How long after a missed period should i take a test?

[Gruntie2]

Hi... My hubby and I started trying for children August of last year... I am 5 days late on my period. Now i have had late periods before but this one seems to be different... I actually feel like i am going through a period but there is nothing there (cramps feel the same as a period)... Could i be pregnant. If so.. how long should i wait until i take a test to check if i am or not? I have heard 6 days? is that long enough....

Hi Gruntie welcome to the forum

It does all sound very positive! Let us know as soon as you test and how your hubby takes it wont you

Good luck for a BFP (Big Fat Positive!)

Thanx Glitzyglamgirl.... yes... i'll keep u informed
If i am... is it true to keep it secret from loved ones and friends until you're at least 12 years old... Just asking as i know my hubby can't keep secrets LOL

hmm... i think you mean 12 weeks gone ( ) yes i think lots of people do that becuase you are out of the danger zone (dont quote me on that but i think thats right?!?) good luck - all signs looking good for you hun!

yep those hormones have got to work on ya brain already lol, another good sign

If you mean 12 weeks pregnant, I guess thats up to you. Ive told 1 girl at work, OH and everyone here (obviously lol) and my best friend found out this morning (she read it here.....hey sis if your reading luv ya hurry up and sign up lol) but I'll wait a couple more weeks before telling everyone else.

LOL... 12 years!!! yes i meant 12 weeks LOL......

hope its a BFP hun and its up to you if ya want to wait to tell people, i told everyone straight away as i have previously m/c and no one knew and that is harder to explain if they didnt know in the first place but its your choice if you are and depends on if ya believe in tempting fate etc. good luck keep us informed. xxxxx
