If you do not chart or monitor your fertility in any way, and you think you may have conceived, you should wait 19 days (or longer) after having sex to test. Why 19?! Sperm can live approximately 5 days in the proper environment; if the sperm managed to live until you popped an egg, the actual conception could have taken place several days after the sex act that got the sperm there. To make sure you're not testing too early, assume the sperm had very long lives (5 days is considered a very long sperm life) and that conception occurred then. Then allow 14 days for the embryo to implant and develop enough hCG to show up on a pregnancy test (96% of pregnant women will test positive by then.)

Some tests, such as clear blue i think say you can take the test upto 4 days before your period is due.. I think it is probably best to wait till you are late though as it has a better chance of working.. Good luck!

It is still a little early to be testing, wait at least another week and try again, some tests can detect up to 4 days before your period is due.
Good luck!

It's a little soon to get accurate results. Read up on each test kit and it will tell you the minimum time you have to wait.
Be calm and wait a little while. Stress won't make things any better.

February 11-14?? It would be too early to tell.. Wait until March and take another one. Good luck!

Forget it until next month, around march 15 would be a good day to check.
