Babies on the Brain

Test early or wait...?

My period is due in 3 days but I'm not having any of the regular symptoms. I usually have some back pain and cramping the week before. So far, my breasts are just a little sore and I've been tired and emotional (will start to cry at almost anything). My husband and I did have unprotected sex around the time I should have been ovulating. I'm just not sure if I should get the early HPT or wait until after Sunday when it's due... just a little anxious to know.

Re: Test early or wait...?

  • My advice is to wait, but that is easier said than done. If you really want to test, go pick up a few from the dollar store so you aren't out a lot of money and you have some on hand for the future.

  • I don't have any patience either. I wind up POAS too early because I'm eager to find out.

  • Decided to POAS today. This is a new experience for me because my cycle was really irregular when I conceived my daughter so I didn't know I was pregnant for almost 8 weeks. I'm definitely excited :)

  • Test was negative :(

    We weren't planning it but I'm sad because I really want more children.  Though, my husband is just relieved. Which makes me a bit more sad and disappointed...

    You're not not pregnant until you have your period.  However, I'd get on the same page with your husband before you go planning an ooopsie baby.  It looks like this is a great moment to figure out what you both really want because bringing a baby into a house where only one parent really wants another one does not lend itself to a happy home.

  • He does want children, he just doesn't feel like he's ready yet. It would be my second child and his first. Though, we did decide that we would start seriously "getting ready" for a another child. I know he would be happy about a baby, just feel unprepared.
