When to take a test?

[cnj76]

My baby boy is about to turn 3 months so I've been on birth control. My period has gone back to normal just like it did after my other two children. It was like I never had a baby. But I'm about 2 days late. I don't want to jump to conclusions saying Oh, I'm pregnant!... Because it could very well be the pill. But, I noticed I cramped about a week before I was due and it stopped. The only thing that led me to think maybe there is a chance is because with each pregnancy in the very beginning, I felt queasy and when hubby would ask me what I wanted for lunch, etc, I would tell him something and then be like no. Because nothing sounded good. Kinda like a nagging yuck feeling towards food a little bit. And the past two days, my morning coffee has made me feel sick to my stomach. For those that don't know, I had a son in 2011 and when he was 3 months old, I found out I was pregnant with boy #2.... and this baby I just had was ALMOST 2 years difference. I made a joke to hubby that it would be funny and crazy if I got pregnant again when our baby was 3 months like the first one..lol


Anyway, I was just wondering when do you take a test if you're on the pill? My first, we weren't on the pill when I got pregnant. My second, I stopped taking it and was pregnant a month later. My hubby says we will wait until Friday to test if I haven't started by then. I know my birth control can mess with it, but I haven't had any problems so far. Would Friday be a good time to test or should I wait even longer?

I'd try Friday.. If it says negative wait another week

I'm currently not taking any of them just in case. We are safe if we do anything for now. Which isn't too hard considering we have a 3 year, 2 year and 3 month old lol.. Don't always have time.

I would be testing now just in case. Yes, it may be early but if you are pregnant theres still a chance it may show up. And you obviously wouldn't continue taking the pill if you were as it can cause defects etc. Thats just my opinion personally as I would be worried that something may go wrong.  Best of luck

That's how it was with my middle son. My first was only 3 months when I found out. They are 11 months apart now. It's so hard some days, but I love it. I just don't want to be missing too many birth control pills if I am not pregnant. So I will definitely test this week.

I just got pregnant with my 3rd and my 2nd was only 3 months and it took 10 days after I missed to get a positive.

3 days late now. If I haven't started by Friday, I am testing to make sure. May even test Thursday.

[cnj76]

Ok. Thanks ladies. I think I will test soon.

I tested when I was two days late ( hasn't been on bc in three months as were trying) but it was positive that morning and again that evening lol.

It's perfect time to test if you are late. Three hormone shOuld be there. Best if luck!

[RippedonScotch]

you should be ok to test if you are late... may do one tomorrow morning and then again on friday.

[cnj76]

I'm late as of now.. just don't want to test too early. Lol

I don't know if birth control plays a different role when determining if you are pregnant or not, but I would test after the missed period.
