When to test?

[bluebelle25]

Hey lovely ladies!

This isn't a picture but a question regarding when to test. I have found the equivalent of a FRER where I live, and it says you can test up to 6 days before missed period.

My question is when to test? My luteal phase has consistently been 11 days. So does this mean I would test 5dpo if you can test 6 days before period? Or does it mean 6 days of the standard 14 days, so 8dpo?

I get confused as I thought implantation occurs earliest 6dpo.

I don't mind buying a few FRER but when do you think the earliest realistic time would be to test?

I am only 1-2dpo now but going crazy and want to know the earliest day I could test!

Thanks!!

The earliest I've seen someone get a bfp was 6 dpo but who knows they could of been off by a few days. Myself I wouldn't test until 10dpo. That's the earliest I ever got a line and it was so faint I wasn't sure if it was really there. I just don't like wasting money on tests so that's why I wouldn't test any sooner then that.

Ok. So I think as I am impatient I will do one at 6dpo, then 8dpo and then af due day if nothing on those!

I'd wait to at least 9 dpo, I've read on average implantation occurs at 6-9 dpo and hcg doubles every 2 days, so if you implant at 6dpo an accurate hpt would be detected at around 9dpo (that's textbook standards, everyone is different)

Ok I will do my best to wait until 9dpo then!
