Hi Danielle,

Wait until you would expect your period and see what happens. Give it a few extra days if it doesn't show, just in case it is late, and then test if necessary. While some women will get an accurate result on tests a few days before a period, most will find that they are more accurate once a period is already late.

The headaches and such could be due to pregnancy, but they may also be due to PMS.

Thanks
