advice on testing

Hi Ladies. I have a testing question. We started TTC #2 this month. We've been using the Clearblue Fertility Monitor and it showed that I would have ovulated either May 14th or 15th. We obviously BD'd around that time :)
So now I don't know how early is too early to test. I've tried several times already and all are negative. Its about 11 dpo today (or so).


Hi. I use that monitor as well. I don't think it's too early to test as you have already passed when AF should have started. It may be too early for enough hormones to be picked up by the test. How sensitive is the test that you are using? Are you having any symptoms right now?
I'm sure someone will come along that knows much more than I do :) Good luck to you

It's entirely possible that you could be testing too early. I tested at 10 and 11 DPO and got BFN's. I skipped 12 DPO but tried again on 13 DPO and got my faint positive.
Also, try to remember that it doesn't always happen on the first try. I got pg with DD one month after being married to my ex, and I was on the pill! When I started trying for this one I figured it would be just as easy. It was 11 1/2 months later
