Hi Im a newbie as well and my question is.... (I have one child already and had a m/c 5 yrs ago)

Day 1 of my period was 17 June.
LH surge (by test strip) 26 & 27 July.

My periods are irregular ranging anywhere between 21 and 60 days. I am having preg symptoms, dizzy, nausea, fatigue etc etc I really do feel preg most of time. Yesterday the OPK tested positive again (I know its not an hcg test but....) but the HCG tested negative this morning.

Ahhhh its driving me bonkers I am addicted to the tests and cant stop doing them. When would be reasonable to start testing for pregnancy? Please help its driving me mad and my partner keeps laughing saying I am just obsessive. Anyway advice would be good many thanks

Welcome to the forum, and fingers crossed for you! Are you temping as well? If you're pretty sure you ovulated just after 26th/27th, I'd start testing 2 weeks after that. Good luck x

Thanks so much to you both. No not doing temp yet. So I should start testing 2 weeks after lh surge? Ok thats good news as I tested AGAIN this morning and it was negative again. Mamafy do you think I should start testing after 22nd July? sorry to be asking again just wanted to be clear in my head. Still no AF today xxx

9dpo is the earliest you could try and test from but is not advised for sanity reasons if testing negative try and leave further tests to at least 2 days apart if you must

Welcome to the forum & good luck
