Q: Best Time to Test?

I am now 3 days late for my period and i'm wondering when the best time to take a test would be? Should I wait a few more days? Or another week or so? Would it show up this soon? Thanks.

Go ahead and take it.

Get a pregnancy test that's called "4 days sooner"

i already bought a first response two pack. I took the first test 4 days ago, but saved one just in case. The first one came up negative, so maybe it was too soon? I'm planning on testing tomorrow morning, since I heard morning was the best time. Don't know what's up if it comes up nagative again though.

If it comes up negative then you probably aren't, maybe your periods are just out of wack.

I remember when I got my pregnancy test back, there was a dark line and a faint line then I waited 3 days, took it again and the 2 lines were really dark.

It's true about the morning thing!

well, ya go ahead if your heart desires but theres always that chance that home pt/s arnt correct. I found out when I went to the doctor for a bladder infection (i was planning on taking one soon anyways cus I had a strong feeling) I was already a lil more than a month preg.
I would suggest taking one like 2 wks after ur missed period

I really dont know what to think anymore. I had a couple symptoms of early pregnancy a week ago. Just headaches, tiredness, lower back pains. I haven't had any signs what so ever of pms. I usually hurt really bad up top :oops: but not so much as a little pain so far and also, about a week before my period, I get really health forum...I mean really bad...But so far, nothing, i've been unusually happy and that never happens. So, I really don't know what's up. I'll keep you posted though. Thanks. :)

Update After Testing
I am now 4 days late for my period. I took a first response test when I woke up today and it came up negative. I'm so confused now. Any ideas?

well, it's more than likely correct but.....Who knows if the first response thing or the early preg tests work right all the time... Its only been acouple days so like I said I would wait for at least another week to take another one........
