When do you take a pregnancy test?

I HATE the POAS process - hate everything about it. In the store buying it I feel like everyone is looking at me and KNOWS that I am just kidding myself. I never know when to do them because my monthly "cycle" (not much of a cycle - more of a mess) has ranged from 33 to 44 days in the last 7 months! Still sometimes I just can't help myself and I end up disappointed again. Currently on CD43 and have already done two (both BFN needless to say). Did an OPK which said I was due to ovulate around CD19 which means I either didn't ovulate at all or I have some kind of super-human luteal phase. Then again maybe both tests were wrong and I am PG...who am I kidding!!!!

i'm paranoid, so if i am 3 days late, i'm ready to get out my pg test. my hubby says i go through them like water! not on birth control, don't want to get on that stuff again. so i track.

Ok I have two children, and I have taken the pregnancy test very soon after I had missed my period.Well I have been very nauseous for the past week but more so the last three days. I am one day late, I am very sick right now...have not been throwing up yet but need to, EEekk This was not planned, that is why I am thinking that I could just be sick. So I am going to wait this out and see. This time I will see if my period comes and if not I will now I need to go see the DOC. So I think that I will test on Fri if I have not tested sooner (you know it is stressful when you were not anticipating being prego.) My Hubby is going to FREAK!!!!!(if I am pregnant)

I am such a psycho that I am supposed to start on the 9th of July and I took a prego test on june 29....hello you can not tell. My boobs started to hurt so I thought, maybe......!!!! Moron! Relax, take it when you are able to. Get a two pack pregnancy test, take one when you are late or as early as it says you can, and the other one to two weeks later.

love crazy waiting hopefully pregnant, find out in 2 weeks girl

We have been TTC for 2 years now!! Very frustrating! After being on the pill for 3 months then stopped and I got pg with my 1st, but now like I said, it's been 2 years and MANY MANY negative pregnancy tests!!

I was very irregular, but now for the last 3 months have started the 26th...now I am waiting for the 26th to roll around...I am normally an early tester, but back in January, I quit taking HPT, b/c it was always such a diappointing experience!! I would cry and be so mad!!

Then my SIL got pregnant and is 11 weeks along...she has known that we have been trying for 2 years, so to hear she got pg right away was REALLY hard to take! I am angry and frustrated and sad, I have so many emotions running through me! I am feeling very negative too. my pants are fitting a little tighter and I am peeing more...could it be? (I doubt it, its just bloating I'm sure.) i would be in 7th heaven! I so long to be PG!!!

I agree with all those who say wait to test, it's not worth it unless you are almost positive that you are pg, b/c most times it is just our emotions making us feel liker we're pg! Everytime I took the test early, I would get my period the next day. Sorry, I don't mean to be so negative! Just how I feel.

The TTW is absolute torture. I keep telling myself to just wait until I am late, since I had a chemical pregnancy and had told all my family and friends, only to lose it. I don't want to go through that disappointment again, but on the other hand, I want to know if I am pregnant right away, and if it ends up being another chemical pregnancy, then I want to get some answers as to why this keeps happening to me. But, I will definitely wait to tell my family and friends if I do get a BFP this time just to be sure. I usually start testing about 3 days before AF is due. I haven't had any luck with the dollar store brands, even when I was pregnant, those never showed a positive for me. The only ones that worked were First Response, Answer, and Clearblue Digital. Anyone else had no luck with the dollar ones?
