I am wondering if i might be pregnant. I dont for sure remember when my last cycle was. It was on or around valentines day and my cycles are generally 26 days at the most. I think i am on like day 31 or some where around there. I always have 3/5 days of spotting before af arrives and so far nothing. I am 40 and would really welcome a new baby but its not something we have planned on. when should i test? I am having a few signs like my lower back is killing me most of the time and of course the lack of my spotting and i am tired but that could be do to the time change.

The sensitive tests usually work from around the day you would expect to have your period, but some women have lower hcg levels than others. You could definitely test now, I tested positive six days before I missed my period but I think that's pretty unusual....=) If it's negative it may be too early.

Good luck!

It won't hurt anything to go ahead and take a test. They've got some great ones that can tell up to 5 days prior to your expected period. The only sign I had of being pregnant this time was being tired, I took an early test and had my first doctor's visit scheduled by my sixth week. I was 14 wks with my firdt baby before I saw my doctor and I've found that the earlier you find out and make it to the doctor the less you worry about the baby.
