you got a BFP?
I tested the day before my missed period, and got a BFN. 3 days later I got a faint line! I walked to the OB/midwifery that same morning to make an appointment, and saw them at 5w3d.
according to my due date, I would have been 3w4d pregnant when I found out. I guess I found out earlier than most people do, since I was so anxious.
Re: how far along were you when...
9 DPO. It's ridiculous, because we had been trying for more than a year, and I had a personal rule of never testing before 12 DPO. I don't know what I was thinking, testing so early.
BFP #2 07/12/2012 (EDD 03/23/13); m/c 07/28/12
BFP #3 12/05/2012 (EDD 08/19/2013); baby girl born 08/09!
IUI #4 BFP EDD 5.5.2012 m/c 10/1/2012
Surprise! BFP 12/4/12 EDD 8/8/2012
This is actually not true, especially not around these parts with the number of women who chart. Whether or not you have children has less to do with it than how closely you are paying attention.
As for me, I found out at 3w5d bc I refused to test earlier.
21 DPO. I didn't really think I had ovulated. We went on vacation and I forgot my thermometer, so I had given up temping at the end.
My cycles are so irregular to begin with. Also, I never had a period between my Sept. miscarriage and this pregnancy. The only reason I decided to test was because I was so tired and kept getting headaches (which I never get).
I drank the day before my BFP too, knowing that I was going to test the next day. Totally intentional haha.
yes, my first. like you said, every pregnancy is different. I have irregular periods and if the ultrasounds are correct, I ovulated late. I wasn't charting, but I was tracking my periods.
I think I was 16dpo, 4w2d along. This was a little bit more unexpected than baby #1, hence why I didn't test for a few days.

Since I don't drink or anything I just didn't feel the need to test right away. But at 20 DPO and no period yet it was pretty obvious what happened.
