Is my pregnancy safe?!

Question

So my period is due tomorrow, and I have 6 positive pregnancy tests from the last 2 days and today! My question is, how many days late does your period have to be for you to be “in the clear” or missed your period? Like if my period is 3 days late, can I assume I won’t get it? What about if it’s a week late, then can I assume I just missed it? Help! This is my first pregnancy and I am SO FREAKING EXCITEDDDD, I just don’t want to get my hopes up because I’m not in the clear yet:/

Answer

You definitely are pregnant!! Congratulations!!! Happy & Healthy 9 months to you 💕💕
However “safe” is a funny word - most women (and doctors) wouldn’t say you’re out of the woods until close to or the end of the first trimester (12 weeks) - that’s why you’ll see a lot of women waiting until that time to announce a pregnancy. This is because the largest majority of miscarriages will happen during this first trimester (usually earlier on than later) - this doesn’t mean any new mom did anything wrong, it just can happen for a variety of reasons but the main one being not the right number of chromosomes. 
Fingers crossed that you will NOT have to worry about that but I think it’s helpful to have a realistic view of the road ahead since you were asking and you’ll no doubt read this happening to others on this app at some point!

Answer

You’re pregnant. Congrats... last month my period came on March 22nd but I didn’t wait til April 22nd to say I missed it. There’s usually only 27 days between my cycles which would have been April 17th. When my period didn’t come on the 17th I tested and it was positive.

Answer

With so many positives I would say you’re in the clear, but I didn’t consider mine missed until I was over a week late. Only because I previously have been 6 days late before.
