A member asked:

My period finished a day early, can that mean that im pregnant? when is the best time to take a home pregnancy test?

Possibly: Periods are inherently irregular, but pregnancy is always a possibility. Home pregnancy tests are accurate, reliable and valid. They should be done when you are about one week late.

Not likely: if it was actually a period. Test if you miss your period.
