How Soon Do I Test?
Posted: 10-06-05 09:35am

Alright here's the deal.
My boyfriend and I are ttc. I recently went of of the pill on 9/11. I have had my period twice this month. The first time 9/11-9/16, this one was normal. The second time was 9/20-9/25, this one was really light and was pinkish and mucus like(day1-3) then it changed to brownish and thick(day3-4) then really red and heavy(day 4-5). I was scheduled to ovulate on 9/22 - 9/27. We ttc on the 23, 24, 25, 28.
I was scheduled to have my period today. How soon should I test to get an accurate result?

Please reply!!

Baby dust to all those ttc xoxo

You'll probably want to wait until about a week after your missed period, just to make sure you get an accurate reading and so that your hormone levels will be more advanced and easier to detect (if you are pregnant). I tested on the day I missed my period and got a false negative because I wasn't far enough in my pregnancy. I tested five days later and got a positive read out.
Best of luck to you.

I use first response as a hpt. I was supposed to start af today as of now I am feeling really sick to my stomach and I felt like I needed to puke all night and it just won't come out :( it feels like heartburn. I am really tired now too. I am now just hoping. I plan on testing on oct. 16th (my birthday) it would be a great suprise to find out I was. Girls throw me some baby dust.

Xoxo
