    Just wondering how soon you ladies took a HPT and got a BFP? How are cycles, the average 28 day cycle? shorter? longer? Feel free to explain below =)

    My cycles ranged from 30-38 days and I got my BFP on 8dpo.  The line was really faint, but there was definitely a line.  I only tested because I was also charting and my temp was going up and up.  I really wanted to test earlier than that, but I probably would have just been wasting tests and making myself sad.

    I don't think I ever tested any earlier than 13DPO, because that was the day I usually expected AF. I got BFPs both times on 13DPO. I probably would have gotten BFPs sooner (my lines were also nice and dark), but I got tired of seeing negative tests, so I didn't test any earlier. I tested when I did both times because I was charting and my temps went up instead of down.

    We weren't trying but I had been paying attention to my cycles so that I would be more familiar with them.  My cycles after going off birth control were consistently exactly 28 days.  I realized that it was possible I may be pregnant so I tested at 12DPO and got a negative.  I waited and tested again at 17DPO and got a positive.  I only tested with digital though if that helps too so I may have shown up positive earlier on other tests.

    I know it's silly to test this early but it's so hard to wait! But I see most women get BFP between 8-13DPO so I'm going to try to wait until then, I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. Thanks for your help ladies!

    If anyone else has insight, please share =)

    I got my BFP at 13DPO (according to FF, 12DPO according to me).  The line was faint but definitely there, I got a much darker BFP at 15DPO.  By the time I tested I was a day late for AF and I was pretty sure I was knocked up!  (We were actively TTC for ten months and I'd never had a late AF).

    I have 33 day cycles, a 11-12 day luteal phase and I ovulated on CD20/21.

    I broke down and tested today and of course it was negative, oh well, it was only a dollar wasted ha I'm going to try to hold off until 8DPO now, thanks again for your help ladies!

    @Kemma:  i'm wondering if my ovulation day was different than what fertility friend because I had spotting at 3DPO which seems a little early for implantation bleeding. how did you know  you ovulated a day earlier than fertility friend said?

    My first test of the cycle was at 10dpo and it was positive.  But since it's twins, my hcg levels were a little higher than average.
