Question about testing

Regarding HPTS, specifically our good friend FRER:

I know a lot of women have gotten their BFP at 12 dpo. My question is, can you test at 12 dpo even if it is not 5 days before AF is due like the test says? Also, what do you think about testing at 10 dpo? (I know some women have gotten a BFP this early) 10 dpo for me would be 7 days before AF is due. I'll make myself wait until 12 dpo if you ladies think I should wait until at least then.

Thanks!

Thanks, girls. I appreciate all the advice and kind words. Maybe I'll find a dollar store nearby. Or I may just wait until 12 dpo. I got my last BFP around 12 dpo, I think, so maybe it's better to wait until then. I just don't want to drive myself nuts or anything!

Hugs,
Sue

Hey girl,

Why don't you just stock up on a bunch of cheapies and tt on those for the next few days?? That way you won't be wasting money and if it says no (which I know it will not) that way it will not be upseting!!! I never got my BFP until the day AF was suppose to arrive so, do not get frustrated by testing early!! I really really hope this is your month, I have followed your story for a long time and I always admired your strength and courage.I will be praying extra hard for you these next few days!! Good luck girl and let us know!!!!

I think it depends when you ovulated sweety and when you get implantation. If you did get negative before 12 days past ovulation that doesn't mean you are pregnant. I tested on 13 and got a BFP and i was shocked. Id say the longer you leave the better the result thats if you can wait that long sweety. Good luck xx
