My last period was May 8th. I had sex on my fertil / ovulation day 20, 21, and 22. How soon can I test? What are the odds of me being pregnant vs not?

What can I do next?

I always got a positive test on 10 DPO. No earlier than that, personally.

So if you ovulated on the 20th, you should be able to see a positive result. If on the other days, not yet.

Wait u til you see if ou miss your period! I am so glad in my days we did not have these nome tests. Has to be a LONG nine months. We were never confirmed until around 10 weeks.

Not sure about your odds of being pregnant or not but with all three of my pregnancies, I tested on Day 28 from beginning of last menstrual cycle. Anything before that (I tested a week earlier with this pregnancy) and it was negative.

I would test on the 9th of June - if your period does not arrive.

If you test before then - you are wasting money, in my book.

Odds of being pregnant? Don't know. It's about timing...things going on in your life - stress, etc. that affect ovulation and conception.

I've always just waited til I was late. Not worth the anxiety. As far as odds, it takes an average of 5 months to get pregnant, of course that varies from woman to woman. It's best to wait and see what happens and not stress over it. Good luck!

I would think it would be best to you miss a period.

Not sure how long your cycles are. My ovulation days were earlier than that.
