TTC Related/POAS questions

1 - when do you start testing?  

2 - what tests are best for early results?

I told myself I was going to wait until I was late, but we are going to Vegas this weekend, so I might test at 9dpo and 10dpo before we go.  I'm trying to figure out if it will be an exercise in futility or if I might know something before we go.

I have looked at peeonastick.com but the chart really confuses me.  Maybe I'm stupid, but I couldn't figure it out at all.

    1.  Usually not until AF is late.  Last month I tested 2 days before AF was due - I tested and got a BFP early w/ DD2 (dollar $$ test).

    2.  About 10 DPO (2 days before AF).

    Good Luck!

    Dollar Tree tests worked really well for me. I'd wait until at least 10 DPO if I were you, but obviously if you wait a little longer you'll be more likely to get a BFP. I figured I would wait until I was late, too, and that didn't happen (although I didn't get my BFP until the day after AF was due).

    Good luck!

    1. In the past, I got 2 BFP's at 10dpo (and tested earlier but got bupkis) 2. I would stock up on $tree tests...cheap and most are 20-25hcg sensitive

    I usually start testing at 8 DPO,  I would  definitely  recommend FRER,if it's positive, I'll do a  digital to make sure.

    I started at about 8DPO with both of them. LOL

    I used $Tree tests, and got faint +s at 10DPO.

    Well, I have been pregnant 4 times now. 3 times I got my bfp on cd 10 and 1 time on cd 11. I always start testing on cd 10. First response work early. With this pregnancy, the day I got my bfp in the morning I went for bw in the late afternoon and my hcg was only 20.1 and it was detected. So it was less than that in the AM. GL and have fun in Vegas!

    Jealous over your Vegas trip!  I ALWAYS tested early....like 9 dpo.  And got very faint BFP's both times at 9 DPO.  So, then I'd take a digital just for confirmation and it'd always say "Pregnant".....so, you'll hear folks here say that digitals aren't as sensitive and you should wait until your late, but that hasn't been my experience at all!  I usually test with FRER followed by CBE Digitals.  GL!!!!!!!

    I always started testing at 10 dpo, got both my bfp's then.  I used $ store tests, which had faint lines, but the FRER always had a darker line that same day...good luck!
