Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi there All
First of all Congrats to Kbahavana on her BFP!!!Have a H and H 9 months.send us some baby dust!!
Archie i hope you remember me,i am trying again after a loss.This will be my third cycle after my M/C in Jan2005.Iam also in the dreadful 2WW
My last period wason april 25th 2005
My cycle is a 30 day cycle
the last time i was pregnant i had no symptoms at all till my 6 th week and even afterwards i barely had any sysmptoms which my OB said was not a problem,but i always feel thats not right.
Anyway archie today is day 26 of my cycle,when do you think i can test.
I bought these early pregancy tests online which say they measure 20mg of HCG in urine.
Iam getting anxious to test.I have been praying so hard to get some good news.
So when should i test,also iam feeling very bloated since past couple days.
Are there any precautions i should take close to testing date considering there might be a possibility of pregnancy(I hope so:))
Also archie what about having sex in luteal phase.Should it be avoided or it OK.

Again thanks so much for your help,your guidance is very appreciated and very (NEEDED) by me:))))
Take care
Love
SSS archie replied. Dear SSS,
It's painful to go through waiting game, but all have to do so religiously. Anxiety is not a good friend while in Luteal phase.
If cycles are strictly of 30 days I would suggest to wait till 30th day to finish.
I am also not sure what test you ordered online. I have never heard of hCG in mg? It's measured in units. This is posing some concern on my mind as to what test and how confident I should be with results. The EPT, is not very expensive, especially when to confirm the pregnancy.
Anyway you should wait.

Luteal phase is of no use to have sx for ttc part, only it's going to please both of you. As long as there is no adventurous positions being tried one can go for it. Those with concerns on mind must avoid sx in luteal phase. Especially case like yours, a history of miscarriage.
