When did you get your BFP?

[Rockchick1984]

Me and DH are TTC at the moment. Already have one DS who wasn't planned and I only found out around 6 weeks when I realised my period hadn't arrived

Trying to decide when it's worth taking a pregnancy test, so please can you tell me when you tested positive, was it only after your period was due?

With my twins I got my BFP two days before my period was due, with DD I got my BFP on CD21, so I can only assume I ovulated early that cycle as I don't normally ovulate until around CD21, but I'm an obsessive tester.

I tested positive about 5 days after my period was due.........I had miscalculated and realised I was actually 5 days late as opposed to 3, BFP!

10 DPO for me.
If I remember rightly from the leaflet in the FRER box, about 60-70% positive at 9dpo, up to 99% at 16dpo. So it depends a bit on how long your latent phase is. The best way to be sure of the result is to wait, but I wasn't any good at that so bought Internet cheapies and confirmed with FRER.
You also have to decide if you'd want to know about a "chemical" pregnancy. Up to 50% of pregnancies are lost and many of these are even before your period is due. 2nd pg I knew I was pregnant for a week before I lost it, whereas if I hadn't tested early, I'd probably have just thought my period was a couple of days late. I'd rather know though, at least I knew I could get pregnant. Just something to think about.
Very best of luck. TTC is incredibly stressful.

12DPO for my BFP Good luck!

12dpo. Puked at work, that was my first clue. Got a BFP on an Internet cheapy two days before AF was due and rushed out and bought a First Response early response test gave me a clear line. Waited until 2 days after AF was due to try a digital!

I tested neg when period was due but pos a week after...

Very faint line two days before I was due, had to squint to see! Strong bfp 4 days later.

Ds1, 3 days after period due, ds2 4 days before but id ovulated 2 days early, this time 1/2 days after, but think I ovulated few days later than usual so I was about a day b4 period due x

It was about 2 days before my period was due. I only did it because I went to see the pharmacist who asked if I was pregnant because I was run down. I just said no I wasn't but when I went home did a test to put it out my mind. Was a little surprised when it came up positive!!

Faint line 2 days before but felt really anxious after having ectopic and tube removal! Day of AF feeling cramps but no show did a dig and there in written pregnant 2-3 weeks was in shock!!!! 31 weeks now!
Good luck xx

With this current pregnancy, I tested when my period was 3 days late. I had very regular 26 day cycles after I had my son, so felt sure something was up.

However, before I had my son, my periods were very variable (24-32 days) so I probably waited until 34, 35 days before testing that time (as I wasn't sure if I was just having a later period that month). I also didnt necessarily believe the first BFP, so tested another 3 times during the 5 days that followed before going to GP (we had been ttc for 3 years and I don't think I could believe my luck :-)
