Okay this is really embarassing but here goes...

I have two kids already And each time I concieved was when dh and I didn't use a contraceptive device.

For each Child I knew the exact day I conceived.

Well on may 2, 2004(of course) Dh and I went "Bowling" and I have not started my period which was due may 6th. So If I am pg that would be 10 days into pregnancy.

Usually I know almost 3 days later because my boobs start hurting unbearably.

So far nothing, although I felt a little naseous this morning, but I don't know if that was just wishful thinking.

Well to finally get to the question, when should it show up on a pg test if I am pregnant?

Are you a M.O.M-Mom of Many? Find other M.O.M's

A home pregnancy test should be accurate the day you miss your period. If in doubt, get a blood test at your doctors office. You don't even need and appointment. Just call the office and tell them you would like a lab slip to get a blood preg. test done. They will either call the order to the lab of your choice or you can pick it up at the office and go to the lab of your choice.

There are "First Response" tests which are supposed to be accurate a few days before you even miss your period.

There are pregnancy tests out there that you can take a few days before your period is suppose to show.
And all of them are good for the day you miss it.
Good luck and I hope you get the results you want.
