should i wait to take the test?

Question

i dont have my period for about another week, (maybe a few days more than that) but i was wondering if it is to early to take a pregnancy test? i have this feeling that i need to check if im pregnant or not and i just wanted to take the test, but im not sure if i take it this early if it will still be accurate. please help!!

Answer 1

I took mine on the 19 and my monthly was due on the 24. I got a very faint poisitve I took it at noon and I took 3 more since then just to be sure I am not crazy. One I took the 20 in the morning and at 12 am and it had a bold line. You can buy a pack of two or three and see what you get. If you are trying you will use all 3. If you turn up that you are you will probally even take all 3 just to be sure most women do if they have another test to take. Wish you the best!

Answer 2

Most pregnancy tests are accurate about 10 days after conception, and most women get pregnant between days 8 and 19 of the menstrual cycle. So, you may not get a positive result yet, but then again, you might. What do you have to lose? If the result is positive already, then you know. If it's negative, take another test in a few more days. I guess that's why those pregnancy test packages come with two sticks! Hope it turns out the way you want it to.

Answer 3

No hpt will be accurate until 5 days before your missed period...or even later than that. If you're 7 or more days before your period, you will get a negative whether or not you're pregnant, unless you got pregnant last month rather than this one and just happened to have a period anyway (which can happen). 51% of women get a positive when they are pregnant 5 days before a missed period with the early response tests, but so wait until then and test with first morning's urine. Still, some women don't get a positive until their periods are late, so if it doesn't come when expected, you should test once more. Good luck!

Answer 4

When I got pregnant with my first child, I knew I was pregnant the week it happened, however the pregnancy tests all said negative. I waited until the week my period was due and took a pregnancy test at the doctors office, which was still negative. I went the week after my period was due and took a blood test which they said was negative at first. They had to send it in to another clinic and it did turn out to be positive, so I would wait if I were you.

Answer 5

if you want to test that bad, then take a test, it might be a waste of money because it is more then likely to come out negative and if it does wait a week and take another, still not happy go to your doctor

Answer 6

It is best not to take a test until you have missed your period. If you are pregnant it wouldn't even have implanted in your uterus yet, so your body would not even acknowledge you are pregnant. Why concern yourself so much when you haven't even missed your period yet? Just relax or you probably won't get your periods just coz you are stressing yourself out. And if you want to be pregnant, you'll just be working yourself up and be disappointed if it is negative.

Answer 7

still might be just a little early, might show a very faint line, might not. i took one 3days before mine and it was positive and took another test 1 week later and now am 7weeks. might sound a little funny saying this, just check down there inside if you are really swollen and there is a little bump then you are, good luck.

Answer 8

They do make tests for early responses. i don't know if they are good.. If your not presenting symptoms, I would wait until a week or so passed your missed peroid.

Answer 9

I think u should wait and save ure money. u will know soon enough, but if its a muist and u can afford it take the blood test at the docs, but a hp its too soon

Answer 10

It is too early. Wait another week. I know the feeling though!!!
