Pregnancy test before missed period

Most women decide to take a pregnancy test when their period’s missing, but there are also many of them who are too anxious to wait and want to take a pregnancy test before a missed period. In other words, they don’t believe in the accuracy of the pregnancy’s signs anymore and they choose to find out the truth by other methods. There are two ways to detect a pregnancy: clinic tests and home ones, but due to their advantages – the most chosen ones are home tests: they are cheaper and they allow women to find out if they are pregnant or not in the privacy of their own homes.
As you probably know, home tests’ instructions indicate you to take it the day you have missed your period; but what if you don’t have any missed period and you simply want to find out earlier, without expecting it? That’s why one of the most frequent women’s questions is: “which is the proper moment to take a pregnancy test before missed period?”.
First of all, you could follow the doctors’ recommendation and take it two weeks after ovulation (which means two weeks after the moment you think you have conceived), but for most women this is a long waiting time and they could already have a missed period until then. So for most of them the question would be: “which is the earliest moment to take a pregnancy test before a missed period?”.
There isn’t a fixed date, generally accepted, regarding the earliest day to take a pregnancy test because every woman’s body is different and acts differently. To better understand which this moment could be, you should know how these home tests work, which is very simple: they have to detect the presence and levels of the pregnancy hormone in a woman’s body, hormone which appears in her body of course only when she gets pregnant. But you have to know that it’s produced by the placenta only after the implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterine wall, implantation which does not occur until 6 days after ovulation. Therefore, as this hormone is not in your body in those 6 days, it’s useless to take a pregnancy test because it will surely give you a negative result, which could be a false one.
As a conclusion, you can get an accurate result even though you are taking the pregnancy test before a missed period. The earliest moment you can take it is the 7′th day after the moment you think you have conceived, but this is not a rule; an actual rule could be: the more accurate you want the result the later you should take the test.

Me and my boyf TTC on the 15th and 19th February. I did ovulation tests and guessing I ovulated on the 17th, as on the 19th the line was paler so was definitely either the 17th or 18th. So it’s 10 DPO now. Should I wait until when I believe my period should next start? (around 4th march)? did a test today, thought I saw a line but believe I just WANTED to see one so. And as it’s only 10 DPO I’m maybe not giving myself enough time to possibly get a positive?
Congrats gabby and karen, i loved reading your posts it’s so sweet and inspirational!
I hope I can test again by march 5th and get an answer I want. Gonna be gutted if im still negative =-[
BTW my last period was 5th-8th February
So, my husband and I are trying for baby number 2… my last period was Feb. 4th I should have already had my period start but it’s been about 4 days late. I took a test today but it was negitave and I took a test on Sunday and it was also negitave. I have been having a lot of symptoms.. always tired, my breast have been killing me, can’t take a lot of smells lately, very emotional one min. i am crying the next i don’t want anything to do with anyone… and a few more. should I want a few more days to test again? I have no clue what is going on!
Hello,I’m Brittany. I am on loestrin lo birth control and I started taking my four brown Wednesday March 3rd. I only cramped up until Tuesday March 9th when I used the restroom and wiped there was some pinkish blood and that’s all and it was just that one time. But Monday I picked up a hpt from dollar general and it was negative. My symptoms are weird emotions very wacky emotions,food cravings,swollen breast,feeling faint on and off cramping. Mild nausea. Could I be pregnant?
Brittany–not sure if I can answery our question, but I am going through something very similiar. I am loestrin lo as well. Here is my situation. I started my period a week early (before I was scheduled) to be on the dark (sugar) pills. But I continued to take the active ones. By the time I was finished with my period, I was still taking the active pills. After my period stopped, I was on the inactive pills. My husband and I had sex pretty much all weekend, while I was on the inactive pills, not thinking too much about it. A few days later, I started having cramps, sore breast, and really nauseous. So I immediately stop taking the birth control because i thought maybe i could be pregnant. I think a week before, when i was on my period (while still on the active pills) I missed a day, but took it the next day.
A few days after I stopped the pill, I started spotting, it will only lasted a day. I still feel sick, cramping pretty bad and my breats are pretty sore. I took a hpt and one came out negative w/ a very faint line that might be positive, then another was negative. I don’t think i’m due for a period for about 1.5 weeks.
I’m so confused.. any thoughts anyone?
