Q: How Early Can You Take a Preg Test?

Its been 2 weeks exactly since ive had sex. My period is due any day but I havent had any of the normal symptoms I usually get right before a period. So my question is, how early can you take a home pregnancy test? And how much does one cost?

You can take the first response test up to 4 days before your period is due. If you take it and its negative and you still don't have your period wait a week and take another one. Good luck.

U can take a test just after a couple days you've had sex. And they cost like $3-4. Its not that expencive. Thats how I found out I was pregnant, and now im 5 months with my first lil boy!!

People make mistakes.

And, the test came out negative... But I still havent gotten my period. So I might take another test if I dont start by next thursday.

I would definitely do that. I was a week late and took one, but the week before I was supposed to start it was negative...It just took a while for it to show up in my urine!

It really depends on the type of test.. Most test require you to have a missed period.. But I used first response and took it 2 days before a missed period and got a positive with both pregnancies... Good luck!!
