You avoid several days of disappointing negatives if you are pregnant, and you're likely to have a high enough hcg level by then to show on almost any OTC test. Some tests are sensitive enough to pick up positives on day 8 PO, but you're better off waiting (and saving your money on those expensive little sticks) till you're fairly sure of getting a positive if you are in fact preggers.

Good luck! Fingers crossed!
It's not expensive when you work for a company that makes hCG tests.
