How many days after ovulation is the earliest you got a + hpt?

Question

I got my + hpt at 10dpo and ended up losing the baby at 4 1/2 weeks along.. We waited now waited a cycle to "flush" anything out and I already had af and ovulated and am currently waiting to test now.. I am at 9 dop and feel "kinda" weird and was feeling sick lastnight without the vomiting but felt like I could have... My period isnt until the 27th so I dont want to test this early but what was the earliest you tested and got a + hpt? I think I will wait till my period date and if nothing than, than I will test. I am so scared and nervous this time around since we lost the last one... My DH and I have been trying for 17months now and frankly we just want our little bundle of joy.... Any help from you ladies would be great.. and thank you so much in advance....

Answer 1

You can test now as early as 6 days before your period is due, however the chances of getting a positive result is slim as the amount of pregnancy hormone is very small at this point. I have had a positive test 5 days before though, but found the strongest positive results are on the day of your period and thereafter. Good Luck!!

Answer 2

On fertilityfriend.com I see people get + at 9dpo all the time.  I also see them get - more often than not, only to get a + much later at 12-14 dpo.

Can you handle a BFN?  If not, wait.

Answer 3

10dpo is about the earliest you could expect to get a BFP.  A day or so earlier is POSSIBLE, but only for a small percentage of pregnant women.

As for the miscarriage, early miscarriages like you describe are quite common (we've experienced two that early).  They are usually due to random genetic errors in the fetus, meaning the miscarriage was simply the (un-)luck of the draw.  It CAN happen again, but just because it happened once doesn't mean that it's likely to happen again.

For what it's worth, there isn't a woman I personally know that has ever had a miscarriage that didn't eventually have a healthy baby.  Hopefully that little extra fertility spike most women experience after a miscarriage with help you convieve again with three months, and by this time next year, you might be holding that bundle of joy.

However, taking 17months to achieve pregnancy points to the potential of you and DH having some fertility issues.  I would suggest that you find a Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist.  Yes, these are the same doctors that do things like IVF, but they also know about all the various hormone and blood levels that are needed in early pregnancy.  It's possible that the miscarriage was due to minor problems such as your body not being able to produce enough progesteron to sustain an early pregnancy.  For the "average" woman having a miscarriage, I would not suggest they see an RE.  But the fact that it took you more than a year TC suggests that there might be a medical problem.  Simply given the fact that it's taken so long to get pregnant, you don't really want to risk losing another for medical reasons, espeically if it should take another 17 months to get pregnant again.

I can tell you that our personal experience required 4 years for our first pregnancy.  We not only had issues with TTC, but there were some medical issues in sustaining the pregnancy.  None of these issues couldn't be over come via some medications, but fortunately when we did get pregnant, we were already under the care of an RE where we quickly learned of things like low progesteron levels that put the pregnancy at risk.

Answer 4

They say you can test up to 4 days early but it could give a false negative. My doctor told me 2 weeks( full 14 days) after ovulation I should then do a test.
