How many DPO is it okay to test ?

Question

Hello all , I am very new to glow . Been ttc for 4 months . I am only 7 dpo but was feeling really nauseous last night and running a mild temperature . The pressure of Ttc is getting to me and I am at that point now where I relate every activity happening in my body to pregnancy.

Answer

Home pregnancy tests can take up to two weeks after a missed period to show a positive because your HCG levels aren't high enough yet. If you want to test early I would start with the red dye tests like the early response first response (or the dollar store brand so you don't waste a ton of money- they also are accurate and can give results sooner than a blue dye test or digital test). I wouldn't start until at least 10dpo and then test every other day with your fmu until a BFP (HCG levels double every two days in early pregnancy). Usually implantation can happen anywhere from 6-12 dpi and then HCG levels need time to build up before they will register on a test. While your symptoms may be early pregnancy signs, they may also be something else like the flu--happened to me last month and the stress actually made my period three days late :( . If you're pregnant I think most people start having symptoms once implantation has happened and HCG builds up enough to start really affecting the body (I know everyone is different thoguh so I'm not counting your symptoms out!). I'm actually the about the same dpo and the tww is killing me (This is my fourth month of trying too, started in beginning of January!). Pinterestig baby stuff has been a godsend to keep me distracted during my tww. Good luck and baby dust to you!
