Right time to test?

So... If I ovulate every 1820 days, do I test when I miss my period or count 14 days after the ovulation. They are 2 different days. I am a day late, I just don't want to waste tests if I should be waiting until its been 14 days past ovulation. Also, does it frustrate anyone else that PMS symptoms are a lot like the ones that would indicate you could be pregs? Annoying!

And last thing. I'm having a hard time swallowing my PNV. I take a One A Day brand. Gummy ones make me gag. Any suggestions on a smaller oral vitamin? Thanks!!

Merry Christmas!

You can test the day of your missed period, or 14dpo. Up to you. You can test before your missed period as well, if you're really brave.

I take 2 children's vitamins a day, as suggested by my PCP. My OB confirmed this was fine to do.

Target PNVs are relatively small and easy to swallow.

Lurking here and not sure about your first question, but my re gave me a vitamin called Vitafol one. It's a soft gel that's smaller than any prenatal I've ever seen, they are great!

I think most of the ladies here go by DPO as for when they're going to test, but some wait until they've missed their period.  By 14DPO or missed period you should be able to get a positive either way.

Just a matter of personal preference, it won't effect wether you are pregnant or not. =) 

 Can you break the prenatal in half?  I break my calcium supplement in half because it's huge.

You can test whenever you want, it is a matter of whether seeing a negative pregnancy test will bum you out. Some ladies don't mind and start testing at 8dpo, other wait until their periods are late. Here is the breakdown of accuracy by dpo. FWIW I am a POAS addict, so I invest in cheapie HPTs, that way I don't feel like I'm wasting more than a $1 each time.

 HPT accuracy by DPO:
10 dpo : 35%
11 dpo : 51%
12 dpo : 62%
13 dpo : 68%
14 dpo : 74%
15 dpo : 80%
16 dpo : 88%
17 dpo : 92%
18 dpo : 99%

Also, does it frustrate anyone else that PMS symptoms are a lot like the ones that would indicate you could be pregs? Annoying! Welcome to the club

And last thing. I'm having a hard time swallowing my PNV. I take a One A Day brand. Gummy ones make me gag. Any suggestions on a smaller oral vitamin? Thanks!! Merry Christmas! Can't help ya here, gummies are yummy!

I take the gummy prenatals right now, but I have taken the Rainbow Light Prenatal Petites in the past. You have to take 3 of them, but they are pretty small and oval-shaped so they go down smoothly. As for testing, it doesn't sound like you are temping and aren't exactly sure when you ovulated, so I'd wait a few more days to test. If you think you ovulated on a certain date, test 14 days after that.

Wonfo's on Amazon are a favorite around here.  They have OPK and HPT combo packs too.
