I think you should test. I was also expecting AF friday but didn't get it. I had a tiny amount of spotting yesterday (once), and also today (after BDing). Since I ovulate late, I am about 12 dpo. I tested today, and got a wonderful BFN. I hope I get my AF soon, or else I am going to scream.


Good luck to you and Happy Testing!!

i took a test this afternoon * i know you are to do it in the morning but i couldnt wait* and it was a BFN. but i got looking online and found some info.


The home pregnancy test EPT can detect hCG at 40 mIU yet Wal-Mart's store brand Equate can detect hCG at 25 mIU so there goes the theory about paying more for quality. EPT is a respected brand name and does a fine job yet Equate (generic brand), a cheap pregnancy test, will detect the lower levels of the pregnancy hormone. Equate (purple lid) also makes a home pregnancy test that will detect hCG at 100 mIU so be careful which one you get.






Weeks of pregnancy
after last menstrual period
Days after conception
Approximate hCG levels
for single baby pregnancy (mIU/ml)

Week 3
7
0 to 5

Week 4
14 (next period due)
5 to 430

Week 5
21
180 to 7400

I bought a Equate. So maybe it is becuase the level is not high enough yet....

Will you test again in a few days. I have still not stated AF though I feel like it should be coming on strong. If I don't get anything more than spotting, I will test on Tuesday. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I would love a Christmas present.
