You can test: You can test if you like. If your period came at the correct time then most likely you just had a light period. Anytime you think you are pregnant it is certainly acceptable to take a home test. Consider starting birth control to prevent until you are ready

The pregnancy test only showed positive with my 4th baby on the date my period was due. My 3 other kids I would take tests and get strong positives 3 days before my period was due. Is there a specific reasoning this one is different?
