How soon Can I take it?!


Question Posted Thursday August 10 2006, 12:27 pm

My period was July 26th to July 31st. I was ovulating from August 4th to the 9th. I had sex the 4th, 5th, 6th, and twice on the 8th. I also expierenced this:Many mothers-to-be get a few days of bleeding right around the time that the early embryo is burrowing into the wall of the uterus. -But, this happened around the 4th & 5th. I have never bled after my period, I have very regular cycles. I dont know if this is all in my head because I want a baby so much or what. How soon can I take a pregnancy test? I'd like to today but not if it's to early and will just come back a negative.

It is still too early, you should wait at least until 2 days after you miss your next period, and even that needs to be confirmed by a blood test. It's possible that you are of course, it's just too early for a test just yet.

It'd be pointless to take it now, it will only come up negative. Best bet is to wait till the end of the month and take one or better yet go to a Dr.

It's too early to take a pregnancy test; it will only come out negative.

The very earliest a home pregnancy test claims to be accurate is three days before the first day of your next period (very few brands make this claim, and the claim is pretty doubtful). Most pregnancy tests however, are only accurate after three days to a week after the first day of your missed period.

Taking it today would be a waste of your money.

So relax, keep yourself busy. Watch movies, read, cook, anything to keep your mind busy. No point in sitting and stewing. By my calculations, it makes no sense to even bother with a pregnancy test until after the 23rd of August and you can't completely trust the results until the 26th to the 30th.

You should wait until your period is due to take the pregnancy test. If you take it too fast and it comes out negative, it does not mean you're not pregnant because implantation can happen 6-12 days after ovulation. But it would be a waste to take it now.
