When to test?

I started doing OPK’s 3 months ago and each time I have started spotting exactly 5 days after ovulation. I’m now on 9 dpo with no spotting. I woke up throwing up during the night on Friday and have been nauseous since. Though I fear I could be imagining it and I REALLY don’t want to get my hopes up as we’ve been trying almost a year. So the question is when should I test??

Hi with me implantation happened at 7dpo and I tested at 9dpo and got my positive albeit a faint line, I was very impatient but if I were you I would test today but as you are not using fmu I would limit my fluid intake and hold your urine for at least 3 hours or just wait until morning, bear in mind even if its negative try again a few days later as we all implant at different times. Let us know how you get on. X

I
Know there will be some women out there who said they were sick straight away, but I think you'll find most pregnancy related sickness does t start until after your af is due, at 5-7 weeks pregnant, just don't want you getting your hopes up xx

I would test now with a First Response early results test if it were me.

@sarahc336 thanks that’s what I thought and that the sickness is probably just a coincidence!

@MarshmallowsOnToast @Ele38 we are going out for dinner with our family soon so I might test tonight or first thing tomorrow! I don’t like testing as I can’t deal with the disappointment. Will let you know how I get on!

Yeah sorry to sound negative but we've all been there haven't we Blush convinced ourselves a symptom is defo a pregnancy symptom and then af shows up. Good luck though I hope you get your bfp very soon!! Smile

Oh yes i know it’s so hard not to imagine/wish it is pregnancy symptoms. Regardless of the outcome, I’m taking this as a positive as it’s the longest luteal phase iv had so far!

Oh in that case then that is a good sign!!! Maybe it is good news and the sickness was just in related Smile

Unfortunately I have started spotting which means I’m out. Really gutted but on to the next month and at least I made it to 10dpo this time!

It could be implantation bleeding. When is af due?

One app says yesterday and the other says Saturday. Unfortunately I’m pretty sure it’s AF as spotting is normal for me ☹️

I think a luteal phase of 10 days can be seen as normal, have you spoke to anyone about your concerns? Xx

No I haven’t spoken to anyone yet, I was tested for PCOS a few months back but the tests came back fine. It will be one year in March so I might go to the GP soon. This is the first time iv made it to 10dpo without spotting so I feel a little bit of comfort knowing I have had what counts as a normal luteal phase!

Yeah I'd maybe get it looked at as can't early spotting be related to low progesterone?? Hmm xx

Yes that’s what iv heard so I’m going to speak to the GP about it. So I’ve had what I think was my period but has been very different to all of my other periods. Not enough to fill even 1/4 of a light tampon. I’m pretty sure it was a period though but part of me is so hopeful it’s implantation bleeding. I suppose I’ll find out next month 🤷🏻‍♀️
