How many tested BEFORE your missed period...? Answers pleaseee!?

Question

So, I really think that I AM pregnant, but all the tests say no. The problem is that it is still a day before my period would start. With my last pregnancy, I was about 7 weeks along before I even took a test, so of course that came out positive. How many have taken tests before their missed periods and got an accurate result? How many have done this and gotten a negative result when you were actually pregnant? I reallllllly think that I am (CRAZY nauseous for the last week and a half, swollen b***s, a bit bloated, badddd cramping) because my husband and I had unprotected s*x 2-3 times during the first week of my active pills (although I missed that whole first week) and I'm thinking that it's just too early to test. What do you all think? BTW, another baby would be amazing, so no immature answers about using protection, etc. I'm an educated married adult capable of making my own decisions, lol. Just curious as to others experiences with testing and accuracy. Thanks so much!

Answer 1

I tested 5 days before my missed period and got a positive accurate result. Though not all women produce this much hCG.

I would say that if you are having 'badddd cramping' then you are probably experiencing PMS and not pregnancy, as bad cramping is not a sign of pregnancy.

Answer 2

I remember testing 4 or 5 days before my missed period last year!  

Answer 3

I tested 8 days after ovulation, which was 6 days before my period and got a positive.  I was pregnant with twins, it turns out, so my HCG levels rose pretty fast this time around.

Answer 4

i tested on friday night ,12 days after ovulation and got a positive,but everyone is different.some have to wait weeks after af is due to get a positive.if af is a no show then get a blood one done

Answer 5

I waited until I missed my period until I took a test I was on vacation with the in-laws, so I had to wait. But Other times before that I wanted to be pregnant SO badly that I felt like I had the signs and symptoms to where I thought I was pregnant and spent so much money on tests to where if I just waited until I missed my period I would have been a lot better even emotionally too.

Answer 6

I found out last week that I'm expecting #4. I took a test 2 days before my period was due and it came back negative. I then took one the day my period was due and it came back positive. Took 2 more just to be sure and both of them came back positive too.

I know people say that early pregnancy signs are similar too pms signs but surely you know by now how you feel just before you're period.  

Answer 7

I tested ONE day before my missed period with a First Response test and my test still came out negative, so I waited and tested again the following week because I didn't get my period and got a very faint positive. I then went and had a blood test done and I was in fact pregnant!!

Answer 8

I tested a week after conception and got two positives with first response.

Answer 9

I tested 5 days before my period and got a positive but lost it,i tested the following mth 3 days before my due period and got another positive but lost that 1 as well everyone is differnt maybe ur not producing enough HCG level in ur urine or ur period is coming.
