I am sure this has been asked a zillion times, but......when is the very earliest that you think you can test for pregnancy?

Just that.

9/10 days after ovulation - if you know exactly when you ovulated. Remember implantation begins 5-12 days after the egg has been fertilized, HCG is only released once implantation has occured and you need at least a couple of days for HCG to be perceptible on a super sensitive home pregnancy test. The earliest I've ever had a positive test was day 24 of a 28-day cycle.

On a very sensitive test you may get a positive result at 9dpo but it is only 50 odd percent likely on a first response at that stage so you may as well just piss on a tenner. At 12dpo most of the good tests (fr, cb digi, superdrug, 10miu internet cheapies) will give the correct result so i would not bother testing before that point.

I got a positive at 11 dpo and I had tested first thing every morning from 8dpo

Thank you everyone. I guess I just need to be heaps more patient.

I tested the day after my missed period and got a positive! It was faint but it was there so that's only about 10 days after doing the deed - Good luck!
