No.

4 days before expected period= 51%

3 days before expected period= 82%

2 days before expected period= 90%

1 day before expected period = 95%

The day of =99% To ensure the best results: * Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest * Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results * Take the test no more than 1 day before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low. * urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip * Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test.

Is it possible to be pregnant if you have most of the symptoms but still get your period on time although it is lighter than usual?

If you have symptoms of EARLY pregnancy and are seeing SLIGHT bleeding you may have "implantation bleeding". This is caused by the fertilized egg becoming implanted in the wall of the uterus in very early pregnancy. Take a simple, cheap do-it-yourself pregnancy test bought at the drug store. Follow the directions and they are very accurate. If you are pregnant, then God bless you and your child!
