I am not entirely sure when I ovulated. I used the clear blue OPKs and got a smiley face on the 25th Jan so I'm guessing it was around that time. AF is due on Thursday, is it too early to test now? I keep imagining symptoms and its driving me mad!!!!

So assuming you ovulated on the 26th you would be 9DPO today. While some people do get a BFP that early it's unusual. Sensible advice would be to wait until Wed or Thu if you could. (Internally I am shouting TEST TEST TEST!) Depends on how many tests you have and if you're prepared to waste some over the next few days. Personally I can always justify POAS provided its a cheapie. Keep us posted [excited]!

Read this thread first on why early testing isn't a good idea
It has a good link to a study on early testing too.

Sorry don't mean to be a party pooper but getting a faint BFP early only to then get AF on time due to a chemical pregnancy is heartbreaking.

Thank you chocolate, that's good advice I will try to wait as long as I can. Thank you

Ah, the wise words of Lissie :)

Yes, early testing is a bad idea. I tested two days before I expected AF (I was about 14dpo) and I felt like I couldn't breathe for two days waiting to see if AF arrived as normal/late with it resulting in a chemical pregnancy. It's difficult, but restraint and patience are your friend in the circumstances. Sit on those hands until AF is due!

Seriously, op, don't do it. It's not worth it.

Hey you, luff the NN! How are you?!

I'm 29 weeks, rather rotund, shattered and can't wait to finish work and finally cuddle our baby - a girl, it seems! But I'm happy. Not having the worst of pregnancies so far! :)
