Is it early to take the test now?

If you have a normal 28 day cycle, you can take a early test (one of the ones that says its accurate up to 5 days early) tomorrow morning, 23 days after your last period (5 days before your missed period).
However these tests are only about 50% accurate that early (even the early test ones).
The longer you wait, the more accurate your results will be. In about 4 -5 days you should get results that are about 80-90% accurate.
Also make sure you use your morning urine, as it has the most hormone in it and has the best chance to give you an accurate result.

The symptoms you are describing sound more like you are getting sick, but each woman is different, and you never rely know how pregnancy is going to effect you honestly. Each pregnancy is also different, so even once you have gone through it once, you don't rely ,know what to expect each time.

Good luck!
 
How long is your cycle and when are you due? Best time to take a test is when your period is due or overdue for an accurate result.

It's been 22 days since I got my last period. When I get my period each month I never feel like I am feeling 4 days ago. Dizzy all day, wanting to throw up, bad headache, feeling hot even if i am not moving around, and just so many things in my body isn't right. I am planning to get pregnant. But i never felt like this last month or before. If I take a pregnancy test today do you think it's early? should I wait?
