When should I test?????

[cp1538]

I am still in my first cycle while having used clomid and prevestor. On days 11-13 of my cycle I tested positive with ovulation kits. On days 19-20 of my cycle I had spotting. It freaked me out a little. Didn't know why I was spotting. It was dark looking most of the time. I stopped after 2 days though. Today is day 24 of my cycle. I haven't had any more spotting or anything. My back has been hurting the past 3-4 days, but I think I pulled it while painting.... so I think it's most likely unrelated to my cycle. I went to the doctor on day 21 of my cycle to test for verification that I ovulated. I'm wondering how long I have to wait to pee on a stick. I'm dying to know if I'm pregnant, but I don't know if I can test before my missed period..... It's so disheartening to get a negative result on a pregnancy test, but yet at the same time it is all I can think about while I sit here waiting. Could I test today and have there be a chance of it sensing the hormone if I am pregnant? Or should I wait till Sunday. It would be day 29 of my cycle. What should I do??????

I decided to test this morning, and it was negative. I don't know if I'm just not pregnant or if I tried too soon :( This just sucks.

Hi cp1538,

I just wanted to tell you I am in my first Clomid cycle too. I took 50mg on days 3-7 and FF says I O'ed on day 17.  I'm 12 dpo now and took a test yesterday and it was negative. Talk about devastating! So I am RIGHT there with you. I am having cramping and have for the last couple days so I'm hoping that's implantation, but of course I'm not sure. I'm scared to test again because I have been in such a bad mood today from testing negative yesterday.  :(  I'm on day 29 today.

This does suck.  I just wanted to say you are not alone.  I hope that both of us just tested early.  There's nothing more I want than a baby and I'm going to be devastated if I'm not pregnant now (I know you probably feel the same way).

((HUGS!!))

Thanks adorable!!!!! That meant a lot to me! It's so hard to not feel alone in this! You're words were an encouragement to me! I hope we both just tried too soon!!!!!!!!! Today is day 27 for me.... I have decided not to test again. If I don't start my next cycle by 32 then I am supposed to get a blood test to see. I am totally there with you on being in a horrible mood after something like this! I just want to cry and scream all at the same time. It takes me a couple of days to get out of that funk....
