Pregnancy test on Tisha B’Av
August 7, 2022

Question

I wanted to know If I can take a pregnancy test on Tisha B’av.

I am trying to conceive for a while and am taking progesterone because of a few early losses. I need to test 2 weeks after ovulation and if it’s negative, stop progesterone. Two weeks after ovulation comes out on Tisha B’av.

Thank you!

Answer

Thank you for reaching out to us.

There is no constraint on taking a pregnancy test during the fast.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. You may find it helpful to arrange a free consultation with a Yoetzet Halacha Fertility Counselor, details here.
