How soon can I POAS?

[MTBMummy]

Hi all, think I might finally be pg, but I'm not due my period for another week. I have purchased First Response, but it's really not 100% clear of how soon I can use it.

For the last two weeks I've been nauseous, have swollen sore boobs, headaches, feeling bloated and have a continual metallic taste in my mouth. All which I believe should be good signs, but this morning nothing... except for slightly larger boobs, I want to know if I am or I am not

My periods are fairly messed up and I often skip a month or go from a 28 day to a 36 day cycle without any obvious reason behind it.

Although I already have DD this is all a bit new to me, as I was 14 weeks before I discovered I was pregnant with her.

Tricky one if you've been having symptoms for a fortnight and have irregular cycles. When was your last period? Any idea when you ovulated?

My last period was on the 15th Jan, and we've been dtd every 2-3 days, but really couldn't tell you when I ovulated, using rough maths (based on averaging my cycles over a year it would have been around the 6th Feb, but really couldn't say for certain

I thought it was 3 days prior to expected menstrual date but am not 100%. I took a Clearblue test a day before my period was due which pinged up very quickly!

But there's a link here that may help? Not sure if this is the brand you used:

BTW - thanks Having for replying

Is it a first response early response? They say they are about 60% accurate from 6 days but I'd try to hold off until you think your period is due. That's what I'd suggest (I actually got my BFP two days before AF was due!).

My last period was 11th Jan, 28 day cycle and I got my BFP about 2-3 weeks ago - I definitely think its worth you testing good luck!

Thanks - Will test tomorrow morning, please keep your fingers crossed for me, really really want this. :-)

Thanks Having - yeah it's the early response one - one of the reason I was holding off as they're £6 each - that makes me sound so tight

That's why I kept a statsh of the cheap ones I bought off the Internet and only ran out and bought FRER when I got fuzzy lines on the cheap ones! Ooh how exciting, testing tomorrow. I'll be here for the results! Hoping its a BFP! :)

Thanks - I did have a stash of the cheap ones, but they ran out and I picked up these.

Will be on tomorrow to let you know :-)

If your last period was 15th Jan, and your cycle is irregular 28-36 days, then you could already be 2 weeks late.

I hope you get the result you want.

I used FRER from about 9 days post ovulation and showed up with all my pregnancies (5 times, 3 mcs) , albeit very faintly, but definately there.
I hope you get the result you are after - best of luck. xx

Scaevola - I did test just before I thought my last period was due, but got nothing, but it's really not unusual for me to miss one or two months.

If I get a positive, I may go and get the ClearBlue one that tells you how far along you are - because I have no idea.

Thanks to everyone for the positive wishes

Hi all - tested this morning and nothing, maybe my hormones are all over the place.

Not that DP will complain to hear we're still trying :-)

:( sorry to hear that. With such an irregular cycle, I'd be considering retesting beginning of next week in your position.

Thanks - I will try that, and I might get the tests to check when I'm actually ovulating, because it's so hard to tell with my cycle

Although had to chuckle at DP's response, "sad - but yay I get to be used as a sex object more" (this was done by text as I leave for work an hour before he wakes up)
