When to test?

[ukchick]

Hi ladies, looking for some advice.

I am still all very new to TTC and if I am honest not as read up as I should be.

As far as I know I am now 10DPO ovulating on CD10 of 26 day cycle ( usually, sometimes 27)

Anyway, I am not sure when I should test or what tests are best to use, if the early tests are good or not?

Any help would be grately appreciated

Xx

some tests will pick up the hormone 6 days before ur due, but will only pick it up if u have produced alot of the hormone.

id recomend waiting till at least the day its due to allow time for the hormone levels to increase

any tests will work i always use cheapies never had a prob

Thanks for this really appreciate it, it's just that waiting and you feel a wee bit crazy lol

I keep thinking I am having symptoms then I think wait is it in my head? So not sure which it is...

It's really difficult when symptoms of AF approaching are much the same. What kinda symptoms are normal about this time? I think the thing I have noticed most is how very tired I am. Mind u I have been shattered and the finding myself wide awake at 3 in the morning ! Sore boobs and some cramping which has stopped now. I felt like I maybe had some kinda bladder infection which made me laugh cause that apparently can make u very tired. As I said though that pain has gone now. Had some headaches at the weekend but I am not sure if it should be really significant symptoms if I am...like I said it's probably in my head... :s

its not certain u will get symptoms, i didnt get anything like sore boobs etc, the only reason i knew was i missed a period, by wk7 sickness then started,again not everyone gets morning sickness

so never worry urself about what symptoms u are n are not getting

I think at your stage I was getting the sore boobs, increase in CM, tugging sensations in my lower abdomen, off my food and tiredness.
I got my first BFP on a tesco own brand, and I think that this was 11 or 12 dpo x

I got the headaches about 4/5 dpo, but it didnt click thats what it was.

Again, a very early symptom for me 1st and 2nd time was food cravings... no1 was steak and sushi, 2nd was crabsticks and chinese sweet and sour!!! lol!!

I got them as early as 7dpo, again though, i had no idea till after my and i was like "Oh yeah... that makes sense!"

ha ha great cravings!

Well I went to tesco tonight and bought a couple of tests but am going to try and hold off as long as I can...should not have bought them they are hard to resist!

That sounds crazy lol

I have been having really bad mood swings the last couple of days my poor family, I keep stopping and saying I am sorry I think the frustration has a lot to do with that...

Ok so I think I will just hang around here and chat with everyone hopefully keep me from POAS lol!
