Home pregnancy test: Hi, some HPT are designed even to check the pregnancy 3-4 days before the next period even, you can test now if negative then repeat in a wk. Good luck.

The later the: more likely you are to get a +. If using a standard home pregnancy test - most women wait until they miss a period or after that.
