    Yeah, it is possible. It is also possible to still get a false negative if you are not pregnant. However, I tested the day after I was supposed to start and didnt and it was very faint, but it was positive!! Good luck!

    You may be pregnant if you have had sexual intercourse and you have symptoms of pregnancy:

    A missed period -- (if your periods are usually regular).

    A short, scant period.

    Breasts that are sore, tender or swollen.

    You feel sick to your stomach, or you are vomiting.

    Fatigue -- feeling more tired than usual.

    You need to urinate more often than usual.

    Mood swings

    These symptoms most often don't occur until you have missed your period for about 2 weeks, but this varies from woman to woman, symptoms can occur earlier for some women (sometimes a week after a missed period). I was queasy about a week after conception. (Amy, RN)

    Remember, the onset and degree of pregnancy symptoms will vary from woman to woman and from pregnancy to pregnancy. Many women experience them within a week of conception, others take a few weeks.

    If you have missed your period, but have not yet taken a pregnancy test, don't assume you're pregnant. Continue to use contraception if you have intercourse and don't want to be pregnant. Remember that the length of your menstrual cycle can vary. There can be major changes in your cycle when you're under a great deal of stress.

    Before you proceed to get extremely worried, see if you have any of the signs of pregnancy. Signs of pregnancy usually occur one to two weeks after conception, although the they will vary from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy.

    If you have any or all of these symptoms, go right away to your health care provider or family planning clinic and ask for a pregnancy test! If you don't want to go to a clinic yet, buy a home pregnancy test at any pharmacy. (These can be expensive), but this is an important test.

    You could technically, but you're better off waiting til a week has passed and don't stress as that may delay it longer if you are in fact not. Take it easy and test in a few more days :) Good luck!

    yes, you can check now! I was only a week late and I checked and I was pregnant... it showed up really clear. But remember there can be false negatives but no false postives! Good Luck!

    yes you can check now with a home pregnancy test and also the first morning urine is the best since it would have more of the pregnancy hormones !!

    Latest technology home tests can give a credible result even before your period is due. I'd say it's time for you to have one.

    wait until you have missed your next period that way the test will be accurate, you should take the test first thing in the morning because then your hormone levels will be higher

    You can normally check from the day your period is due. Go buy a hpt! :)
