Anybody got a bfp at 11dpo?

[Muffin7]

Hello. So, I'm in a bit of a pickle, we are ttc and I will be going to a (very) boozy hen do when I am 11dpo, is it worth testing before heading out? Has anybody ever got a bfp at that early stage?

Only there is plenty of evidence in excess it can negatively impact your chance of conception and can cause an increased risk of miscarriage and birth defects and premature birth, that plus the increased risk of injury to yourself when under the influence of alcohol which in turn could cause issues itself. It's irresponsible of you to claim people should drink to excess when possibly pregnant as 'your GP said it was fine' staying within NHS guidelines maybe she meant. Listen I had the very odd drink in pregnancy as I weighed up everything and made an informed decision. I didn't tell her not to have any just to be cautious she doesn't want to look back and kick herself, I work with gynaecologist, midwifes, obstetricians and reproductive endocrinologist so I think I will favour medical advice over someone online saying they got wrecked and their pregnancy went fine. Like I said I'm pleased it went well for you

I did. She's now 5 months old and blissfully asleep on my chest.

You're not actually pregnant until your period is late. I'm specifically talking about the 2 week wait and testing EARLY. If you implant late you wouldn't even get a positive, but could still be pregnant at a later date. Hence saying just don't test.

They'd be way fewer babies born if drinking heavily meant you couldn't get pregnant!

I understand caution after losses, but I really do think you're going over the top.

There'd.

Oh, and I think the evidence you're referring to means 'over a sustained period', not a 'one off boozy session for a hen do'. You can't apply that evidence to this situation. It's scaremongering.

Listen I could spend all day linking you to published medical papers there's plenty on the BMJ covering the affects of moderate alcohol consumption in early embryo development, implantation of blastocyst embryos and effect on the endometrium but your attitudes clear so I won't waste my time. I'm not scaremongering at all you just can't claim there's no evidence, it's irresponsible

Apologies, I definitely didn't mean to cause such a debate, just wanted to find out if it was even worth testing at 11dpo.

I think I have decided to test, if positive I won't drink (everyone I am going on the hen do with is well aware we are ttc so I will just be honest) and if negative I will not go crazy, just a couple of glasses of champagne throughout the course of the day.

Sorry it has turned into a big debate on your post! Good luck for testing and have a lovely night either way

Don't worry at all. If anybody is interested I will update once tested next weekend.

Does preg tests go darker still if it is a chemical pregnancy? I have had 2 positive,1 yesterday faint and 1today stronger, i have read alsorts and absolutely terrified myself, any input would be awesome, also af still not due for 3 days

It's a good sign if you're getting darker lines @hayley FX. Also good luck to @muffin7 with the testing. I always try to have no alcohol in tww but I do have a moderate amount in the other half of the month.

8dpo here.. good luck!!

@gemsie1984 Oh wow, congratulations. I'm only a few dpo so can't test yet, will pick up a frer over the weekend though as they seem to be the best tests to use

No sorry muffin this was my BFP from 8dpo.. I'm now 9 weeks :)

@gemsie1984 How are you feeling? Has your pregnancy been okay?
