Don't go get a blood test until you get a positive urine- IT won't show much this early

I totally understand you. I'm 30 weeks pregnant and I knew I was pregnant the moment it happened. Sounds crazy but in the end I was right. You can go get a blood test as early as 4 days before you period. Possibly even before. I took a blood test 3 days before my period

If you get a positive HPT (which should be accurate anytime in the next few days for you, if you get one of the super-sensitive early response tests) there's no reason for a blood test. Why on earth would you pay for that? I never once had a blood test to confirm either of my pregnancies, a HPT is plenty accurate.

Its nice to hear I'm not crazy! My mom doesn't believe me and told me I'm getting my hopes up to be let down but I just know. I think I will do the same and do it 3 days before and if negative one day after! Thank you for the tip
