Hi, I'm new on here! Was hoping someone would be able to give me some advice.
My last period was on the 25th of March, and my dp and I had been dtd every other day or so around my regular ovulating time.
In the last week or so I've noticed my boobs getting bigger and a little sore (I thought I was going crazy when i noticed the size increase until dp pointed it out also) I've been going through days where i'm totally exhausted and then get insomnia at night. I have noticed i'm more moody and been feeling a bit sick in the stomach (I'm not sure if this is generally associated with it, but I had a temperature the other day, found out when I went to the docs because I threw a sickie at work and needed a certificate and he just happened to take my temp). In the last 24 hours I've had a fair bit of pain in my tummy, not the same as regular AF pain.
I'm due for AF on the 22nd, so really only 3 days to wait and see if i'm late, I have a 28 day cycle that always runs like clockwork. I'm not sure if these symptoms are just associated with something else or if I could be pregnant..
Is it too early to test? Shoudl I just wait it out?
It is not "too early" to test - some women DO get a positive test on the 10th or 11th day after ovulation, but if you DID get a negative it might not be the truth. Because the hormones usually take a few days after implantation to build up enough to give you a positive test a negative today might not mean anything...
So if you can take the results with a pinch of salt (i.e. not get upset if it's a negative) then by all means test! If you're nervous about seeing a negative, maybe wait and see if AF shows herself in the next few days and if not then do a test then.
FWIW i never got a positive until AF was 4 days late, though i'd O'd later than usual that cycle.
