How long do you wait before testing?

OK so it is probably stress that is causing my period to be late, but it did bring up a question! If I got pregnant sometime between the 13th to the 18th, and my period was due the 21st, when would I test? Do you have to wait 4 weeks after conception, or is it always just the first missed period? TIA!

I would wait until I missed my period. Those tests are expensive!

I would wait until you miss it too and then maybe get one of the ones that offer two in a pkg, just in case. Good luck!

Hello Everyone,

I am new and I have been TTC baby #3 for 6 months now. Just wanted to reply to the question that I am one of those people who cannot stand to wait it just drives me insane to just wait and see if I start I would rather just go ahead and test. So I went online to I think it was cheappregnancytest.com and ordered like 10 of them they are alot cheaper than getting them from the store and they are actually alot more sensitive so if you were you can get a BFP alot earlier. Anyways just thought i'd share that with you.
Does anyone have any advice on how to raise your chances of a girl?

The only thing I have heard about trying to conceive a girl, is to have sex a couple of days before ovulation to increase the chance of the female sperm making it to the egg. Male sperm die quicker.

As for testing, I should have got AF on last Thursday, I tested Friday and again yesterday and they both say negative. However, I still don't have AF. The test I got, EPT, says you can test before your period is due, but whether it is accurate, I don't know.
