Can I test yet?

Came off the pill 4 weeks ago, not to conceive, had a small 2 day withdrawal bleed almost straight away. Had unprotected sex last Friday night (not the one just gone), so can I test yet, it's just a sneaking feeling that I have that I might get a BFP (which actually I don't want) but do I try now, or wait a few more days?

TIA

I would think it is too early. I think even the early testing kits only pick up a positive a few days before af is due.

The body can do lots of things to trick you, so hopefully you've got unexplained symptoms due to stopping the pill?

bratnav · 25/02/2008 13:15

There aren't reazlly symptoms as such, just a nagging feeling at the back of my head....

Womans intuition. Sometimes it's great, and sometimes it's just a worry.

If af hasn't arrived in 2 weeks, I would think about testing.

bratnav · 25/02/2008 13:21

2 weeks from now??? I think I will have exploded if it isn't here by Friday

You would be astonishingly lucky to be pregnant so quickly. Happens, but not often.

duchesse · 25/02/2008 13:25

Sorry, have just read your message properly. You would be astonishingly unlucky to be pregnant so soon after pill, and the first month of unprotected sex. Chances are your hormones are still everywhere.

bratnav · 25/02/2008 14:01

thanks duchesse, I know the odds are very low, but they were when I got pg last time, 1 incident in 6 months

so its been 12 days since you had unprotected sex? I tested 11 DPO and got a postive. You may get a negitive though.

SparklyGothKat · 25/02/2008 14:05

BTW I fell pregnant with DS1 the first week after coming off the pill. And Dd2 was a one night slip.

You are meant to be much much more fertile when you have just come off your pill.

If you get an early response test you'll probably get a true answer.

bratnav · 25/02/2008 14:23

I have a clearblue in the cupboard from a while ago, do you think that would work?

OP posts:
kayzisbroody · 25/02/2008 14:29

If its still in date, if they have use by dates that is

bratnav · 25/02/2008 14:50

yes it's one of a 2 pack I bought a few months ago

OP posts:
kayzisbroody · 25/02/2008 14:52

I'm sure it will be fine, but I think if you are testing early you have to use the first morning wee.

bratnav · 25/02/2008 14:52

thanks kay, will keep you all posted
