Too Soon to Start Testing??
| Mon, 04-30-2007 - 2:27pm |
I think ovulated around the 17th of April... and we did do the deed a few times that week as well. When should I start testing?? I think I am supposed to start around the 3rd of May.. But im not 100%. Is now to soon to take a pregnancy test? I've also heard that you can take one 12days after you think you may have concieved. How true is that? Thanks for your help!!

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm due on the 4th, I think. I'm waiting until Wednesday morning to test. Then I'll test again Saturday morning if my period's not here by then.
Most everyone will tell you to wait until you miss your period, but I just can't hold out that long! LOL
The most promising symptom for me is the COMPLETE LACK OF PMS symptoms! I'm on CD29 of an average 31-33 day cycle and I am not having ANY PMS symptoms; no sore breasts, no crabbiness, no bloating, nothing!
My fingers are crossed for all of us! Please be sure to post back your results! :)
Aw, that stinks! I think I'm still in the running. Today's CD30, still no signs of AF. No spotting or sore BB's, which usually begins 3-4 days before AF. AF's due Friday and nothing.
I have been quite crabby for the past day or so and I'm getting some faint leg cramps in my left leg and some slighter cramps in the left side of my abdomen...
Who knows! Fingers crossed for all of us though! :)
Good luck!
Hi. It's me again! I just need a sounding board today.
I wrote yesterday that it appeared my period was coming early. It's supposed to come around the 5th. My typical cycle is that I have a few days of dark discharge and then BAM...very heavy for about a day and a half, then it tails off. This month, however, a week earlier than expected I had the dark discharge just for a day. Now today, I'm having really light bleeding. ALL the symptoms that it's "that time of the month", too...including sore boobs which I never have. The blood is pretty red, and I've read that implantation bleeding isn't, so I'm sure this is just a weird cycle. But I know you all know the agony of the "Is it or isn't it?" game. *sigh* I convince myself that it isn't really my period and pregnancy is still possible even though I really know better. :-/ Poopers.
Hello,
{{{HUGS}}} I am soooo sorry!!! I hope you get a BFP very soon.

TTC to conceive #1 officially since 2001. Dh had Varicocele surgery 2005 and has low sperm count. Dh tried Clomid..it didnt really help, HSG in 1999 and 2005, Charting since Jan 2006, <
Aw, thanks Lisa! I read some of your posts and you and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers!
I have a question for all you POAS addicts...I took a Dollar Tree preg. test tonight. On every test I've taken so far, the window fills with pink as soon as I drop my pee in the little circle. The control line pops up immediately, but nothing shows in the "T" spot at all. This time, however, the "T" line stayed white while all around it turned pink. So I started flipping, thinking I was getting a positive test! ;-) But after the couple of minutes, the rest of the window turned white. I think I can see a 'more white' strip where the "T" line should be. Is that normal? I noticed on Fertility Friend that people take pictures and invert them to help the line show up because they aren't visible to the naked eye. I'm going to take another one in the morning (pending my period doesn't show in the night ;-)) to see if the same thing happens. We're new to the TTC team, so I apologize for the ignorance! ;-P
I am in the same boat as you ladies as well. Although I was not actually TTC I was on b/c to keep my ovarian cysts away but happen to miss 5 pills on accident this month. I missed 3 in the time frame that I would have ovulated. About 3 days after that I started having symptoms...such as constipation, mild cramping in the pelic area both of which I never get and I also noticed that everything tastes funny. I ordered 3 different drinks at the restaurant because they all tasted gross I ended up not drinking anything. I have also been nauseous. I am really nervous but excited. I tested this morning but it was negative however it is too early to test. If I did ovulate during those missed pills then I ovulated some time between the 21st and 24th of April meaning I am only 8dpo. I am going out with my husband and other couple on Saturday and I dont want to drink if I am pregnant. I hope I find out the answer soon. Keep in touch.

Hi, i have also had the brown discharge which lasted for 2 days on the 28th and 29th of april, my last period was the 2nd of april. I have not seen anything since i had the brown discharge, but i have all the symptons of a pregnancy, i did a test on monday the 7th of may and it was a faint positive, i had one done at the doctors the next day and it came up negative, then i did another one and that has come up negative, so i don't know what is going on. I am taking another test first thing in the morning, if that says neagtive then i will be going to the doc's for a blood test, my head is really done in over this, can someone please try and put my mind at rest please.
Here's hoping Liz
