When can I test

Hi I bought some of the tests off of the internet that are supposed to be able to test as early as 6 day after O. They are supposed to be able to detect HCG level of 20 or more. I had my last period on the eleventh of July, my cycles go from 28 to 32 days. Any idea how soon I can test?

Thanks,

Rebecca

Too funny..I just posted a similar message. I think the answer is that you cannot do a urine test until a few days after implantation which is anywhere from 4-10 days after O (I think) Since the hormone that we all look for doesn't build up until after implantation we wait, then we wait some more. I am 5 dpo and wanting to test also but Know that it is useless. I THINK, not that we all don't every month, that the on difference for me this month is that my cervix is completely closed and hard as a rock (from what I have read..women who have given birth vaginally may not have a completely closed cervix unless they are PG) at least this ismy first month with this symptom.

GL and sticky vibes comin at ya....BFP>>>BFP>>>BFP>>>BFP.

That's funny I'm 5 OD too, I think. I have a irregular cycle though. And it's driving me crazy , I want to test so bad all ready. It took us 7 months to conceive our DD. So I really don't think I could be on my first cycle. And I bought so many tests with my first, I promised myself I wouldn't do that this time around. I feel tired and haven't been feeling myself lately. But I know if you want it bad enough you start thinking you have all the signs of being PG(IPS). Don't know how long I can wait???

Rule of thumb is 15 DPO. Some can get BFP earlier but I would wait a few days after AF is suppose to show. Just to be safe. I tested earlier this month at 12 DPO and got a BFN but I also think I did not succeed this month anyway. So try and wait it out to be safe.

Good luck!
