Wasn't sure where to put this, so here will do...

I guess its not just for those trying to concieve its a question for everyone...

When you test for pregnancy, how long do you wait????

A week after you're due for AF, or a day??????

What do you do??

[Mamalicious]

You can test the day you miss your period. :yes:

Yeah I know technically you can...but I was wondering how long everyone else waited before testing...

Such as yourself, how long did you wait before testing??

[Nomsie]

some tests say 10 days after conception, so you can test early, but it may not always work. I tested the day I was due :)

I did 2 early on but got BFNs both times. I didn't go to the doctor until I was 2 weeks late.

If I was TRYING to have a baby, I'd be eager and probably test about a week before my period was due, then every day up to my period being due, and then again after if my period didn't come. :p

Yes, I'd be obsessive. :laughing:

Generally though, I'd wait until after my period was due... I dunno how long... if I hadn't had sex, I wouldn't even test...lol. If I'd been having sex regularly, or there was a greater chance of it happening (ie. unprotected), then I'd test sooner probably.

You know, I just realised... I'm on the pill, and having sex, but skipping my period each month cos I hate it... so basically, I wouldn't know if I was pregnant or not going by period anyway...lol.

The person is no longer trying they stopped a little while ago..a couple of months now I think... But didnt go onto the pill or anything, so there is always a chance...

What you are doing with the pill is what I done and I ended up 24 weeks pregnant with no signs of prenancy...lol...so be careful....;) lol

[subaruforestermum]

Thought I might add, The person is 2 days past being due for her period, and no sign of it....(well was due yesterday, so today makes 2 days)!

[chunkydunks]

Its very possible it would show up positive.

TEST HUN TEST!!!!
I spent about $200 on test :laughing: did about 2 a day for 2 weeks leading up to my AF & they were all BFN then the day my AF was due I did one & got a BFP....all that money spent & got BFP on my AF due day :banghead:

[mummalisciousto3]

With all 5 of my pregnancies I tested the day my period was due, and would get a positive straight off and would do a second test the next day to confirm :)
