Negative test 10DPO

[Marieella]

Hi everyone. After some advice if possible please. I suffered a missed miscarriage back in June which was discovered at my 12 week scan. Since then I have had a period which came about 6 weeks after. I have used an app to track my ovulation days since but I’m not overly sure how long my cycles are as I was on the pill for years prior to my miscarriage in June. I am feeling exhausted, abit sick and my nipples have been sore. I tested this morning (10DPO) and it’s negative. I did both a CB digital and a strip test. Am I testing too early? It’s really hard after experiencing a loss. I keep seeing different things online so any advice would be helpful. Thanks very much x

Hi OP, so sorry for your loss first of all.

10dpo isn’t too early to test, I had a nice strong positive at 10dpo with my daughter and currently 6.5 months pregnant with number 2 and also had an obvious positive at 10dpo. Typically if you were far enough along to have symptoms then the HCG would be high enough for a positive test.

I would say though if you aren’t testing ovulation then you don’t really know how many dpo you are, the apps are just a guess really so you may be earlier than you think. Good luck x
