Hi ladies, how early did you get your positive pregnancy test? Was it before your period was due or a few days later? Thank you x

but what is the point when fewer than half survive? utterly pointless, and inventing an entirely new and unnecessary source of modern trauma

I think you are wrong greenleaf. Once the zygote has implanted you are pregnant. It might not last, but you start producing hcg. This could be up to two weeks before your period, depending on the length of your cycle. It takes a week or so to build up to detectable levels.

It is possible to have a positive test before your period is due, but it depends on when you conceive and how long your cycle is, rather than the test itself.

I got mine four days before my period was due. Strong results on Boots test and first response. Now 17 weeks x

you cannot get a pregnancy test that early, no matter what is claimed on the packaging.

You are testing for conception, not an established pregnancy.

Totally pointless, most conceptions don't become established

For one pregnncy I got a positive about two days before my period was due but then I miscarried about 4 weeks later.

For both of my successful pregnancies I didn't get a positive (despite having been testing daily for about a week) until the day my period was due and even then the lines were faint.
