Right time to test

I was just wondering hOw many days late after an expected menstral period should I test? I am three days late, is this too early? Will I get a false negative if I test this early?

Hi ladies,
I had an ultrasound on Tuesday for a totally different matter, i was cleared of cyst's ect... In my uterus there is a dark circle with a small white dot inside... The ultrasound tech asked me if I had taken a preg test recently... I said no, I've showed a few people whom have said I'm pregnant... I was wondering what you think?

The app is good but the test strips are better.  Your could ovulate late or early depending on your body.   If you have PCOS like your mum then you could not be ovulating at all.

Thanks lady's for your help, according to the app I ovulate between the 11th and the 16th, with the 14th being the highest day, my mum informed me that she has polysistic ovarie syndrome, she has 3 boys + me, maybe I should get tested for this also to see if this is hindering my chances. My partner and I have been talking and have decided that we are going to try and concieve as of this month, I'll be patient I guess and not run to the store every month and buy numerous tests, I'll wait a week after expected AF instead ov obsessing over it lol

Make sure ur trying when ur going to ovulate, its best every 48hrs. Use the app n c when ur highest fertility is. Its normal to take awhile to concieve for some. But if u think u cant wait speak to ur obgyn

Well it turns out my periods make me out to be a liar lol I got them yesterday so bummed... I guess that's what i get for getting my hopes up. But I am starting to wonder though, as I've been off the pill for about a year now, and even though me n my partner are not ttc, I thought I would of fell by now? Am I just being paranoid or should I gO and see a dr

I did mines 3days late, most likely 99% accuracy unless u r like a few woman who r pregnant n their hcg levels dont pick up on test early. If not do a blood test. I always used generic walmart brand wked perfect for me:)

This isn't too early.  Get a sensitive test (even the ones from the Dollar Store are pretty sensitive) and follow the instructions about using first-morning urine.
