I bought the First Response Early Detection-it says it can show + 4 days before your period is due-anyone had any thoughts on that? Also AF is due Saturday-how many days dpo would you test?

I would TRY and wait until Wednesday, I test on Thursday, though I took a test yesterday and BFN, the test I used detects 20 hcg's. Any Symptoms?

The wait is really hard, Good Luck!!!

it' so hard to say if I have symptoms or not. I feel nauseaous and moody and extremely tired but it could be pms too. AF and being pregnant are so much the same. I want to test Friday at 13dpo. If it comes up - and AF doesn't show on Saturday, I'll wait until MOnday to test again.

I just tested using an ANSWER EARLY which detects 25hcg level. OFCOURSE I got a BFN! Im bummed needless to say. I am now 10dpo. Will retest Friday...or longer. Im sick of stressing!!! I have major PG symptoms ( veiney bb's, tingly bb's, twinges in my lower pelvis, discharge, and exhaustion) all these are right in line with my last pregnancy according to my journal. Good luck to you and keep me posted.

Good Luck! I think all my signs are in my head. Though my DH said "Your Pregnant" this past weekend. Normally he says I'm not. This is the 5th month trying. TTC#1. Maybe he's right!!! I posted a Website for OPK & HPT tests, I know the OPK's work well. They are inexpensive. The HPT's detect 20 MUI's(?) of HCG. It's www.testsforless.com. This way I can have the tests on hand. I thin I should take stock in the company, I give them way too much business! Keep me informed!!!

took a accuclear by inverness medical and got a bfp at 11dpo, and a bfp with clear blue easy early at 12dpo but fainter than the accuclear(it was cheaper too)!! good luck to you
