My cycle is usually 35 days, not the normal 28, so im always confused about counting. We are trying this month and i dont want to test too soon and get a wrong result. When should i actually check?
Longer cycles like mine make timing tricky, I always tested a few days after the expected date to be safe. If it is negative but period still doesnt come, retest after 3 days. Dont rush it.
With a 35 day cycle you ovulate later, so wait till around day 36 or 37 to test, basically a day after your expected period. My doc explained testing by the calendar date your period should arrive, not a fixed 28 days. Use morning urine.
Since your cycle is 35 days, just count to when your next period is due and test the day after that. My tracker adjusts for longer cycles and it really helps avoid testing too early. Patience pays off here.
