   This is a question for all those ladies that have been preggers before.  How soon can you test? Has anyone experience a BFP before a missed period?

   Wow 8 weeks! Were you at all suspicious that you were pregnant before getting a BFP with your first?

   With this bubba I tested 10 days after and got a line, so 3 days before period due, I found the more expensive wee on a stick worked for me not the droplet ones , no idea why!!
 Good luck!!!     |

   I am not sure I like this waiting game and I still have another week to go before AF is due!    |

   QB!!!! Congrats!!    Sunny, I've never tried before AF due (but I've tried on the day   ). The waiting sucks ay? I tested two days ago, should have been a day after AF due but got BFN. Still no AF and now FF is questioning whether I ovulated. Weird! I wish I had a definite answer (=BFP or AF).

   By the way......when do you 'feel' pg? Is the week your AF is due too early? I just thought the only time I"ve been pg, I kind of 'felt' it, even early. But can this change from pg to pg?

   It will change from pg to pg depending on your level of ms etc. The only pg I properly knew before testing was Kryssi, and I was 7 1/2 weeks when I found out. By that time I couldn't fit my three-week-new jeans and was feeling a bit nauseous, in between cravings for steak burgers. The other two girls I tested about due date and really only knew that I was having pg symptoms (instead of AF symptoms) because of the BFP.

   I tested with McKayla a few days before AF was suppose to arrive. But then again I just got that feeling and I only got that every time I was pregnant except with the biochemical miscarriage.
