Hi I just took a pregnancy test this morning and it was negative but it was 4 days before my period. Should I test again on tuesday since the hormone doubles every couple of days? Maybe my hormone level wasn't high enough....
(I know i should wait til i miss a period but i'm so anxious.) Nice answers please thank you.

yes i would test again. i know exactly what you are going through. i think we have the same timing...i have been waiting to try one of the first response early test i bought because i am trying to make it be right with the first one i use. but it is nearly killing me to wait so i very much understand why you did it.
i would wait at least a couple of days and try again with a higly sensitive test. first response was recommended to me. but i don't know from experience which one is best. they say to try and wait even a week after AF was due and test again if you don't get a visit we all dislike.
it is funny how i can be so logical when i am trying to help someone but if it is about my life i freeze! ha ha ha
i hope you get good news and everything goes well.

Yes, it's best to wait a couple of days. Also, pay attention to the sensitivity of the test. Although digitals are clearer, they are not as sensitive so you have to have more of the hCG hormone in your system to get a positive. Try a pink line test and see what you get- on those, ANY test line is a positive. Also, remember to test using your first morning urine since it's more concentrated. If you weren't successful this cycle, try Fertility Charting. It really does help. Good luck!

Yes, retest the first say of your missed period. If you are pregnant, the chances of getting a positive result so early are very unlikely. Good luck!
I know you're anxious, but there's nothing more frustrating than turning out to not really be pregnant, and thinking about all the wasted pregnancy tests (and money spent on them). So try really hard to wait!

Yes wait until at least one day after your scheduled period and then take the test. This is what my wife did to make sure she got an accurate reading. Good Luck!

I'd definitely retest in a couple of days, and use the First Response since it detects lower levels of the hormone. Good luck.

If you're anxious, by all means, test again. That small amount of money for another test is nothing compared to peace of mind. :)

if you are unsure do the test again. and if you have the signs of it then do it now and if your not sure what the signs are go on the net and have a look.
pending on the type of test they are normally right but if your unsure plz do try again.
