Hi All,

This is my 1st mnth ttc & 1st mnth of bcp. I don't know when to expect AF, but I'm sure I o'd on 8/12-8/13. That would make me 10 days po tomorrow. My lmp was 7/24 so I should be due, but my cycle is off. Any thoughts on when I would test bfp if I waspg?????

The luteal phase (the time after O until AF) is normally 12-16 days long... if you're going to get your period, it should show up in 2-6 days (since you're 10DPO now). Right now is not too early to test though - if you tried using FMU with an "early" variety of HPT, tomorrow would definitely be an okay time to test. The only thing to keep in mind is that there is a higher rate of false negatives when the test is taken this early, and so you might have to just keep testing on subsequent days.

Good luck to you!

Hi Jenessa,

I wish you knew!! I am also 1month TTC, 1 month after bcp and my AF was due yesterday. I personally as an obsessive ;(hhehee) would test every day. I have and am still just waiting. After bcp's I'm sure our cycles are off. Although I used OPK's so I know when I ovulated. At least we ovulated this early huh.

I'd keep trying and maybe even talk to your dr. if you get too late.
