I had a miscarriage 11/4/09 and never, ever have normal cycles. We immediately, started again TTC however, I never know when I ovulate even with OPK and never know when I will get my menses. We have sex just about everyday and are hoping to get pregnant again right away. Our fertility doctor informed us that most women are more fertile after having a miscarriage. My birthday is in 2 weeks and will have extensive testing after that. I was hoping to be able to test by then. Does anyone know how soon after intercourse could you possibly get a positive result?
There are some real sensitive tests out there that can detect the pregnancy hormone about 5 days before you actually miss a period, but because you don't have a normal cycle this wouldn't help you. I would say wait until about three weeks after intercourse, may be 3 and a half, then try one. Keep a calander of when you and your husband have intercourse so that you can count off 3 or 4 weeks from that time to take the test.
