you probably ovulated early this week. Its too early to take the test now. I would take a test around the 16-18th and these are the ones that show results earlier listed below. this information is from my doula. I took a preg. test on day 17 of my cycle and it came up positive.
Get one of them with the lower numbers. Best Wishes!
Pregnancy Test - Sensitivity Comparison
Pregnancy Tests and hCG Values
The pregnancy tests on the market today range widely in their sensitivity in picking up the pregnancy hormone, hCG. In the chart below, the lower the number in the "hCG Detected" column, the earlier you can use the pregnancy tests. As a general rule, hCG levels, if you are pregnant, are between 5 - 50 mIU a week before your period is due. The hCG levels in your system should double every two to three days.
Please remember that every woman is different and the time it takes for the fertilized egg to implant in your uterus wall can vary. A common misconception is that implantion occurs 7 days after conception, but the research findings showed that first appearance of HCG (implantation) occurred 6-12 days after ovulation, with 84% of the pregnancies implanting on days 8-10 after ovulation. If you don't get a positive pregnancy test, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are not pregnant. It could be that you ovulated later than you thought (meaning that conception and subsequent hCG production didn't happen as when you expected) or that, for you, implantation took longer than the average. Your period arriving is a sign that you are not pregnant this cycle, as is a negative blood test from your doctor.
Is a super sensitive pregnancy test the best to use?
For most women, the resounding answer would be YES! It allows you to know earlier if your attempts to conceive were sucessful and get medical care as soon as possible. There *is* a down side to extra sensitive pregnancy tests though. 25% of all pregnancies unfortunately end in miscarriage and many of these being very early pregnancies. If you use a very sensitive pregnancy test, where you test before the day your period is due, you could catch an early pregnancy but end up going on to have your period anyway due to a very early miscarriage. Some women will find it very hard to deal with this sort of emotional rollercoaster.

well it all depends on how long your period runs.. i am gonna answer this q assuming its 28 days which it is so alot of woman.. also assuming you are ovulating on the day 14 mark..
If u had your period sept 25th.. you would ovulate the 9th.. meaning your period would be due the 23rd.. which means you could test on the 18th with the early tests... BUT everyone length is different.. nothing is really normal.. you could have ovulated early or late.. and also it depends on how long it takes the baby to implant.. hcg hormones aren't produced till implantion which doesn't happen the same day in all woman.. 8 days for some 11 for others.. and if your a 11 woman.... your pregnancy is NOT gonna show up on the early preggy test..
I know very confusing and iffy lol

I tested positive with clear blue easy 10dpo. The line was light but definatly there. You could probably try in a couple more days but everyone says to wait until you miss your period. That's unrealistic, I know I couldn't wait. If you get a neg. make sure you test again because obviously it could have been too soon

I would say to leave about 28 days after you think you conceived before you testing,if you want to be sure on the result. To me it showed positive after about 4 weeks and before that I had about 7 tests and all showed negative.Im 20 weeks now :). But you can try sooner too if you want,just get good tests to try with.I would go for Clearblue. Good luck :)

If you the first responce early pregnancy test then you can take the test 5 days before your next expected period but what i did was wait to see if i missed my next period and after i did the test it was positive. so do it 5 days before your next expected period if you just can't wait.good luck and i hope the best.

You could probably take it in the middle of next week- EPT's are good I knew two weeks before my period- (Which would be about next week for you) or you might be able to go to the doctor and have your blood taken.

Don't quote me but I want to say five days before I want to say five days before your next period is due which should be coming up very soon.
