yeah but they only detect 4-5 days before your missed period

its alaywas best to wait til after a missed period to test for the most acurate results.

Kelly, it is far too early to take a test.

FYI, it is also too early for your boobs to be sore from pregnancy also. It could be pms. In fact, a very lot of early pregnancy symptoms are just like pms symptoms and symptoms aren't good to 'diagnose' pregnancy. Most symptoms do not start until a woman misses her period. For a lot of women, that is their first clue.

Wait until your period is due or late before testing. It tells you that on the box.

Good luck!

Yes....definatley wait till you miss you period. I'd hate for you to waste money when it could be avoided! It's way too early for the hormone Hcg to be present in you urine. The egg first has to implant into the uterus before any pregnancy hormone is produced! Wait, then test if you miss you period.

Good Luck!
