I am sitting at 8dpo with no symptoms to speak of except a little cramping and twinges here and there. So indulge me. When did you test? If you would like to add what brand of test you used, I would appreciate it!
Waited fir AF to show.. No clue how many days past O since I wasn't charting. I tested with a top care Walmart brand test (pink dye) got a very faint positive.. Then followed up the next dy with a digital.

I tested with a Wondfo at 10dpo and it was negative. At 12 dpo it was a very light positive. I went out and bought a First response and got another light positive at 13dpo.
I realized that I was past due to AF while watching Breaking Dawn Pt 1 & I kept having to get up to make a quick trip to the bathroom. Afterwards, I went to the store and picked up a test. I got the First Response 2 pack that had a bonus 3rd test included. I tested immediately when I got home fully expecting a negative. I didn't pay much attention to it & then as I walked past noticed it was BFP!!! I didn't believe it so since I had more tests I tested again in early the next morning which was also BFP & so was the 3rd!!!

I used clinical guard tests from 8 dpo on. I got a positive and confirmed with a frer at 12dpo. I used afternoon urine every day, so I'm pretty sure I could have tested positive at least one day sooner with fmu because that's when my symptoms really kicked in.
Mommy to N (3), J (2), and C (10 months). LO4 is due in mid-September.
I had only been keeping track of my cycle for the last two months, so I waited until I was pretty sure AF was late. I tested first with some generic store brand--we got a BF?. We seriously couldn't figure out if we had a super-duper faint line, an evap line, or maybe we were just seeing things altogether. We both kept going back and forth. We decided to give it another two days before testing again. This time I wasn't willing to mess around with deciphering lines, so I got the Clearblue digital--that's the way to go, I think.
BFP # 1 11/2011, MC 12/2011
BFP #2 11/2012, Delivered at 21 weeks on 3/16/13 due to complications with bilateral renal agenesis.
I started testing at 9 dpo and tested again at 11 and 13. Then started spotting and assumed my period was starting and stopped testing. Then realized when AF was 3 days late and I didn't really "start" that I should probably test and there was my positive! After months of trying and testing up until AF showed up, the one month I slacked I actually was
First + was with an internet cheapy, and it was crazy faint. Went and bought FRER and got + 10dpo, 11dpo and 12dpo. Had - tests with Clearblue Easy digital on 10dpo and 11dpo, finally got a + on 12dpo.

My chart looked like it was going triphasic at 9 DPO. I used a Wondfo OPK that afternoon just to test the OPK as HPT theory and it was negative so I chalked the temp spike up to a fluke. At 10 DPO my breasts felt a little fuller and more sensitive. At 11 DPO I was definitely feeling a tightness in my chest, and my temperature was still elevated, so I used an other Wondfo OPK and it was almost positive. I bought an FRER that evening and got my BFP.
I tested the day my period should have been starting, because I felt like it wasn't coming (none of my usual premenstrual symptoms). I wasn't charting, so I don't know dpo.
I ran out and bought a generic in the middle of my workday, then left work early to hit the doc's and get a blood test to confirm.

I tested with Wondfo at 10 DPO. Very faint positive. I ran out of the bathroom to show DH and said "Do you see a line?!?"
I then tested with FRER and still had a faint positive, but there was no doubt there was a line there.
Have taken a few since then (since it's still very early for me) to confirm the line is getting darker.
