I tested on Monday Sept 2nd and got a negative. Then I tested on Sunday the 8th and got a positive. The first day of my last period was Aug 13, so I was expecting my period on/around the 13th.
I tested when I was about 2 days late. I actually thought it would be negative, because I had pretty bad "PMS" symptoms (which I guess were actually my first pregnancy symptoms). I didn't believe it, so I tested again about a week later and it was definitely positive. However, I did use the early detection test.
Re: How long to wait
DS= 4 days before my supposed period was to start.
When in doubt take an HPT.
- Use Pink Dye
- Read the directions
- Follow the directions
- don't look at the test after the time limit has elapsed.
Good luck. You don't need to waste a co-pay, or your doctor's time until you reach 60 days (medical standard) without a positive HPT or your period.
