When can you test for BFP? Anyone know much about the early preg test kits? Had any luck using them? Which ones do you recommend?
Sarah,
The earliest I ever got a BFP was at 12DPO. That was using a Fortel Ultra & a internet cheapie.
But there are ladies out there that have got BFPs much earlier. I think Angel got a +ve at 10DPO.
Hope this helps.
Hey Sarah,
Yup, I got a faint BFP at 10DPO (if you're interested in seeing just how faint, click on my ticker to see some pics of my BFPs). I used a Crystal Clear midstream HPT (but used it in a cup, not actually midstream LOL), I think on the pack it says you can test as early as 7 days before AF is due. I tested that early because I had to start on aspirin as soon as I found out I was pg, so I guess that is why you might be testing early as well? Anyway, I would definitely recommend the CC midstream HPTs.
Good luck!!
Sarah,
I got a BFP with this pregnancy at 10DPO and like Angel, it was with a Crystal Clear mid-stream test. That was with first morning urine. I got a bit excited and tested again later that same day with a Discover One Step mid-stream test and got a BFP with that one too (with afternoon urine).
Good luck! Hope to see you make the move to PAML very soon! :D
(When do you think you will test?)

I was just wondering exactly that! You and I are only a day apart in our dpo & I was thinking it was going to be very hard not to test this month (usually have no problems with not testing until AF is due). Might be because I am charting and focusing on each day, rather than usually just waiting to see if AF rocks up (IYKWIM).
Im thinking should wait until at least 10dpo, which for me is Sat. Really hope you get that BFP!
Keen
well I tested this morning and got a BFN. It was probably too early. I am very confident that I am still getting my BFP this month (please please please). I had a dream last night that I had quads! 3 boys and a girl!
When are you going to test Keen? I might leave it now until AF is due which is Monday.
Im thinking I want to be able to hold out until Tuesday, but doubt I will this cycle. Like you I just have this very very good feeling, but then that changed a little this morning when I got AF type cramping, but still doing my best to stay positive....
Sorry about you getting a BFN... bet it was just a little too early.
I went into the charting your cycle thread and checked out all the charts of successful conception and saw when they got BFPs, and none were earlier than 10dpo...
Fingers crossed this is the cycle for us!
Keen
I might even give in and try tomorrow again. Just want to know ASAP as doctor told my on Monday that as soon as I get a BFP I am to call him and come to the hospital so I can start my Heparin shots. So I figure the sooner I know then the sooner I can get everything under control. Have to wait and see how good my willpower is. Would prefer to wait til Monday. What about if we make a pact to both test on Monday morning?
I had cramping the morning before I got a BFP with ~Lachlan~. DH and I were doing our groceries and he asked if I wanted a hpt, I said no as I had quite bad cramps already so AF was probably on her way. He put one in the trolley anyway. And the next morning I used it and it was BFP! So fingers crossed for you!
Funny how the cramping and all that messes with your head...
Im thinking yep lets make a pact to both test Monday morning. I'll definitely be in that.
Understand wanting to know ASAP to start the shots. I guess Im similar in having lost 3 now, want to do everything right from the very start (as best I can)
Keen
Cool, no cheating now! This is fun! I hope we both get to use those boarding passes on Monday!
Me too! :crossfingers: for both of us! Wonder if there is anyone else thinking about testing that can also test with us??
Keen
Hey guys can I join you two & test on Monday?????
Here's hoping that we all see BFP's on Monday.
Yaye! The more the merrier! How great would it be if we all got BFPs on the same day?
:crossfingers:
Keen
It would be the best & would mean a bit of a wait at the departure gate to board the preggie cruise.
Here's to Monday :crossfingers:
Hope you all get a :bfp: on Monday.
Good :luck:
Love
Michelle
Hi Sarah, Keen & Kirsty - I might test on Monday too 4 :luck: is lucky
unless AF gets there before that - I am 8 dpo now (I think) - :bdust: :pdust: to us all
hang in there girls - :noaf:
Trish - you are the same dpo as me.... oooh will be so good! Strength in numbers hey girls!
Keen
hey Keen - I think luck is on our side :crossfingers:
I am not sure how they count days past O but just got my snugglepie signature back - yah - and it now says 9 - I have 26 day cycle
we gotta get on that cruise soon
WOOHOO! That's 4 of us testing together on Monday! I hope we are all going on the same cruise! Anyone else out there want to join us on Monday?
I would love to hear some ideas on plans of telling DH the good news Monday night! I really want to do something special in order to tell him the good news if we are pg! Probably getting a little ahead of myself here but I'm so excited this month! Probably due to having other people to test with.
Sarah
I am trying to get excited too - what ideas do you have - my mind is a blank - I will just probably break down and cry for joy -won't have time for elaborate plans
:noaf: :noaf: :noaf: :noaf:
That's one each!
