Most home pregnancy tests claim to be able to determine if a woman is pregnant 5 to 7 days before a missed period. However, some women do have to wait longer than that. This is because as we are all different, we all produce the pregnancy hormone hCG (that the tests detect) at a different rate. Many women have to wait until the day that their period is due, or sometimes even later in order to get an accurate result.
With that being said, if I was you, I would buy a packet of 'double tests' and I would test on the 15th of July, as that is when your next period is due. There is no sense in wasting money by testing too early. If your period doesn't show up, wait a few more days, and test again with the other stick.
I'm going to include the link to a trying to conceive forum that I think you might find useful. It's full of supportive women with boundless knowledge about these issues. I learnt so much there that I doubt I would have learnt otherwise.

Some Urine pregnancy test can give you the result as early as 1-2 weeks after you have missed your period. I'll wait till you missed your period then test yourself if you are pregnant. Sometimes, the soreness and/or color change in your nipple area are due to the shifting of hormones that goes with your menstrual cycle, Its not always an indicator if you are pregnant or not. But Good luck!!!

that sounds like you may already be pegnant, the only way to check that early is to have a blood test. or wait until your period is suppose to start, if it don't then you can take a home test. they are pretty good these days, i would say 7 - 10 are right. anyother symptoms, like nausea, food tasting weird, smells are different. I take it you have never experienced your breast being sore before a cycle.

You can take a test as early as 5 days before your period is due (7/10) but it could be a false negative so be prepared to test again after your period is due. Welcome to the "two week wait". The longest 2 weeks you'll ever endure when you are trying to conceive.

I like the preg test with the plus or minus. They work really well. I found out in as little as 3 weeks....got a plus... Go for it. Test now, and then in a few. If both come up positive then go see your doc. Best Wishes!!

a blood test from a doctor can tell you about 4 or 5 days after intercourse so thats my suggestion. If you end up pregnant I congratulate you if not don't give up your body can think your pregnant and you not be really be.
