Testing timing and Luteal Phase..

in Trying to Get Pregnant

Are most of you testing the day after your average luteal phase, or are you going by the general testing statistics? My luteal phase is 10 days.. does that mean I could/should test 11DPO or should I wait until I have better odds?

I did a little research that said most people got a BFP .5 days before their missed period... the average being 13.5 DPO because the average luteal phase is 14DPO...

I don't want to turn into a POAS addict and would appreciate any opinions or answers to this.. please and thanks ladies!

    you probably will have a crappier time testing.  If you implant on 9 or 10dpo you may not get a positive test until a day or two AFTER your AF was due.   Like 12dpo or 13dpo.

    I'm pretty sure I implanted with #1 on 9dpo (due to the dip)   got a pos. test on 13dpo.

    ETA:   and those tests that say "5 days before your missed period"?   Yeah, that means it may work that early for people with LPs that are 14 days or longer.

    Yes Agreed. I was approx 3 days past AF before I got a BFP with DS.
