Hey ladies! So I am waiting on my 2nd period since my MC...and I am three days late. Obviously I know things can be thrown off for a while, but how long should I wait before testing? What was the adverage wait time for your 2nd AF visit? I SERIOUSLY doubt I am preggers, so no need to suggest just taking a test.

If you think it's late, then it's late enough to test. I'm currently on my second period since my mc, it was 6 days late, but they are saying I had a chem preg because it was so late, horrible cramps and clotting, and my hcg level is higher than 0. It wasn't high enough to give a positive urine test though.

Yeah might as well test now. Use Dollar Tree tests, they work fine and you're not investing so much. Let us know!

I started my 2nd AF this week. It was almost 4 days late.

I would test, haha! When we are ttc, I buy bulk tests on Amazon, and start testing 6 days post ovulation, haha! I NEED to know, LOL! Good luck Hun :)

I just had my first m/c and d&c this week so I don't know.

Good luck and I am sorry for your loss.

When TTC, I would sometimes test on day I expect AF out of sheer hopefulness and impatience. :-P If I could wait, though, I'd wait until I was 2-3 days late to begin testing.

Good luck!

If you are late, I would test. Chances are if you are pregnant, you would get a positive. That said, your cycle can be off after a miscarriage as well. You might just be late, but I hope that you get that BFP! Keep us posted!

I agree with the other ladies I don't think it would hurt to test now. Good luck hun! and hopefully you get an answer soon so you don't have to play the waiting game.
