Glow telling me to take a preg. test?

Question

Please see my log below. Glow is telling me to take a pregnancy test today, but as you can see I'm not supposed to get my period until Monday. Is it because it has been 2wks since initial intercourse? Should I wait until Tuesday ("missed" period)? Or should I do it in the morning like glow is telling me? I don't want BFN. ​

Answer

I wanted to update and tell you that I didn't get my period on Sunday and I haven't shown any signs of getting it today either. I have decided to wait until Friday to test again because I want to make sure my period isn't just getting wacky on me. I'm trying not to psyc myself out too much..... Fingers crossed!!!.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer

Do you really only have a seven day luteal phase??

Answer

Amanda do you temp and use opks? Your luteal phase is extremely short--has your doc or you ever brought this up? Normally you need at least a 10 day luteal phase, any less than that can indicate a hormonal imbalance. How many months have you been using glow? Does the 7 day luteal phase Glow has predicted seem correct?

Answer

I checked off taking ba test for shits and immediately got this as an insight.... You told me to test early. ​

Answer

Update: BFN when testing early as Glow requested. Discouraged but expected... Hopefully Tuesday?

Answer

I believe the reason why Glow says you can take that test is there are two days left till your next AF, and normally there are 14 days in ones luteal phrase (between Ovulation and AF) which puts one on 12dpo today. But in your case, you have a short cycle and a short luteal phase accordingly. You were only 6dpo when you posted this thread, and it is too early to see a bfn. Don't worry, test in a few days if AF doesn't show. GL!

Answer

I have no idea why it would tell you to test, but many brands like first response can possibly give you a BFP up to 5 days before your period is due. Are you charting your bbt? If so that could be an indicator.

Answer

Our cycle is one day off, I'm due af Tuesday, and glow has also told me to take a test, I got a BFN so maybe wait until Sunday :) early pregnancy tests will be sensitive enough to pick it up if you are now though :)

Answer

I believe you and I are on around the same cycle and Glow told me the same thing. It seemed like it was saying that if I HAVE to test early, today is the absolute earliest I could test with any hope of a positive. 
​I know these programs always suggest waiting until after a missed period...because that's realistic. [eyeroll]
