Can I take a HPT after 6DPO?

Question

My LMP was 7/24-7/28 but then on 7/31 I felt very strong ovulation pains accompanied by EWCM... anyhow after hubby and I BD'd it's now been five days since ovulation and intercourse... I have no idea when I will get next AF because I ovulated really early this cycle.

When is the earliest possible I can test.

PLEASE DON'T SAY WHEN I MISS MY AF...I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THAT IS!

Answer 1

I ovulated on 7/29 and got a BFP today!! So maybe a test in the morning will work for you, good luck and baby dust~!

Answer 2

You can certainly take a hpt, but I think it would probably be too soon.  You should wait until 10 dpo or more.  It might be more accurate then.

Answer 3

Once you ovulate, your period is guaranteed about 2 weeks after.  Anywhere from 10-14 days, depending on your pattern.  Anyway, If you O'd around 07/31, you should hold off on testing for another week.

Good luck!

Answer 4

it's too early hun, the egg might just be embedding itself at this time. i'm in the same boat as you too! so, i would test starting in about 4 more days. good luck and i will sprinkle baby dust your way! :)

Answer 5

6dpo is WAY too early. If your cycle is irregular plan for 14dpo. Good Luck!

Answer 6

around 14 to 16 dpo

Answer 7

I'm no expert but its likely that you'll get a BFN if you take a hpt now. Since you ovulated on 7/31 and possibly conceived shortly thereafter you can wait about 12 to 14 days after BD and you'd have a better chance of getting that BFP if you are indeed pg.

Answer 8

You should wait at least 10 days for the 'early' tests. At 6 days you will probably get a negative no matter what.
