When should I POAS?

in June 2011 Moms
So I just kinda just stopped taking BC before my last week of active pills.  Sure enough the day after I stopped I got a full blown AF.  Haven't seen it since. This was June 2nd.  Weve DTD at least a couple times a week since.  I have no idea when I ovulated but I have had EWCM over the past couple of weeks.  I know there's a chance my body is still getting back into the groove but I know it's possible I'm KU since it happened with DS.  When would you test?  I'd run out to the drugstore, but don't want to waste money being tempted to test when it's too early! Wdyt?

    You're last period was June 2nd? What day is it? It's like the 21st?? Have you missed a period? I'm confused. I'd wait til after I missed a period to test.

    The answer to this question is always now.  :)

     

    If you are TTC, I suggest either stocking up on dollar store tests or cheapy ones from Amazon:

    That way you can test at any point you get a bee in your bonnet with no worries of $$.

    Ehh, It has only been 19 days...If you ovulate early you might get a positive, otherwise I would wait another week and test then.

    Yeah I'm confused too since stopping the pill mid cycle made my period come early. I was thinking I need to wait at least until the 2nd.  But I guess I'm fooling myself thinking I ovulated earlier since my cycle was messed up.

    Your period after you stopped BC may not have been a "real" period.  It may have just been your body adjusting to not taking BC any more. 

    I agree with Amber though.  The best time is now.  :)  

    GL!

    It's only been 19 days since your last period... no I wouldn't test until after you missed your next period... so 28 days on average 35 for me.

    I agree with Amber to get some internet cheapies or dollar store cheapies to keep on hand for when you want them but it would be wasted to POAS now.

    It's been 3 weeks. It could technically be possible for you to get a super early BFP if you ovulated right at day 14 or earlier but if you're not wanting to waste $$, I'd wait at least 5 more days to test. And even then, it'd still be pretty early. Wait..I just redid the math...you could potentially be 5 DPO, that's too early. But I stick with waiting at least 5 more days. Lots of ladies on TB get a BFP at 10 DPO (but that's assuming you O'ed on day 14 which you can't be sure of coming off the pill right away).

    Thanks ladies...I'll see I can wait another week or two.  I should probably cut down on the wine consumption too.  I've been enjoying my Pinot grigio in this warm weather!

    Agree with others that it's probably too early to test. Unless you O'd super early, like day 9 of your cycle early, you probably couldn't get a positive test even if you're pregnant. I'd wait at least another week.

    1.  The ladies are right.  The chances of you getting a positive even if you are pregnant right now are slim.  

    2.  BUT, I was obsessed with testing.  I Oed on day 12 and got my BFP on like 9 DPO.  I created my ticker that day and it said like 3 weeks pregnant.

    3.  I started testing at 7 DPO  (just like I did the 2 previous months) because I wanted to.  I was excited and wanted to test.  I wasn't in the place where every negative test was devastating (I know some women get there after trying for a long time), so no harm done.  

    4.  So if you want to test, test :)  It made me feel better.  That's why I got the pack from Amazon.
