A member asked:

I have ovulated early , on cycle day 9 or 10 . does this mean i should test for pregnancy early ? or wait until my expected period day ?

Either one: The most economical and most accurate thing to do its to wait and see if you miss your period. If you do then check a home pregnancy test.
