Hey shoneen, how are you doing?

It is advisable to wait at least a week after a missed period for a reliable answer to that question, but often the suspense is often just too much to bear! This may be related to delayed ovulation in that particular cycle, or because the pregnancy test was not sensitive enough.

An early morning urine is usually most concentrated will improve the pickup. The earlier that pregnancy is detected, the more miscarriages are found.

Best wishes,

I kinda have the same question. Cuz I bought first respose and it says that 79% of women will get a positive even if tested 5 days before a missed period. Well with my first pregnancy I got a faint but positive test 1 day before my missed period. And this time im feeling pregnant and have really sore breasts and I tested today which is 2 days before my missed period and got a negative. So im gonna wait until friday to take it again. Good luck!!

Thanks you guys. My period isn't quite a week late just yet. My breasts are sore but they're normally sore a week before I start my period. If by friday I haven't started my period yet, then sat morning i'm going to take a test again. I've already taken one, first response, and of course it was negative. I hate it to sound like this but if early detection leads to a miscarriage then i'll be fine with that. I'mnot ready to have another kid, not just yet. I love my daughter, and I love it being just her and i, i'm not ready to give that up. I'll keep you all posted.

Well I am pregnant. Not that far along though, barely along at all. Now I face a huge decision. Keep it or not ? The only reason I face that decision is because I messed up and I dont know who the dad is. It's only two different guys, I say "only" because it could be worse, i've heard of and seen worse. And neither of them are talking to me at the moment b/c of all of this. Do you know of anyway to pinpoint exactly how far along you are?

It is not really that easy to pipoint your ovulation date. Your egg is viable for 72 hours after it is released. The sperm on the other hand can be viable to implant an egg up to 7 days after ejucalation.. You will have to have a sonogram this is the most accurate way of telling but it depends on the time tolerances (differences between unprotected parteners) that you are working with..
