How soon to take a test?

Just wondering if it really has to be your morning pee to be most accurate and how soon do you ladies test?

Re: How soon to take a test?

  • Only if you can answer these:

    1) Do you know when you ovulated & how do you know you did?

    2) How long are your LPs? 

    3) Are you recently off BCP?

  • First morning pee is the most concentrated, so it is the best to use. You can use any pee though, but try to wait at least a few hours since your last potty break and don't drink anything for a while before.

    Some women test as early as 9DPO, others (like me) wait until their period doesn't show up.

  • As tempted as you are to test early try not to. I just learned this lesson the hard way. I POAS before the missed period and got a BFP. Lo and behold 3 days later my HcG levels dropped and I was told I had a "chemical pregnancy" (a very early miscarriage). So had I waited to test I would have never even known that I was pg therefore would have been spared the heartache of knowing I lost it. Just my two cents.
  • Move along now.
  • I got my BFP the night before my periods were supposed to show up.