Also, if I had missed a pill while on my period, being on the white pill.. could that have caused me to ovulate or since my period and the pills were not in sync, could i have ovulated a week after i had my period when i was on the green inactive pills?
I think i’m pregnant and the day I believe I conceived is April 6th. It’s been 13 days and I took a pregnancy test today but got a negative result. Do you think I could still be pregnant. My husband and I are trying and we want a baby so bad. The waiting is killing me and I’m scared that I’m gonna find out i’m not pregnant yet again. Is there a chance that i’m pregnant even though 13 days have already passed?
i think i might be pregnant but im not completely sure. i was off on taking some of my pills this month and my boyfriend qand i had unprotected sex using the withdrawl method about a week and a half before my period. im now five days late for my period and i took 2 pregnancy test both came out negative. is there a chance i could still be pregnant at all?
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for only two months now. I was experiencing some s/s of pregnancy such as implantation bleeding (8 days following ovulation), really bad heartburn and nausea following meals, elevated temperature, headaches and mood swings. I tested six days before my period was supposed to come using two different tests, one was digital. They both came back positive : ) Should I wait until after the day I should have started my period before contacting my doctor or could i go ahead and get the testing done now with him?
I got off the pill last month… A few days before we took our Honeymoon to Hawaii. I was very fertile the whole time we were there. We had sex everyday. A few days later I had cramping and when we returned, I almost fainted in the shower and threw up. I took a test yesterday and it was negative. My period is suppose to come tomorrow or Thursday. Is there a chance I could still be pregnant?

LISA,
HI, MY HUSBAND AND I ARE TRYING TO HAVE A BABY. MY FIRST DAY OF OVULATION WAS ON MAY 9 (MOTHERS DAY) AND MY LAST DAY OF INTERCOURSE. 3-5 DAYS AFTER I NOTICED I WAS GETTING CRAMPS. I HAVE ALSO BEEN GETTING A LOT OF DISCHARGE AND ITS THICK. I WENT TO MY DOCTOR TODAY ( MAY 18) AND THEY DID A URING TEST AND IT CAME BACK NEGATIVE. I AM 5 DAYS AWAY FROM MY EXPECTED PERIOD. IS THERE A CHANCE THAT THE TEST MAY NOT BE ACCURATE AND WHEN SHOULD I RE TEST?
My last period started april the 30th. Well it’s 6 days before my missed period and We (my husband and I) can’t take it anymore! My breast are very sore and swollen, nausea, and low sex drive. Do we have a shot of getting our wish? Is it really to early to test??
Ok, i have ben off and on spotting with brown discharge for almost a week. I looked it up and they said it could be implantation bleeding, i know my period should be coming up but ive never kept track of it and my husband and i were not trying to get pregnant. I also have diabetes so i just learned the health isks which is why i need to find out sooner than later. so my question is if i do have implantation bleeding, how long do i wait to test?plz help
oh and i also have breast tenderness, headaches, and nausea. i felt a lil lightheaded yesterday but only twice.
I would not suggest taking a hpt until after you have missed a period. I just took one today because I have been feeling very nauseous, light headed, major cramping. The test came out negative and it is 7 days before I should get my period. I am not sure what I am feeling but it isn’t normal. I’m not sure if it’s the side effects of stopping the pill or if I really could be pregnant. Any advice??
HI! my last period started on April 21 and I have always have a normal cycle of 28 days (+ or – 1 or 2 days) I had intercourse with my husband on May 9, now it is may 26 and I have not gotten my period. My period was due about may 21 to 23. I’ve taken two test (digital ones too) and I’ve gotten negative results but I still don’t have my period. I should mention that I’ve never had a delay in my period before, so what should I do?
ps. I have been very worried lately and stress out, would that be the reason for not getting my period?
Hi,
I am suffering from PCOS and have been trying to concieve from March..I took a 50 mg dose of clomid from day 2 till day 5 of my periods..my periods started on 1 may and we had intercourse from the 9th till the 12th of May i.e the 9th n 12th day of my periods…and on the 17th of may i felt pain in the abdominal area and my husband said that it might be due to ovulation…and then from the 22nd day till today my stomach is bloated, i have started urinating even more cant even sleep properly because of this..and cramps in the abdominal area mainly on the right side…can i be pregnant by any chance?
