Question

TTC baby #1 and just wondering how many days or weeks i should wait b4 taking a hpt. not exactly sure when i ovulate, had a one day period on july 12th after going off birth control. practiced the baby making process on july 4th, 5th, 13, 21st, and 24th. can anyone give me some advice or input? thank you so much!

Answer 1

I had a positive accurate test 13 days after conception. The general rule is about 10 days after conception AND a few days before your missed period, with an early response test. Use it first thing in the morning with your "first urine" because the hormones are strongest then. If you had a period on July 12th, you could probably take a test around the 8th or so and it would be pretty accurate. Good luck!

Answer 2

You can test 2 weeks afterwards.

Answer 3

usually at 2 weeks. you'll just have to wait until you actually miss your period.

good luck.

Answer 4

you usually ovulate 2 weeks before your expected period. HPT's are most accurate the day of your expected period with first morning pee. Good luck to you.  

Answer 5

After coming off birth control I was having a difficult time conceiving. My doctor explained that if I was, in fact, ovulating, it should be between days 10 and 20 of my cycle. So the best bet would be to BD (every other day) from day 10 to 20. If that was a period july 12th, then having s*x July 22nd to around August 1st would give you the greatest chance of conceiving!! Further, when I did get pregnant, I had a negative HPT 8 days after I'd suspected I'd conceived, and then a positive one at 13 days! So a few days makes a HUGE difference!! Good Luck!! I'd suggest taking a HPT sometime next week, and don't be discouraged if it isn't positive! You can take another one in a few days! :)

Good Luck!!
