Answer 1

Sounds like your body hasn't had the opportunity to go full cycle.  I know what its like to be so anxious...the first month we actually tried to conceive I bought 8 pregnancy tests because I started testing too soon.  All I did was get frusterated and weepy...I actually made myself feel like I was pregnant from thinking about it too much.  Go with the flow if it happens it happens.  I would give it another week...if you don't start you could always test to ease your uncertainty.

Answer 2

most pregnancy tests nowadays say that they can determine pregnancy before you even miss a period.  First Response says their test can detect the pregnancy hormone (hCG) at least five days before a missed period.

i have always used this brand and have always had an accurate result.  consumer reports even rates it as the best pregnancy test.  and it is reasonably priced.  i usually get a 2 pack that offers a third free test for about $13.

also, your first morning urine is the best time to take a test as the pregnancy hormone is usually at its highest concentration.

Wait to see if your period comes, if it doesn't come the day you expect it, take a test the next day. Testing too soon will just give you negative which you don't want to see. Been there, done that. Best of luck
