Hey Hun. I tested that early and it was a bfn and on test day it is as bfp. Please try and stay positive my love. I know it's hard but please try. X

Hi Ro5ie, you aren't doing yourself any favours by testing so early - they give you a test date at the earliest point when they think a blood test will detect your rising HcG hormone levels. Home pregnancy tests are not as sensitive so testing so early is very likely to be negative but it doesn't mean you are out yet! My clinic told me a home test most likely wouldn't detect anything till 2 days after my blood test date. So keep positive - you may get your BFP yet! Lots of luck! Xx

Hi Ro5ie, just wanted to say I completely understand how you feel, I was testing from 7dp5dt, and became obsessed with it, yes I got my bfp but only short lived, shortly to do fet, and i've decided this time i'm not going to test until test date, as testing everyday brought me unneeded stress and would be really upset in the early days of testing, so this next time i'm just going to have the theory of no blood is good news! And relax a little more. But I know exactly how your feeling. Hope you get your bfp x

In my head, I found it easier to test early so that I could prepare/protect myself for the potential outcome on the OTD. When I did it though, I told myself that it was too early and that other people have had negatives turning into positives so anything could happen x

Hi Ro5ie, you have to do what's right for you but I would say that I tested early and that led to me testing every day. It puts a lot more pressure on you. Next time I'm only going to test on OTD because I don't think it helped. It is still early though remember, try to keep the faith x x x

I started testing at day 4dp5dt knowing it was early but got my BFP in 8dp5dt. I went in for my beta 15dp5dt.

I wanted to test myself because I had a whole slew of people who knew I was going through IVF and that I would know soon. I didn't want to receive bad news that day and then tell people when they asked. People are so nosy.

However if it worked as it did, I wanted to keep it a secret between me and my husband so we had some time to process it just the two of us.

It's up to you if you wanna test that early or not but keep us posted!
