If you were already supposed to get your period and missed it, then you can take the test… lots of the new prgnancy tests you can even take it 5 days before your missed period. Make sure you take the test with your first urine sample in the morning (so its concentrated). Odds of having a false negative are much greater than a false positive, so if you get a positive result odds are that you are pregnant but you should go to the doctors to take a second test to make sure. But please don’t freak out just yet– there are lots of things that can cause you to miss a period: stress, eating habits, thinking that you are pregnant ( yes that CAN cause you to miss your period). Also, I don’t know if you were on birth control and forgot to take it or what but birth control causes the same symptoms as pregnancy (trust me i would know I’ve has a couple scares myself). Hope this helps, best of luck, and email me if you need anything else!
