With DD1, I don't think I POAS the first two cycles we "tried" b/c I know I wasn't really doing a "good" job. On our third cycle I POAS for exact ovulation time so I had more confidence. So then I POAS on DPO 10 (and on vacation mind you), because I just couldn't wait. I didn't have too many obvious symptoms or I was just oblivious. 10 DPO I had a super faint line.... By 12-13 DPO it was super clear and confirmed with digital. At first I used cheap Target brand ones but then used FRER
With DD2 I had no idea when I ovulated and wasn't even sure if I've missed my period... I just had unmikstable symptom of heartburn/feeling really bloated even tho I just took one bite, and I distinctly remember only feeling that way when pregnant w/ DD1. No idea what DPO it was; and just took CVS brand blue dye and it was a BFP. I don't think I ever confirmed it with digital or anything else.

@hellobear:
I have just been pregnant once and am currently pregnant. I used a Wondfo and another cheapie internet one at the same time. I was 14 DPO and my luteal phase is usually 15 days. I took the tests because I had just gotten the call that my husband's SA came back higher than the last SA and I was feeling hopeful for that cycle. I also had a lot of CM that would wake me up in the early morning (new). Later that day I went out and bought a digital to confirm what the two cheapies told me.

I've been pregnant 5 times so I've peed on a lot of sticks.
1. Start POAS? And why? Symptom based?
- 4 times, we were TTC so obviously I was hoping to be pregnant. Started testing around 8 or 9dpo. Last time, it was a surprise and AF was a few days late and I just "felt" pregnant so I took a test.
2. Get a BFP? Squinters on 9 or 10dpo, usually pretty clear by 11dpo
3. And what type of test did you use? Wonfos in the early days, FRER to confirm positives

9DPO. I tested because we were trying (long journey) and I wanted a margarita. I took a FRER in Walmart, threw it in the bag, went to the restaurant, and realized no margarita for me.

1. Start POAS? And why? Symptom based?
I tested once at 9 DPO and got a negative. Tested again at 13 DPO because I had a work party with drinking involved and wanted to make sure. I was so shocked when it was positive because I had no signs.
2. Get a BFP? 13 DPO.
3. And what type of test did you use? FRER
I've been pregnant a few other times, but they weren't happy endings so I won't include the info.

1. Start POAS? And why? Symptom based?
I started on 8DPO because I'm impatient and knew that was about the earliest you could get a BFP. I had no symptoms yet.
2. Get a BFP?
I got a very faint positive on 8DPO.
3. And what type of test did you use?
I used wonfos and then bought a FRER to confirm. I got positives on both at 8DPO.

@hellobear: Both times before 4 weeks. Not sure how many dpo. Nausea both times but the second time the first trimester was much easier in terms of nausea. I would guess 9dpo with the first lo and hmm maybe like 12 with the second. Both times FRER.

Kid 1:
POAS 8dpo. Because I had a weird metallic taste in my mouth and I knew that was sometimes a pregnancy thing (and I was being paranoid because we'd had a bc mishap for the first time ever the day before I O'd. I knew because I was timing to prevent). Used a wondfo.
Kid 2:
POAS 10dpo (guessing, it was 4 days before missed period but I wasn't tracking O this time). We were trying. I have no self control lol. No symptoms though. Another wondfo.

Both times I got a at 11dpo. The second time around I tested only because I knew what implantation felt like, and I could feel it very distinctly. I first used a cheapie test, then confirmed with a FRER. I'm sure I could have got a earlier with a FRER, but I hate it when they are negative - it's like the double whammy of a BFN and having just wasted a lot of money peeing on the stupid stick.

So, with M, I tested at 10 or 11 DPO and got a BFN. Which was ok, bc we hadn't been trying that long and I wanted to drink on valentine's day haha! Then, a couple of days later, I got with with the flu and strep at the same time. I was down with that for over a week. By the time I recovered, AF was like 5 days late. So, I tested again and got my BFP!! VERY unexpected. Both times, it was a wondfo. Then, I tested three more days after my BFP on Wondfos just because until I went to the OB. ️
