Would you trust a test at 12DPO?

nursegirl11 · March 2011

I took a test this morning and it gave me the awful words..NOT PREGNANT..now of course this is probably accurate regardless...BUT could that still be too early even with FMU?...I'm having weird symptoms but they could all be phantom...I'm just wondering if you would test again if AF didn't come?..or have you heard or experienced testing what you thought was late enough and then got a positive a few days later?

At 12DPO it could be correct or it could be incorrect. Test every 2 days until AF or a BFP. Good Luck.

Digitals are less sensitive then other tests, so it is still possible that you could be. How do you know you are 12 DPO? Do you chart or temp? Because if you don't then you might have ovulated late, and not known.

Do you know for sure that you O'd 12 days ago through charting? If not, you could have just O'd late...I would wait a few days and retest again. GL!

I do not temp. But I do go by EWCM and OPK's. I also felt what I believe to be ovulation pains Friday the 18h. And got a positive OPK thursday and friday morning...so my 12dpo is not exact but im SURE its within that time frame.

If it was a BFP I would trust it. But there times when the hcg is not enough to register. Test again in two days with FMU if AF does not arrive.

As you probably know, a positive OPK doesn't mean that you've ovulated for sure. Only tracking your waking temperature can confirm that. Assuming you did in fact O when you think you did, just keep testing every few days until you get AF or a BFP. GL! I've heard of BFPs as late as 23 dpo.
