Hubby and I aren't ttc yet but had unprotected sex July 20th. It's now 9 days later and so sign of AF yet. This is my first month off BC so I don't know when I'm ovulating yet. Am supposed to have my period tomorrow.
As far as symptoms, I've had sore nipples, lower back pains and taste metal in the water sometime.
Too soon to test?
I just so want to...

I think the consensus among Hello Bee'ers is that it is never too soon to test! Test away, my friend, and be sure to update us!

@MrsMcD: Heh "never too soon to test (AS LONG AS) you update us" (fixed that for ya! 
It's hard not knowing when you O'd, but if your period is due tomorrow I don't see why you couldn't test now.
Bear in mind, though, that it seems very normal for your cycles to be wonky for a while when coming off of BC. Mine wasn't, but it seems a lot of women's are.

@FutureMrsMcK: Bahahaha... Seriously. If you are going to come on HB and say you are going to test, you should update. Its the only polite thing to do.

The results are in... It's a BPN for me 
might be too soon or might just be negative...
At least I can now think of something else!
Thank you all for the encouragements

Btw, if you ever want a " don't test" answer, don't ask the bees. We will almost never say that
Good luck!

@LovelyPlum: Heh I'm not sure that's ever happened here! We're a whole bunch of POAS enablers!
It might just be too soon, especially since you just came of BC and don't know when you O'd!

@LovelyPlum: ahahah yeah asking the hubby is a guaranteed "don't test" answer I think I needed it though... too many "what if" scenarios.
@Futuremrsmck: I hope it's too soon! I should be getting AF today/tomorrow. I've been VERY emotional.. crying for no reason! My hormones are completely out of whack..

@LiliBillie: my first month of BC I didn't get AF till I think CD 45. Totally threw me for a loop and I tested and got a BFN. I had all the same symptons to. I guess its just the body adjusting.

Still test, but know that going off BCP does crazy things to your body and there's a good chance you're feeling those effects. I didn't even get a period after going off of it for 6 months. By your missed period, or a day before, you'd most likely get an accurate preg test- not always, but usually.
