How Soon is TOO soon?

I took a P test, 3 to be exact but the last one with only a few drops of urine. Anyways they all came out negative. My last period ended 10/26 and started 10/20. I've been off the pill since March. I tested all 3 times last week with negative responses which I would think was too soon right? I have sore nipps and had this heavy bloating the last first week of Nov. I also have gained some weight but all over really and am tired a lot of the time. I just don't know what to think. This isn't something that was planned but we had an accident 3 times within the last 2 weeks. What are your thoughts and when should I attempt to test. Thanks ladies, I don't know what I'd do without you!

I would wait at least until your period is due. My last period started on the 26th. If you chart your cycle then you'd see when you ovulated and have a clearer picture of when your period is due - the charting and natural family planning boards offer advice and help on that. But in the meantime do something to take your mind off it. And think of a few things you'd like to do BEFORE getting pregnant (losing wieght, painting a room, coloring your hair, last girls night out) in case you aren't and to help lighten dissappointment.

Good Luck! (To me too :)

Hiya! Thanks for your response. I actually started the ATkins today to loose some weight so good idea. Now I get paranoid that if I am I should be eating better and not drink. I will be okay either way. If I am well I will be very worried as I am not ready for this and am a single mom with a new bf of 1 year, I very rocky year. And if I am not I will continue with my weight loss and hair coloring hee hee. I wouldn't mind having a sibling for my little one who will be 3 this weekend. Thanks for your advise I will try out that board cause I am clueless with Ovulating etc... and best of luck to you!

You and I share the exact same cycle this past month...which means AF is due Sunday if on a 28 day cycle. I also tested last week and have pretty much the same symptoms as you do. I've been eating more then usuall and gained a few pounds. When I was pregnant with my daughter..I tested four days before and a faint line came up with Clear Blue..so I'm thinking that I could perhaps try in a couple of days..and so could you

Well I couldnt resist and bought another one yesterday called ANSWERS. It says you can do it 4 days prior. It was 6 bucks for 2 tests so that makes me think it may not work as well. Either way it came out negative so I guess I will just wate till around thanksgiving. Let me know when you take yours maybe we can do it together.
