I don't think there is any prescribed amount of time. Some people don't get it until after they stop the progesterone, I always get it before my test date. Who knows??? I guess everyone's body responds differently.
do you mean after you've gotten a BFN???? or just IF AF is going to show -- when would it be???
in my case, my ET was 8/12.....got BFN on 8/25 and nurse said "you should expect so see AF within a week".....and sure enough --- just this morning (8/30) AF has reared her ugly head!!!
i think kelly is right though --- is different for each person.....unfortunately - the meds really mess w/ our systems
I guess I'm just trying to figure out where I'm at. I'm due to go in on 9/4 for a pregnancy test. So I was wondering if I'm "late" by that point or not. I did an EVIL HPT yesterday and today and the line was lighter today than yesterday. I know, I know.....stupid.....Just adds to the anxiety of the next 5 days. ugh.
ellen -- you need to throw away any/all stock-piled HPT's you have left!!! they are evil, evil, evil you are 110% correct in saying they are only causing you additional anxiety ---- THEY ARE!!!!! there is a reason you're not testing til 9/4......all you gotta do is get thru this holiday weekend --- do you have plans??? maybe its time you make some! i'm tellin ya --- i have read just TONS of stories out here of ladies POAS and getting negative results.....only to go in for bw and get their BFP!!!!!!!!! one gal in particular that comes to mind -- that i've communicated w/ quite a bit --- POAS the MORNING of her beta test ---- got a negative result, was crushed, just KNEW that was end of line for her ------ much to her surprise, she got BFP and is currently pregnant!!!!!!!!! they just don't work for everybody......plain and simple......ALSO -- i don't think there's a test out there (no matter how much money you pay for it) that detects "lower" levels of hcg --- also where i've seen MANY gals start out --- w/ hcg at/around 15-20.....docs like to see 50+ for a BFP -- however, anything between 5-50 is considered BFP -- but proceed w/ caution.....long as your numbers start doubling and continue climbing --- you're in for your BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
****** LOTS OF HUGS AND HAPPY THOUGHTS......AND STICKY, STICKY BABY DUST YOUR WAY........GOOD LUCK TO YOU *****************
