If you are not sure when to take a pregnancy test, please read the following:
​1. If your period is late... TAKE A TEST.
​2. If your whole period is missed... TAKE A TEST.
​3. If you "feel different" but your period is due in a couple of days... TAKE A TEST.
​ALTERNATIVELY...
​1. If you are in your fertile window... DON'T TAKE A TEST; it's too early.
​2. If you had sex during your period... DON'T TAKE A TEST; likelihood of conceiving is slim.
​3. If you are only 3 days past your ovulation... DONT'T TAKE A TEST; it's too early.
​4. If you had anal... DON'T TAKE A TEST; you can't get pregnant that way. 
​5. If you gave oral sex... DON'T TAKE A TEST; you can't get pregnant that way.
