How long should you wait after the first day of your missed period to take a pregnancy test?


What are the signs to look for? I'm 27 yrs old and this would be my first. Although back in 2000 I had a miscarriage. I don't wanna jinx myself by getting my hopes up but i'm 5 days late. I've been married for 7 yrs and we've been trying for 3 yrs now. Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it.

You can take the pregnancy test now. Most tests are accurate as of the first day of the missed period. Good luck.
Now is always a good time
Next time you're at the store, check on the side of one of the boxes. They tell you when it's still too early. And remember to but two!!
You can take it right away. However, some tests will not work until you are about a week pregnant.

take one today!!! its perfect itme. Your first signs would be
1. NO PERIOD (check off that one lol)
2.tender breasts
3.mornign sickness (since you would be about 5 weeks pregnant)
4.womans intuition!!

Just take a urin test if its positive follow up with the doctor and a blood test good luck
Most pregnancy tests can now be done on the day you would have expected your period. I think the best thing to do is to get the double pregnancy test and do a test right away and then retest a week later to be sure. Usuallly a postive result is correct on the first test but it's wise to do a 2nd test anyway.
