My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year now. I have had every fertility test done. My last test was an HPG, and my tubes were blocked. But my doctor managed to push the blockage out. She said that typically women get pregnant very soon after this procedure is done. My husband and I are very anxious to know if I am pregnant this month. My LMP was the 25th of October, and my doctor said just wait and be patient. But you can understand how "impatient" I am being, it has been so long. Now we actually have some hope, when for a while it was gone. We have 2 boys 4 and 6, and they have been saying that all they want for Christmas is a little sister. I have explained to them that they may not get a sister, but they are so excited. The strange part is, is that they don't even know that Daddy and I are trying to get a baby. They are just asking for a new one. Maybe because we have 4 new babies in the family and before that my 4 year old was the youngest. So, my question is...when should I take a test? And how do I be patient about something we have been waiting so long for?
SOOOOOO, Guess what? This is so ironic...I went to work last night and I ended up by slamming my wrist in the doors, and had to go to the ER. They asked me if I was pregnant, and I said "maybe", cause they wanted to do Xrays. So they did a blood test, and sure enough I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to everyone for the advice and support, my husband and I are beyond thrilled. Oh, yeah, and I did break my wrist. But I can't feel any pain, I am on cloud 9!!!!!
How long is your cycle. It is most likely to early to test. Some tests can tell you as early as 5 days before your missed period. But not much sooner then that. The only way to know this early is to call your doc and have a blood test to check your hcg levels. Otherwise, I'd wait till your period is due and test then.
Hi J.,
I have a ten month old son and am 11 weeks pregnant. I know it's tempting to take the tests that claim to be able to tell you 5 days before, but the truth is even those tests are very hard to read that early. I suggest you use the early detection tests but don't take it until the day you are supposed to get your period. If your LMP was OCt. 25 and you have a normal 28 day cycle, it should probably be November 22nd. However, I will tell you that with both my pregnancies I took the test on the day my period was due and the positive sign was so faint that i really wasn't sure. I then took it again the following day (1 day after my missed period) and the test was clear as could be. There was no doubt then. The reason why is because the pregnancy hormone the the test detect is so low in the beginning, but it goes up about every 48 hours, so if you don't get a positive reading or a very faint one just take it again a day or two later. Best of Luck!!!!
you could get the ept test maybe a two pack and do one tomorroe since its been almost 3 weeks since your period but if thi one is ngative i would wait until your supposed to get your period and wait at least until your a week late. thats my opinion anyhow good luck and may your children get their wish.
It's still really early to test, but you could. Even with the early response tests, I was late by 3 days and still got so faint a line I almost missed it. I know it's hard to be patient, we tried what felt like forever to get pregnant.
Hi J.. I also heard that if you are taking the test early to take it first thing in the morning when you first urinate so that you get the most hormmone...
I wish you the best. PLEASE tell us if you are or aren't...I'm also very curious now. We're rooting for you. :)
i was really eager to find out and tested at like 5 AM on the morning of the 28th day since my LMP, and there was a faint line!! :)
good luck.
