If you were me, you've been sick 2 weeks, and your period is 2 days late..how long do you wait to take a test?

Question

Ive been feeling really queesy the past 2 weeks and yes Ive had unprotected sex. It's only be 2 days though and I'm not sure if I should spend the money to buy a test right away.

Answer 1

I would not freak out yet - it may just be nerves.

I would try to relax and not let it worry you just yet. Many women skip a cycle now and then. There are many tests you can purchase for as low as $10. It may be worth the peace of mind.

Answer 2

hun,
i wass the same way with the sicknesses but my test did not come postive until i was 1 month along but most docters and web sites say 1 week to a week and half after your missed period so i would say give it about 10-8 days from now and buy i test and if you want a baby hope for the best and if you don't want a baby get ready for the worest news but don't stress about it maybe next time use a condom, b/c, or plan b! (i'm not trying to be rude so please don't take that as being rude! thanks)

Answer 3

I would suspect pregnancy. You cantake some home pregnancy tests as early as 4 days before your missed period. Go to the Dollar General Store or Dollar Tree. They have pregnancy tests for $1 and they are just as accurate as a lot of the expensive early HPTs. They detect HcG levels as low as 25, sometimes lower (which is good!) Go to this site and it'll tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about HPTs. www.peeonastick.com .

Also, this is a good site where women list their early pregnancy symptoms. www.twoweekwait.com .

I hope you get the result that you're hoping for! Good luck!!! :-)

Answer 4

I suggest taking it 3-5 days after your expected start date. Even if you are on the pill it is not uncommon to have your period start a few days late (due to stress, illness, etc).

You won't be wasting a test, however, if not having your period is making you go crazy. Could be worth the $7.

Answer 5

There are tests that can tell you that you are pregnant as soon as 2 days after a missed period. You can buy a test or some women's clinics will offer you a free pregnancy test. Just keep in mind that some of these clinics are right to life clinics and if you are not sure that you want to be pregnant they will try to pressure you.

Answer 6

Well me being as impatient as i am i wld test..there are plenty of sensitive tests out there that measure at 25miU that wld surely come up with an accurate answer..try a First Response Early Result test or even a Confirm they seem too be pretty accurate and are sensitive..also i have heard that the $tree tests are pretty good and they are more sensitive again i think they meaure at 20miU.. try looking at this web site its fairly good for determining what measures what and if u think u shld test now or later.. www.peeonastick.com
GoodLuck :o)

Answer 7

Wait until you miss your period before testing! Why have a false answer and spend the money...

Answer 8

If your period is 2 days late most of the over the counter tests could be used.

In SC you can buy pregnancy tests from one of the Dollar Stores around...............and from what people say, they are accurate.

They are usually around $10 or so.

Good luck.

Answer 9

I would get a test, or look in the phone book under abortion alternatives these places give free pregnancy tests and if you are pregnant they will give you your options ( they will not be against your wishes if your are pregnant and want to terminate it)and help you find a doctor and if you need medical coverage they will assist you.

Answer 10

Wait until maybe a week after your expected date of your period. It could just be stress causing you to be late.
