As much as I torture myself around 10 or 11 dpo (I got a strong BFP at 9dpo with my second)...the reality is the average BFP is 14 dpo. It takes 5-12 dpo for implantation, so if you implanted late, you'll get a late BFP. If you go to the first page of my journal there are some cool links I put there to remind myself. I'm on cycle #6.
Here's one of my articles I found:
About implantation:
hCG doubles every 48 hours. You can have a level of 1 - 5 in a non pregnant state.
Implantation could be later than you think.
If a woman implants at 8dpo, with a 'non pregnant' hCG level of 1 [Which is totally normal] it would rise as follows
8dpo - 1miu hcg
10dpo - 2miu
12dpo - 4miu
14dpo [Day AF is typically due] - 8miu
16dpo - 16miu
So this lady wouldn't finnd out until 15dpo on a very senstive 10miu pregnancy test, superdrug own or possibly asda own. Obviously if she implants LATER than 8dpo [which is normal] she will find out even later.
Now, Take a lady who implants at 8dpo, But has a'Non pregnant' hCG level of 5. Hers looks like this;
8dpo - 5miu
10dpo- 10miu - Could find out here on superdrug own, internet cheapie
12dpo - 20miu - Could find out here with freedom cheapie strip/most poundland tests and asda own]
14dpo - 40miu [day period is typically due] Most tests would pick it up here
So, This lady, Even though implantation is on the same say for both ladies, Can find out MUCH sooner. Now, If this lady were to implant at 6dpo she could potentially find out at just 8dpo. But if the first lady were to implant at 12dpo, She would find out even later, Even if they have the same cycle and OV days!
I think your signs sound super promising. Hang in there!
