when to go get a blood test

Hey I am on cycle day 35, normally a 30-32 day cycle. No sign of AF. Took an internet HPT, came out BFN. I am now wondering about the efficacy of the HPT. At what point do I go to get a HPT. The doc's office said I could come in today, but it was not the nurse, just the receptionist. How early is too early for blood test?

Will I look stupid if I go in today?

I am very curious, plus I will have to discontinue some med's if I am pregnant

No, it is deff not to early for a blood test. you can get a blood test before a hpt. I think you can get a blood test at 8 dpo. not sure about that but its close. I know it can be before af is even late. so if af is late than a blood test is good. I have only heard bad things about those internet tests. Good luck.

How long have you been off BCPs?

I've been off the pill for over a year, but we just started trying recently. I am pretty regular. My longest cycle ever was 35 days, and that was under stress.

I guess I just don't want to look stupid.
