Trying to Get Pregnant

when do you normally test

I know there is that chart that has the percentage accuracy based on how many dpo you are. But I was wondering how soon have people tested?

Re: when do you normally test

  • I test whenever I feel like it.  I've tested at 8dpo before.  Seeing a BFN doesn't bother me anymore so I just test whenever I feel like it.

  • I was looking at my early "charts" earlier today before I knew what was up and I tested way early. Now, never before DPO 11 or 12 and only if temps are up. That being said, I've gotten all BFNs so you have to take my advice with a grain of salt!
  • I test whenever nobody is here to slap my hand and tell me not to.  I have a 10 day LP usually, and the damn box says "test 5 days before period is due", so apparently I have tested at 5 DPO.  At the time I didn't know... wasn't charting yet.  But, ya.  That's my shameful story.

  • The earliest (and only) time I've tested was 10 DPO on New Years Day. I'm holding out for 14 DPO, if it comes.

  • I tested at 11 DPO last month and got a BFN. But before this month I never had an LP over 10 days.
  • I think they recommend at least 1 day after missed period for the best accuracy.



     


  • I usually would start after 9dpo.

  • I'm testing for the first time tomorrow, DPO16 - I know a test probably would have been accurate before now, but I have a longer cycle so I wanted to wait until a bit later on.
  • I wanted to test at least 13 DPO but gave into the temptation and tested on  11 DPO
