Many "early" tests can be taken 4 days before your period is expected, or 10 days after sex. However, at this point the tests are only about 70% accurate. To get a good reading wait (i know how horrible that sounds when all you can think is "am I preg", but it's best to try!)

I took a test and i'm not pregnant yet my period was still very late. However, I started my period this morning, which is a good and a bad thing. Oh well. Thanks for the help though.

About 5 days before your next expected period but wait alittle longer i'd say

My period was really late for the first time ever the month before I got pregnant....I thought it was a strange coincidence......But a good one!...Hope it goes your way!

Catt........ That is strange indeed........ Mine was 2 weeks late when the doc. Did a test and it showed neg. Then he put me on meds to get a period, now I am a day late wonder if it will be pg this time. I did not tell my husband that I am late, the last time we both had built up hopes, I will just surprise him with the results, if it comes to that........

Yes. Unfortunately, I am not pregnant. However, I was late by a bit and got my period just in time for my wedding on saturday. Well it would figure wouldn't it? Now if that isn't a lesson not to stress before your wedding I don't know what else is. Thanks for the help though. On another note, does anyone know if jessymin (sorry about the spelling) had her baby?

I am stilllll pregnant haha

Dom, sorry about the news but have a great wedding!!!! Enjoy the champagne & we'll see about next month eh????

It depends on the type of test you take....
I tested 2 days before my period was suppose to start and it was a very very very light positive. I was not sure so I took another the next and it was darker..

But I would say just wait until at least a day before your period should start and that should give you accurate results

Thanks guys! As I posted before, I am not pregnant. I found out monday. I am so excited about this weekend! Thank you guys!
