Can 16 DPO be too early to test?

in TTC After a Loss

When I google the HPT - DPO %, I get conflicting info.. some say there should be enough HCG in FMU to detect a pregnancy by then. 

I tested this past Sunday, at 16 DPO with a FRER and got a BFN. I've had phantom symptoms (headache, nausea) and AF like cramping that's actually had me running to the bathroom to find no AF.

I'm currently on CD 38. I got a positive OPK on CD 17 (FF gave me dotted O on CD 16 -- but my temping times were not consistent) I am trying to hold out until Sunday to test. I have 1 FRER left and just KNOW if I test, AF will come.

Could it really be that I tested too early? I don't wanna get my hopes up but the dry heaving I've been doing all morning is really starting to get me thinking....

    So, you're 21dpo???  That is a super long LP.  I would think AF should have been here by now.  I say test again and if it's negative, call the dr and ask for blood work.

    I agree with this.  Good luck!

    Wow I agree with pp... there is a possibility that 16 DPO was still a touch early (I tested at 15 and 16DPO but had to cross my eyes to see a faint line... even bloodwork showed it was only 53) but now at 21DPO you should Def. test again.  If its still neg you need to call the dr.

    OK, thanks ladies. I'll test again. At this point, I shouldn't have to test with FMU, right? There should be enough HcG to show at any point during the day.

    Thanks for giving me hope!!!!!!!!!

    When I got my BFP, I was a week late, so probably about 22dpo.  I tested in the middle of the afternoon and got a super dark line right away.  So, no, I don't think you need FMU.  Good luck!!!

    OK, another stupid question.... do I need to wait 4 hours since i lasted went to the bathroom??? I went at 8am.....

    Thanks everyone... you've convinced me to POAS. If anything, it'll surely bring on AF!

    I don't know if you need to wait 4 hours or not. At this point, I'd hold it 4 hours and then POAS just to be safe.
