When does a positive pregnancy test show up?

Question

Hello ladies!
Today marks 11 days late to my period. My husband and I are currently trying for a baby so I am not using any birth control, and I have so far taken 4 pregnancy tests, all negative. I am usually on-time with my period, maybe 2 or 3 days late at the most, this is the longest I have not gotten my period before. If I am pregnant, how much longer do you think until I will get a positive pregnancy test?
EDIT: Woke up this morning in a pool of my own blood so I think I have the answer! Thank you ladies for your input!

Answer

You can test as early as 8 dpo but may not receive a positive test till 14+ dpo. Implantation occurs 6-12 dpo, then it takes hcg 2-3 days to double. So testing depends on implantation and how sensitive the pregnancy test is. But if your 11 days late, you either didn’t ovulate or ovulated later than predicted. The later you ovulate the later your cycle will be. No ovulation, no period. All you can do really is wait each week and test till af come sir you get a positive.

Answer

In my opinion, if you haven’t gotten a positive by now you probably aren’t pregnant. How long have you been off birth control? Your cycle still could be regulating itself after stopping birth control.

Answer

It would’ve showed at 1-2 days late if pregnant. It’s definitely accurate at 11 days late!

Answer

With my first son, it took 2 months(2 cycles, over 70 days) to show up positive and I was testing a lot. So it CAN happen!
