Question: My period is two weeks late and my last cycle started in January. Read the directions on the box, but personally I’ve been able to get a positive result with these as early as five days before I’m supposed to get my period. My favorite is First Response Early Response (not the digital). If you’re anxious to find out, pick up a test that can detect pregnancy early. That’s because it takes time for pregnancy hormones to build up enough in your body to produce a positive result on the test. If you take a home pregnancy test (sometimes called an HPT) an entire week before you’re expecting your period to start, you could end up getting a test that says you’re not pregnant when you actually are. First though, you need to make sure you’re close enough to your period to get an accurate result. Question: Can you take a pregnancy test if you haven’t missed your period?Īnswer: Yes, you can take a pregnancy test even if you haven’t missed your period yet. Your stomach doesn't start feeling hard on the outside until well into the pregnancy. To the touch, it didn't feel any different than it normally would. Question: What does your stomach feel like in early pregnancy?Īnswer: For me, it felt like it was heavy and bloated - like I was going to start my period. If you haven't taken a pregnancy test already, then you could take one right now and get pretty accurate results. Is it possible that I may be pregnant?Īnswer: Yes, it's very possible that you're pregnant if you had unprotected sex while you were ovulating. I haven’t seen my period yet, but I’m supposed to see it tomorrow. Question: I had sex twice on the day of my ovulation, and I’ve been having all the pregnancy symptoms. However, since sperm live up to five days, if you were to ovulate shortly after your period ended, there's a possibility that you could become pregnant. A common misconception is that if you have intercourse during your menstrual cycle, you are less likely to get pregnant. Could I get pregnant from this?Īnswer: Yes, you could.

Question: I had unprotected sex during the end of my period. That being said, if you're scared, whether it be because you're hoping it will be positive or hoping it'll be negative, then waiting a few more days might just stress you out more! Take the test now and if the result isn't what you want it to be then that gives you more time to decide how you want to move forward.

Answer: I think that if your period is regular and you're already five days late, then you're at a good place to take a test.
