Should I take a test?

Me and Mike(bd) have been have unprotected sex. We decided to TTC a while ago but it hasn't happened. Anyways last month I was a week late on my period but I got it and it was farely normal.

Now this month I am 5 days late. Mike thinks I should take a test but I did that last time and wasted money for nothing (kind of). Should I wait longer (maybe a few more days and then test).

Am I just late every month because I am on no birth control. Last time I got pregnant I was off BC for like 6 months and the signs were obvious!! But I don't know.

I think that the amount of money that you are paying for the test is worth it, because it will give you some peace.

You are sitting down, worrying about it....but a test will give you a pretty accurate answer. And if you are TTC, you may just get the answer you are looking for, and that will definatly make it all worth it. And if its a negative, atleast you wont have any longer to get your hopes up, and can get back to having all that fun of trying.

Your boyfriends on the right track. The amount of money spent on the test is worth it, if it means your happiness!

I never test until like 5 months in. It';s up to you, I also think it's a waste of money.

It's up to you, but you can find really cheap tests - I bought a store brand one for $5 - you can also buy multiple packs. Personally, I can't wait any longer than a week or so...

Well if it dosnt come I would go to the doctors.

I got a negative on my first blood test for pregnancy. I went back a week and a half later, and got a postive....so their is room for error. I hope things work out well for you.
