Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise waiting until your period is late before taking a pregnancy test.  This approach saves a lot of money.  If your cycles are irregular it becomes a bit harder.  If they are irregular though, you may need to see your doctor for help conceiving more quickly--otherwise it can take quite some time.
Good luck!

Hi,
Yes your symptoms sound promising. . I would take a test but in order to avoid taking it too soon and getting wrong negative and getting disappointed,  I'll take it earliest just couple of days before your periods are due.
