When should I start testing?

My boobs started hurting recently which has only ever happened when I've actually ovulated on the medicated cycles (well and one other 'natural' cycle in 5 years) . So, I'm guessing I ovulated. This is HUGE for me.. Anyway, my best guess is that I O'ed on cd 55 (last Tues). I had some minor spotting that day and boobs started hurting on Saturday, so 4ishDPO which is about when they hurt after the couple medicated cycles where I actually ovulated.

Timing was relatively decent with BD on CD53 and 54.

I'm ok with false (or real) bfn simply bc I wasn't even expecting to O, but I still don't want to test way too early. And I don't want to wait for AF.

WWGP do? I'm 9dpo today IF I O'ed on CD55.

I don't have high hopes, (heck i dont even know that i actually DID ovulate! but who knows. I nothing else, maybe it means after 5 years I am finally "regulating" (lolz at that word!)

In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

Re: When should I start testing?

  • I'm a pee pusher, so I say test whenever you want! I'd start tomorrow if you're sure you're okay with potentially having a BFN.

  • I'd prob wait at least a few more days. I don't like to test before 14 dpo, but you're excited and might not be able to wait that long. But even 10dpo is pretty early for a BFP even if you ARE pg.

  • Perhaps your body finally figured out the ovulation schedule.

    I'd wait until 14dpo, but I'm not much of a pee-pusher.

    No I don't think you really do.

    I'm in a bitchy mood so take it for what it is worth but I can't stand when people say ' I know how you feel, I feel your pain, I feel the same.' No you don't. You've been here for 5 months, stay for 5 years (I hope you don't)
    She's been TTC for over a year and doesn't O on her own. She was simply commiserating with RAB on this point.

    Oh wow. @mathgal1025 That was quite rude. I was only relating to the fact of her not Oing.  I do not O on my own, and the 1 time I did it was on day 72 of a 90 day cycle. So I feel her pain of going for months without Oing, then it finally happening in a long cycle.  In no way was I relating to her pain about anything else.

    @luckyangel07 Thank you for sticking up for me. I really appreciate it.
