My bf and I have been ttc for a yr now since our m/c I am currently 8dpo any tips on when to test? Plz help?

An ealry results home test (such as First Response) might be able to give a positive up to 5 days before your period is due (so if you have a 28 day cycle that would mean in a day or so for you) However, it is common to get a false-negative (you're pregnant but the test shows up negative) when you test this early, that's why it's recommended to wait until your period is due. A blood test is slightly more accurate and would have a better chance of detecting the hcg so soon (as soon as 10 days after conception). Using first morning urine helps if you test at home (more hcg in it). Hope this helps!

test for ovulation 9-13 days after the last day of your period good luck!!!
Reply:You can get a really sensitive HPT test, and try testing a few days before your missed period or you can just wait until your missed period to test. Of course a blood test will be the best results. If you still want to do an HPT before going to the doctor your best bet is to wait until you miss your period. Your pregnancy hormone will be strongest after the missed period, and easy to detect, you may want to do the test first thing when you wake up, food and other beverages can alter results later in the day, where as the first morning's urine has the highest concentration of the pregnancy hormone. Good luck! And congrats if you are!
