how soon will test be positive

[memoo]

Hi, wonder if anyone knows the answers to these my question?

If I know that exact day I would have conceived (and believe me its quite easy to work out iykwim) It will have been 11th october, how many days after this would a pregnancy test show positive.

Had spotting last thursday (16th october) which i am taking to be implantation bleeding as no period yet.

Tested this morning and BFN am I testing too soon?

Anything from 8 days onwards really, some people get a early BFP and others wont show untill their period should arrive or after.

fingers crossed for you

It depends when you ovulated. Do you know when that was?

Worzsel do you mean 8 days after conception or 8 days after implantation?

Don't know when i ovulated really but think it was about 10th oct

save your pennies( and sanity!!) and wait till at least 14dpo for a more accurate result.

8 days after ovulation/conception. You start producing enough HGC to be picked up on tests witin a few days of implantation.

Even though the tests say they work as early as 5 days before your period is due, I have never heard of this actually working for a real live person!

I would wait until your period is due and then test, if you don't get it.

it worked for me

very faint BFP at 8 dpo (6 days early) at the same time as having soem hideous implantation pains, proper line at 10 dpo.

worzel, what do implantation pains feel like? are they like crampy pains?

Mine were more painfull that normal crampy pains, mines were really quite sharp. I have nevr had them in previous pregnancies though and i should say that my last pregnancy didnt show up on a test till 15dpo so the fact that your getting bfns now doesnt mean anything

I was getting pains, on the right side and down below sometimes they were quite sharp was a bit paramoid that it meant something was wrong as i have had an ectopic in the past but now i am wondering if it was implantation pains?

could be, fingers crossed !

Can I advise that you wait until your period is due?

I heard a really sad programme on the radio the other day saying that those very early tests can sometimes detect what's called a chemical pregnancy which is when the egg has fertilised but doesn't embed for whatever reason so you have a period as normal. The doctors they interviewed said they were very concerned that as these events are extremely common early testing will distress women because they'll think they're pregnant when they aren't really.

and toes crossed too

But I cross my fingers and toes for you

thanks spice

got my period this morning at work of all places, i'm gutted, came home for my lunch so i could have a cry

(((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))
Its gutting isn't it? Something anyone who hasn't ttc'ed will never understand.
Hang in there hun, makes you appreciate it even more when you finally get your bfp

Aww Bugger

Fingers crossed the witch isn't too horrid and for sucess next month.

((hugs))
