Q: How Soon Do I Test?

Alright here's the deal.
My boyfriend and I are ttc. I recently went of of the pill on 9/11. I have had my period twice this month. The first time 9/11-9/16, this one was normal. The second time was 9/20-9/25, this one was really light and was pinkish and mucus like(day1-3) then it changed to brownish and thick(day3-4) then really red and heavy(day 4-5). I was scheduled to ovulate on 9/22 - 9/27. We ttc on the 23, 24, 25, 28.
I was scheduled to have my period today. How soon should I test to get an accurate result?

Please reply!!

Baby dust to all those ttc xoxo

Depends on the tester u r using. It is always good to wait till 1 week after a missed period or atleast 2 weeks to have a confirmed answer.

I use first response as a hpt. I was supposed to start af today as of now I am feeling really sick to my stomach and I felt like I needed to puke all night and it just won't come out :( it feels like heartburn. I am really tired now too. I am now just hoping. I plan on testing on oct. 16th (my birthday) it would be a great suprise to find out I was. Girls throw me some baby dust.

Xoxo

You can test now...Just beware that since you just went off the pill, your cycles can sometimes be totally messed up. When I went off I didnt get my period for two months, had it one and then after that found out I was pg. Good luck!
