TTC after 35

If you got a BFP...

what's the earliest DPO that you tested on, and got the BFP.

 I am REALLY trying SO hard to control myself. I SWORE that I would not test unless AF was late. I'm not due for AF until Mon or Tues... but I had butterfly-like feelings for 5 days staright, then on Monday it turned to cramps and bloating, then just cramps, through this AM.

I HATE THE 2WW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: If you got a BFP...

  • I never really tested, I usually waited for AF. This cycle I did test at 14dpo.

    People are fond of saying think of it as peeing on money if you do so too early. Perhaps this chart might help a bit. And GL this cycle!!!

    HPT Accuracy Results Percentages: (Based on a 25mIU sensitive test)
    10 dpo : 35%
    11 dpo : 51%
    12 dpo : 62%
    13 dpo : 68%
    14 dpo : 74%
    15 dpo : 80%
    16 dpo : 88%
    17 dpo : 92%

  • I got my BFP yesterday morning, DPO 12 and this morning, DPO 13.  I was expecting my period this coming Saturday.  I had dull, ache menstrual-like cramps but with some sharp stabbing pains on 9 DPO.  My cramps almost completely went away the next day.

  • If you are expecting AF on Monday, maybe you can test tomorrow with FMU!  

    Good luck to you!  (**** throwing baby dust your way****)

    Thanks! I knew I could count on you for a reality check ;) and please PLEASE share some of your baby dust w/me!!!
  • With my DS, I was at the OBGYN's office for an annual visit and thought I might be pregnant.  So, they gave me a test and it was negative. It turns out that I miscalculated my AF due date.  I was actually due with my AF 3 days later.  Well, when I was a day late and no AF, I tested and got my BFP!  So, the moral of my story is that I guess I didn't have enough hormones in my urine for the HPT to detect pregnancy early.  Just keep that in mind.

    okay, now I am right back to square one - and want to test!

    ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! LOL

  • Dina, my AF is due on Monday too and I'm going to wait.  I've been feeling dull cramping for the past 3 days, too early for PMS.  I hope this a good sign for us!  

    Well....maybe Saturday wouldn't be too early....NO!  I'm going to wait!!  I like the "peeing on money" analogy.  Keep us posted!

  • Pissing on money is a great way to look at it.  I actually got some HPT strips for free for ordering stuff from early-pregnancy-tests.com, so I didn't feel so badly POAS on them.  When I got two BFPs on the free HPT strips, I took the plunge and POAS on an "expensive" First Response HPT cartridge.  The big ol' First Response cartridge was a lot easier to read than the little strips, and I didn't believe I was pregnant until I saw the two lines clearly on the big ol' thing.

    LOL ok, deal!

     wow - so you had cramping, so did I... and so did UTKD, who got a BPF 2 days in a row! Now I really won't be able to sleep...

    FWIW, I got cramping really early.  I was thinking "WTF?  This is way too darn early for PMS!"  I usually don't start cramping until a few days before AF, but I got early cramping and for one day, my boobs were so sore it hurt to shower (and I have teeny weeny boobies).  It was another "WTF?" moment.  

    Good luck to you, too!  (**** Throwing some of the baby dust I got from Cathy your way ****)   

    Monday will be a good day to test.

    i got a whole bag full of HPT's from Dollar Tree, so I am not really worried about the $ aspect... but I remember how my heart absolutely sank everytime I got a BFN (DH and I tried 3 yrs ago for a few months, but then had something occur that put a stop to it)

     Just dropping in this thread to bask in the above!

    I got my BFP on Day 14 after ovulation (and tested several days in a row prior), BUT my BFP didn't stick, so I may not be a good indicator!

  • I got my BFP's at 13dpo FMU. Testing any soomer me resulted in BFN's.

    GL:)

  • I got mine at 11 dpo, which was this past Monday. But my AF was about three days late. I had two days last week of AF like cramping. I actually had brown spotting for a week before the BFP. So I kept waiting for the real deal. It never came. GL!!!
  • I caved and tested at 10 DPO, got a BFN. Waited 2 more days and tested the night of 12 DPO and got a super faint positive. On 13 DPO it was quite a bit darker with FMU.

    I would not test earlier than 12 DPO again. Good luck!

  • I tested 11dpo and got a positive but, ended in m/c.  I got pregnant with Emerson right after that so, it was a total shock.  Needless to say with my second pregnancy, it was the day of my missed period.

  • I got a BFN on both 10 and 11 dpo and then didn't test until 14dpo, which is when I got my BFP! Good luck!
    Me: 44 DH: 42. DS born healthy at 40 weeks 8/24/09. TTC since then with no luck or ART. Surprise BFP 8/6/14... MMC @ 8 weeks 4 days... Miss you everyday sweet baby angel.
  • I got one at 12 DPO, but only tested because I wanted to drink some wine. Thought I'd been having AF cramps. Normally I try to wait it out and watch for my  temperature drop. Good luck!
