Pregnancy Test

Hi J.,
The answer to your question depends on your pregnancy test. The following website explains what I am talking about, http://www.sisterzeus.com/preg_test.html
Please note that there is a link of another site at the bottom of the page that links you to another we site that gives further information on the subject.
I wish you well, take care,

J.,
From my experience I took the First response 5 day sooner test and got a false negative result. 2 days latter took EPT and got a positive result. Make sure that if you test negative that you act like you are pregnant at least for a week and re test one week after the first test. Or every 2 days if you can afford it. You may have gotten a false negative because you hcg levels are not high enough.
Good Luck!!!!

You can get a blood test that will measure hcg in your blood much earlier then a urine test. You can take the early response tests but they might not capture a pregnancy earlier then 4 weeks.

Good luck with whatever you are hoping for!

With my second son I took my pregnancy test two weeks after he was conceived. My 3 tests that I took all came out positive, the doctors 2 tests that he took came out negitive, but after a couple of hours showed positive. My doctor told me that if you are having the symptoms of being pregnant then a pregnancy test should be able to pick up the hormone that shows you are pregnant. But, I think that everyone is different when it comes to that. But, in my opinion you can take a pregnancy test a lot sooner that just 5 days before your monthly cycle.

J., I think it's different for everyone. I do know that the pregnancy tests at Dollar Tree are the most sensitive.

I battled with infertility so I had done a lot of research on different tests & how soon they would pick up on the pregnancy hormone. I couldn't believe that their brand was the most sensitive but it is. And, I got the positive result from it that I wanted. :)

I hope you get the outcome you want.

14 days after you ovulate. However, I did not test positive until another week. But usually it's 14 days

"First Response" worked for me the First Day I missed my cycle.

I am not positive but I think 14 to 28 days after "THE" night. God bless and all the best to you.
