Hi,
I'm up to day 24 and 7 dpo. I've been having mild cramps all week (started last Sunday with very very bad cramps but are now more just niggly) but nothing has come of it. My cycles vary in length from 25 to 31 days, FF suggest it could have started anytime from yesterday through to next wednesday. Given all this when would be a good time to start testing? I realise the best time would be about this time next week if AF hasn't arrived but I'm not sure if I can wait that long. Any ideas? Maybe Monday? Thanks, and yes, I'm a little obsessed. |

If you know for sure you're 7dpo, then it's probably best to wait until at least 10dpo (preferably longer) as it's unusual to get a bfp before then. -------------

Yeah, I'd wait till at least 10DPO (and don't get put off if it's neg) Then if that's false maybe 14DPO. -------------

| Thanks, just a rough idea about this really helps. I'm pretty sure I ov a week ago - all the signs were there and FF agreed! So I'll hang in there till at least monday but maybe till next thursday. |
