TIP: Don't test too early. Try and wait until the day your period is supposed to start.

Don't panic if you tested early and get a negative. I tested on the 3rd day I missed my period and its a negative but get a positive on the 5th day. I will suggest to wait for 5 days before you get tested.

I'll suggest using the digital pregnancy test so you don't have to take a guess. I used EPT Certainty last time. I bought mine for $19.99 for 2 tests. A bit pricey but result will show less than 2 mins without any guessing.
