We are trying for our second child and this is the first attempt. I had my IUD removed August 3 and the lmp started July 26. I never really kept track of my periods before now but I was definitely having it at least every month (so cycle probably not more than 28-30 days) I have had nothing until today (very light spotting - only notice when I wipe) and no outward signs of my period. I am usually excessively bloaty and overly tired. I did have an overwhelming urge to vomit when I opened the fridge THurs morning which was immediately relieved when I shut the door. I did not have morning sickness with first child so don't really know what it feels like. I took one test on the 18 - NP, another one on the 25 - NP and another one this morning (yes, I know that's a little excessive) I noticed spotting about 3 hours after taking the test. I know I won't test positive until egg has implanted and what I'm experiencing could be just that... when should I retest (assuming this doesn't turn into a full blown period)?

Its hard to resist isn't it.

As far a s I know if its an early test you can test 4 days before period arrives - around day 10 after ovulation.

Some tests are only capable of detecting levels of HCG hormone when they are higher after you miss a period. Can you bear to wait a week and then retest?
