Answer 1

Don't wait til you have missed one or two periods goodness gracious why would you wait that long, you want to get prenatal care as soon as you can the better. I would at least wait until you have missed your period. Although there are pregnancy tests that can detect the hormone 5 days before your missed period it can only detect a positive result in 69% of women and to be honest those test's aren't cheap so why waste the money just wait to see if you miss your period. Also the whole thing about stressing about it making it harder to conceive is a MYTH, although you can think about being pregnant so much that you can trick yourself into thinking you are pregnant. But thinking about becoming pregnant will not affect your chances, only disappoint you every month that it doesn't happen. So my advice to you is to just wait til you miss your period. The First Response home pregnancy tests are very sensitive, possibly the most sensitive on the market. They can detect the HCG hormone at 15mIU which is pretty low and really early in pregnancy, they have even been said to detect pregnancy's that later result in miscarriages because they are so sensitive. Women ovulate at different times if you ovulate early in your cycle your could very well test before your period is due and get a strong positive, but you could ovulate in the middle and get a faint positive on the day that you miss your period. but if you ovulate later on in your cycle then taking a test when you miss your period could give you a false negative, because conception occurs within 24 hours (that is when the egg is released and it must be fertilized before it's time period is over which is typically between 12-24 hours) then it takes anywhere from 5-10 days sometimes more for implantation to occur. So if you ovulate on day 22 of a 28 day cycle testing on the day you miss your period would give you a false negative if you did happen to conceive. Also try charting your basal body temperatures, cervical position, cervical mucus. I wouldn't recommend that Ovulation Predictor kits because they can detect an LH surge but that doesn't always mean that your body is going to release the egg at that time, certain things like stress at work, new diet and exercise, medications, moving can cause your body to delay a bit in ovulation and so therefor giving you a misleading idea of when you are ovulating, try the charting and the cervical position and fluid, that will give you a pretty good idea as to when you are fertile and when you are about to ovulate and when the best times to have sex are. Try getting this book Taking Charge of Your Fertility it is a very good book I picked it up at a book store for $25 and it has actually helped me a lot in better understanding my body. I wish you the best of luck and I hope some of the information I have given you was helpful to you, Good luck and Happy Holidays.

It is too soon to test, mine shouldn't be due except 8th feb, and that i will likely be waiting until the 10th as I are not able to have enough money the quantity of tests i will take if I testing before,so im just goingto wait! Nonetheless assessments lik First Response can become aware of the preg hormone as much as four days earlier than your interval is due, as they're very touchy. However they emerge as les correct the prior you test. They are saying ninety nine.9% accurate on the box however that's from the day your interval is due. Checking out 4 days earlier than is simplest about fifty six% accurate or some thing. If you do scan that soon and it's neg, wait until the day your interval is due and scan once more.

Answer 3

i would definitley try to stop tying so hard - a womans body actually has a hormone that when she is stressed out (like about getting prenant) that can actually stop the conception process. I know it is tough - but relaxing is the bet way to go about it. I would write a daily journal about how your body feels as you go through the process - it does help you notice any changes in your system that may lead to pregnancy.
Good luck and Happy Holidays to you too!

Answer 4

You can test 19 days after the day you think you became pregnant using a hpt.

A blood test will show way sooner like 7 days following conception.

Answer 5

it particularly is purely too quickly to attempt, mine isn't due until 8th feb, and that i'll be waiting until the 10th as i won't be able to arise with the money for the form of checks i'm going to take if I start up sorting out previously,so im purely goingto wait! in spite of the undeniable fact that checks lik First reaction can hit upon the preg hormone as much as 4 days previously your era is due, as they are very delicate. in spite of the undeniable fact that they substitute into les precise the quicker you are trying. they are saying ninety 9.9% precise on the field yet that's from the day your era is due. sorting out 4 days previously is barely approximately fifty six% precise or something. in case you do try that quickly and it particularly is neg, wait until the day your era is due and take a verify out lower back.

Answer 6

2 or 3 days before your expected period. seriously. because if you test before, then your body might not have enough of the preg. hormone in your system to actually show up on a test. (if you do get preg.)

Answer 7

7-15 days after. Good luck.

if your old enough to be married, you should be old enough to know this....not to mention that if you're really that ignorant, you shouldn't be attempting to raise a child.
