Question

Hey ladies! Needing some advice! :) 13dpo here. When can I start testing?

My last period was on July 2nd. I ovulated on the 15th and had sex the day of. I am now 13dpo. I've been feeling slight cramping on my left side of my abdomen but it comes and goes. No signs of implantation bleeding though. I have also felt ver bloated and a little nauseated the past two days in the morning and night. Nothing too horrible though. Food seemed to help. I'm supposed to start my period in about two days or so and I usually get cramps and feel my period coming a week before I start. However, I haven't experienced any lower back pains I usually get when I'm about to start my period. What are my chances of being pregnant? How soon can I take a test?

You can test now if you want. At 13 dpo, it should be fairly accurate, even though some women do not test + until after their missed period. I was always able to get my bfps prior to AF, but that isn't always the case. As far as your chances, I can't give you a specific number other than that the avg woman has a 20-25% chance per cycle if they maximize all of their fertile days. Your most fertile days are the 2-3 days leading up to ovulation, not the day you actually ovulate as the egg has a short life span & it takes time for sperm to travel & undergo changes that make them capable of fertilization. So, if you're not pregnant this cycle, keep that in mind. Gl to you! Hope it is your month!

Also, implantation bleeding is fairly rare, so don't feel discouraged if you never see it. I certainly never had it (I've had 2 babies myself) & haven't actually known anyone to have it either. It isn't a reliable indicator.

I too felt cramping but not like period pain coz I get it about a week before flow the cramps n back pain but didn't this month, I also feel bloated, like something is happeneing in my uterus so I took a test at 10 DPO negative then 1 day after I was due for my period, I thought im going to test which was 15 DPO and it was positive within 3 minutes at 3pm in arvo not even first morning urine! at 16DPO I went to doc and tested positive with urine there now waiting on my bloods :) I never had implantation bleeding with my 1st preg or this one, hope u get ur positive line :)