Hey, what about the rest of???
Only kidding, it would have to be mile long.. but at least the witch couldn't miss it :)
Wish you girls all the best with your testing :luck:
How would I tell DH?
Well, I have it all planned out.... have had for AGES ( :oops: )....
lovely dinner.... having all his faves.... oysters entree, then lightly grilled salmon with all fresh stuff, and a lovely dessert. During dinner his fave wine and then when dessert is served I have a card (already bought... again :oops: ), which will tell him that we are pregnant that I will put next to this dessert plate.
Should be nice enough... dont think I could be too different as he would expect something too early, and ask.
Keen
That sounds nice Keen, I was thinking of something similar. Just wish it wasn't daylight savings as it seems silly having a candlelit dinner when it's still light! I hadn't thought about a card though, that's a nice idea.
I think I will cook DH a romantic candlelit dinner and wrap up something like a dummy or a pair of booties and give it to him, then I won't have to say anything!
My plan so far is to put the +HPT (I'm thinking positive here!!) into a card with a message on it for him. Although he is already starting to get a bit suss about things with some of the stuff I'm experiencing. He keeps asking me to do a test & I keep fobbing him off, glad I have agreed to test with you guys so now I can tell him I have to wait till Monday coz we made a pact to do it then.
Good luck to all & here's loads of :bdust: :pdust: & :bluestick: :pinkstick: & :crossfingers: for us all.
See I couldnt do the wrapped up thing because I have a little box with a bow around it and inside that box is a pair of booties that say "I love Grandma" & "I love Grandpa", which we intend to give to DH's parents when we want to tell them. DH would probably guess what I was up to if I did that!
Wish it was nicer weather, though (has been raining here most every other day), because would like to make it a picnic, being daylight savings and all.
Keen
you guys (gals) are so romantic and such special ideas
I am :-k of ](*,) I just don't know what to do
any others got suggestions to add
I will be thinking of nothing else all weekend :bdust: :pdust: and :bfp: for everyone testing
keep the witch away
Kirsty -how many days are your cycles?
(Snuggle pie changes day in afternoon so now they have me 10 dpo )
I calculate 8 or 9 -I got faint +opk on day12 , darker + day 13 - so I thought it meant ovulate next day - what is right answer ?
Hey girls,
Goodluck to you all for Monday. Have my fingers and toes crossed for you all!!
Hhmmmm.... not feeling very positive about Monday.... feel like AF is on her way :( .
Keen
Keen ~ here's fingers crossed that it isn't AF at all.
Trish ~ my cycles are pretty much 28 days, & I'm pretty sure I O'd around day 12/ 13 this cycle. Can't help you out as far as +OPK's & when you ovulate with them as I don't use them. We decided to give it a few months of old fashioned just "doing it" & see what happened.
Sarah ~ how are you holding up? Any more good pg signs from you?
Here's to Monday & the very best of results for us all.
Oh please, oh please, oh please [-o< let us get FIVE BFPs IN HERE ON MONDAY!
Keen
I REALLY hope we see some BFP's on Monday!!!!! Good luck girls!!!
Just so you know guys I am thinking if things stay the same I am likely to be doing my test at around 6am! To be sure to get that first morning pee, which like I have said has been waking me at that time each day! I'll let y'all know as soon as I do!
Keen
All you gorgeous ladies planning on testing Monday, I don't need to wish you luck! I'll pop in next week & Congratulate you all on your BFP's!
Thinking of you & sending positive +++ vibes your way!
the rest of you lovely ladies I'm sure will be using those boarding passes before you know it...
:grouphug:
Hi girls,
Goodluck for Monday, fingers crossed you will all get a BFP.
Take care leah
only 3 sleeps to go...
Back to feeling positive today. Temps went up again... feeling a bit 'yucky' in the tummy. having a bit of trouble with eating (VERY unlike me), still getting up to pee, this morning at 4:30! No other real obvious symptoms. But I got offered a job yesterday, so ifs its gonna happen now would be the time it would most likely happen, Im thinking.
Hows everyone else feeling today?
Keen
Keen - I saw your temp chart - Looks & sounds very promising . :crossfingers: :bdust: :pdust: to us all
Me - this morning went to make omelete - and thought egg smelt funny - but was in date DH said not really smelly to him - chucked it anyway and next one still a bit too but used it.
Last preg my sense of smell was really sensitive and I couldn't stand smell of aftershave/perfume and heaps of other stuff - early on too :crossfingers: My temps are still up too - usually start dropping by day24 - tho I don't take at same time very morning - varys between 5.30- 6.30 or 7am.So I wondering how accurate this is.
Have a huge craving for chocolate yesterday - ate a choc cookie
Clutching at any straws now
Sarah ,Kirsty & Akimum how are you
