Should I Believe These Results?
Posted: 03-23-05 12:18pm

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?

First response is not as accurate if done before your missed period---though it can still work, it doesnt always in each individual case
pregnancy tests as a whole do not always show a positive result if you are pregnant. A girl I know took 5 and each was negative...She went and got a blood test and she was pregnant.
So if you feel like you could be- I wouldnt take any chances and get checked by a dr just in case.

If you read the package insert it says there is a 25% (not sure of the exact #) chance of detecting pregnancy that early. The chance goes up every day.
