Early Testing?????
| Fri, 07-14-2006 - 2:33pm |
Have any of you tried to test early???? I don't expect my period until the 18th, I bought a test that said it may detect pregnancy 5 days befor missed period. I tried it this morning and got a - :( We just started trying, so I am not surprised if I am not. I mean I will wait and test next week sometime too, as it may just be early, I just wish I knew for sure I am not good at waiting!!!!!! Any one else test early and get a - then a few days later get a +??? We are going out of town for the weekend, that will get my mind off things and time go by faster! Good luck to everyone I hope you get the results you are hoping for!

Honestly, I would wait until Wednesday, that was you will know you are late and you have a greater change of showing positive if you are pg. Last month my period was due on June 21st and it came on the 22nd - after I wasted a PG test. My period this month should be next thursday or friday, but instead of obsessing about, I'm going to wait to see if I miss my period on Friday and take a test that Saturday am on the 29th
Good luck!
I test early all the time. I have been trying for 2 years with no luck. But it is best advised to wait until the day of your missed period. If you take a look at those test up to 5 days early tests..You will see on the box a percentage of accuracy for testing early I think 5 days is like only 50% accurate or something like that. I think they do this to try to get people to buy more tests or buy their brand to know sooner.
If you would like to test early, I would suggest buying $1 tests from dollar tree or a dollar store or getting them online for less than $1 each that way you aren't wasting any money.
I am still getting BFN's and today I was supposed to get my AF. I did get a little spotting yesterday and I have an awful headache today. I never get headaches with AF. I had cramping earlier this week. I had an IUI done on July 3rd so am hoping to be pg from it. I will test again in the morning and hope that spotting was only from implantation.
