What to do

If youre having what could be early pregnancy symptoms but your period isnt late yet, you may be wondering when you should take a pregnancy test. Early symptoms, no matter how many and how strong they are, dont always mean that you will get a positive result even if you are pregnant. Most home tests on the market these days are very sensitive, but the closer you are to having a late period, the more accurate the test will be. Its best to wait until your period is late before testing, but if you are anxious to take a test you may be able to get a positive as early as 4 to 5 days before a missed period, depending on what test you take.
