How long should I wait to take a pregnancy test?

I just wanted to know, if you think your pregnant before your missed period how many days before can you take a pregnancy test?

Oops sorry... read the question wrong... its most accurate if you wait until you have missed your period... but you can test up to 5 days before depending on the test... but remember the accuracy of result only gets better the longer you wait... if you were to test to early (even within those 5 days you could get a false neg)

I would wait until you missed your period... if you possibly can... or if you don't know when your period is supposed to start then 14-19 days after you think you may have conceived. Good Luck!!

Each test is different.

I recommend taking First Response when your period is due for the most accurate result. Or up to 3 days before your period if you just can't wait.
