This is why it happens (MLUs is Milliliters per unit).
When you get pregnant, your body produces a hormone called HCG (I can not name nor pronounce the long term. The longer you are pregnant the more hormone is in your body. So at 4 week- its 5MLUs to 426Mlus in your system. That is when normal pregnant women test.. now if you get the test that looks for the highest amount of HCG then you COULD test positive if you were just over the amount.. like at 426MLUs... As you grow in pregnancy your body changes your HCG hormone level and this is how it is...
3 weeks LMP (7 DPO)
0 - 50 mIU/ml
4 weeks LMP (14DPO)
5 - 426 mIU/ml
5 weeks LMP
18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP
1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
7-8 weeks LMP
7,650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
9-12 weeks LMP
25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
13-16 weeks LMP
13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
17-24 weeks LMP
40,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
25-40 weeks LMP
3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
Yes you can take a test up to about 12-16 weeks but you might get a negative if your HCG is to high...
OK The HPTS that you can buy in the store register as follows...
20-50 MLUs
50-100 MLUs
100-250 MLUs
What that means is.. say you have the ClearBlue test it can read between 50-100
(that is the one I took) and you are 8 months which is 35 weeks that means my HCG is 3640-117000... There is no test other then a Doctor test that will say I am pregnant!! My sister is pregnant with my nephew and she took a test the same time I did and at 6 months (25ish weeks) got a positive. So In my calculations... DONT TAKE A TEST LATER THEN 6 MONTHS unless You know that you are and are goofing around because THEY ARE NOT AS RELIABLE AS THEY SEEM... GO TO A DR.

You can take a pregnancy test when you are 2 days late. The tests now will show you are pregnant even before you have missed a period.

was it a pregnancy test at the hospital or at home if at home get the ultra sound if at the hospital don't bother
Is it too early to take a pregnancy test or should I wait?
I'm writing from personal experience here so, I believe you should wait til you are 1 week late on your period. If you are one week late than you should take a home pregnancy test if that comes back positive than make an appointment with your O.B.GYN. Hope things turn out good!!!!!!!!!!

If you are getting other pregnancy symptoms, yes, take another test.

Its best to perform a pregnancy test, 3-4 weeks after you last had intercourse or when your period is a few days late.
