Can I just ask all you experts......how early in my cycle can I do a test? I have regular 28 day cycles. We are not TTC but DH just announced at breakfast that he thinks I'm pregnant (again) .Any particular brand of test that you would recommend? It needs to be one I can get in Boots or supermarket - cant wait to get one online. I'm now a bit anxious....well guess you know how it is????

I did a First Response and Boots digital test at cd24 (28 day cycle). Was stunned to get a bfp! However, with dd didn't get a bfp until cd 29, one day late and know of others who haven't got a bfp until a week after af due. Suppose a lot depends on when you are ov in your cycle....good luck

Arabica - can I assume that your going decaf means you are pregnant? Or are you just doing a healthy eating thing?

I liked the Boots test (not Boots digital) which worked 2 days before my period was due.

I might be Ok then Twiglett as I ovulate on day 10 (normally). But might be irregular because of the BF. Would you recommend First Reponse as well?

Rickman - are you male or a fan of Alan?

10 days post ovulation is earliest (but some tests still won't pick that up)

misdee · 15/01/2005 10:52

Samantha28 · 15/01/2005 10:52

Its much more embarrasing than that .
Anyway, stop hijacking my thread ( she rants hormonally) - is day 25 too early to test??? I don't want to waste my £10 but am too nervous to wait til Tuesday

OP posts:
jampots · 15/01/2005 10:50

Frizbe - can you think back to a pre-xmas event around the time of suffering?

misdee · 15/01/2005 10:50

Oh no, nothing as straightforward as wind. I have a baby remember, so have no shame about discussing pee and poop.

Frizbe · 15/01/2005 10:49

Misdee it was bfore....just can't remember when...argh!

jampots · 15/01/2005 10:48

Well I can't tell jampot because i'm...ahem.... breastfeeding

OP posts:
jampots · 15/01/2005 10:47

ok so lets guess then:

something to do with windies or poopies?

You've turned into a raging bundle of hormones?

misdee · 15/01/2005 10:46

No don't make me tell, its too embarassing. I am already embarassed enough at the thought of an unplanned pregnancy. I am old enough to know better

my first suspicion that I may be pregnant with ds was that my nipples were turned brown suddenly, like leaves changing in autumn.
