Should I Believe These Results?
Posted: 03-23-05 12:10pm

How early did you all take a pregnancy test? Did you guys wait until a missed period? Because I bought first response.. Which is suppose to be able to tell like 4 days before your missed period. Well technically my period is due this friday.. I test today and it was negative. Do you guys think these are correct results? Should I be showing 2 days before a missed period? Or is it too early? When did you all test??

I know that with my last pregnancy one of the first big symptoms I experienced was sore breasts. And now this time starting monday I have had extremely sore breasts when I press (even gently) on them. So my hopes are still up.. Should I wait until friday or even later to test?

Yeah thats what I was thinking too. Its just temptation and im not very good at waiting. But im gonna stock up on patients and wait... I was just wondering if anyone got positive results even before a missed period like the test claims is possible?

I took the test like five days before my period was due....I was negative. I was really upset but, I waited until my period was like 4 to 5 days late then my husband and I went and got two pregnancy tests. I took the test and I was pregnant!!!

You probably just tested to early.... Are you ttc?

If so........**********babydust*************

Pregnancy tests are accurate up to 4 days before your first missed period, so those results are probably accurate.

Well I was doing some research online and im kinda confused....

First response- the test that claims you can test like 5 days before a missed period required 100 mg hg before it can be detected. While other tests claim to only need like 20 mg or 50. So how can it be detected this early? Well im still not giving up hope... Im gonna test tomorrow.. Ill update you girl.. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!

Hey girl....Keep trying, and don't trust symptoms!!!...The only thing that was the same for me was the feeling like I was gonna start my period any time...My boobs were killling me the first time....This time, nothing....Take a test first thing in the am when the hormone is at it's highest....And good luck to you!!! (hey, it's friday am....Did you take it yet?)

It All Depends On the Person

With my first pregnancy I kept throwing up and my period was late so I took a test and it cam back neg. But then three months later I got the flu and then the morning sickness really started I took another test and it was pos. And when to the doctor and got my u/s I was 4 months pregnant. My second I hadnot even missed my period but I felt funny like something was wrong. So I took a test and it was pos. So all I can say is wait it out and test again in a few more days.
And by the way it is sunday have you retested yet. And did you get results that you wanted

Take home pregnancy tests are only accurate sometimes and with some people. I know several people who had false negatives for the first months of their pregnancy. One of my good friends was over three months pregnant before she ever had a positive (and these were the ones at the doctors office). It depends on your hcg leves and some women's just don't get high enough to detect like others do.
So, try in a couple of days, but if you still think you are then go to the doc and get a real test. A blood test. Good luck to you!
