According to the various ovulation calculators around I ovulated between 24-29th May and AF would be due this Saturday. I conceived quickly (first month) for both my other pregnancies but my last pregnancy was over 4 years ago so can't remember my early symptoms except mild cramps and tender boobs which I don't have either of. However, since last Sunday I have been soooo hungry, peeing loads, feeling tired, a few dizzy spells, headachey (did have a migraine last Friday so initially thought this was a residue headache but it's not gone). I don't know when I can/should test. Part of me thinks wait until I have missed my period but I'm also really impatient!! Also I'm tight so don't want to buy an expensive early pregnancy test

Hey

I had all of those symptoms last month and my period delayed by ten days.

Dont test until your period is over a week late. Last month I did some research and only 70- 80% of tests done the day a period is due show a true result. To get a 100% accuracy reading test one week after its due.

I learnt that lesson last month, was convinced I was pregnant and the stress of a delayed period didnt help Sad

I disagree with @Littleonek, false positives are rare so if you get a positive on a pregnancy test then in all likelihood you are pregnant. However testing early does open you to the possibility that you will pick up a pregnancy that for whatever reason doesn't continue. This is extremely common, and before the super sensitive pregnancy tests were around nobody picked up on these unsustainable pregnancies.

I couldn't resist and just did a cheap poundworld one. Came back negative but not lost hope as it's still very early. I will try to wait until my period is due now- lesson learnt!
