If you are already late for your period
you should get an accurate result if you
test now.
Are you hoping for a positive or a
negative?
Good luck, keep us posted!

Yeah, I would definitely test if I were
you. You should not count that discharge
as your period. Some woman get that
discharge and it is chalked up to being
implantation bleeding. But that is not
always the case. Just trying to prepare
you.
Even though you are late already and it
really shouldn't matter. I still suggest
that when you take the test you take it
first thing in the morning with your fmu
(first morning urine). This is not
necessary. Just a suggestion.
Did you have unprotected sex?

thinkn maybe waitin a few more days to see
if i start. But yes here recently i have
had unprotected sex 2 or 3 times since my
last period.
