I took a pregnancy test 5 days before my missed period and i got a faint line so they can pick up pregnancy early sometimes. I used a first response, they are very sensitive. But like anistacia said sometimes its best to wait until you miss your period then test.
"Your Fertility Cycle - A Time to Embrace
Thanks to medical science, we know more about fertility cycles than ever before. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) conducted a study that showed that women’s cycle of fertility is six days long: the five days before ovulation and ovulation day itself.
Planning your pregnancy means making sure sperm is available when your egg is ready for fertilization during your monthly cycle."
they say five days before...so...i was deffinately in that time frame
aw doll- I am in a similar boat!!! Except I am definitely pregnant and due next month. My new husband, just married, isnt even allowed to work here cause he is from another country! And I am about to quit my slave work of $10 an hour. I am also 21. Its sooo stressful. I am so worried about the economy and truely have no idea how I will survive. I am going to try to get welfare until i can work again. I am very sad, I wish I could just stay home with the baby forever....but unfortunately i will probably have to return to work soon after i have the baby.
economy sucks right now. no reason i should only be making 10 an hour as well. And we do live alone and have to pay 800 a month rent- so my entire months pay is like the cost of my rent and two utility bills. It really really sucks- im at a loss for what to do. my husband isnt really comforting either- i know he is freaked out- but i am extremely freaked and need some comfort! He also doesn't understand being emotional while pregnant- he has not been more sensitive or anything during my pregnancy- still a jerk and only concerned about his own ego- its pathetic really. Life is so freaking hard right now and Im stressin every moment and I pray i am not affecting the baby.
the only way i calm myself is knowing that even though things may get rough- we will still survive somehow some way.
