Too early to test?

Hi!
I am currently 5 days overdue for my period. Last "period" was Sept. 1st and it lasted until the 4th. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks back in Feb. and my periods straightened out by May. I don't know when to test. I found out I was pregnant the first time at 4 weeks, and 5 days along, and if I tested now and it came back positive, I'd be a little over 6 weeks along.

I know that every woman and every pregnancy is different, but I do not want to waste my only test by testing too early. Any advice helps! Thanks!

I took a pregnancy test 3 days before my period and it came back negative, that's why I was wondering if it was too soon.

Some pregnancy tests can read positive before your missed period like the first response test. I would go ahead and take one :)
