before my period is due (i'm too impatient) I'm sure there is one on the market that you can do a few days before you are due on?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

yes theres a few you can do 4 days befor, clearblue do one, good luck

First response say they're early but they accuracy rate is about 30% for 4 days before
but they're pretty unreliable before af dates tbh
And very expensive...
Wait few more days :)
You can buy test strips off tinternet/ebay etc some tests are for early detection...

agree with piffle, I'd wait a few more days until your AF is late at least. there are several posts on here from MN'ers who have tested before or on the date of expected af, had BFN result and then tested a few days later and got a bfp. The disappointment of bfn can be overwhelming, imo leave it as long as possible.

Agree with everyone, try your best to wait as long as you can, I started testing 2 days before my AF was due, BFN, tested again the day AF was due, still BFN, nine days later, tested again and got a BFP!! (and even then it was only faint!)

Good luck though whenever you do test, let us know the outcome. Do you have any PG symptoms?
