Not sure when to test?

[Jenjen85]

Ok so Af was due yesterday/today but so far I have had nothing, normally I get a little brownish discharge (sorry tmi) I have had a few niggles which I have put down to period pain but I have nothing other than that. I have read that it could be implantation but when would the best time to test be? Do I need to wait until I'm a few more days late? I was going to buy a test at lunch but what does everyone think?

Hi janey!
Jen they do say to test using FMU as it is more concentrated and less likely to give a false negative but I'm sure there must come a point when the pg hormone is so strong that it gives a positive anytime of day. Again if it was me I'd buy a pack of 2 and POAS now and again in the morning if necessary!!

Ha ha thanks ladies, I'm going to get one at lunch then do it tonight or should I wait until tomorrow morning?

I agree with happy (hi happy!) - if my AF was due I would def be Ping-OAS.... Good luck!

Hi jen. It really depends on what test you are going to use. Most tests won't show up anything until AF is actually due. But the more sensitive ones like FRER you can use up to 4 or 5 days before. I would definitely test ASAP but then I've got no patience/willpower whatsoever! Good luck!
