Why did I do that? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Question

We experienced a pregnancy loss in May at 16 weeks. This was our first month to try again... I had the same mild cramping all day yesterday (8dpo) that I had when I was pregnant before. I am 9 dpo today... and SO FOOLISHLY I tested. BFN. 😫😫😫 why did I do that?! Now I’m so sad 😞 any encouragement or stories of a blazing negative and the a positive a few days later?

Answer

I imagine, honestly, that an enormous number of people had (or would have had of they tested that early) a negative at 9 DPO in a pregnancy cycle. Heck, I got my bfp with my son at 13 DPO and while it was a clear positive, it wasn’t blazing and I bet if I had tested way back at 9 DPO it would absolutely have been a BFN then (or at best an ambiguous, stressful squinter).
What if you only just implanted at 9DPO? HCG would still need time to be detectable.
Even (for example) FRER tests only promise the 99.9% accuracy from the day your period is due, and that percentage drops off a lot with each day you are before your period.
Basically I’m saying you’re not out til AF shows!
Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻🧡
