To Test or Not To Test!

How long did you ladies wait to take a pregnancy & did any of you get a false negative for testing too early? I'm a few days late & I keep struggling back & forth about whether or not I should just take the test. I just don't wanna be disappointed.

I usually have pre menstrual cramps before my period and I had them for about 2 weeks and I was like oh god I know I'm not going to be cramping for two weeks and not see my period So that's what brought me to take the test I was exactly 4 weeks and 3 days pregnant when I found out

I took my first test at a week late and it was negative. I took the second test at 2.5 weeks late again negative. Took the third test at 3 weeks late and it was positive. Idk why it took so long but here I am almost 6 months along now

My periods have always been regular and always on time so I took my test when I was three days late, positive result was instant. Good luck :)

I waited till I was a day late. I had gastric sleeve surgery 2 yrs ago and have been regular since. Seeing as I did not start on the exact date I kinda already knew.

Im in such fear of being disappointed, maybe I'm stressing myself out over nothing. I guess I'll just take the test, if I'm not pregnant that won't change in a few days.

Only been pregnant twice and both times I took the test on the 29th day, my cycles were never longer than 28 days, so both times it was clear as day positive.

I tested early and got a positive at 3w4d with a dollar store test. This is my fifth pregnancy, hopefully second baby, and I've never found out later than 4w3d. If you're pregnant and you're late, a test should give an accurate result.

I took my pregnancy test about 5 days before I expected my period and was positive. Before that, I tested the day before my period or days into being late and was negative..but I was actually not pregnant those months...keep testing. good luck!
