    Taking a pregnancy test when you are only 2 days late, is ineffective. HPTs are less that 50% accurate during the 1st week after you missed. You need to wait at least 2 weeks after you period's due date to get a truly accurate result.

    No one can tell you whether you are pregnant or not at this point.

    But I have 2 children already and I always do pregnancy test about 2 or 3 days before my period is due and they were positive. What I am worried about is that I had 2 periods last month.

    I don't know why you have previously gotten positive readings at that point in time. Maybe your body produces HCG in unusually high amounts. All I can tell you is that studies I've seen have shown that test results are less than 50% accurate during the first week after the due date.Aand the accuracy increas to over 95% by the end of the second week.
