Clear Blue Pregnancy Test

My husband and I are trying to conceive our 2nd child. My period is due early next week and I will be honest---I am anxious and very excited to take a pregnancy test if I don't get a period. Clear Blue box says you can take it up to 5 days before your period is due; however it's more accurate the day and after you miss your period...just wondering if anyone has tested early and gotten an accurate result? Thinking about trying it...or maybe I should just wait?! My period is very regular...every 25 or 26 days.

Pregnant. Do I Need to Get Blood Test?

Hi there! I took a urine test yesterday and found out I'm pregnant with my second baby. Yay! We are currently self pay when it comes to any doctor appointments until my husband's insurance starts in November or December. Do I need to get a blood test right away or should I wait until the insurance starts? I might be 12 weeks along or more by then (I have an appt for Nov 15). Or should I do self pay this week and get my pregnancy blood test done? Does anyone know how vital it is to get the blood test done or is it just a matter of preference?

Pregnancy Tests and Early Symptoms

Hi ladies. My husband and I started trying to conceive this month. My cycle can be anywhere from 28 to 30 days. I'm concerned about testing too early and getting a false-positive or false-negative. We are both anxious to test as soon as we can, but are concerned about false results. I guess my questions are how common are false results? Has this happened to any of you? And how soon should I test or should I just wait and see if I miss my period? I've read that the longer you wait the better. I also wanted to know of early...

To Find Out the Gender or Not?

I am expecting baby #3 in September. We need to decide whether to find out the gender at our ultrasound in 8 weeks. We didn't find out with either of our other 2. One boy, one girl so far! Since I have one of each already, I don't need to find out in order to prepare the nursery or buy items. We already have everything we need for either gender. The nursery is gender neutral and most of my 0-3 items are also gender neutral. We do have several items from the previous kids that are blue or pink so I am not worried about needing to shop...

Confused on Ovulation

My first child was a surprise and looking back now I dont remember the dates of everything to see when it was that I got pregnant in relation to having my period and missing my period. We are now in the process of actually planning the next child and I'm hoping to get pregnant right about now. Can someone who has "planned" there pregnancy fill me in on ovulation. Specifically, is it two weeks after your period STARTED or ENDED? My period is just about over so do I have one more week or two weeks starting now? Thanks! S.
