When to test

According to an app on my phone, my implantation date was yesterday. When should I take a test and it be positive if I am pregnant?

It's hard to say. When you test for pregnancy you never want to do it in the afternoon. This is generally because your urine is diluted and the hCG concentration is not high enough to register on a test.

Because there is no way to actually be 2 weeks pregnant (pregnancy is dated from LMP, so a female is deemed "pregnant" for 2 weeks when she's not--at 2 weeks you're ovulating) I assume you were actually 4 weeks. A general time when most find out they are. Your period is likely due in a week or a few days, so try waiting till your next is supposed to come and retest with first morning urine. Depending on the result you get you'll know what to say and/or ask at your appointment.

Thank you. I took a test last night and it was negative, but I had the same symptoms I had before. I got to 9 1/2 weeks last time, and found out when I was 2 weeks. So, u think I should still wait or give up til next month? I have an obgyn appt beginning of November.

Actually missed miscarriages are pretty common. Miscarriage In itself is very common and every female in her lifetime will generally have at least, even if she doesn't know it. Keep positive, it'll happen for you.

Last november I had unprotected sex and by the end of december I had experienced a missed period, I kept feeling really tired, and my boobs were really sore and heavy. I decided to take an hpt and it was in fact positive. So I took four more and they were bfp a well. Well the day of my birthday in january, I miscarried. Then on june fourth I had sex again and two or three days later I felt unlike myself... I had a feeling that I was pregnant. I missed my period and my boobs felt sore and my body was constantly on fire. I waited until july fifth to test and I got my bfp!! Unfortunately, I missed carrried the last week of july :/ well in august I had my period on like the 29th or 30th, and ended the 3rd or 4th of well I had sex on the 13th and according to my calculations that's the day I ovulated. He pulled out but I'm sure he pre cummed in me and perhaps squirted a little inside of me. A couple days after that I noticed slight little cramps on my right side of lower abdomen. I kept having the slight cramps up until my period was due, and a few days before my af should have appeared I noticed a clear discharge when I went to the bathroom, especially when I wiped. One or two days after being pastdue the discharge was still there but it had very light brown steaks in it, I was sure it was my af but the streaking stopped and I am now two and a half weeks late. Although I took two or three hpt and they show up negative. My boobs are not sore but I am very bloated, I perhaps have been urinating more often, my arms feel very tired, I feel exhausted earlier during the day than usual, and the other day I almost fell out.. I get dizzy alot. Could I perhaps still be pregnant but for some reason the tests are showing bfn?! Please help.

You can test in a few days, but very few things can say when implantation happened. It can occur anywhere from 6-12 days after ovulation.
