Should I bother?

Not sure whether to a test this weekend or not- think I am just being way too hopeful.
Came off bcp end march- had withdrawal bleed (1st-4th April).
Did test last Saturday as no sign of af

and then had pink cm early hours Sunday morning (persume this is what you call spotting).

So should I bother doing test or not?

Always awkward first month (and even the next couple of months) off the pill, because you don't actually know what your body is doing, some people have had to wait months for their first AF....

If you think you know when you ovulated, and BDed at the right time then you might be lucky. If you've got some cheap tests then I'd probably do one. If it comes back negative again then I guess you just wait for AF to show up.

Good luck x

On my 1st month after bcp my cycle was 32 days (now cd5 of 2nd cycle). I wasted money on hpt's but couldn't help myself as I just needed to know one way or the other. So, if you are strong enough to wait I would wait, but if it's driving you nuts (like it was me) then do one.

Hope that helps and good luck!
