Was it too early?

I tested to day on 8 dpo with the dollar store brand. It was a HUGE BFN. I want to believe that it was just not sensitive enough (I tested with this brand on the day AF was (pregnant with my daughter) and still got a really really really faint line).

I have a feeling that DH's little guys were lazy this round and didn't get the job done, but That might be just me not wanting to get my hopes up. I have been a bit ill and really tired the last couple of days.

What do you all think? Have you had accurate results this early with the dollar store brand?

Thanks

Sherri, I would think 8dpo is too early but I know some women have gotten positives that early. I am pretty sure that the dollar store brands can pick up at around 25 units. Implantation is usually anywhere from 7-10 dpo and hcg takes a few days after that to hit your urine. Let me know when you test again!!

I went to the dollar store yesterday to look for a HPT and did not see them. Do they have them hidden somewhere? Or do only certain dollar stores carry them?

(Sorry I cant help with your question, I'm new to this stuff!)

I feel for you on this one..I to am TTC#1 I am 2 days late and gotten like 4 BFN but I am always on time to the tee and nothing. It is driving me crazy...lol I have been reading about it and that you can get false negative because for me at least I know I would have concieved 13 days ago. Does anyone know if that is too early to test?
Good luck to you and baby dust to both of us
