PLEASE HELP! Do I test??

Tamara w. • Fri, Dec 26 • 30, 👦🏼 Sept 16 2013, 👼🏼 Oct 2014, 🌈👧🏼 March 04 2016, baby #3 due Nov 2018

So I've just realized that if I count my cycle as beginning from the day of my D&C (assuming it is a normal cycle) AF would be due Jan 1st. We started BDing exactly 1 week after the procedure and have been doing it regularly. I didn't bleed at all after the procedure. Here's my dilemma.. Do I test on Jan 1st if AF hasn't shown or do I wait longer to avoid unecessary disappointment? I know everyone is different but this is my first m/c so I don't know how to read my poor broken body.. Please help!!

I have just had my period after my miscarriage. It was 6 weeks after my m/c and 5 weeks after the D&C.Everyone is different, so it's hard to tell. I was told HCG will stay high for quite a while, so it is also possible to get a bfp from residual hormones.Practical advice would be to wait a touch longer, but we all know how hard that is! Wishing you all the best!!!

...I know I'd end up testing, but keep in your mind that a bfn might be a 'false' because it's too early to test.

It's such a horrible time, and there doesn't seem to be any answers because it is all so different....
