: actually you can take a test the day you miss your period and ovulation occurs around 12-16 days BEFORE your next period is due with the average time being 14 days. Symptoms usually start after the egg implants and that is anywhere from 4-12 days after ovulation if the egg is fertilized.

: Good luck.

Usually a test taken the first day of your missed period is not accurate even though many home pregnancy tests say so. I took a test with my 2nd baby after 4 days of being late and was negative. Then I re-took it again after 2 weeks and was positive. That happened to many friends and also many patients at work.

Keep us posted.
