When to test? Please HELP!

I am very very nervous and cannot seem to wait any longer to go get tested, maybe since it would be my first and I have no idea what to expect. My last period was August 10th (cycle 28 days) so logically my next period is due on Sunday (7th of September). I ovulated around the 24th-25th of August...

Also, besides a blood test, which over the counter test would you recommend for early testing? I bought a regular one last Saturday (30th of August) but (I know...I know) it was WAY too early so a negative result did not even surprise me...

Thanks.

I was just like you starting last Thur. I am a 28 day cycle as well and LMP was Aug 7. I tested with FRE on the 28th and it was way too early so it was neg. I then tested 5-days early on 31 like the instructions said and I had a faint + line. I then tested yesterday am and it was a darker +. If you want to test early, try the First Response. I also used an Equate Wal-Mart brand this morning and it was +!!! So don't think you're crazy if you test too much because I think I'm keeping the HPT companies in business all by myself...:)Good luck to you and let us know how it goes!
