is 8 days before your expected period too soon for an at home preg test? or does it have to be 4 days?

Answer 1

Best to wait a few days longer but if and when you decide to test "early" try waiting 'til morning and don't drink any water for several hours before testing. If there is HCG present in your urine, water will dilute the results.

Sometimes there is enough HCG early on to turn those over the counter tests positive even before the recommended test period, but know this: IF YOU TEST EARLY AND IT COMES OUT NEGATIVE, BE SURE TO TEST AGAIN 'CAUSE YOU MAY HAVE JUST "TESTED TOO SOON."

I would hate for you to have tested early, thought you were not pregnant only to discover that you were.

Answer 2

I know you can't wait to find out if you're preggy but now is a good tme to start learning patience- a must when it comes to pregnancy and childbirth. Don't open yourself upto disappointment by testing too early. wait a day or too after the date your period is due and in case the test comes out negative don't be discouraged. if u still haven't got your period test in a week from your missed date!! good luck!

Answer 3

most tests tell you they will work 4-5 days before your expected period

Answer 4

That is too soon. 5 days before is the soonest you could do it. I am waiting to take a test too, so I know your anticipation.

Answer 5

First reaction is meant to be particularly precise, I took one a pair of days in the previous and it confirmed i grew to become into pregnant, considered one of my pregnancies did not teach something a week after it grew to become into due, mandatory a blood attempt.

Answer 6

Answer 8
