I would say wait. If you keep testing even before your period comes you will waste money on tests and get your hopes up. I know it is hard but I waited till 1 week after my period was late and got my BFP. Waiting also prevents getting a chemical pregnancy positive which later turns to a negative.

i totally understand. i just found out i was pregnant about one week ago. i took the pregnancy test 3 days after my mssed period and i got mixed results. my husband didn't believe the first positive (faintly positive). i was right. i took three the next day and got mixed results. then on sunday, consistently positive.


here is the best advice i can give you regarding the home pregnancy test since you are testing very early on like i did. I learned the more expensive way and i did extensive research on the different types of home pregnancy tests. go buy FIRST RESPONSE, not the generics or other ones. The reason being is that this one is the most sensitive of them all--it detects lower amount of beta HCG then any of the other ones--despite what they advertise on the box. use it first thing in the morning--first pee before you hydrate yourself. If you have missed your expected day of your peiord then go do this first thing in the morning and if it is negative wait 2-3 days and repeat. remember--buy first response. they are the best and according to all the data on the products out there. please let me know if we get to share in each other's joy!!!!!

What is a chemical pregnancy?

A chemical pregnancy is the clinical term used for a very early miscarriage. In many cases, the positive pregnancy test was achieved before the woman's period was due but a miscarrige occured before a heartbeat was able to be seen on an ultrasound.

With the ultra sensitive pregnancy tests on the market today, it is easier than ever to get a positive result 3 or 4 days before your period is due. It is wonderful for those who NEED to know, but does have it's down side. Early testing shows chemical pregnancies which would not have been detected had the woman waited for her period to arrive.

Chemical pregnancies are unfortunately very common. 50 to 60% of first pregnancies end in miscarriage very early in pregnancy. Most occur without the woman even knowing that she was pregnant.


What Causes a Chemical PregnancyMost chemical pregnancies are due to chromosomal problems in the developing fetus. Other possible causes are inadequate uterine lining, uterine abnormalities both congenital or acquired like fibroids, low hormone levels, luteal phase defect or certain infections.
How can I Prevent Chemical Pregnancies

Most chemical pregnancies can not be prevented. If you have recurring chemical pregnancies, your doctor should be able to investigate and help you formulate a treatment which is best for you. Potential treatments include vitamin B6 (at least 50mg a day), progesterone cream, and baby asprin. Be sure to discuss potential treatments with your doctor.

If infection is the cause, antibiotics prescribed by your Doctor can help.


Hope this helps!
