Waiting to try:when should i take pregnancy test

2005-02-11

Name: SK Hi Archie priya and all

I had detected my ovulation on 1st Feb.I have irregular periods as i have been telling.
I just wanted to know how long should i wait to take pregnancy test.I was thinking on 14th..but again i have been reading and saw that it is better to take pregnancy test after a few days then you expect your period.Using some ovulation calendars i am now thinking to test after 17th or so....
it is really hard to decide as i have irregular periods and i know only as much as i have read so far...so if anyone could guide me that will be great.
thanks...

also archie...after 3-4 days after i had detected my ovulation i have having very light pain or discomfort below my stomach..and sometimes my back pains(i work and use a computer chair...but my back never used to pain except during periods)...I usually have this kind of pain when i get my period(usually just a day before and on 1st and 2nd days of my period)...first when i started having this pain i thought may be i will get my period and i was not sucessfull is conceiving( that is ok...this is just my first month trying). But no period yet. I had my last period on Jan 10th.
Irregular period is my issue...so i cannot guess anything right now.

So please clear my issues here....

abdominal pain

Dear SK,
Your abdominal pain following 3-4 days of ovulation may not mean much, lets discount that at the moment as such pain would be considered as a positive sign in case it's appearing from or after 16 days post ovulation, not 3-4 days post ovulation! Amongst successful implantation only one in 100,000 can experience some pain that's also nearly a week after ovulation.

You can however test anytime after 16-17 days from the ovulation. If you were certain about ovulation then you qualify from Feb 17 onward. Remember there are only 20% chances to conceive given all was in time and both of you are healthy:)
