If I think I have morning sickness almost immediately after conception will an early pregnancy test work?

Q: I already asked if its possible to get morning sickness two days after possibly conceiving and am wondering do I still have to wait until five days before my period to confirm with and early pregnancy test? What I mean is if my hormones have reacted so much already would an early pregnancy test work? Has this ever happened to anyone? I am so impatient to find out!

A: Well, no. There is some type of thing where the sperm does get into the egg, but they never reach the implantation stage in the uterus, that’s when you get your period. During this time, you can feel that you are having changes. A test can’t read the pregnancy until you reach implantation, which is usually two weeks after conception.

Q: have my period on September 29,2009. I really want to know that am I pregnant. My breast is really hurting now. I hope to not be pregnant. How about the 99cent pregnancy test work? Please help me.

A: No. Those early ones do not work. I took an early pregnancy test the day before my period was due and then 2 days later and they both told me no. A few days later when I still didnt get my period I took another one and sure enough I was pregnant. The only way to get an accurate reading is to wait at least 5 days after your period is due. After those 5 days just about any pregnancy test will give you a correct reading. Dont listen to those tests that say they can tell you 5 days before your missed period, because it told me no, but I was. I know its hard to wait and your excited, but give it a few days, otherwise you will be wasting your money and sitting around still wondering if that negative you got on the test really is a positive b/c you did it to early.
