When should I take pregancy test?

Hey, gang. Ever since I mentioned last week to Andre that I felt nauseated for about 2 days, he's been wanting me to take a pregancy test. It would definately not be a good time for a baby, since he's in school, and he's even said that he'd postpone school and go back to work, but I really don't want him to do that. Anyway, on Sunday he bought a pregnancy test that says it will detect if you are pregnant up to 4 days before your expected period. I told him that I shouldn't really take it yet, since my next expected period is about 7 days away. I was just wondering if tomorrow would still be too early to take it. He really wants to know so that he can stop worrying...he's worrying more than I am lol! Especially since I got a salad from Subway the other day and the pickles looked good, so I asked for a side of pickles. Well, they had run out of the little lids for the side cups, so the guy gave me a huge soup container and a whole handfull of pickles!! I was eating some at work with my salad, and everyone was asking if I was pregnant LOL!!

Anyway, I think I'll take the test tomorrow morning when I wake up, unless someone can tell me that it's still too early. I sort of think the whole thing is ridiculous, since I haven't missed a period yet... but if it will give Andre some peace of mind... ~Sabrina

girl I'm in the same boat you are LOL .... I've been feeling nauseated for the past few days, and having small little cramps all over my stomach especially in my ovary area ....


I took a test last night (about 1 week after possibly conceiving) ... but it was negative, but my doctor said it could still be too early to detect it, and to wait about another week and a half and then test again in the morning time....


what confuses me is that I haven't missed my period but ... my period was expected only a few days after i returned home and it was 2 or 3 days late ... so i dunno, ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! LOL

You could try taking the test now. I would get 2, one for now and one for when you are late.

My tests were always pretty accurate...no false positives or negatives, but you should still check w/a doctor if you're not sure.

Good luck and, no matter what happens, you'll make it work.

Sabrina, Todays OTC pregnancy are accurate at about ten days post conception. If you give it two weeks though you'll get a sharper positive. If you decide to go to the doctor for one ours are pretty much the same anymore. Positive show up at about ten days post conception. Also first morning urine will be more concentrate in HCG so it may show up even sooner. Good Luck! Hugs, Brenda

Ps: If you do one now and it is negative but your period is late do another one just to be safe. Hugs!

Hugs, Brenda

Well I hadn’t had seen aunt flo for about 8 months… so after discussing this with my doctor he wanted to do a blood pregnancy test to rule that out it came back neg…(and they are supposed to be a very early detector) that was on jan 7th I even went for an ultrasound the day after and they only detected what they thought was fluid and swelling of the uterus and told me the best bet would be a hysterectomy then I found out I was pregnant when they went to do all my blood work for my surgery opps lol I was already 9 weeks according to all the ultrasounds I would have conceived around Dec 28 I guess I had one spare egg left floating around and timing was perfect because now we have little Isabella lol you can test tomorrow if you want but I wouldn’t rely on the results I would wait until the day or two before your supposed to start and then again if and when your late just my opinion hope it all works out the best way….


Ps… no one knows this but I been spreading baby dust all over the boards,,,, Bella needs a suitable playmate heheheh
