When should I retake the test. I was supposed to start my mens yesterday, and yes I my husband and I are trying, but it hasn't come yet. This past week I have been have pms/ pregnancy symptoms. Such as, nausea, gas, tiredness, so on and so forth. We are taking clomid and metformin. I have been charting and all that good stuff. What do you think. Does anyone have any idea of what I am going through. How long should I wait before I see my OBGYN?

you might be late because you are stressing. wait another week and take another one. when i got pregnant my hubby and i were trying also. i missed my period so i took 3 test at home. then i was scheduled for my toncils to come out. i took a test at the hospital and it also came out negative. a week after i had my tonsils out i took another test at home and it was positive. the next night i started himerageing from my throat and had it comfirmed by the hospital that i was 6 weeks pregnant. thank god my daughter is ok after all of the surgerys i had. but what i am basically trying to say is that, i could take a really long time to show up.

Can I still be pregnant if the test is negative (have a "false negative")? In a word, yes. You could be testing too early (before your baby is making enough pregnancy hormone to be detected by the test.) And some women (this is fairly rare, but possible) never get a positive urine test even when they're definitely pregnant (for some reason the hormone doesn't make it into their urine.) I have a friend who didn't get a positive HPT until 25 DPO! (With her second baby, a test at 23 DPO was negative . . . but a test on 30 DPO was positive. Oddly enough, with #3, her positive test came at only 12 DPO.) If you get a negative test but think you might be preggo anyway, wait a couple of days (giving the hCG hormone time to build up) and try again. It's not over until the fat lady sings-- and your period crashes the party.
If you are not monitoring your fertility in any way (OPK's, charting cervical mucus or basal temperature, ultrasounds) it becomes extra-tricky. There are two parts to every menstrual cycle: from the start of your period to ovulation, which can vary quite a bit in length, and from ovulation to your next period, which is usually consistent in length. (This second half is known as the "luteal phase," and the normal range is 10-16 days. It's normal for your typical luteal phase to vary by a day or two. For example, mine is normally 11 days, but 10 and 12 are not unheard of either. I have also had a couple of longer ones by total fluke.)
Because ovulation can happen at any time, it's possible your egg was delayed for some reason (stress, illness, travel, excitement.) This doesn't mean your period is actually "late" (it could arrive within the normal 10-16 days after ovulation), but rather than your entire cycle was delayed due to a later-than-usual ovulation.

You can get false positives for weeks so try another brand of test and you may want to wait a few days before trying again. the only 100 percwnt way to know would be a blood test at this point. Good Luck!!

I would take it in about a week. Some women have false negatives till they're 3 months pregnant! So just give it some time or the best thing you can do is go get a blood test. Good luck =)

Wait at least 3-5 days after your missed period, and make an appointment as soon as you get a positive result. Doctors usually want to retest before they treat you prenatally.

Yes wait until seven days to get a positive result

yes because every girl is different when it comes to producing enough of the pregnancy hormone in the blood. you should wait about another week and test again. make sure you use your first morning urine because it is most concentrated. relax and don't stress over it. good luck to you.

I would wait at least 2 weeks. But that is just personal opinion.

I got a bfp 3 days after my missed period. And I would have gotten one sooner because it came up two lines right away. And they were very dark.
