We know of so many ladies that test at 8dpo and go on to fullterm. Especially if your test is still positive. When I had my CP, it was a very faint positive two days before AF and negative the night before AF. It takes time. IF it makes you feel any better, I didn't wait as long as I should have. I just tested today when AF is due and got a :bfp: ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1729414 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 11:33:04 +0000 sapphire 1729414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: evidently I'm a total liar, because I tested at 11 or 12 days post O this month. I have no idea what made me do it!!! Of course, bow I'm totally paranoid because I had a positive but AF isn't due for a couple more days so u dint even know what to think about it! I don't think I'll believe that I'm actually pregnant until after AF shows because I'm do worried it could just be chemical. I kind of wish I had waited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1727190 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 12:19:21 +0000 simplyfelicity 1727190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sapphire: Congrats on your BFP!!! Did you wait for AF this time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1712073 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 09:55:01 +0000 sapphire 1712073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to test around day 10-12 but after so many negatives I decided to just wait for AF. I like knowing absolutely for sure whether I am KU or not. It's been less hard on me this way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1710034 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 14:03:14 +0000 MrsKRB 1710034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to test at 11dpo, this time I waited until AF and it was sooo much better. Seeing that negative coupled with PMS hormones made a mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1709847 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 13:17:10 +0000 PurplePumps 1709847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to just wait for AF, but then I have so many of the preg tests that came with the OPKs (Wondfos) that i just test at starting at 12. Might as well use them for something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1709775 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:54:47 +0000 LAZB 1709775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I get to 10dpo, that's when I test usually. I have a really short luteal phase, and I'm impatient. This month I was planning on 9dpo just because we are going out of town with friends, so I wanted to test before leaving, but I started spotting today (8dpo), so I probably won't bother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1709724 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:37:50 +0000 Raindrop 1709724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I start at 8 DPO but when I got my BFP it was very faint on 10 DPO and was dark on 11 DPO. I think next time I'll wait till at least 10 DPO. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1709678 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:27:29 +0000 PawPrints 1709678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never before 11 DPO. Usually I test on 11 or 12 DPO and then my period shows up immediately after the BFN. (Or my period beats me to it and I save money on HPTs). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1709615 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:06:27 +0000 googly-eyes 1709615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This cycle I tested at 12 and 13 dpo, then stopped and just pretty much started waiting for af. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1709597 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:03:55 +0000 septca 1709597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I start at 8 DPO.<br /> ETA: I stop after 12 DPO. After that, if it was going to show, it would have. :bummed: </p> <p>@mfa_lady: and @simplyfelicity: That's interesting. My CP has made me even more committed to testing early. If I am having multiple losses, I need my doctor to know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1709572 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 11:57:04 +0000 doxielove 1709572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9/10 times I wait for AF to show. I do have the occassional month where I'm *convinced* I'm KU and I test early. Always bums me out, though, so I try to avoid testing early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1709566 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 11:54:32 +0000 Littlebit 1709566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually waited to 10dpo. I didn't like the idea of waiting til my AF date because if I was having chemicals I wanted to know. </p> <p>But actually the month I ended up getting my sticky BFP I waited to test until 12dpo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1709380 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 11:08:31 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1709380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I got a BFP I tested at 11dpo. When we were trying before fertility treatments I would wait until AF was late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1709373 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 11:06:40 +0000 simplyfelicity 1709373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Awwww, thanks!

Mine wasn't early (so testing early wouldn't have changed anything), but it still is just different afterwards! So hoping that you get your sticky, sticky babe soon! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1709365 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 11:05:29 +0000 raspberries 1709365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually aim for the closest weekend to 12 DPO - I couldn't handle getting a BFP and then having to go to work right after, because I'm pretty sure I'd blurt it out to everyone I talked to, haha.</p> <p>That usually means I end up between 10 DPO and 14 DPO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1709361 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 11:04:28 +0000 simplyfelicity 1709361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Same here...after an early MC, DH and I decided it was best to test after AF was due </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1709346 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 11:00:40 +0000 mfa_lady 1709346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-MC, I liked to test early and often. Post-MC, I tried to wait until AF was due. My BFP cycle, though, I just knew something was up, so I tested at what I thought was 11DPO. According to our first US, it was actually 13DPO, which explains why the test was so dark already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-test-1#post-1709325 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 10:54:23 +0000 pui 1709325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always waited for when AF was due. </p>
