Potentially silly question

[purplecow0206]

I've typed this up a few times, but I'm not sure how to explain this without it sounding ridiculous to me.

DH and I aren't necessarily TTC this cycle, I just went off the pill and we wanted to have one cycle before we "officially" TTC. We haven't been going wholeheartedly, but we haven't been preventing.

I have to have a root canal in a little over a week, on Dec 10. This will be CD 28 for me, though I'm not sure how many days post-O as I haven't been temping. I'm getting all my usual PMS signals (sore nipples, minor cramping, that kind of thing) but pre-pill, I was on more of a 6-7 week cycle. I was also about 40 lbs heavier when my cycle was like this, so I was expecting my cycle to be longer.

The question is, should I test, just to make sure that, on the off chance that I AM pregnant, to make sure that I can warn the dentist and they can work from there?

Or am I overthinking this? I feel like I'm overthinking this...

Thanks for the info. I just wasn't sure how to handle it and was afraid that I was asking something that should be obvious.

Of course, DH is hoping that we'll pass by all the frustration of TTC and get pregnant on this cycle when we're NOT trying, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen. It'd be great, but I'm really not holding my breath.

That's a great link, thanks!
