1st Trimester

Who has actually got a positive pregnancy test before missed period?

I have a strong feeling I’m pregnant. But my period is 5 days out. Just wondering who has actually got a positive test when testing early? With my first pregnancy I didn’t test until two weeks after I was late and still had a faint line in my positive pregnancy test. 

Re: Who has actually got a positive pregnancy test before missed period?

  • I've had 3 pregnancies (I only have 1 child) and all 3 HPT were positive before I missed my period.
    This time around, I had two days in a row where I was oddly exhausted and had no energy. I had to lie down, but did not necessarily have to sleep. That's how I knew. Tested and sure enough it was positive.

    Wishing you the very best!!
  • I tested positive before a missed period

  • I had a very, very faint positive 5 days before my missed period, getting progressively darker every day or two. Now 6 weeks! 
  • Hi! I got three positive tests 6 days before my missed period. Was super surprised!! I just knew I should test and then tested again to confirm with another manufacturer!
  • With this pregnancy, I got a positive at 3w4d
  • I also tested about 3 days before my period was meant to arrive and it was a clear positive! 
  • My first pregnancy I tested the day before my expected period and got very strong positives. This time I tested a week before my expected period since my husband told me he could smell it on my skin that I was pregnant and even though they weren’t early detection and it was the evening and not first pee of the day I still got a very faint line. I assumed that had to be an evap line because it was too early and they weren’t early detection tests. I tried again with the same tests the next day and still a very faint line. We got a digital test for the day after that (5 days before my expected period) and it said PREGNANT.
  • The earliest i've gotten a positive test digital and basic was 10dpo
  • I had a positive pregnancy five days before my missed period. I recommend using Clear Blue because it says ‘pregnant’ vs the one with just the lines. 
  • I just got a positive test yesterday and my 5 days out. I also had that gut feeling and I'm glad that I listened.
  • Me! I started getting faint lines on 10DPO, or 4-5 days before my period would be coming.
  • Faint line at 3w5d. Progressively darker over the next week. I've taken six pregnancy tests 😂 I still have one more I can take.
  • I had a pretty strong line at 3w5d and a positive digital. That being said, every body and pregnancy is different. Maybe wait til the day or two after your period is missed!
  • I also got a very obvious positive 4 days before my expected period. 
  • I had a positive 6 days before my missed period. Making this pregnancy forever long now lol
  • I was using Inito to test my hormones each morning from CD5 on, so I was VERY in tune with my body. I had a faint line at 9 DPO that got darker each day I tested. By 14 DPO (my official missed period date) I ended up getting a blood test and HCG was almost 200. So it DEFINITELY happens! 
  • I tested 5 days before my missed period and it was a very solid line! But I used an early detection pregnancy test and then confirmed the positive test a week later with my OBGYN 
  • With all my pregnancies I have tested positive at 3 weeks
  • I found out when I was 4 weeks and 4 days. I tested a few days before my missed period.

    I tested 5 days before my missed period using an early detection test and was positive! It was a solid line and I had already scheduled an appt a week later with OBGYN who confirmed I was 4 weeks pregnant!
  • With my other two I didn’t know until I was almost 12 weeks. But this time, I knew almost immediately. It was weird, and I did test positive on a test about a week from when my period was going to start. Faint lines, so I got a clear blue and it said I was 1-2 weeks! 
  • I hadn’t missed my period yet when I just got a feeling to test. There was a super faint line next to the test line and I was in disbelief. Tested again, same thing. Had my appt with the PCP the next morning, they tested twice. Positive. I was around 3.5 weeks pregnant 
  • Yes, it's possible to get a positive pregnancy test before a missed period. Some women can get a positive result as early as 10 days after ovulation, which is about four or five days before their period is due. Home pregnancy tests are becoming more sensitive, so if you test early, you might see a positive result. However, for the most accurate result, it's best to wait until the day your period is supposed to start.
  • I tested positive. I started doing a test a day 2 weeks before my missed period. So I had a lot of negatives then about 7 days before my period I saw my first faintest line. I kept testing everyday and slowly everyday the line kept getting darker. I’m 6 weeks and 2 days now
