pregnancy test

Hey quick question so I been tryna have a kid for some time now and it didn't happen I was very irregular and then this year it picked back up as regularly. So I been having a period every month like clock work but OCT 4th was my expected date for my cycle and it hasn't showed up. I was wondering just how long should I wait before I take a pregnancy test I have mixed emotions only because I don't wanna get my hopes high for no reason any help?

I took one as soon as i didnt feel my pmdd symptoms the week before it was supposed to come... i got a positive... i took at least 3 to make sure.

Cramping is normal, at least for me anyways.

I was the same back then. I was expecting to be pregnant so many time whenever i took the test but I just wouldn't show up positive whenever I took it. So pretty much I got tired of it and just did my own thing and not expect too much. Next thing you know, I found out I was 8wks and 3days pregnant with my first child around February. Im currently 35wks and im due early Novemeber, blessed with a baby girl. Just don't expect it too much and just let it happen naturally. Maybe there might be even a higher chance of getting pregnant.

You could take a test at any time! If you've been irregular in the past and the first comes back negative, you could always try again a few days later. There are also ovulation kits that would help you since you've been irregular in the past. They help you to figure out when is the best time to conceive rather than just guessing!
