When should I test again?

Hi,

I posted here last week about possibly being pregnant due to an interruption in my bc. I realized that my last period actually started on March 20. I tested prematurely last week and it was negative. Now, I'm wondering when should I test again? Had my bc not been interrupted, af would've started today. I've been feeling really bloated in the lower part of my stomach, having mild (annoying) cramping breast soreness since a week and a half ago, though. Should I have tested this morning or should I wait until the 24th when af should be showing?

Thanks a bunch!

I'd wait until a day or two after your af is expected. And if it still comes up negative, wait a couple more days..(as close to a weeks as possible ) and then test again... still no AF, consider calling doctor. But I'm sure it'll show...or maybe you are prego! you do have some good symtoms. Good Luck...wish i could help more..but I didn't see your post last time. So I'm not sure how the bc interruption went.

Good Luck

I've been on nuvaring for about a year now. Last month, when it was time to insert a new ring, I realized that I was out of refills. I called my obgyn but wasn't able to reach her (no one would answer or return my call) for a week and a half. In the meantime, my dh and I had unprotected sex twice, using the withdrawal method (I know, I know...). Then, even after I inserted a new ring, we bd'd two more times, not even withdrawing those times. Because of the interruption, I know that we should've used something for at least seven days until the bc was back in my system, but we didn't. I don't know if these symptoms are just hormonal or if I could be preggo. I have an appt with my obgyn on May 1st. This wait is going to be so annoying.

Boy oh Boy... I dunno... not really familiar with how nuvaring works. I mean if you are off on taking any kind of birthcontrol there is a chance of getting pregnant. Did you talk to one of the nurses at your doctor's office to see what they suggested? I wouldn't stress on it...I know its hard not to. And if AF doesn't come when it's suppose to then I'd test. And if its neg... wait that long tretureous week and see your doc. It could be just the fact that you're all out of whack starting your month off late. Good Luck.. Keep me updated!
