When do you start testing? And what are these twitches about?

When do you start testing? And what are these twitches about?

Curious what the recommendation is? Is it a certain amount of days after when you think you ovulated, or is it best to wait until AF is due and do it then?

I'm trying not to read into symptoms because I know I will be disappointed, but the last days I've been having weird twitches on my sides, in lower abdomen, which is not normal for me unless I just got my period. My AF is not due until 7/22, so 10 more days. We Chat Icon a few times over the July 4th weekend as that's when I got Chat Icon on the Clear Blue Digital.

Could the twitches be related to something else? Anyone else have them? They appear for a few minutes, go away, then come back again later in the day.

I don't want to get your hopes up but I Od around June 30th and I had twitches in my abdomen starting like 5 or 6 days later and lasting to my BFP which was at 11dpo.

Good luck!! Chat Icon

It's most likely way too early to show anything on a HPT, I would wait, if you can wait until AF is due, you'll save yourself a lot of disappointment (even if you are to get a BFP later)... but if you absolutely can't wait, I wouldn't test any earlier than 10DPO.

Try not to read into the twitches. It could be anything.

I don't test until after AF is due.

Try not yo read into things--it could be anything. Wait until you miss your period to test--even the most sensitive tests may not detect hcg early.

Re: When do you start testing? And what are these twitches about?

definitely try not to read into symptoms. They are entirely misleading. I can't tell you how many times I had every symptom in the book only to lead to a BFN. And go figure when I got my BFPs (both with #1 and this one) I had no symptoms at all. So silly.

Anyhow, best time to test is when AF is due because that's when it's the most accurate. If you can't wait though, 2 days before is probably the earliest I'd personally do in order to avoid false negatives.

the 2ww is the worst. I know it's next to impossible but try to ignore "symptoms" they are soooo very misleading.

I waited until AF is suppose to show in order to test. I've tested before and been majorly disappointed.

good luck this month! Chat Icon Chat Icon

I say don't read into it and wait to be sure. Keep us updated!

Good luck!
