    Assuming you mean pregnancy testing then it all depends when you ovulated or did the deed! If your cycle is irregular then that would be pretty hard to predict at this stage. If this cycle is going to be 35 days like the last one that means that day 30 would probably have been too early to get a positive test. Your period comes about 14 days after ovulation... so a test would show positive round about then. The more sensitive ones would maybe show postive a couple of days earlier.

    But as I said with an irregular cycle and without knowing when you ovulated 'tis hard to tell :( Good luck!

    You know you can get ovulation tests. They're just like pregnancy tests except the line appears when you're close to ovulation. Even if you have all eventualities covered at least you would know when your period might be due and therefore know when it's late. They're expensive though.

    Please, please dont be too disheartened if it hasnt happened this time! Your body may be just settling back into a natural rhythm still.
    Enjoy the practise. Its meant to be fun, not just a means to an end.:)

    The persona testing system will tell you when you are ovulating, you can get one in most clinics it requires you do a unrine test each morning.

    If you are actively trying to conceive, I would recommend buying your testing kits in bulk - you can get ovulation and pregnancy tests for a fraction of the price online.

    http://www.testsforless.com is a good site.
