Could I know now

[rockinwife]

Me and my husband decided to start trying to have a baby.  From the night we talked about it til now we have had sex 8 times out of 7 days.  All unprotected of course.  I shouldnt have my period for another 2 weeks.  I was wondering how soon can I know if Im pregnant?

Hi!  I'll bet YOUR husband is a happy clam!  First Response and Clear Blue tests supposedly turn positive up to 4-5 days BEFORE the missed period.  Most other tests turn around the time of the missed period or within a week thereafter.

Don't be disappointed if it doesn't happen on the first try--it can take up to a year for a healthy couple to conceive.

Good Luck!

Around the time that your period is due. Maybe a couple of days before or a couple of days after.
