on 12/26/2006 Pregnancy kits vary substantially on how sensitive they are. They can very by hundreds of miu, the difference of about 10 days. Find out sooner (and waste less time and money worrying/waiting) by checking online for ones which detect lower amount of miu (not necessarily the ones which claim they are early detection.) Here is an list of early detection level kits:

on 11/22/2005 If you are nervous about the test, ask a trusted friend or relative to be there. They can give you support if you get the "wrong" result, help celebrate if it's the "right" result, and even check the result for you if you don't feel up to it.
