Hi. I am wondering when I should take an HPT. My AF was August 18. BF and I "did it" (lol) August 31st, but he pulled out. My expected ovulation was around September 1st or 2nd. For the past three days I have been extremely tired, definitly experiencing severe nausea, almost to the point of throwing up, and smells are starting to bother me. I also got a really bad "hotflashes" yesterday and this morning. I ended up not even going to work this morning because I was feeling so sick. My AF is due around this Saturday, and usually I would have really sore boobs already, but I don't. Definitly not normal for me. The last time I felt like this, I took two HPT's that were both negative, but I had a definite miscarriage two weeks later. I think I took them too early. Should I just wait until Saturday, and if AF doesn't show up, take it then? I am so nervous and excited. Also, I smoke. I know I have to stop, and am thinking I should stop now that I think there is a chance that I am pregnant, so that if I am I don't hurt the baby.

Thank you for any insight or advice.

Its possible, but I would definately wait for AF to test.That way if you were to test early and it was neg. then if AF don't show you only have to test more. Some people get results before AF but most don't. And some won't even get results for a week or two after AF was due. Patience is hard but its the key to getting the right answers.

Well, if I were you I would just try to stop smoking now anyway since it isn't good for the baby or you. Babies are a really good reason to quit. For testing, if you don't care about spending extra $$ then there is no harm in testing early just get one of those 4 day early tests and use first morning urine. If you want to save a few bucks then wait until the weekend.
