Most HPT's (home pregnancy tests) will say to do it first thing in the morning, but keep in mind this is not a hard and fast rule ! So basically anytime is good, especially if you are feeling anxious and just want peace of mind ! When we finally got our BFP (Big Fat Positive) I ended up taking both tests in the box (ClearBlue brand), and bought another one the next day just to make sure  Best of luck and let us know how you go !!

I did mine on the 28th day of my cycle, couldn't wait any longer! My cycle was usually 30 days. I got a faint positive and that was in the afternoon.
good luck galfriend!

Whoops, didn't think of it from that angle ! WBM and Paws are right though. Mind you, *if* your period is regular (can't recall if you've said yours is or not?)... then it can be the day your period is due, or even slightly before - mind you, most people wait about a week unless they're sticking to the official 2WW.

there are some tests that you can use 7 days after ovulation, but they can giv eyou a false positive. You sound a lot like me, patience is not a virtue I posess

As the other guys said you just have to try and be patient, although saying that I can remember spending a fortune taking test to early as I couldn't wait. And then taking two more after my positive just to make sure. Good luck!

I did my test the day before I was due for the "monthly" lol and tested positive. The line came up really strong and quickly but then I was preg with twins. Also tested about a day or 2 after period due for a prev preg and tested positive. Didnt even think i was preg that time until i told a friend how i had fallen asleep at work as was so tired so she told me to do a test  . Anyway good luck.

If you have an idea of when you ovulated Shelly, you could test 14 days after that

I never, ever used to note mine down but for some unknown reason, I noted mine down last September and then around the time I was due for the next period, I thought 'must be any day now' and went to my WW meeting and I had put on 200grams or something (thinking it's just that time of month) and decided to test that afternoon, and what do you know, but it was positive!
So I must have known something to write it down the previous month, even though it was an accident!
