I know normally you can test up to 4 days before your missed period or the day of missed period.

on 3.12.07 me and dh dtd and he ejaculated. We have not had sex before this date since last af. My af is due on the 19th when should I test? Should I wait untill I miss my period or give it a few extra days to test? If I did get pregnant, 7 days before af I should still expect to miss my af on the 19th what if I miss af on 19th but test is negitive...Should I retest a few days later?

I hate TTC its so nerve wrecking.
Baby dust to you all!!!!

I think I have spent hundredsof dollars on test and other ovulation testers in these last nine months of TTC. What I would do is wait until you are 2-3 days late for AF and then test. I have a big problem with not waiting lol. If you can you will save yourself $$ and the heartache of a negative test once again. It is a little easier when Af arrives. its not in front of you saying NOT PREGNANT. =0) Hope I helped. I feel you on this though.
