when is the best time to take a home pregnancy test?

Karthika
Plz advice somebody, I think I am pregnant. But has not confirmed that yet. I'm experiencing most of the symptoms listed in Google. But my partner and myself are so frightened to take a home pregnancy test. He is of the opinion that it's too early to check this up. If the test gives a false negative result,  just because we are early, that's gonna hit us badly. 
So can any one suggest me the apt time to take the home pregnancy test..
