How long before I get a positive test...

I am 7 going on 8 days late. I know most people say to take a pregnancy test after the first day of your missed period. With my first pregnancy, I was 12 days late before I showed a positive. I took a test yesterday and it was negative, but I'm still not convinced. I was just curious how long does it take everyone else to get a positive.

Hi.. I had several negative tests from 1st day of missed period to 10 days of missed period. I tested again on the 13th day of my missed period and got a positive. I'm now 7 weeks pregnant and due on Nov. 21st :) Hope this helps..

Hi tab,
I had posted in another thread, that I tested today and it was negative. I didn't use my first morning and I haven't missed my p yet. I am actually due on Saturday, but my body is still acting pregnant.

Can you get a blood test done? If I don't start by Tuesday of next week, I am going for a blood test, so I don't waste anymore money on a hpt. My last daughter I tried 10 different test, and I was almost 2 weeks late, before I found out for sure.

I honestly believe it depends on your body, and how much hcg is built in your system.

Best of luck to you and God bless,
Wendy

Hello,


Do you mean trying to get pregnant without his him knowing it??? I think that is deceitful and it could come back and slap you in the face.
