Well ladies today is cd 32 for me and I am
still waiting for af. I am not sure if I
am late because this will only be my 2nd
cycle since my m/c in July. It took me
like 40 something days to get af after the
m/c, so I don't know how regular my cycles
are going to be now. This waiting is
driving me nuts, I try not to think about
it but it is super hard.
To make things worse today I received a
parcel.....It was a parcel from Nestle. A
cute cooler bag with a can of formula and
a few other items. I had forgotten that I
had joined the club. So then I started
thinking maybe it is a sign that I
possibly could be pregnant. I know that
everyone will say to just take a test but
I know that it may be too early because I
tend to ovulate later in my cycle.
For the past week and a half I have had a
lot of cramping, like as if af is going to
start but it doesn't. Oh well I think that
I am going to try to hold out until
Thursday to test......hopefully I have
enough will power. So I really didn't have
a question, I just wanted to get it out
because it kinda helps. So thanks for
listening and hopefully everyone gets
their Bfp really soon!!!!
Sending lots of baby dust to everyone
ttc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to start by saying how sorry I am
for your loss.
You are right, it can take a few cycles
for your body to regulate itself after a
loss. So, I can see why you would want to
give it some more time before you test.
How long were your cycles before the loss?
I suggest going to a dollar store of some
kind and getting some cheap tests. That
way if the first is a bfn, you won't be
discouraged and can test again as soon as
you want.
Good luck with waiting until Thursday, it
isn't to far. Make sure you let us know
what the results are when you test!
See it is really hard to tell with my
cycles because when I got pregnant I had
just been on bc. I was off it for about a
month before I got pregnant. I was on bc
for about 8 months and before that I was
on a bunch of fertility drugs because I
was an egg donor for my aunt. So needless
to say I don't have that much to go by. It
is really frustrating....I am sure that
you completely understand what I am
talking about (:
As far as cheap tests the dollar stores
here don't sell them. Walmart is about as
cheap as it gets.
How many days post ovulation is it safe to
test to get a reliable result.....I am
pretty sure when I ovulated so I should be
around 12po. I hope that I wrote that
correctly...lol I don't think that I will
get my Bfp because it really seems like af
is on her way ): Ah well, we always have
next month.

Many women can get bfps pretty early, and
probably half will have something show up
by 12 dpo (I start testing around 10 dpo)
But, there are still plenty of women that
don't show anything until af is due. It's
really up to the individual pregnancy, not
even the woman. It is really up to you and
how you feel about seeing a bfn.
Personaly, I have no problems with it, so
I can test everyday and it doesn't get me
down. But, if it would bother you to see a
bfn, then you might want to wait until
about 14 dpo. But, that's just my
suggestion.
And you are right, if this month isn't it,
you always have next month. That is a
wonderful attitude to have. I wish I could
feel that way every month!

I was told by my doctor that a OTC test
will be positive 6-14 after implantation,
and implantation takes 6-12 days after
ovulation/conception to implant in the
uterus. so another words it can take up to
1 week after your scheduled period to get
a BFP.
