When do I test?

I don't have regular periods and I'm not sure when my last one was. I think it was around Oct. 7. But I'm confused because the only time we did it recently is Oct. 12, and then a week later I had really strong cramps, like I had to lay down and not move the whole evening. Then since then I've had this on and off crampy feeling, plus I get twinges of pain in my boobs, and I have just not been feeling "right."

So if I'm right and conception was the 12th and implantation was the 19th, when will a HPT show positive? I know you're supposed to miss a period first, but that would mean waiting till Nov. 7th (right?) and that's almost 4 weeks from conception. Surely it would show before then? I tested a few days ago, but it was negative and probably too early anyway.

When do you think I should test again?

Well you would be 12dpo today, you could try to test & if it comes back BFN than wait a couple more day. I usually start testing around 12 dpo, if I get a BFN than I will wait 2 days & then test again. We are praying that is our month.. I hope this helps. Rachel

I to am experiencing some of these syptoms. I had my period end 10 days ago. Yesterday I started to spot and continued into today. When can I take a test and possibly know. I'm on bcp. The last few days I've been real tired, I just assumed it was from everything going on around me. But yesterday made me start to worry.

Well I tested today it was BFN. But it was in the middle of the day. I'm going to try again tomorrow first thing in the morning just to see if that makes a difference.

I'll be fine with the results either way but I just want to KNOW! :-)
