My last period was 11th to 15th August.

On the 26th August I had transparent stretchy cervical mucus.

Me and my partner have been dtd frequently, hopefully enough 🙈

I have been using OPK's but unsure when I ovulated exactly.

I have been having some mild cramping today.

Next period due 8th September.

When should I test?

Thanks!

You could test from next week but prolly best to wait and see if your period comes. If it doesn't, test for an accurate result. Good luck 🤞🏻

8th September.

9th september if your period doesn’t show up.

@PotteringAlong @YouBoggleMyMind @Garman

Thank you, I have the First Response Early Result Tests, I can test with those sooner than when my period is due can't I?

Not sure I can wait till the 8th 😆

I'd still wait for another 5-6 days at least but that's just me. I'm old and bitter with fertility issues 😂

@YouBoggleMyMind I will hold out till Sunday and in the mean time try not to symptom spot 🤞

You can test earlier, but it just makes it more stressful and risks the disappointment of a chemical pregnancy.

@Garman I'm going to hold out till the weekend, don't want to feel disheartened by testing too early!
