HI ALL,

WELL, IT'S BEEN 15 DAYS SINCE WE WERE TTC, NOTHING SINCE THEN, AND I HAVE SYMTPOMS, SORE BB'S, PAINS IN ABDOMEN, HEADACHES, ETC. MY PERIOD ISN'T DUE UNTIL OCTOBER 30, BUT I'VE TESTED AND TESTED AND IT KEEPS COMING BACK NEGATIVE.

HOW MANY DAYS DO YOU THINK I SHOULD WAIT UNTIL I KNOW FOR SURE?

Give yourself a week before testing again. Your period isn't due for 9 more days. Mine is 5 days late and yesterday I had a BFN. But I haven't given up yet. Until AF arrives, I'll hold on to that slight chance!! I will probably wait a couple more days and then test again. Good luck to you...you're in my thoughts!

I'm due around the 30th also. I tested. BFN I know it was too early. Don't lose hope yet.

Hun,

If AF is only due on October 30th...it is TOO EARLY TO TEST! Wait at least until you are ONE day LATE and then test. You'll get a more accurate result and not stress so much (besides all the $$$ you are speding on HPTs). Use FMU (first morning urine) and FRE (first response early - great test).

Good luck!

THE ONLY REASON I'M TESTING SO EARLY IS BECAUSE WE TTC DURING MY LAST PERIOD AND HAVN'T TTC SINCE THEN. DO I REALLY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MY NEXT PERIOD TO KNOW FOR SURE, I WOULD THINK 15 DAYS WOULD BE ENOUGH FOR A LINE TO SHOW UP ON THE HPT.....PERHAPS I'M WRONG. ANYBODY KNOW FOR SURE?

WELL, I SHOULDN'T SAY TTC, WE WERE HAVING SEX. WE HAVEN'T HAD IT SINCE (HE'S OUT OF TOWN). SO THAT WAS OCTOBER 6 WHEN WE DID IT, NOW I'M HAVING THESE SYMPTOMS AND MY PERIOD ISN'T DUE UNTIL THE 30TH.....WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Alright - first answer some very important questions:

How long are your cycles (first day of period to first day of next period)?

When was the first day of your last menstrual period?

Do you know when you ovulated?

I think you may be ttc at the wrong time of your cycle.

Let us help you.

MY CYCLES ARE USUALLY 32-35 DAYS. THE FIRST DAY OF MY LAST PERIOD WAS OCTOBER 2 AND ENDED OCTOBER 7. WE WEREN'T TTC, BUT NOW I'M HAVING THESE SYMPTOMS AND JUST WONDERING IF IT COULD BE....AND NOW WANT IT TO BE!

OK - first you need to BD (have sex) in the middle of your cycle (say around day 16-17) for ovulation. This is the only timeframe that you can conceive.

You maybe experiencing some symptoms (similar to pg) around the time you ovulate. At least this is the way it sounds to me. You should get a positive on an HPT 15 days after conception, but I doubt you BD at the right time this month.

If you decide that you do want to continue ttc - come back for more advice on ttc tips and hints.

You may still have a chance this month if you get to it tonight!!!!

So - here's to wishing you the best!!!

I HAVE TO DISAGREE, I HAVE A FRIEND WHO BD'D DURING HER PERIOD AND GOT PREGNANT. LIKE ME THAT WAS THE ONLY TIME THEY BD'D. YOU CAN GET PREGNANT EVEN IF YOU'RE HAVING YOUR PERIOD.

I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW LONG IT USUALLY TAKES FOR IT TO SHOW UP ON A TEST.
