Wait if you can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-test-9-dpo#post-2738251 Sun, 21 May 2017 19:15:50 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2738251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started spotting today.. so I'm not going to test. :(<br /> Thank you for all the responses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-test-9-dpo#post-2738141 Sun, 21 May 2017 06:05:55 +0000 Pollywog 2738141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you test? Fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-test-9-dpo#post-2738118 Sat, 20 May 2017 21:26:42 +0000 Boogs 2738118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm impatient so I would! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-test-9-dpo#post-2738115 Sat, 20 May 2017 20:58:52 +0000 LCTBQE 2738115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@periwinklebee: yes, agree, 11 dpo is the day to experience the least amount of torture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-test-9-dpo#post-2738098 Sat, 20 May 2017 19:19:44 +0000 periwinklebee 2738098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My preference is to test @ 11dpo. I've had 3 bfps and always been able to see it with a cheapie then, so I don't have to waste a more expensive test unnecessarily. And also, it's a nice compromise between "omg, I need to know, like right now" and the torture of wondering if the line will get darker or if it will be a chemical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-test-9-dpo#post-2738088 Sat, 20 May 2017 18:40:43 +0000 skinnycow 2738088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends how you'd handle the negative. I got a positive with DD at 8DPO so I test early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-test-9-dpo#post-2738076 Sat, 20 May 2017 17:58:07 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2738076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote wait.</p> <p>But I don't want to know about chemical pregnancies (edit- for myself, I don't mind other people sharing their experiences.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-test-9-dpo#post-2738038 Sat, 20 May 2017 14:00:10 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2738038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have the cheapies, then test. If you only have FRER or CB, wait. Those are way too $$ to use this early alone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-test-9-dpo#post-2738030 Sat, 20 May 2017 13:24:35 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2738030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wait. If it's positive, you will just be anxious about a chemical pregnancy and start obsessing over line darkness /progression for the next few days. If it's negative you will continue to test obsessively to see if it's just early or if you are out. Both are stress inducing and not worth it. Wait until 11 or 12dpo so your results are conclusive, and you save money on tests too! </p> <p>TTC sucks, we've all been there! Try not to get sucked into the crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-test-9-dpo#post-2738028 Sat, 20 May 2017 12:51:27 +0000 Bernieboo 2738028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say wait... I got a BFN on DPO11 with M, then got a positive only after my period was late. This time, I'll be waiting as long as I can stand it! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-test-9-dpo#post-2738025 Sat, 20 May 2017 12:38:30 +0000 LAZB 2738025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say test all the time! I got a Bfp at 9 dpo with #3, and didn't until later with my first two </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-test-9-dpo#post-2738024 Sat, 20 May 2017 12:35:44 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2738024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 9DPO today and tempted to test. I tested positive at 10 DPO with my daughter. Should I wait a few days or test today? </p>
