SHould I test for pregnancy? ?

Question

Okay my periods usually range from 27-31 days, the longest I've ever waited was 35 days (which was last month). Right now I am on day 31, and I think I am pregnant, but I am afraid to "waste" a test. Like I said my period averages from 27-31 days and i almost always get it on the 29th day. Should I test now? or wait another few days? what do you think?

Answer 1

i used to buy cheap tests off ebay they all do the same job, weather they come in fancy packages or not!!! i would test from 7dpo lol... looking back i think i was slightly obsessed but i wanted that BFP so much i was strong enough to accept all the BFN before i finally got there!!! im now 15 weeks preg after TTC for 5 years!!!

BE BRAVE & TAKE A TEST GIRL!!!! AND GOOD LUCK :) x*x

Answer 2

TEST! especially if you are trying to conceive!  there is no such thing as wasting a test... it is the only way you can find out besides a doctor or waiting until you start growing a baby in your uterus haha.  well good luck and congratulations!!!

Answer 3

I would wait for another few days. (I know the agony of waiting! I was clinically pregnant (this is an IVF pregnancy), but the test was still negative). Although most home pregnancy tests can detect HCG (pregnancy hormone) early, the level of HCG has to reach a certain level before it can be detected in either a urine home test or by a blood test. If you are trying to conceive then im sure you have already started to take vitamins, minerals etc. So waiting for another few days to really make sure you have a positive test would be agony, but well worth your wait! Goodluck

Answer 4

If you don't want to waste a test, supposedly you should wait about a week.

"Many home pregnancy tests (HPTs) claim to be 99% accurate on the day you miss your period. But research suggests that most HPTs do not consistently spot pregnancy that early. And when they do, the results are often so faint they are misunderstood. If you can wait one week after your missed period, most home pregnancy tests will give you an accurate answer. Ask your doctor for a more sensitive test if you need to know earlier."

Answer 5

I would get tested now. It's better to get tested sooner.

Answer 6

Test now and then test again in a weeks time. I got neg on my first test but was positive on my second! Best of luck xx

Answer 7

Are you married? if not spend the few dollars that reduces the stress that you are experiencing. Second never have unprotected s*x unless you are married then you don't have to worry about it. You are stressing yourself out by not having protected s*x! Duh!

Answer 8

I would test now. It should show up now.

Got nothing to loss.

Good luck

Let us know how you go

Answer 9

Get the test. So me and my ex long ago had many of these scares because we were stupid and did not wear protection. When you start scaring yourself into thinking you are pregnant, it is very normal for the body to react in a similar fashion, and actually delaying your period even longer.

Get tested now for peace of mind. Its only 15 bucks, and if in ten days you dont get it, take another test. peace of mind is always worth the money.
