How soon is too soon to take a pregnancy test? I had my last period almost 3 weeks ago but I am feeling like I could be pregnant. Is that even possible so soon!? This would be my second....
Wait until your period is due to avoid wasting money. I did get a positive 2 days before mine was due this time....but I took one at 3 and 4 and 5 days before -- what a waste of money :P I know it is hard to wait but those things are so darn expensive.
Best wishes!
if you google buying pregnancy tests, they sell them at the $1 store and they are just as effective as the EPT's (like99% or something) and they are only $1...you can buy 7 and take one every day :):) Good luck...Here is the article I read about it

Wait until you've actually missed a period. Most tests have a "reliability" factor on the back, so look for one that is accurate immediately after a missed period.
if you use a First Response Early Pregnancy test (the pink ones) you can test as early at 10 days after you ovulate (which, unless you are VERY regular or used an ovulation predictor test, would be more or less guesswork). If you're pretty regular, this brand of test can often show a positive up to 4 days before your next period is due...BUT that said, you could have easily ovulated later than expected and you might not show a + on a test for another week.
