When to test with irregular cycles?
| Sat, 09-27-2003 - 7:24pm |
Hi,
My LMP was Aug. 30, starting in the evening. My cycles are very irregular; typically between 28 days and 45 days. My DH has been out of town most of the month, so the only time we BD was Sept. 18. Conception would have had to have happened on or after that date. So, when should I test? I cannot wait until day 45 without losing my mind, but I don't want to waste a lot of money. Would day 30 be safe? Is there some formula of days past conception I need to wait before testing?

I feel very pregnant. I am almost 100% convinced but I need that positive test! I basically feel just like I did with my previous pregnancies, and I don't get similar symptoms every month. Like an idiot, I tested this evening and got a negative--But, it's a little early, I didn't use FMU, and with all the peeing I've done during the day I barely had enough to pee on the test long enough.
I was thinking of getting a two-pack of that test that says you can take it 5 days earlier. I could test Monday (Sept.29) and then Thursday (Oct.2)if Monday was negative. Would that give me enough days past conception?
