Test?

Question

Ok so I'm due to start the 11th. I've had cramping and headaches really badly since a few days after ovulation. I took two tests at seven days and six days before my period, and both were negative. Should I even bother testing again?

Answer

I'd wait. And this is coming from a pee on a stick addict. Seriously. A little over six years trying. Finally got pregnant in June last year. Miscarried in July. Every month since then I've tested from 9 dpo and on hoping to catch a faint something. Especially since I always have "signs" and "symptoms." This is the one month I've decided not to test until either the day of or the day after. Not before. I'm done testing before. It wastes so much money and breaks my heart every time. Not worth it. I'd wait. (FYI cool little fact, I'm due the 11th too!) Fingers crossed for you.

Answer

Even though tests say they can pick up five days before your missed period, not everyone's hcg gets high enough by then. Additionally if you don't know when you ovulated or how regular your period is its hard to predict when to take the test. My doctor told me to wait until my period was a few days late before testing. Being impatient I tested 2 days before my period was due(knowing when I ovulated) I got a very faint line. Sounds like your testing to early, if your period doesn't come next week take a test agin :)
