Early test

Has anybody ever used an early pregnancy test? My period is due in 7 days but I just feel pregnant. I've read a lot of things that say they're unreliable though so wondering if I should just wait and see what happens instead of buying one?
Thanks.

My best advice is to not get ahead of yourself - you're still not due for 7 days. I wouldn't take a test until your due date.
Pregnancy and period symptoms are so so similar.

I'm a very impatient person and I took a test 5 days before my period was due and it was positive. I'm now 34 weeks pregnant. Not recommending it or saying that it's the most sensible thing to do, but you can get a positive pretty early on sometimes. If I were you I'd wait at least a few more days to avoid disappointment.

Hi All, I took a test and I am 6 weeks pregnant. I’m worried as I was previously smoking & drinking. I stopped as soon as I found out but could I have harmed my baby? Thank you. I don’t have any other children this will be my first x

I took a FRER 9dpo and there was a very faint positive. It was our 5th month of trying and I had 0 patience!

Thanks everyone! I decided not to bother getting one just going to wait and hope for the best 🤞
Thanks again 🙂

I took a pregnancy test 7 days before my period was due as I had “a feeling” & got a faint line. Then the next day took a clear blue digital & got ‘pregnant 1-2 weeks’.
