Hi Ex hun, FX its your bfp
I was reading this yesterday, and thought I would put it up on here as I think most of us are coming up to testing now. Happy 2WW
Ovulation Day
The egg is released and travels into the fallopian tube where it remains until a single sperm penetrates it during fertilization (the union of egg and sperm). The egg can be fertilized for about 24 hours after ovulation.
If sperm does meet and penetrate a mature egg after ovulation, it will fertilize it. When the sperm penetrates the egg, changes occur in the protein coating around it to prevent other sperm from entering. At the moment of fertilization, your baby's genetic make-up is complete, including its sex.
1dpo - Too early to test
No home pregnancy test will work yet.
If fertilized, the egg begins dividing rapidly into many cells. It remains in the fallopian tube for about three days. The fertilized egg (called a zygote) continues to divide as it passes slowly through the fallopian tube to the uterus where its next job is to attach to the endometrium (a process called implantation).
2dpo - Too early to test
No home pregnancy test will work yet.
Pregnancy tests work by detecting the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). hCG is only made once the fertilized egg implants in the uterus. Implantation typically occurs 6 to 10 days after ovulation.
3dpo - Too early to test
No home pregnancy test will work yet.
Implantation hasn't even happened yet!
Remember, home pregnancy tests detect the hormone hCG. hCG is produced only after implantation. No implantation = No hCG = Negative test result.
4dpo - Too early to test
No home pregnancy test will work yet.
Implantation hasn't even happened yet!
Remember, home pregnancy tests detect the hormone hCG. hCG is produced only after implantation. No implantation = No hCG = Negative test result.
5dpo - Too early to test
No home pregnancy test will work yet.
Implantation hasn't even happened yet!
Remember, home pregnancy tests detect the hormone hCG. hCG is produced only after implantation. No implantation = No hCG = Negative test result.
6dpo - Too early to test
No home pregnancy test will work yet.
Implantation may not have occurred yet.
7dpo - Don't bother. Still too early!
8dpo - You will likely be disappointed!
Wait a few more days, if you can!
hCG (the pregnancy hormone) doubles every 2-3 days during the first several weeks of pregnancy. Give it some time to build up so the test can detect it.
9dpo - Tempting, but it is still best to wait!
To ensure an accurate result, and minimize the risk of a false negative you would be best to wait a few more days.
10dpo - Hold off if you can, it's still a little early!
Accuracy rate of some early detection tests range from 51%-69% for 4 days before your expected period.
Make sure you read the box/instructions for individual test brand accuracy rates.
11dpo
Some early detection tests may work 3 days before your expected period.
Accuracy rate of some early detection tests range from 74%-83%.
Make sure you read the box/instructions for individual test brand accuracy rates.
12dpo
Some early detection tests may work 2 days before your expected period.
Accuracy rate of some early detection tests range from 84%-93%.
Make sure you read the box/instructions for individual test brand accuracy rates.
13dpo
There are several early pregnancy tests that can be used 1 day before your expected period.
Accuracy rate of some early detection tests range from 87%-95%.
Make sure you read the box/instructions for individual test brand accuracy rates.
14dpo - Expected Period. This is the best day to test!
You should miss your period today if you are pregnant!
Accuracy rate of most pregnancy tests on or after the first day of your expected period is 99%.
15dpo - You are 1 day late - Test at will!
Accuracy rate of most pregnancy tests on or after the first day of your expected period is 99%. You will likely get an accurate result if you test this day.
