If you pee on a stick 7 days before your missed period but the test says it only reads 5 days will it work..?

Question

so i have been having really bad cramps and tender nipples so i couldnt wait so i took it 7 days before and it was negative can it read more than 5 days?

Answer 1

nope 7 days is way too soon..a lot of time 5 days doesnt even work. i would wait until u miss a period and then test.

Answer 2

They rarely ever even give a positive at 5 days before.  Most woman are atleast due for their period before they can get a positive on any HPT.  The OBGYN told me that he has had only 1 woman in the last I think he said 5 years that actually got a positive 5 days early, the others that said they tested that early got negatives then got a positive a week or so later.  

Answer 3

It's way to soon!!! I took a pregnancy test when i was about 3 days LATE and got a Negative, then I waited like a week a tested again and then I got a positive.  You have to wait at least till the day you are due for your period so that if you are pregnant the pregnancy hormone has time to build up, and its best to use your first morning urine.  When I tested with the morning urine I got like a really dark positive line, and then I also tested in the afternoon and the line was very faint, and I was a week late when I did this.

Don't worry thou you might be pregnant if you have all those symptoms, but its just too early to get a positive.

Wish you the best and a BFP!!

by the way I used the First Response hpt, it's said to be the most sensitive.

Answer 4

It depends on how sensitive the test is and how much hCG your body has produced if you are pregnant.  The test manufacturers give you those guidelines based on the testing that is done before the product is made available for sale.  If they test 100 samples and get accurate results on the majority of them at 5 days, but not at 7 days then they know how to market the test and what to include in the instructions.

If your AF doesn't start soon, take another test.  I think you probably tested too earlier.
