    It's always best to wait until you actually miss your period to take any type of pregnancy test. A quantitative blood test would show up now but most doctors won't preform one of those until a qualitative blood test is done(not as accurate). The waiting game is not fun but we all have to play... relax.

    Definitely too early... you need to wait until at least 1-2 weeks past a missed period...

    FYI a quantitative blood test may not show up yet... it all depends on whether the baby had actually implanted or not...
