how long after sex can you test???

[EmilyandLola]

blah blah, just a quick question, we are TTC - having sex regularly , cycle everywhere however and don't know when last or next period was or should be? So from conception when can I test?

I had this trouble, with never knowing when AF due, therefore also not knowing when might have ovulated. Started taking Basal body temperature, so I had some idea when to expect AF - also helped with TTC, as knew exactly when pg!

Anyway, AF should come between 10-16 days after ovulation. so if you've had sex around ovulation and been successful, you should be about to test about 2 weeks later. However, be warned that in some cases people don't get positive results until much later, up to 21 days after ovulation, so don't be disheartened.

There's a great thread on conception called temp buddies, should you wish to take your temp to find out what is going on with your body - I found it very liberating to feel as if I had some control over my body!

Good luck!!
