This time around I will probably end up POAS around the 10 dpo mark, maybe a bit later if I can wait haha.

I originally told myself I would wait until AF was late but now I am feeling impatient and weighing the pros and cons.

I felt different that month...

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.

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. mrsjyw on "How early do you test?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-do-you-test-1#post-1934497 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:31:21 +0000 mrsjyw 1934497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I thought it was 12dpo when I got bfp w ds but when I went back and looked at ff it was actually 10dpo.

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.

My period was light and my chart was looking weird, so, I just wanted to triple check. Aside from that, 7dpo.

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.
