Your preg. hormone levels have to be up in order for the test to work. Try using one of the test that will allow you to test earlier.

I took a pregnancy test 4 days after conception and it was positive. You have to take the first response test. My period wasnt due for 3 weeks.

You can take one 5 days befor your missed period. But the reason is is because that is how long it takes for the pregnancy hormone to show up.

Not true anymore. Technology has advanced so much nowadays you can take a pregnancy test up to five days before your missed period.

The test detects the hcg pregnancy hormone in urine. It takes about two weeks after conception for the hormone to kick in. This coincides with the time when your period would come.

i've never heard that i always took one before i missed one i guess if you think of it as you can't take one till after you missed a period its because it takes that long for the hormone to register on a home pregnancy test other than that i've never heard you can't take one until you miss your period

The hormone levels of HCG increase everyday you are pregnant. They can't be detected by the average urine test until youve been pregnant for at least 7 days. You can have your doc give you a blood test the day after implantation though

you can take one before you miss if you get a early detection test.
most people dont think you should test before your perios is missed because of the heartache it can cause if you have a early misscarry and start your period a few days late.
but i have always tested before i missed! and i have had them!
(i misscarried once before i had any babies but i didnt test till i went oops completly missed last months and this months anit here eiter!) so it was probly kinda my fault that i lost it cause i hadnt been taking care of my self because i didnt know i gotten preg when i had gotten preg.
i think the earlier you know the earlier you can start taking less riskes. and the earlier you can get to a DOC

you can take "first response" test 5 days before your expected period. Closer to the date, the more accurate the results are.

because the test are sensitive to a certain HCG percentage and you wont reach that percentage until the day your supposed 2 get your period
