How soon is too soon to test (HPT)?

Question

hpt)?" />

Answer

Trust me just wait until your missed period. And don’t use one of those super sensitive early pregnancy tests. 
One of those tests was able to pick up my chemical pregnancy as a firm positive (blood test confirmed my HCG was 7....anything over 5 is considered positive but it really should have 200-300 at that point)
It was crushing seeing a positive test and having it taken away so soon. 
I feel it’s always best to wait a little until your HCG can rise enough to register on a standard test

Anything before 12-13 dpo is too early because you could get a negative and still conceive that month

Answer

Anything before 8dpo is too early

Answer

The earliest you could get a positive would be six days prior to your missed period with an early response test.
If you have a standard 14 day luteal cycle (your period arrives 14 days after ovulation) then this would mean the earliest you can test would be 8DPO however the most reliable answers are from the date your period is due or afterwards
