I think I might be pregnant
How can I tell if I am? I really really dont want to be at the moment, and i dont even know if i am. My period is always really regular and it was due yesterday, do pregnancy tests work this soon after your period is due? are there any other signs that i should look out for? please help me 
Yeah, some of the more expensive ones like Predictor and ClearBlue will give an accurate result on the first day of a missed period. Try to use a sample of urine first thing in the morning (the pregnancy hormone hCG will be most concentrated then) and avoid drinking too muck water the night before to be extra sure you get an accurate reading. Fingers crossed!
My period usually comes on the Monday, if it hasn't then I usually wait until the Wednesday and if it hasn't come by then, then I would take a pregnancy test. Only had to do it a couple of times cos I panicked but it definitely puts your mind at rest. Take a test if it'll make you relax.

What makes you think you might be pregnant? As LipGloss has very comprehensively explained, you can do some tests now but if you've missed your first wee of the morning it might be better to try tomorrow instead. You never know, your period might have arrived by then anyway. If you know your cycle so well, do you know which day you had sex on? And was it completely unprotected? Did you get the MAP?
Yes - any pregnancy test will work from the day your period is due. You don't need to buy a really expensive one.
Having said that, like sparkle said, you might want to give it another day or two just in case you're late. No point wasting money unnecessarily.
There are a few other signs to look out for yes, but by no means do they have to be present for you to be pregnant:
tender breasts
feeling of needing to pee more than usual
feeling more tired than usual
nausea
feeling faint
constipation
If you don't have any of these though you still might be pregnant.
There are also a few others that are a bit of a "false friend" if you like, because they are common for both the early stages of pregnancy, AND when you have your period:
bloating
cramping
spotting (blood)
low back pain
Both times when I've found out I was pregnant, I thought for sure my period was on its way, because I was cramping for several days. It felt just like the onset of my period, except that no bleeding happened.
I never had any of the other symptoms though - at least not in the very beginning.
I take it from the unhappy smiley that pregnancy is not something you're hoping for. I wish you luck that you're not pregnant. Don't worry too much though - being a few days late is not an uncommon thing at all.

good news for me, im not :P was just late after all! it was kind of unlikely as iv never actually had unprotected sex but i tend to get myself all worked up over little things. Thanks so much for your replies everyone, spesh Xena, hopefully the thread is useful for some other people in the future xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yay I'm happy for you!
