The best time to test is within that one week span of being late. Although you have shortened cycles doesn't mean that you should have lower ormone levels when you do get pregnant. Also, when you do a test, test first thing in the morning. The first urine carries more hormones than that of later in the day. If when you test, the test is negative wait 4-7 days then retest. If you still don't have a period you need to see a doctor. When in doubt you can always call the doctor's office and ask to speak with a nurse. Hope this helps.

The best time to test is always a day or so after you are supposed to have had your period, some tests will show if you are pregnant before that date but to be absolutely sure (99.9% with most tests) wait until after you have missed your period. Congrats if you are, I couldnt think of a better Christmas Presant.

REALLY GOOD QUESTION! Have you seen the commercial that says, "A pregnancy test that works the minute it happens" I don't know about that, however. I know that a blood test may be taken 9 days after conception to tell you for certain.

hCG levels can't be detected until 10 days after ovulation. So, depending on how quickly you ovulate, you could test now. I recommend using a highly sensitive brand. Here's a link to EPT and their hCG sensitivity. Of course, it would be easier to just wait until your period doesn't start and then test, but I was never that patient. Best of luck!

Usually 4 days before your period.

Most tests are best when used after you are 1 week late. Good Luck! I wish you the best!

Its always best to wait until you're late to test. You get the best readings that way.
