I have taken two home pregnancy tests this month.. and I am trying to have a baby.. I am having all the symptoms of pregnancy, butit sayd negative. I am only 5 days until my period should start for this upcoming cycle? Am I taking the test too early?

I need to know if I am pregnant or not

You need to give us time to answer. Sometimes the people who may have the answers to your questions may not be online.

Now, with that said, most likely you are taking the test too early. Some tests can detect as early as 5 days before a missed period, however, the likelihood of a false negative is greater.

You need time for the pregnancy hormone hCG to accumulate in your system, usually a week or two passed the missed period. And be sure to use first morning urine.

What J_9 says is true, you need to wait until at least a week past due. Also there is no one here who will be able to tell you whether you are pregnant or not. We are not your doctor. Most women would not be having symptoms of pregnancy this early on, so what you are experiencing is probably something else, or your mind making you believe you are pregnant because you want it so bad... its a psychological reaction. I'm not saying you are not pregnant, Im saying it is too early to tell. Im afraid you are in what we affectionately call the "waiting period" here... good luck!
