you can take a first response test up to five days before your missed period.......It still may not give you accurate results though.

if its only been 3 days since you had sex, then you have to wait......Normally implantation takes between 6-14 days, its only after implantation that hcg is produced (this is the hormone that is dected in pregnancy tests) so basically you will have to wait to take a test....For at least 7 more days.

3 days since what, having sex? That's waaaaay too early to test. The sperm would barely have time to reach your egg (if it's even been released yet), much less for the egg to reach your uterus and implant.

I know waiting drives you crazy. I went through the same thing. But testing now will only give you a negative result, whether you're truly pregnant or not, and you'll end up having to test again anyway. I know it's hard, but you're going to need to wait a couple of weeks. Give your body time to build up the pregnancy hormones that the test detects.

It all depends when you ovulate. If you have just ovulated and then concieved it will take normally anywhere between 6-12 days for implantation. The average woman implants on day 9 . You have to test when your period is just about due ...If you dont know because you are irregular your gonna have to wait until the longets cycle youve had thus far.
