I don't like to POAS much, mostly because I don't want to get discouraged. The earliest I've tested is 11dpo. I know some users have gotten BFPs at 8dpo!

10dpo was the earliest I'd let myself test. I guess I wish I waited since the line I got was so faint it caused more stress than if I just waited till 12dpo for a positively dark line!

When you can technically test depends on when implantation occurs. Some people implant early and that's why they get early positives. You can also be a slow builder of HCG which causes late positives. I do get the urge to test too early but I can't help it!

8dpo was my earliest and it was a faint positive. I wanted to wait longer to test but my husband pressured me into trying early

I've only ever tested 1-2 days before AF is due. These days I've decided I won't even buy pregnancy tests until AF is late.

I definitely prefer to wait until AF is due or even late by a day or so. This time, though, I tested at 12 dpo and got a faint positive. The earliest I have ever tested was at 8 dpo...total waste of a FRED but I was "green" then to this whole process.

I tested at 9DPO with C and got a faint positive! I didn't test until after AF was due with M.

With my son I tested at 9 or 10 DPO and it was a really clear line on a FRER. I didn't test prior to that.
This time around, I started testing at 7dpo this cycle. Ugh. I have no self control.

6 dpo with cheapies. I got my BFP at 8dpo using evening pee and had a strong positive the next morning.

Before ovulation Not quite so ridiculous as it sounds though! My period was light and my chart was looking weird, so, I just wanted to triple check.
Aside from that, 7dpo. I got my positive at 8dpo.

10 dpo. Although from now on, I'll probably wait until AF is due if I can somehow manage to figure that out with my all over the place cycles.

Almost every cycle i waited until 14dpo, but this last time i was feeling off so i did a wondfo at 8dpo and it was positive.
Part of me wishes i had waited because i spent that next week out of town and couldn't get betas until i was back from my trip, and i was obsessed with poas until i got that first beta back....after a cp i was afraid that i would just not be pregnant anymore, so it made me a little nutty.

Unmedicated cycles--maybe 11 or 12 dpo? But medicated cycles, not until 13 at least. I was too scared to get a positive and not know if it was the trigger shot or not!

I always told myself that I would never test before 12DPO until I tested at 10DPO..... so bad.

The cycle I got my BFP I tested first at 10dpo and it was negative then again at 12dpo and it was positive!

I thought it was 12dpo when I got bfp w ds but when I went back and looked at ff it was actually 10dpo. I had started testing at 7dpo!! Thought it was 9 at the time though!
I am going to wait until Af if I can in the future

I don't really test because with IF it's usually just false hopes. I did test in the summer when I had a cp and that was when I was almost a week late. Usually if I test, it's because I'm at least 5 days late.

8DPO and t was positive...still tested the next morning to make sure..

I think the earliest I've tested is 7dpo, but that was more because I knew I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it if I didn't just do it. I got some faint positives around 9 or 10dpo, but in retrospect they were SO faint that I'm not sure if it wasn't just wishful thinking that I saw something and I just happened to actually be pregnant so that I really did see lines later. I couldn't even show them to DH until at least 12dpo.

my period is regular, so when we were trying for our girl I actually tested on the day it was due. I felt different that month...

I am 10dpo and debating whether I should POAS tomorrow or not. I originally told myself I would wait until AF was late but now I am feeling impatient and weighing the pros and cons.

I was planning to POAS at 10dpo with my LO but a friend convinced me to do it at 9dpo and my positive was pretty dark so I probably COULD have at 8dpo.
This time around I will probably end up POAS around the 10 dpo mark, maybe a bit later if I can wait haha.
