When should I test???

[RachaelP1027]

I'm 8 DPO and on CD 17 of 22... My next cycle is roughly 5 days away... Is it too early to test? I'm really crampy and just all around feeling bloated. I have a love for coffee and this morning it started to make feel sick... Also the can of tuna I opened this morning had such a strong smell, I fought to mix it together for my lunch today. So could it be that I'm starting to prepare for pregnancy? Or just getting ready to start my next cycle...
My BBT this morning was 97.52, does that suggest ovulation has occurred?? So many questions going through my brain.

Not sure about the temps as I work some nights so temping out for me but I think that 8dpo would be a little early to get a bfp, always think it's best to try to hold out as long as possible as implantation can take up to 12 days and then still have to wait for the hcg to be secreted into the urine. Resist the urge for now if you can

I agree with ladders, it's a bit too early to test. You usually want to wait until 14 dpo, but most people can't hold out that long - myself included! So far it sounds promising, but it's still too early too tell. You should probably wait a few more days. Good luck!

Hi Rachael, I understand how you feel. Waiting game is a torture. I also think it's still too early for hpt to detect the hcg. The best time to test is the day when you expect your af.
Well, i can't wait either, mostly tested after 9dpo. I got BFN yesterday morning, AF due today but still no sign she will arrive. I really hope for a BFP this cycle.
Good luck, and baby dust to all of us.

Thank you! I ended up testing today and got a BFN at 11dpo I know there's still hope, but it was just wishful thinking that I'd get a BFP today! God bless all of you! praying for BFP's for everyone!!
