how soon can you predict if your pregnant?
How can you get a false positive? Its not possible... If you are, you will almost always know, just because of how you feel, like you may have less sex drive, be more tired that usual, or have senstivity in your breasts. It is not better to wait, because the sooner you know, the sooner you will be able to decide weither or not to do certain things, like drink. Also, you can take a pregnancy test now, and if it is negative, wait 10-14 days and take a second one to be sure that you are NOT pregnant.
I'd wait until you're 3 weeks late, because before then you can get false results when you are actually pregnant, and you can also get positive results when you aren't pregnant. It's better to wait...
