When to test?

[/color]<span style="font-family:Microsoft Sans Serif"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans Ms">Hi everyone! Let me introduce myself...My name is Lacey, and DH and I have been ttc#1 since July. Before getting off bcps and while I was on them my cycles were 28 days to the T....so when I got off of them I figured we would bd around cd14 and that would do the trick.....well, here I am (january) and still not pregnant (not that i know of yet anyway!). This month I got an opk kit, mainly to see if I was even oing, and found out that I did not o until cd23!! So I'm guessing we were just off those other months and bded too soon. We bded right on the day that I got the pos on the opk and a lot before and some after too....so I am REALLY hoping we got it!! I'm on cd7 today and I have been soooo tired, also very nauseous at times, crampy, emotional (i almost cried last night while watching the 40 year old virgin! lol), and I have broken out in little red bumps on my chest. On cd5 I noticed when I woke up that I had a tiny bit of brown cm on my tp....but that only happened once. After that I have been pretty dry, except for yesterday when I wiped I got a big glob of this (sorry tmi) yellowish snot looking cm. Do any of these things sound like symptoms of pregnancy to you? Also, when do you suggest I test? I'm on cd29, but only 7dpo. I guess I should probably wait another week or so....but I'm going NUTS here wanting to know!! Guess I'm just looking for people to bounce stuff off of and wait with. Anyone else in my situation? Thanks

Lacey,

Welcome to Jm and TTC 6+Months. I am Sandy your Co-host. I knwo that the birth control can mess your body up. I was on the shot a long tme and I think that is why I had such a hard time. It took me 14 cycles to get pregnant and it was on my first cycle of Clomid.

At 7DPO it sounds like you have a great chance for a BFP I would try to wait till at least 11 DPO. I always kept the Dollar store test for early testing ( they test at 20) but I kept digital and equate test also. I was a POAS addict so if you ask me sould you test the answer would be POAS!!!! Some people do get their BFP's that early but I never did.

Hi Lacey.

Those sound like they could be pg symptoms. I have heard of some women getting a bfp around this time but I feel more comfortable waiting a little longer. But when it comes to telling other people...POAS right away!

It will probably show up faintly. Good luck!

Thank you all! And congrats Sandy on your pregnancy!

Do you all by any chance check your cp? I have been checking it the past few months....and right now it feels closed, still slightly firm (like the tip of my nose), but at the opening there is a LOT of thick mucus (i've been getting some of that mucus on tp when I wipe too)....do you think that could be a mucus plug building up? I hope this is it sooo bad! I was watching tv with dh tonight all the sudden just blurted out "i think i'm pregnant!" it just came right out! haha so, who knows...i might go but a few dollar store tests and start taking those. do they have them at the dollar general? i used to get them at the family dollar, but we've recently moved and only have a dollar general. I'll keep you updated though. And lots of baby dust!!!
