hi. i'm not sure, but i might be joining you all.
i'm only 8 days post ovulation, but i think i'm pregnant.
did any of you feel implantation pain? i think that's what i was feeling all day yesterday.
so, i'm curious how early you all take a test? i'm, of course, eager to know, but i don't want to waste money on lots of tests (last time i was so excited i took 3 before it was late enough to tell!)

thanks.

with DS i tested positive at 9dpo, this time not until 12dpo. (i had tested bfn at 10dpo, but didn't test at 11dpo so i may have been able to tell then, i'm not sure).

can you get some from the dollar store or buy in bulk online? i guess the online stuff wouldn't get to you in time.

with DS i tested probably about 20 times. LOL!!! and 11 of them were AFTER i'd gotten my first positive! OBSESS MUCH??? HAHAHA

I couldn't help myself and started testing at 8dpo with $ tree tests, used an equate at 11dpo and got a really faint +, tested again today at 12dpo and there's no mistaken that + :)

I got a nice strong + at 10DPO, then 4 more that were darker and stronger in the few days to follow. Be careful though, it's not extremely uncommon to have an early + HPT then to get your period, chemical pregnancy's happen more than you think.

:nod Yes, make sure you know what you're possibly finding out.

I got a pos at 11 days. It was there, but really faint. I used the internet cheapies and then tested again later in the day with First Response Early Response. Then, at 12 DPO, I tested with the digital... because I didn't want to obsess over lines.

I REALLY want to go out and buy one of those digital tests. I've been using the dollar store cheapies up to this point and was thinking about getting a good test just to be sure.

Maybe I will cave tomorrow and go buy one.

I tested + at 12 (very faint) and 13 dpo this time. With Julia I tested + at 10 dpo.

Extremly faint line at 10dpo then still faint until 13dpo when it was very positive. DH made me take 6 tests altogether before he'd believe me. :)

I try not to test untill at least DPO 13 like suggested on FF. I tried testing the day or so before, then on the day, then a day or two after but I was way to obcessive and would get really upset when I got the BFN. But I tested today on DPO 13 and got a faint, but very there, positive. I then went out and bought the Clear Blue Easy digital and got a 'pregnant' with in 45 seconds. That totally set my mind at ease. But if I do it again I would do what I did this time: test with a cheapy, then if I thought I saw a line but wanted to really make sure I would spring for the digital. ;)

wow. thanks. it's good to know that i'm not crazy for wanting to test so early. I'm 10 po now, so i'm going to get a couple of tests and try tomorrow and/or the next day. i haven't even heard of the digital tests. i'm not sure i can get them where we are here in israel, but i'll keep an eye out. i hope my intuition is right and that i'll be joining you dec mamas!

I never seem to get a BFP until a week after I'm due. I don't know a dpo since I don't chart. At that point I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant anyway so one positive test was enough for me this time.

As far as early signs...this time I just knew. For some reason I knew. Since dd was born I've always have ovulation spotting and I didn't have it this month at all. Also I was moody and such. Oh yeah and I felt so sore that I felt like I'd been hit by a truck but truthfully I could have just been ill.

well that's good news, because i took a test this morning and nothing showed up. i'm 11 days po, so i'm not terribly worried yet that i'm not pregnant, but i did put a doubt in my mind. anyhow, i think i'm going to do it the old fashioned way and wait until my period comes or doesn't come, and then take a test. otherwise, it'll drive me crazy! still hoping to join you all. i'll keep you updated.

I found out Friday April 8 and cocieved March 24. I took about 8 tests 8 days prior to friday (also the day I was sappose to get my period) they were all negative. On Friday I bought the ept... it is digital and it showed up! good luck.

Ok, those digitals are REALLY cool! I think they're awesome. It's the only time I've been pregnant and didn't test and test and test and test etc etc etc.

Ahuva, I hope you see your dark positive when the time is for the highest good. Blessings to you and your family.

Sadly, I'm not pregnant this time around. It's funny, because I really thought I felt something like implantation, but oh well. Maybe next time, if I can convince my DH who has taken this reprieve as a chance to rethink the whole thing! Sigh....

Best of luck to all of you December mamas!

I had a clear, fast positive 18DPO. This is big for me, because my luteal phase is about 8-9 days. But I ovulated CRAZY early this last month and waited until the 'normal' day I usually have a period instead of adjusting.

Two days later I tested again and my positive line showed up BEFORE the horizontal one.
It's the first time I've had a positive pregnancy test. It was cool for me. :) With my first I had a blood test to check for pregnancy because I thought I had a huge cyst and was confused.

I tested at 21 days PO and tested a good strong Pos. But I would swear I am ovulating again now (this would be at 5 weeks PO). Increased fluids and uterus wide open. Anyone else experience anything like this?

I am getting extra fluids.
TMI, but I am CONSTANTLY checking to see if it's blood because I suddenly feel it trickle out. It's just lots of CM.
Haven't checked my cervix position though, so I wouldn't know if it was 'wide open'. I'm cramping too much to want to touch it!
