Took a test

I had my first IUI two weeks ago, I should start my period on Saturday. So today after work I took a home pregnancy test it was negative. Should I take another one closier to Saturday or just accept that I am not pregnant. I am so sad if that is the truth. Why is this whole process so hard. The test said it was 83% four days before your period. I do not know what to think. It is so hard to want something so bad. I just need some support and advice. Thanks

I will wait and take another one Friday. It is possible that the hcg is strong enough in your body yet. Good luck and God bless.

I meant to say hcg is not strong enough in you urine to detect yet.

why don't you go to the DR for a blood test then..that may reassure you and you can know for sure.

I agree w/ Mel - my doc said not to even try POAS testing until day 14 after IUI. And then one of the ladies on here told me her doc said "no testing until 16 days". It's just too much emotional uproar to put yourself through so early - especially because you may be pregnant and you wanna keep your body from getting stressed out.

Good luck to you! It ain't over til it's over! Sending loads of baby dust your way too!

Don't give up, I would test again Saturday if you haven't gotten AF yet. It could stil be too early.

I would try again. My first test said negitive. I waited 2 days and tested first thing in the morning and got a faint BFP. I took 3 more tests after that and all got darker each time.

You could take another one Friday. As you said, the test is not 100% accurate yet. Sometimes they don't detect it for a few days after missed AF. It depends on how much hormone your body has at the time. Good luck, I will be praying you get a BFP!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
