When did you get a positive HPT?

So on a few post I've read through I've seen it said that a lot of woman don't get a positive until they are 8 weeks along. I had never heard that before until going on this site. It makes sense in a way but then again if that were true why do they tell you to test when you miss your period. That would be about 5 weeks. So I figured why not ask real woman who are or have been pregnant when they got their first positive on a HPT? And for those how never got a positive HPT when did you find out you were expecting?

With my daughter I found out the day of my missed period so 5 weeks.

I took a test 2 days before I was due for my period and got a very faint positive.  I actually thought it was negative when I took it because it was that light.  I went downstairs and had a glass of wine with dinner.  I went back up and saw the faint positive then freaked out that I may have hurt the baby. I was about 4 weeks along or like my doc likes to tease ... 5 minutes pregnant...lol.  I confirmed with a digital the next day and did a blood test at my doctor that week.

My AF dosen't come every month, so last year, I had my AF in March, and April didn't come so didn't think anything other then it will come when she pleases. Well I was prego, didn't find out until I had an u/s. I was 13 wks along. Urine test came back negitive, and the blood test, my number were too low.
