Suggest Correct Time For Pregnancy Test

Hello, I have a feeling I m pregnant (Cravings, sore breasts, exhaustion etc.) I took a pregnancy test (negative) on Sunday, but my cycle is not due until this coming Saturday. Is it possible that I just tested too soon? Would five days make that much of a difference?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
it is not meaningful check urine hcg before due date for periods because most of the time result will be negative. otherthing it is not practical to think you have conceived just from physical symptoms just before your due date for regular periods. so wait patienty. if periods not started within five days following due date , then you can check urine hcg. if you are pregnant , your urine test ususlly will be positive in that time.
