Is it too early?
Would you test? Im on cd 25 of a 29 day average cycle.
Had a chemical last.month so wondering if it's worth knowing early so if it is a chemical i can keep track?

This is my third month trying for second baby. Am 31.

What do you think?

For me, I wouldn't. If something goes wrong so early that I haven't even missed a period, I'd rather not know. If it helps you to know, though, do it. There's no right or wrong answer.

Thanks sqeaky I was 5 days late last month. Got two positives and then a string of negatives.

Hi Mama

That's exactly like me- I am CD25 today of an average 29 cycle.

I hardly ever test unless I'm late!

Did do a test the other day on CD23- but that was due to madness induced by others pregnancy announcements and the birth of a close friend's baby (no, didn't make any sense to me either why I did it!)

So I should be having my period next Wednesday- I don't think i would test before, only have the cheap PTs at home so anything would likely not show up before a late period.

Have never bought one of those sensitive early PTs (am too tight for that!)

turquoise how many cycles are you on?

I may test for the thrill of it Grin

I'm TTC on cycle 10 after MMC at the dating scan last summer- I don't really test at all as I've kind given up any hope of being pregnant, despite the endless amounts of unprotected sex!
