[Heidigrace]

hi all, i had a miscarriage 2nd feb at 5-6 weeks, doc said i should wait a cycle but up to me, i had bloods and pregnancy test a week after and all gone back to zero/negative, so i began opks day 12 and got a postive eventualy day 21 (last monday) also positive on tuesday and back to neg by the wednesday, now the thing is last night i had pink spotting which i got before my last pegnancy, i dont want to read much into it though as i have never had a miscarriage and i understand your body can be out of whack for a while, i couldnt sleep last night thinking about it, but going by pos opk last monday when is the earliest i could test? thankyou for reading x

Hi Heidigrace,

Some ladies have got their BFPs as early as 8-10 DPO, mine have usually been later than that, and it also depends on the sensitivity of the tests (first response are the most sensitive I think, other than the 10miu internet cheapies!). Best wishes for the result you want!

15 day's past ovulation is a good guide for pg tests

Well, I have read about those lucky women who get them FAST, 8 DPO, but then there are some, like me, who sometimes won't test positive until after we miss a period. I was 5 1/2 weeks with my son, who is now 11, before ANY test, including a doc's blood test, would confirm. But I just 'knew' I was... Then with my daughter, it showed up a little sooner, a few days after my AF was due. So as a general rule of thumb, definitely test around time for AF, if using super sensitive ones, then maybe a couple of days before. Good luck to you and sticky baby dust as well!
