Too early to test?

[mammakatie]

Hey everyone! I haven't posted here in a long time...I need some advice on whether or not I should test RIGHT NOW...or wait a few days?

I do not chart my ovulation AT ALL, because DF and I have never TTC before...we are just letting things happen...I recently moved to the UK for the USA...when I lived in the USA, I got my periods like clockwork, on the first of every month and they lasted for 5-6 days...however, when I moved to the UK, they ended up coming on or around the 7th-9th of each month, and last about 5-6 days. WEIRD...

Anyway, its the 10th, almost the 11th of this month, and my period isn't showing any signs that it's on its way (light spotting, dull cramps...like I usually get) and I have had a bit of soreness on my right boob and also some light heartburn (which I never EVER get..plus I haven't changed my diet or eaten anything super-spicy or anything)...plus I have been SOOOOO moody lately, that it's actually really baffling me...

I have two pee sticks here with me, and I want to test RIGHT NOW, but I'm not sure if I've given my HGC levels a chance to build up yet...would it be better to wait a while longer to test, or go ahead and do it now?

I'M SO EXCITED!!! HALP!

Use one test. If it comes back negative, give it a week, if AF does not show, take the other test.

LIKELY* the current test will be accurate.

*depending on the sensitivity of the test and a few other things -
Assuming sensitivity of 25miu...
Assuming you ovulated at your normal time and you are a couple days past due for AF...
Assuming you are indeed pregnant...
Assuming you do not have anything keeping you from metabolizing hCG...

then you SHOULD get a BFP on the test now.

However, if you ovulated later than normal, you could get a BFN and still be pregnant, or not be pregnant and still get AF. (neither of these are reasons to worry)
And if your test only tests for 100miu its possible you have not built up enough hCG even if you are pregnant... but I do not know many that test that high anymore.
