When did you get a +HPT?

[ZigZag]

Just wondering when others got a +HPT result. How many days after ovulation was it? I know its possible to get a positive result prior to your period being due and have heard people can get results 8 days after ovulation but wondered how regular that was / is?

With our DD I was 5 weeks when I got a +result.

I used to POAS a few days before AF was due. I think I used to start around DPO 10, but I stopped because I have had a couple of chemical pregnancies and this really disapointed me. Now I wait till DPO 14 at least, then I know that I'll get a nice strong positive

I was 3 weeks 5 days preg when i did first poas!!! did 6 in 3 days before getting a blood test

by the two dates i've been given, my earliest positive was at 7dpo - my strong positive wasn't til 13dpo though

With my first pg, I got a really, really faint line at around 8 dpo (I had a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks), then with my second, I didn't get a line until 16 dpo. Then with this one, I got a faint line at 14 dpo. I tested at 8 dpo and got nothing. I am a serial tester but am not as bad this time round

I have never yet got a BFP before my period was due - and trust me it wasn't for lack of testing.

With this pregnancy i did a test at 8 DPO and i got the faintest of faintest lines. I didnt even show my DH coz i dont even think he would have been able to see it - but it was there.....

10DPO for me, it was clear but not strong. Got a line as strong as the control at 12 DPO, with First Response.

Thanks for your replies. I'm now on 14DPO, on CD28 of an irregular 26 day cycle (previous cycle was 23 days) ....have had the faintest of faintest lines you could ever get I reckon this morning..........do you reckon it'll stick? I don't have my hopes up yet because I would've thought it would be pretty definite at 14DPO??? That said my boobs are ridiculously swollen (some swelling is normal but this is way bigger than normal)......what do you think? Too faint to give it any hope?

Should I go to the doc if I haven't got a strong positive early next week?

P.S. have used HPT brand Crystal Clear. CD11 and CD12 were both neg HPT.

[briggsy's girl]

you can always hold onto hope until the witch AF arrives. but being realistic about things like chemical pg's is a good way to protect yourself against a nasty shock if it happens!

i'm 10 weeks today - and i was probably 8 weeks before i started to relax (still in a bit of denial though!)

[ZigZag]

Thanks Briggsy's Girl. I think I'll be in more shock if this one sticks around or gives a real strong positive to be honest. I've got so used to seeing neg HPT.

Next question: how long does a molar or chemical pregnancy stick around? Not saying it is one, but have no idea about these things having only experienced one pregnancy in my life thus far.
