    Irregular cycle and testing

    I was sort of expecting AF today (day 31 of cycle), so I took a test, which was negative. My question is, I have an irregular cycle, the last 3 months it has come on day 31 but can vary from 30 to 38 days. AF has not come, I know it could either just be later this month or I could be pg but not high enough level to show up yet. How long should I wait to test again? It's going to be so tempting to test every day but it's such a waste of money and they don't come cheap! Should I just wait and see if AF comes? It's so hard!

    Oh it is hard....the anticipation is almost unbearable. I know when I have been in that position, I think about testing all the time. But you are right, it is expensive. Could you wait a week? (I know, it is an eternity) but that would bring you to day 38....Or, can you wait 2 days?!

    I wish you all the best, I hope you get your BFP

    Thanks. I'm going to try waiting five days...yikes. Going to have to try to keep myself distracted! This is only the second cycle my partner and I have been TTC, so it's all new and overwhelming. I'm betting AF will come tomorrow, so all this will be a bit pointless! Thanks for the well wishes.
