I think I tested on day 10 or 11, looking back. I was supposed to go drinking w the girls and had some strange but familiar symptoms that day and thought "what the heck" and sure enough, my little one's line was faint but it was there! Good luck! Hope to hear good news Bethany!

Thanks for your responses.

Fertilityfriend.com says that my test date is tomorrow, which is 11 DPO. I guess because I have short luteal phases normally? I'm almost afraid to test since seeing that negative sign always breaks my heart...

Sissy, did you get a positive result at 10 DPO? If not, when did it show a positive result?

Bethany - I got my positive at 9 DPO. I just couldn't wait any longer to test! It was pretty bright by 11 DPO. I think I tested every day until 15 DPO when I finally convinced myself I was pregnant!

Well I tested this morning and it was negative. I should bleed by tomorrow. There was a very faint line, but I used the cheap Equate brand test and in the past that line was faint but still negative...so I don't have much hope.

Jen, did you test again later after 10-11 DPO? If so, when did the line become darker?

Liann, wow you got an early positive! I guess it all depends on when implantation occurs.

I think I'll spend more money and get the digital tests next time - at least there's no ambiguity there.

Bethany - Definitely get some digis. I really prefer those. Also, some people don't test positive until up to 15 DPO. A close friend of mine was testing the same time I was and kept getting negatives. She finally got a positive though, it just took longer for it to show. Not trying to give you false hope, just that everyone's levels are different and some people take longer to get a positive. Good luck!