The first day of my last period was the 11th of May. I had intercourse the 24th. My Cycle is about 28. I have a dull pain in my lower back and cramps on and off. Can I already take a pregnancy test?
hi my last period started on may 12 and i have my cycle of 30 days and i have intercourse with my husband in my ovulation day after day and now i feel pain in my back and my head all the time .may i pregnant ?there are 10 days before my next period.
I’m not supposed to start my period until tomorrow or the day after that. I thought I was pregnant so I was told to take a pregnancy test first thing in the morning. I took a digital test and it said “pregnant”. Well my husband wanted to make sure so a couple hours later I took another test and it said “not pregnant”. Is it possible that the not pregnant test was wrong or was it wrong that it came out saying I was pregnant? Should I wait a few days to take another test?
Michelle my dear, you can be pregnant as the hormone is at its highest in the morning when you take the test but can be reduced later, I think you should wait 2-3 days and then redo the test again.
Hi I did an early pg test 4 days before my period was due. It showed a positive it was a clearblue digital. Then 2 days later i started having cramps and spotting and took my period with more than usual heavy cramping. I assumed i had an early miscarriage – that evening i took a tesco test and it said negative the next day in the morning ( 4 days after digital test) the tesco said positive. I assumed due to hormones still present and easy to dectect first thing. One week later i took a tesco pg test in the evening and it is still showing a positive result – i find this confusing -why did the tesco test the week before in the evening show a negative and now its positive – especially as the hcg should now be decreasing? could i still be pg?
So remember that it’s the plecenta that makes hgc not the baby. I had a blighted ovum last year – or a missed misscarage, they couldn’t quite decide. I had a positive home test in feb 09 and went on to ultrasounds in March and April that showed the baby didn’t grow, but that plecenta churned out hgc until the end of July! So I felt and tested pregnant for 6 months. My hgc level kept going up, but it wasn’t doubling as it should. You really should get a set of bloodtests to measure hgc 24/48/or72 hours apart-whatever the OBGYN recomendation is, to see if your pregnancy is progressing normally. I found out during my miscarrage I was also rh negative – I thought I was 0+ but was 0- and needed rogam shots to protect future babies so if you think you might be experiencing a misscarage my advice ladies is to make sure you know your blood type and when in doubt call your doctor! No insurance? Planned parenthood is an amazing resourses for testing and low/no cost prenatal care. Good luck ladies!
Also Mary – make sure your watching out for any signs that may suggest a possible tubal pregnancy and get to the doctor or even ER fast if you do suspect a chance of that. It’s always better to play it safe when it comes to something that could risk future fertity or even your life. Good luck.
In April, I started my period on the 30th and it ended May 5th. I had sex like 3-4x a day from the 6th-17. Pull out method was used, but I know I know, it’s not 100% bc. I started my period May 30th, but it was a little weird for me. There was no clotting, but the blood was still bright red. 2 days into, it would just spot. I only had to use 3 tampons throughout the whole thing.. It ended June 3rd. Problem is, I was nauseous for a week, and still am. I lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. The smell of food makes me want to vomit and my lower back still hurts and I still have dull/mild cramps. I took a blood pt this June, but it was negative. Could implantation have occurred/and or ended a few days before my period and my period start anyway…Is there anyway to tell, except to wait until my next period?? Or could it all be stress related? Ive slowly started eating again, however, I started dischaging what seems to be ovulation last week, but that’s a little early for me since it woulda been 3 wks before my period. As of the 15th, I’m still crampy and queasy with a sore lower back…I’m always tired..I have a milky like discharge that comes and goes…sometimes can’t tell, unless I put my finger up..TMI, Im sorry…Im due for my period in 2 weeks, on the 30th, but seriously, I feel like I’m already starting it…Help? Maybe?
Hi
I am due for my period on the 27th June.
I went off the pill in April and have had 2 periods since then…I was exactly 2 weeks between by last period and the one due 27th June…Which was Monday (4 days ago) I had some slight spotting of a brown then really light colour of pink blood (only when i wiped) Yesterday i woke up feeling rather nautious and it lasted most the day…Today I have been off an on with nautious feeling…..I have been feeling slightly lightly headed and more frequent urination has occured. Me and my fiancee have been TTC (hence going off the pill) Would it be too early to test for pregnancy because i’m not due for another 9 days…Or is it ok to test now?
