How early can you test with internet cheapy tests?

[sweetangel7]

So, I'm pretty sure that the ic's can detect 25 units of hcg but at what point should you have that if you are pregnant?  I am due for af on the 15th (I'd be 14 dpo...) and I am a testaholic and for some reason, I think this might be my cycle...I hope my intuition is right =)  But, realistically, can I test at 10 dpo?  I have a bunch of internect cheapies and a couple from the dollar store...

HI!! I am nervous and excited for you!

I personally think you should wait a few more days. I know the waiting is brutal, but I look at it this way..

If you test now and get a BFN...you are just going to get test addicted until the right "time frame" anyway.. So, I KNOW how much you want this and I say patience... =)

I say wait a few more days to save your sanity.. Even if it's just a little... ; )

It depends on the individual, not every woman levels double the same, this is what i got off line far as hcg levels in your system.  So you could be preggo and only have 20mui of hcg and be a month preggo, and a test may not pick up the levels.  I use the $tree test for hpks and opks, they have worked well for me, last pregancy i got positive 11 days before my cycle, but my numbers were hi.  I ll keep my finger crossed that you get a BFP.
