    Pleaseeeee help ? Pregnant ?
    Hi. On June 15 I had unprotected intercourse (I know that was a stupid move) I got my normal flowing 4 day heavy then light period on the 18th of June. I have taken like 5 pregnancy test & all negative. From cheap to pricy ones. My last one was this morning witch is exactly 2 weeks after. It was a ept. Was my test accurate? When should I test again? Next Wednesday perhaps?

    Can you? Go ahead. Will it be accurate? It might, it might not. (You haven't told us when your LMP was.)
    Read this carefully:
    'The most sensitive at-home pregnancy tests should be able to detect pregnancy before the first day of your missed period and should be able to identify more than one form of the pregnancy hormone hCG. These tests should be able to detect not only hCG but also a variant of the pregnancy hormone, hyperglycosylated hCG or hCG-H.
    The FIRST RESPONSE™ Early Result Pregnancy Test can detect the pregnancy hormone earlier than any other at-home pregnancy test with unsurpassed accuracy. Enhanced FIRST RESPONSE™ technology detects lower levels of hCG. The more sensitive a pregnancy test is, the earlier you will receive information about your pregnancy status. It is important to note that some women may not have detectable amounts of pregnancy hormone in their urine until after the missed period. This is because hCG levels vary between women, and because some women sometimes have difficulty predicting the exact date of their next period.'

    Note that although they claim their product is first, best, and most accurate, they also qualify all that with exceptions. So the answer is only maybe. And I haven't heard any great results from actual users.

    'Digi' as far as I know is the ovulation test only.

    The proper time to test is 2 weeks after you miss your period, using first morning urine. How late is your period?

    From what you wrote, you had a period on June 18, it is now June 29. So you have yet to even miss a period.

    I had sex 3 days before my period & got my normal period. I would like to just make sure & see if next Wednesday would give me an accurate result. My period was the 18 & lasted a normal 4 days.

    I know. Some women bleed & I would like to make sure.

    I understand that you want to make sure, but testing too early won't give you an accurate answer. You'll have to do what ever other woman on the face of this Earth has to do, and that's wait for a missed period, and test 2 weeks later using first morning urine. You're testing way too early. If you are pregnant (which is possible) you won't get a reliable answer right now.
