Negative would be sucky, Chemical pregnancy suckier....

Think I'll join the ranks of testing day after AF is due]]> Fri, 06 Aug 2010 15:16:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35101&PID=1120041&title=when-do-you-test-why#1120041 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35101&PID=1120017&title=when-do-you-test-why#1120017 Author: CarleyRose

I usually wait until AF is due, but i have a really short LP (currently under investigation). I don't like the disapointment when i get a - test!

Thanks for all the replies!!!! Very interesting opinions....

I didn't know about Chemical Pregnancies, googled it, and I understand why people test later to avoid dissapointment...

FF suggests I test 3 days after AF is due, but I'm thinking day after which would be 15DPO.

I am pretty patient so hopefully should last okay to then - unless AF comes first....

Thanks ladies ]]> Fri, 06 Aug 2010 10:04:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35101&PID=1119764&title=when-do-you-test-why#1119764 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35101&PID=1119737&title=when-do-you-test-why#1119737 Author: Babykatnz

With DD I tested at 13DPO, which is a day late for me, and even then I only tested because I was charting and my temps went back up, when they would normally stay down.

This time I knew we had a chance, and my temps were staying up way above coverline, so i tested a lot earlier than I usually would at 8DPO (only because I was peeing lots, and feeling a little 'off' plus peer pressure in the charting thread ) which was BFN, then on 10DPO got an extremely faint BFP

After my scan, and looking at my chart again, I believe I ovulated 2 days later than marked on my chart, which means I got the BFP on 8DPO, BUT my HCG levels have been tracking pretty high for gestation so that could by why.]]> Fri, 06 Aug 2010 09:30:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35101&PID=1119737&title=when-do-you-test-why#1119737 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35101&PID=1119659&title=when-do-you-test-why#1119659 Author: jazzy

I guess it depends on what your cycles are like ...if you have a long LH then testing before AF could show a pos result mine is about 12days & I have only got pos results when AF is late.

Bahaha I was/am a serial tester I try to wait until 12DPO but often cave about 10 or 11DPO The disappointment does suck big time though so I should really just wait until 14/15DPO!

For my BFP I tested at 16DPO, by then I knew I had a 14 day LP, and AF was 2 days late.

I had tested earlier than that during TTC and gotten -ve results followed by AF 1-2 days later.

Getting -ve HPTs sucks, which is why I waited.

Some ladies of course aren't that patient, and if you are UTD some of th HPTs can pick up HCG levels at 9DPO.]]> Thu, 05 Aug 2010 17:01:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35101&PID=1119244&title=when-do-you-test-why#1119244 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35101&PID=1119226&title=when-do-you-test-why#1119226 Author: KarenMae

Hi,

Being a first timer I was wondering about timing for testing....

FF suggests 18DPO for me being my first cycle, but was thinking about testing a bit earlier (not too much earlier).

Have had a look through forums and see that people have got BFP as early as 8 days, but some people tend to wait quite a bit longer, even after TTC for quite a while....

Was interested in people's thoughts and reasons for their testing on particular days? ]]> Thu, 05 Aug 2010 16:41:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35101&PID=1119226&title=when-do-you-test-why#1119226
