Not pregnant. </p> <p>This was my first ever PT, so I may try it again at home and use a cup. The Target bathroom stall was a bit uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-865275 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:00:48 +0000 SweetiePie 865275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I've always started testing around 8dpo, knowing it would likely be too early. But this time that's when I got my BFP!<br /> Considering the no spotting and no AF, I would test for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-865271 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:59:04 +0000 Bao 865271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tested 13dpo with LO and that was the day of or day after AF was due. Test! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-865241 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:47:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 865241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waited until the day my period was due, and only then if my BBT was still up. For as long as we TTC I didn't actually test very often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-865232 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:45:15 +0000 lilteacherbee 865232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was crazy and tested really early. I got faint BFPs at 8 and 9 dpo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-865064 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:44:13 +0000 Vegmama 865064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always said I'd wait until AF day, but really, I'd start testing like 5 days before. Fingers crossed for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-865033 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:32:43 +0000 lamariniere 865033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tested the day my period was due and got a BFN. After three days of no AF, I tested again and BFP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-864867 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:31:15 +0000 MapleMoose 864867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my BFP on 12dpo. Let us know how it goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-864750 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:40:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 864750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a long LP (17 days) so I tested before my period was due. I'd usually start around 11 dpo even though I knew it was too early. I got my real BFP I think at 13dpo, so 5 days before my missed period. If you have a shorter LP, clearly that would have been fewer days before the missed period.</p> <p>Either way, I think you can test today, or wait for FMU tomorrow. (I was a stickler for FMU-- otherwise I'd would just wonder if the test was even accurate since it wasn't concentrated enough, so it would defeat the purpose of testing!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-864709 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:23:50 +0000 Alivoo01 864709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would test now! I'm surprised you haven't tested already!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-864695 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:16:50 +0000 kiddosc 864695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have tested already for sure! I got my BFP 8dpo.<br /> This little chart is helpful:<br /> HPT Accuracy Results Percentages: (Based on a 25mIU sensitive test)<br /> 10 dpo : 35%<br /> 11 dpo : 51%<br /> 12 dpo : 62%<br /> 13 dpo : 68%<br /> 14 dpo : 74%<br /> 15 dpo : 80%<br /> 16 dpo : 88%<br /> 17 dpo : 92%</p> <p>So if you're 14dpo, and you are pregnant, there's a 75% chance that the test will show positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-864670 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:08:07 +0000 GrapeCrush 864670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>with #1 I tested the day after AF was due. with #2, things got all wonky with my BC and we weren't trying so I ended up getting a BFP at almost 7 weeks, because I had no idea I should test! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-864648 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:56:50 +0000 Grace 864648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In early TTC, I tested early, but many BFN got me discouraged. By the end of TTC, I only tested the day AF was due. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-864567 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:13:46 +0000 Dandelion 864567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have already tested, too.

I would start testing at 9 DPO. I think I got a positive at 10 DPO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-864523 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:36:43 +0000 BananaPancakes 864523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have already tested!

So go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-864504 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:14:23 +0000 sorrycharlie 864504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tested 5 days before my period was due (9 dpo) and got a positive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-864502 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:12:32 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 864502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waited to test the day I expected my period... Just to give me the best chance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-864500 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:10:21 +0000 illumina 864500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have tested a couple of days ago!! Do it now!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-864498 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:08:35 +0000 oliviaoblivia 864498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd have tested already. You should too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test#post-864493 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:04:19 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 864493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is probably premature, but the point of DTD on certain days is to get a BFP so when do you test?</p> <p>According to FF today is the start of my cycle and no AF. I usually spot a couple of days prior and none of that either. How long should I wait to test? So far I am only 7 hours late. </p>
