Do you suspect you are pregnant? If so, a pregnancy test can give you the answer one way or another. For many women, the two week wait to know if they are pregnant just adds more anxiety to deciding the best time to take a pregnancy test. One of the most important things to know if you are confused about when you should take a home pregnancy test is that you are more likely to get a negative result if it’s done too early.

When Should You Take a Home Pregnancy Test
Hi I’m Stephanie So my LMP was on May 4th and ended on May 7th .. Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex while I was fertile and while I was ovulating. My projected period was soposto have start on June 1st and till this day I have not gotten my period.
Could there be a chance that I could be pregnant ?
Any advice would be great .
Thank you !!
Hi, Having sex around or on your ovulation days gives you the best chances of being pregnant. Take a pregnancy test to check if you are pregnant or not.
Hey I have a question. My hubby and I are trying to Conceive. We made love May 28-29. He did release both times. I ovulated on the 31st of May. My cervix mucous is whitish. My cervix is really low. Just wondering if I could be pregnant
I got my period on May 24th and ended on on the 30th and ovulated the very same day, is it too soon to test? I’ve been peeing a lot more then usual, my breasts are super sensitive and I’m always tired, my app says I may be able to take a test, but I’m just wondering if anyone else has taken a test this early and if so what was the results? TIA ????
Most pregnancy tests have days mentioned after which you should take it.However, sensitivity of your home pregnancy test kit is also important.
Hi my name Is pearl and I think I missed my period it was supposed to come on June 2 2016 and it didn’t come but I been having these lower back pains and migraines I took a test before my missed period and it came out negative
Hi Pearl, Sometimes PMS and pregnancy symtoms are same. Stress and physical discomfort may sometimes lead to missed period also.
Hey so I had the IUD for 5 years exact got it removed April 27,16, I didn’t have my period through out the 5 years of being on the birth control but my period came on the day I got the IUD removed and ended April 30,16, so I think it was my period. Started using ovulation kit because I am (TTC) so I started ovulating on may 27,16 to June 2,16 and had sex the entire month with my husband my question is can I be pregnant and when can I take a pregnancy test???
Your body may need time to balance out before you become pregnant. Yes, you can become pregnant but it is not as likely since you just had a IUD removed. Keep doing what you are doing. When you miss a cycle or one is late, take a test 2 weeks after. The blood could have been just from having the IUD removed and not an actual period.
Hi. I would really appreciate some advice please. My LMP was 27th April (the 1st day of my LMP) I bled for 7 days – my usual cycle is 28days but I seem to have missed one now. I took a test yesterday got a negative result. If I was pregnant and I was due the 25th of May surely it would show by now right??
Hello. Yes, the test should give accurate results now. You may need to see your doctor to determine the reason for the missed period.
Any advice would be much appreciated. My last period ended on 25th April. Periods are normally regular on around 20th of each month. I am now 12 days late. I had spotted about 10 days ago and have had stomach cramps (a lot like period pain) and lower back pain. Took 3 tests, all negative. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Hi Karen, my situation was exactly the same thing. I missed my period in May, but I thought it was stress. I had pelvic pain along with a terrible headache, so I bought 2 pregnancy test and they gave me a faint positive on both, but they were so faint that you had to look at them with a very bright light. Well a few days past and I went and bought 2 more, I took one right away and it was negative, but the pelvic pain along with a terrible headache were still lingering on, so I decided to go to the ER. Well turns out, in fact I am pregnant, the urine sample they took from me was still negative, but when they drawed blood from me it showed up then. The Dr told me it was too soon to read off of my urine, but my baby hormones are low which means its extremely early. So you may want to try and set up you an appointment with your obgyn. I hope this helps you.

Hi am Stacy I missed my last period April the 15 n I take 5 test n the first one say positive n the next 4 say negative sometimes I see spots does anybody knows what’s going on
Hi Stacy, spotting is also an early sign of pregnancy. You should consult a doctor to be confirmed of pregnancy.
Hi, my name is Ashia (like the country), and my lmp was April 26. Today is Memorial Day, and I have yet to see my period, my headaches are more frequent and my breast looks like I’ve had a procedure done and my mood swings are through the roof. I’m too nervous to take a home pregnancy test!
Hello. Though you’re having the typical pregnancy symptoms, it’s best for you to take a pregnancy test. It’s okay to be anxious but you should shake off the nervousness and get it done.
Had an abortion on the 3rd of feb. and seen my period for 14 days after I did the abortion but the hold month of March and April I haven’t seen any period but I took a test on the 28th of April and it shows neg. but I also took one this month as well on the 25th and it shows positive so I’m wondering if I’m really pregnant or should I take another test to make sure. Can someone help me understand please and Thanks.
Hi, pregnancy tests could show negative results even if it might be positive sometimes because of bad quality reasons. You should take another one to be sure.
Hello, I came on my period on the 29th of April and my cycle is usually every 28-29 days. My husband and I had sex the day I ovulated, which was the 14th now I’m starting to feel nauseous at night. When should I take a pregnancy test?
You can get the most accurate result if you wait at least one week after missing your period. In addition, the result might be even more accurate if the test is done first in the morning as the urine is far more concentrated at this time. The urine-based home pregnancy tests offer great accuracy.
That’s the same date of my lmp I took my test yesterday and it was positive
Hello my last period was on April 14th, I had unprotected sex on April 27th. When should I take a pregnancy test?

Hi, had my period last April 3, 2016 (first day of menses) I started drinking pills (birth control pills) on the very same day. Then last April 22, 2016 I got my period again but it was not as heavy as my usual period. And now I’m missing my period. Is this normal (because I’m taking pills)? I tested and it was negative. I’m worried that pregnant and I’m still taking my pills till now. Should I stop?
Hello. I last took my BC pill on April 29th. I did not have sex but have not started my period. I did however have sex on May 7th with out protection. Can I be pregnant? I have been really punctual with my periods. I know I’m not late because I am pregnant, but I am uneasy about now possibly being pregnant for having sex and not being on my pill. Can I be pregnant? HELP!!!
Hello. Your chances of being pregnant depend on whether you were fertile on or around the date that you had sex. If you had unprotected sex especially during your fertile days then you are at risk of becoming pregnant. The length of your menstrual cycle and the first day of your last period are needed to provide the most accurate response.
My last period was April the first and lasted until the 4th, I have a 28 day cycle , my boyfriend and I did have sex when I was ovulated. I had googy brown discharge when ever I would wipe on the 17th of April and the I started spotting on the 18 and 19th but my period wasn’t suppose to start until the 29th. I don’t know if I should consider the 18th and 19th or considered that 29th was a missed period? If Iam pregnant I should be around five weeks would that be far enough to provide an accurate test result?
Hi Kay, Spotting after ovulation does not mean periods. You can check pregnancy by going through a pregnancy test 10 days after your missed period date. All the best!
I need help!!!!! I have a 28-29 cycle My last period was April 4 I’m now 7 days late on my period I tested but it came negative but I still don’t get my period!!!! Could that been a false negative? Was it to early to take the test?
Give yourself at least 3 more days and take another pregnancy test.
