Question

When should I take a preg test?

Hello, my period was due to start either yesterday or today. It still hasn't arrived, but obviously isn't late yet. I've been having infrequent spotting over the past few days which isn't irregular for me, but I've also had horrible cramps, a low backache, sore breasts, food aversions and peeing like crazy so should I wait until tomorrow to test or wait a few more days after then? TIA

I am there with you!!! I have been asking myself the same question! i was just about to ask the exact same one. I'm 12 DPO and not supposed to start until Thursday but today only when I wipe I have some spotting, nothing on the pl. I have noticed I am having lots of trouble with food the last few days. Things sound sooo good them i get it and it tastes awful! Hot wings are the only exception so far. Smells are making me gag & dry heave. Nausea, slight pressure in the abs, sleeplessness, when getting sleep I have these very vivid dreams about being pregnant (confirm by the dr.) but never being able to go into labor. I feel preggo. But I have reached a point that I'm afraid to test as if it comes back negative...I would have to face a reality of possible not preggo. I got a test today but am still hesitant to take. I would say if you are due for your period but have not had yet go for it!

What's very sad is CHOCOLATE is not tasting good! I'm not sure I would want to go 9 months where chocolate tastes bad.

Thanks for the help everyone. I had planned on taking a test this morning but I woke up and got my period instead. :( the only positive I can find is that at least I didn't waste a hcg test!! ;)
Hopefully next month....
