Can I test in the evening if AF didn't arrive today?

AF is either screwing with my head or...

I'm usually a regular as clockwork 28 day cycle. Today is day 29. OPK gave me the smiley face and all was good.

If I go to the pharmacy on my way out tonight can I test this evening or do I need to wait until the morning? I so want to know (and have a BFP)!

I wouldn't have the patience! If you are already late for af I am sure a positive would show in the evening

I think I will wait... just in case AF decides to arrive in the morning (she always comes first thing in the morning for me).

Main symptom is incredible bloating the last two days. Driving me nuts - my jeans are so tight! Been getting headaches the last two mornings also...

Yes of course just buy a 2 pack and check again in the morning if you get negative.
I got my bfp in the evening as I bought the test on the way home from work and have no patience Blush

I am on the same cycle day as you (tho I can often be 2 or 3 days late so don't want to get my hopes up!) I always test first thing in the morning when the hormones are strongest. Have you had any symptoms? Hope you get your BFP.

I'd personally wait until the morning. If it's a BFN you'll just end up wondering whether it's just because you tested in the evening.
