Mechanica, I'm impatient, so generally tested about 10 days after I ovulated, several days before AF was due. I bought early tests that could pick up just 10mIU, albeit the cheap ones (www.earlypregnancy.co.uk is a good source in the UK) and I got my first lines at both times I was pregnant at that time. Regular cheap ones (probably able to detect 25mIU) won't work until a day or two later but people do still get BFPs on them a few days before AF is due.
Good luck!
And Ember did have hair, but it was fine and blonde so not so visible. Given both the donor and I are both blonde I'd be surprised if this one is any different but there are red head genes on my side so you never know...
Erin - it's very exciting isn't it? I think the scan yesterday really brought it home to me that we're going to meet this little person soon. They're already estimated at 5.5lb which is bigger than I was when I was born, so it's very real and imminent all of a sudden. I'm sure the end of your semester will make a difference to how you feel. I know I've only started really getting into the swing of things very recently.
Ruby, I've got everything crossed for you! Keep us posted!
Best wishes to all,
