When is it best to test to confirm pregnancy? Okay ladies, the official count down is on! My period is due in just 9 days, December 6th to be exact. According to the First Response early detection website, I should be able to test this upcoming Friday December 1st, but I don't want to get myself upset with a negative. How many days before your expected period (or days past ovulating) did you test when you got your BIG FAT POSITIVE!! What brand did you use? I'm so impatient! I already have one beautiful little boy, he's three. I would like more than anything to receive news that my handsome man will be a big brother this time next year. Also, to anyone ttc whether it be your first, second, third, and ect good luck and baby dust! My prayers are with you all during this journey. Being a mother is my greatest accomplishment and the best feeling in the entire world. Happy Holidays Everyone ❤🎄💙
