Should I go ahead with Pregnancy Test?

[fairylights]

Hi All,

I got my menses 3 days earlier on 12 Feb 2014 when it was due to come only on 15 Feb 2014. The menses lasted only for 2 days and stopped. My menses is usually on time or 1-2 days late. It has not came early before. Also, it normally lasts for 5-7 days. I experienced the menses cramp that I do with each period and felt dizzy on a few occasions last week. Have been feeling bloated for a few days and lower back aches too.

I read some other forums online and some tested positive after their period came earlier and only lasted for 1-2 days.

Should I go ahead and do a test now? Appreciate all advices! Thanks!

There is this thing called implantation bleeding, normally happens 7-10DPO. Is the discharge dark red, brown, pinkish? It is usually brownish and amount is less than your usual period. Only 20% of pregnant women experience implantation bleeding.

Well, no harm doing a test. However, it takes about 2-3 days after implantation for your hcg hormone level to double, or before one can get the BFP (+ve), if you are using the commercially available urine test kits.

Good Luck!
