Hey ladies, got a question for you...I just started spotting yesterday (8/25), not due for AF until 8/28-29. So, I started spotting about 11-12 dpo. Usually I'm clockwork with my cycles. Anyhow...IF this were to be implantation bleeding, how long after the bleeding would you wait to test? I recently stopped using any "protective measures", and seeing how I'm getting married soon, this would be the time to get pregnant!! (as nature likes a laugh...me trying to fit into my dress...) I just "felt different" this cycle. Of course, now I'm back to feeling regular, so it could just be my body playing tricks due to all the stress lately. Who knows. Either way, I'll be happy. Thanks for your time. :)

Well.. since it takes 1 to 5 days for hcg to start building up in your system after implantation.. I'd honestly say.. if you can possibly wait that long.. try to go for 4 to 5 days after.. Otherwise.. if you just can't wait.. the earliest I'd say to test is 2 to 3 days.. WITH the understanding that you could still get a false negative.

Don't know how much this helps.. but hope it at least answers your question.

GL! Hope you get your BFP!
