AF arrived on June 1st for the first time in 5 years... since I don't know how long my cycle is, when should I test? I thought June 29th (28 days later) but I'm not sure. Any suggestions??? I definitely have a lot of weird symptoms!

Thank you!

I would wait until at least July. Since your so irregular, you could also call your doctor. Blood tests are much more accurate than HPT's. I know with my DD, I didn't get a BFP until 2 weeks after I missed AF.

Good luck to you!!!

Cycles can be so irregular when they are starting back up. If you really feel like you may be pregnant go ahead and test. If it's negative I'd say give it another couple weeks to see if AF comes. Nothing brings on AF like a negative hpt! ; )

Thanks! My DH and I don't want to be overly excited but it seems like all signs point to be pregnant... who knows!?!?! We shall wait and see... he mentioned wishing he had the remote control like Adam Sandler does in his lastest movie Click, so we can fast forward to this weekend.

Amy you sound like me. I did try testing last night, even though I knew I hadn't missed mine. Sounds like we are on the same cycle. I can't recall if I started on June 1 or 2nd. So we'll be testing around the same time. I'm wishing this week would fly by. Course my hubby isn't believing I am, of course I do. ugh. Let a BFP show up.

I tested again this morning... last tested on Saturday (I think!). I guess it would be considered an "invalid" result. On Saturday, there were two dark pink lines for negative and today there was the control line and then a very (very!) faint negative line in the testing window. After hearing how sensitive the dollar store tests are, I may go and pick up a few today. :-) It was weird because I woke up feeling "less pregnant" today... I think I felt that way because I wasn't as nauseous and could actually eat this morning! Plus, I'm a teacher (who isn't working this summer) so I am hanging out around the house cleaning, organizing, and reading... giving me lots of time to THINK! :-) Ah, I hate the wait and see. I wish the blood test was something you could get done at a Patient First type place. Unfortunately, my GYN is two hours away from where I live! I'll be thinking about you and I sit and wait, too!

Yes, I hate the waiting game. I don't want to call my doc yet. This will be my 4th child, lol and I'm a bit hesitant since I had told EVERYONE no more. I'm actually hoping I am at this point. :) But getting a blood test would mean, hubby taking time off work to watch the kids, which would mean all the office knows. I want this between us first this time, probably sounds selfish but I want all of us to get the sink in feeling first before everyone else.

So, what day are you going to test? Thursday will be 28 days... not sure if I want to wait until Friday or even Saturday. I would like to know before the 4th of July so we can tell family at the cookout. Hmmmm... I should really be cleaning right now! :-)

I really want to know NOW, lol, but I think I"ll wait until either Friday morning or Saturday morning. Not sure if I can wait until Sat though. When I thought I got pregnant I went to ebay and bid on a set of HPTs, so I have 6 tests. I did one last night, figure 1 this weekend 1 next week, etc. but hoping this weekend will show up.

Yes that would be good news to celebrate with.
