Okay so me and my husband decided to go to baby number 2 last month and we decided in the middle of the month after ovulation and i had my period last month. this month we had sex the whole week i was ovulating and before ovulation to make sure we get pregnant. My period isnt supposed to be until Oct. 17th. I've been watching to see if i have implantation bleeding and today i noticed a little blood in my underwear and then when i wiped it looked like little dots of blood on the toilet paper and of coarse im happy i hope its implantation. It only did it for a couple of hours when i wiped and now its gone. Ive also been bloated and having cravings and im eating a lot more and im moody and im peeing more. So since my period is 5 days away do you think i could test already and get a positive result if i am pregnant?

What can I do next?

Maybe. But you might be better off waiting until the day after you would get your period. If are pregnant, your hormone levels increase each day so the chance of testing positive goes up the longer you wait. Of course you could always get a 2-pack, test now, and if it is negative or you are not sure, test again a week later.

I think you could. My husband and I were almost in the exact same boat ten months ago. It only took three weeks and we were prego with baby number two. I took the test 6 days early(well I took two tests) and they both came out positive. Do it in the morning though, thats when it is the best time to take a prego test.
The only part I hated was that I knew right away so I felt like I was pregnant forever.
good luck to you. fingers crossed

It might be hard to wait from the excitement, but to get the best result, I'd wait until the day of your period to test. It's possible you could be pregnant - I know that I had to pee so much when I first became pregnant! Good luck :)

The advice I was given was to start at 10 days post ovulation.

You can get reliable pregnancy tests at The Dollar Store. You could test now and again later and not be concerned about the cost.
