How long before HPT

Colanino · 02-27-2006, 12:37 PM

Hi I new to the board. My husband and I have been TTC #2 for about 5 mo. On day 21 I got a ++ OPK along with EWCM (for the first time) (Feb. 19). So needless to say I am so anxious to get a BFP. So I was wondering when should I test?? My periods are not regular going from 29- 35 days!! So waiting for AF could take a while!!!

I think to get true results you should wait until 14dpo. Otherwise you could get a false - which is never good. Do you temp? I temp so I know my lh phase if always 14 days so if I O late then my AF is late. Does that make sence? Anyway I think that 14dpo is a good day to get accurate results.

Hi and welcome to the bb

! If you got a +OPK on cd 21, then you should have ovulated somewhere in the range cd 21-23 (2/19-2/21). For testing purposes, I would assume the later O date just so you don't test too early. And then I would try very hard to wait until 14 dpo. SO, I think that brings you to cd 37 or 3/7 if I'm doing my math right

.

I hope your 2ww flies by and if you do test any earlier than 3/7, just remember that it could just be too early!

Best of luck and keep in touch++++++++++++

Hi! Thanks for the responces. No I don't BBT but if i am not preggo this month then I will start. I have a HPT that says "the majority of women will have a greater chance of a positive reading at 9 or 10 days past ovulation." So I think that I might test on Thurs, knowing that I could have a false -. I am just so anxious I don't think I can wait much longer!!!

I am wondering if anyone has tested on day 10 and gotten a BFP or even a faint +++??

Hi: I tested a FAINT ++ at 10 dpo with my ds using the CVS brand (this was in 2000, so I'm not sure if the brand is the same now) .... but I know MANY women who have gotten negatives at that stage, despite being pg... so, if you test, please keep that squarely in mind

.

As for the HPT that claims that it can given an accurate result at 9-10 dpo: implantation takes place between 6-12 dpo, so if a person is going to implant at 11-12 dpo, then they're going to get a false negative if testing at 9-10 dpo! And even the person who implants at 9-10 dpo can get a false negative because HcG takes a while to build up after implantation.

So, good luck and keep us posted+++++++++++++
