    Am I pregnant?
    Ok so I had sex about the beginning of January. My period is 5 days late. I have been very quizzy and lightheaded. My breast get swollen and hurt then it stops. I only get quizzy when I finish eating or drinking like about 5 minutes after. But I do take anti depression medication and I have not taken them for 2 months. I want to wait till the middle of February to take a test.

    Why do you want to wait until mid Feb to take a pregnancy test?
    Better to do one soon as it may be something else that's up with you

    You should wait until your period is at least 2 weeks late, then test using first morning urine. If that test is negative, wait until your next period and test again if you miss it, or see a doctor for a blood test.

    Taking a pregnancy test too soon can lead to a false negative. Many women don't get a reliable result until well into their first trimester. So advising someone to test too early, is not great advice.

    Waiting until she's at least 2 weeks late is the best course of action. Even then, she could get a false negative because it's too early to test or the test was faulty, or she didn't take it correctly.
