When would you say safe to test?

With baby #1 I had a false negative and I am trying to avoid that, so when would you say safe to test?  Last cycle (only cycle since no IUD) was only about 23 days.  Got period on June 3rd.  Last night felt weird nausea.  This morning totally dizzy.  Had light pink spotting Monday/ Tuesday and now totally gone.  My husband looked at me this morning, like, hello, you are pregnant.  But I think it is still too early to even test.  Maybe Sunday?  Still think that would be a little early if my cycle was going to be a little longer this month? What would you do?

Test the day after your longest cycle or longest LP.

 HPT accuracy DPO 

10 dpo : 35% 
11 dpo : 51% 
12 dpo : 62% 
13 dpo : 68% 
14 dpo : 74% 
15 dpo : 80% 
16 dpo : 88%

OK, thank you.  Day 17 would be in like a week- so I guess I have at least that long to wait!  Appreciate the chart.

I don't think she knows what DPO she is...

 

I would say until you know when you are ovulating, test around day 28 and once a week after until AF.

I do know DPO is, and I am pretty sure I know the date- which would make it end of next week for 17 days.  But thanks for the lack of confidence.

Sorry- taking back the snarky reply.  I read it too fast- I don't think you were saying I didn't know what it meant, just that I didn't know the date.  I do think I know the date- but anyway, it would be 28 days end of next week anyway.  So I will still go with that.
