Can you help me decide when to take a pregnancy test?

Q: Ok my main question is – when they say that you should take the test in the morning, does it actually mean the morning, or just when you haven’t been for a while? (stupid question I know!)Basically, if I’m about 2 days before my period’s due, and I’ve got a test that says it can work up to 6 days early, am I likely to get an accurate result if I use it now (at least 5 hours after I last went to the toilet if that’s relevant), or do I really need to wait till tmo morning.Details for anyone who cares – I’ve been thinking I’m pregnant for a few days, I feel really sure even though it’s actually quite unlikely based on how much sex we’ve had at what points in my cycle. I wanted to get 2 test that can be used early so I could do one straight away then in the morning when it’s more accurate, but the pharmacy I went to didn’t have any so I had to get some that you can only use around when you’re due. Then 10 steps down the road, I realised there was another pharmacy there, lol, but they only had 1 early test so I’ve got 1 early and 2 normal tests. I can’t decide whether to take the early test now, because I really want to know but if it’s too early to get a result apart from in the morning, I don’t want to waste it and have to wait for days before I can use the cheap ones. There doesn’t seem to be any point doing a cheap one now just to keep me going till tmo morning over because I think it’s guaranteed to show negative at this stage. Advice please? Thank you for your help!

A: Honestly the “correct” thing to do is to wait until your period is late by at least a day… but unfortunately, I think the stress of worrying about waiting to take a test can cause your period to be late. We put so much stress on ourselves ttcers! So I would say take your early test. If you get a neg now, it may give you enough *umph* to wait until your period is late and the constant obsession will subside. Good luck to you, I hope you get your BFP!
