?? about Short LP and HPT Testing

Okay, let's see if I can make some sense here. . . I have a 10 day LP. I'm on DPO8 today. Since FRE says you can test up to 3 days b/f you expect AF, then you would think that I should be able to test today, however, with just a 10 day LP is 8 days enough. It's not like I have a super fast body that would push the eggie down quicker or the egg would implant quicker b/c I have a short LP.

So, do you think that a FRE wouldn't work for me? Since implantation has just occurred or is about to, I wouldnt' be able to test ++++++ even if I end up being pg.

Does this make sense? I don't think a FRE is right for someone like me b/c 3 days prior to AF is only 8DPO.

HELP!!!

TIA

Hi Cat,

When FRE says you can test 3 days early, they are depending upon a traditional 14 day lp. So you should wait until at least 11dpo, if you think you can handle it!

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll try to wait. I don't want to prolong my disappointment by getting days and days of BFNs.

I love and hate these short cycles. Since my OB feels my LP is long enough to sustain a pg, at least I can enjoy getting AF every 24 days. Anyway, I can't believe I just thought of this. I bought some FREs yesterday and was just driving home and realized that they wouldn't work for me!!

It's hard to believe I've been on these boards and done so much reading that this never dawned on me. I guess it was a brain fart!

Thanks again. +++++++++++++VIBES++++++++++++++++++ to you both!
