when to do hpt??

[Uptowngril]

Hi
I need some advice.
Here's my story: Had a natural m/c on the 1st of Jan (was between 4 and 6 weeks pregnant), stopped bleeding on the 7th of Jan, straight after the bleeding stopped we started to ttc, but that was just not my month, I got AF on the 29th Jan. Then I started a ovulation tracker on this forum, used opt. Did everything around and ovulation day according to the book. Now I'm on 5 dpo, when can I start doing home pregnancy test? Me and dh whats a baby so badly, hoping that the ttc days are over and that there's something growing inside already. Really don't what to rush the hpt as I don't to be disappointed when I get a "maybe" false negative.

I decided to wait a while longer, will do a test on Friday or Saturday, I'm currently on dpo12 today, so I figured it would have been a bit early this past weekend! U wanted to test so badly you don't understand, but I tried not to. As the test in South Africa is just not that good as those overseas, ours doesn't even show a faint line like yours do.

so did you take the test just wondering how you are doing

thanks for your input, I'd rather take a negative than sitting and wondering if its positive or negative. I know it's a little to early for pregnancy test, but I'm just curious that's all. Me and dh been through allot so I just wanna know, you know!

Hun don't be to disapointed if it's negative still at 10DPO. I took my test at 12DPO and it was very faint. You can look at it in my profile photos.

Good luck

thank you for your comments, decided to take a test on Sunday, will be on 10dpo, hope I will get some good news then! but I don'y want to get too excited, really don't what to get disapointed

i took a dollar store test one day before my missed period and it showed positive so i think it varies in diff women haha well let us know what you find out

I have got an early positive with my now 18 months old, we were trying so were super excited and couldn't wait either.  We are trying again and just went through a miscarriage as well,  with this one I got a faint positive right at that "5 days before missed period".  Good luck, but don't be discouraged :)

thanks to you both for your reply!I read on a couple of posts that some get positive as early as dpo9, thats why I asked, I am so eager to know if its a + or -. Thanks anyway, will then wait...eish

i agree with Brittny27, i used to test all the time but after ttc for 33 months with no joy i'm just going to wait until AF is late, i've also given up looking for symptoms as well as i get so many pre-pregnancy symptoms that always lead to AF.  i wish you loads of luck!!

It's called the 2 week wait because it takes 12-14 days to get a positive. I would not test earlier than 12dpo.
