Should have started the 10th of this month but just wondering how long to wait until I get one and take it.

5 days afterwards will usually give an accurate result, although I think there are some tests out there than now advertise they can detect much earlier. Read the box of your test and see what it says about how sensitive or how early it can detect hcg.

You can take most pregnancy tests as soon as the day that you we're expecting your period. Some tests will even give you a response 3 to 4 days before that day. Try taking one of these today and see what happens... However, beware that false negatives can easily happen if you take a test too early. Therefore, even if your results are negative stop drinking and/or smoking until you get your period. If you don't get your period in the next 5 to 7 days, take another one or check with your doctor. Good luck!!

Most tests are supposed to be able to detect pregnancy by the first missed day. Some claim to be able to predict up to 4 & 5 days before a period is due.

because it is summer, your period may come a little later. but if you think you are going to have a baby, wait least a week. also after taking a home test, see the doctor also.

You can take one now. Some brands you can take up to 4 days before. So go ahead and take one. Good Luck

After your missed period, you can pretty much take on anytime. Check the inserts for more info.

You can take it now, then if it's negative and you still don't have your period, take another one a few days later.
