How many DPOs can you test?

[Mallory]

Help!
I am hoping for a BFN actually, so testing too early won't help. The HPT packets all talk about days before AF, but I O very early in my cycle, so it would be helpful to know how many DPO is the earliest I can get an accurate result. And which brand should I use?

If you have a sensitive test I would test no earlier than 10DPO however to be safe 12-14 DPO will most likey give you a correct result.

Good Luck in getting the result you want!

Thank you Daintree Dream. I could only possibly be 7 DPO but I have tingly breasts and a very strong feeling.

wait for AF then test after if need be

I am guessing the reason you are asking is that you don't want to wait until AF is due...

I have got positives very feint at around 8dpo with sensitive tests (discover onestep).
If you really want to know and can't wait I would do a test at 10dpo if negative a positive should show up on a very sensitive test by 12 dpo...

Wishing you the result you want...

The earliest i have ever got a BFP is at 10DPO. However for a definate result i would either wait until AF comes or if she doesn't then test 18 days after the last time you DTD.

I got my BFP at 11 DPO. I cant remember what brand it was. I had a bloodtest done that day as well which confirmed it. You could get a bloodtest as that can detect small levels before AF is due.

Thank you everyone. I did a test this morning with Pregnosis (the only one I could get over Easter) and it was a BFN. This was probably 8 or 9 DPOs so I probably can't rely on it, but I do feel a little better. I'll try and get a discover onestep test today.

It's not that I don't want another baby, but my age would make it high risk, our family is settled as is, and I am the primary earner, so this would throw a very big spanner in the works. I felt a smidge disappointed with the BFN, but definitely more relieved.

I would say 10DPO using a sensitive brand like First Response. I got a BFP (quite a dark line) at 10DPO, which probably means that I would still have gotten a BFP around 8DPO). HTH

how about a blood test to but your mind as rest

[Mallory]

I think I might have to. The tingly nipples are not making me feel very relaxed about it!