Please reply

Is nine days before your period to early to get a positive test because I went to the er and they told me I was negative so I made a apt to see my doctor monday which is 4 days before my period is due so do you think it was to early to test and I feel sick
Hi. My lmp was June 21 and I took a hpt on the 7th. It was negative. Do you think it was too early to take the test? Or maybe I still have a chance to be pregnant. My period is not due until July 14th
I heard that if you take a pregnancy test, and have a type of STD or infection around your “area”, that it could set off a pregnancy test and sometimes come out positive, even when it’s not… or something like that…

I’m TTC I had a regular 28 day cycle May and June. And have been very active with my husband. I’ve been feeling nausea, tiredness, light cramping not strong like my usual menstrual, and very bloaded. I took a home preg test last week and it was negative. I’m now 2 days away from my period. Should I take one now or wait a couple of days after I’m suppose to get my period????

Hi! Just wanted to leave a comment (and my experience) about “early” testing with HPT. My last period was 6/30 and started to have some odd symptoms about a week ago…being really thirsty and then of course running to bathroom a lot, graving sweets etc. I really thought Im pre-diabetic or something, til after one night constantly running to fridge and ending up of eating a half of a watermelon!!!!!! Was really wondering about it and then remembered that that was exactly what i did when i got pregnant with my daughter…. Ran to a store to get HPT (eventhough my period wasn’t due for another 6 days) and peed on a stick right then at night, cause i just couldn’t wait til morning…and sure enough it was positive!!! Weird…just like with my daughter, I was able to see positive in HPT a week before I missed my period…..
i got my period on june 26 and it lasted four days and on july 14 i had some brown spotting and my period was two days late and now my period is very light any suggestions
are pregnancy tests accurate if they have been in the sun for weeks?
My last period was on the 30th of June, it lasted up to 5 days, which is normal for me. My next period was suppose to come on the 28th of July, but it never came. I am now 6 days late. I feel bloated and look it too. Yesterday my mother and her boyfriend commented on how often I had ate during that day. My breasts feel slightly tender, so I bought pregnancy tests today and plan on taking on in the morning. I haven’t experienced implantation spotting, but have had slight cramps and pressure as if I’m going to start my period soon. If anyone could help at all, I’d be soo thankful!!
My last period was July 9th we had unprotected sex on July 23rd,24th and 25th i took an ovulation test on the 25th and it came back definitely positive. On the 28th i started having early pregnancy symptoms. I have had tender breasts nausea, dizziness, major cramping. Now yesterday i saw some spotting(very little) I took a early detection pregnancy test yesterday which claims to be 68% accurate and it came back negative. Symptoms are continuing on a daily basis and my period should start in around 4/5 days. When should i take the next test?
Hello ladies! I have had 2 miscarriages in February and April 2010…we waited a while and decided to try again in July. I have a 35 day cycle so we worked out when I am most fertile and had lots of sex. My period is due on 9th August but on monday my boobs hurt and I was really tired, so I did a test and it said that I was pregnant and conceived 1-2 weeks ago. However I have had some red blood today, not pouring just when i wipe (sorry too much info), I’m hoping it might be implantation bleeding but I fear the worst : ((. Has anyone else had anything similar? Also worth mentioning I am 38 (but fit and healthy).
I suffered from a miscarriage early March being 3 months pregnant. My doctor suggested we wait at least 3 months before trying again. My last period was July 13th. I calculated my ovulation to be the 26 so my husband and I had sex on and around that time. 4 days after my breasts started feeling tender and I had cramping. Since then my breasts are full, huge, and sore, I have had cramping on and off. I am extremely tired all the time. I have had a hot flash, migraine, and threw up about 7 days after. I have felt sick in the morning and during the day, but no throwing up. Dull back pains. I took a test this morning – 6 days before my period is due. It came back “Not Pregnant”. I have decided to wait until my period is due and see if I miss it, I am pretty regular. I have only had these symptoms when pregnant before. My husband and I are trying for our first baby. I just wanted to share my symptoms and my story. I will let everyone know the out come once I know. Good Luck Ladies and Baby Dust to Everyone!!!!!
I’m 8 days late and I’m never late except when i was pregnant with my two children. I’ve had cramping a few days ago, tender breast and nausea. I’ve taken several pregnancy test and all negitive. It’s it too early to tell or what? I’m almost positive I’m pregnant. I’ve been through pregnancy twice already.
Emily,
I think you should try a digital pregnancy test for more accuracy. Or read about the best timing of taking a pregnancy test here:
