It's nice to know there's a physiological explanation behind it :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-i-need-to-wait-to-test-x#post-1391027 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 16:22:30 +0000 Happygal 1391027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: I've experienced this before! My basic explanation was that sex must jiggle things loose. :grin: That's sweet that your husband researched about it to make you feel better. Good man! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-i-need-to-wait-to-test-x#post-1391015 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 16:18:26 +0000 Crystal 1391015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: Me too, friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-i-need-to-wait-to-test-x#post-1390815 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 15:02:30 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 1390815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I just returned from the wash room and AF is officially back. Dammit. </p> <p>@MrsMcD: :P Maybe not overnight, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-i-need-to-wait-to-test-x#post-1390768 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:48:43 +0000 deactivated_account 1390768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh how I long for the days when I thought I could get pregnant overnight...... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-i-need-to-wait-to-test-x#post-1390633 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:13:06 +0000 LBee 1390633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ZombieBullfrogHoller: I actually knew this because of a VERY embarrassing incident with my then-boyfriend-now-husband. He researched it in an attempt to make me feel better. Needless to say, be glad that the spotting waited until the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-i-need-to-wait-to-test-x#post-1390623 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:11:18 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 1390623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: Thank you - I had no idea! You women are full of good info ;)</p> <p>Although, "Therefore, sexual intercourse is an enjoyable way to induce menstruation" - what a statement! XD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-i-need-to-wait-to-test-x#post-1390617 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:10:25 +0000 pui 1390617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wait at least 2 weeks from when you DTD to test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-i-need-to-wait-to-test-x#post-1390606 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:06:24 +0000 LBee 1390606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I once read the DTD can bring on AF if it's imminent?</p> <p>ETA: Found this (potentially TMI) explanation -- </p> <p>Sexual Intercourse: The act of sexual intercourse increases blood flow to the vagina and stimulates it to contract. After the sexual intercourse the vagina relaxes, thus triggering the shedding of the uterine lining. Another beneficial side effect of sex is that the hormones contained in semen soften the cervix, which is an initial step in the process of menstruation. Therefore, sexual intercourse is an enjoyable way to induce menstruation </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-i-need-to-wait-to-test-x#post-1390601 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:05:07 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 1390601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: Thanks! 14 days was what I was thinking. I'm not going to lie - if AF is making a comeback I'm going to be bummed. It's been nice! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-i-need-to-wait-to-test-x#post-1390595 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:04:11 +0000 littlek 1390595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ZombieBullfrogHoller: I doubt highly it's implantation bleeding since you just had sex last night, implantation takes 6 - 12 days. My guess is the earliest you can take a pregnancy test would be in a week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-i-need-to-wait-to-test-x#post-1390586 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:01:41 +0000 Crystal 1390586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Implantation usually occurs 6-12 days after O'ing, so I don't think it would be that... maybe AF is making a resurgence? I would wait 14 days to test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-i-need-to-wait-to-test-x#post-1390580 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 13:58:48 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 1390580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, last night, DH &amp; I were DTD, one led to another, and no protection was used. I'm breastfeeding LO who is just about to turn 6 months and haven't yet gotten AF back. Then today I've had some brown-colored spotting. I don't know if that means anything - I'm all sorts of confused when it comes to things like "implantation bleeding" and the like. The only 2 times in my entire life that we've forgone protection have resulted in pregnancies. </p> <p>So, I don't know what the chances are of getting a BFP...we definitely weren't planning, but I'm finding myself far less "freaking out" than I was with the first . I'm terrified [two babies at once? Eeek!], but a bit excited, too, and trying not to get ahead of myself! :P haha. </p> <p>But how long do I need to wait to take a test? I've been searching online and it's all conflicting and I didn't have this test-taking agonizing with LO! </p>
