A member asked:
My last menses was on 16/7. my expected period is on 13/8. but till today i don't hv any pms. can i tk a test nw or wait till i miss my period?

Best to wait: There is no real benefit to testing early, and some harm involved. Early testing has a higher false negative rate, which just means the test has to be done again anyhow. Recommend not testing until after a period is missed.
