yes it's too early, a very small percentage of women have gotten a pos at 8 or 9 dpo, but it's not common. That said, it doesn't mean I haven;t done it ;)

If you don't wanna be disappointed, wait a few more days. I know the wait is hard, I've had my pg test in my drawer calling my name for the last week, still holding out 5 more days...

Today I am 8dpo and might breakdown and test tomorrow...poas addict :-)

ditto on olivette's comment. I am 7DPO and broke down and took the test (got a negative). I want to advice you to not do it but I do it all the time.

I got postives at 9 and 10 DPO this last cycle, then they faded out and I found out it was a chemical. Every part of me wishes I had waited until AF was late to test so I would've just thought it was a normal AF and not have known it was a chemical. It's heartbreaking to get positives and then all negatives a couple days later.

Well it all depends on your cycle length really. As an example, I have a short luteal phase so testing at 9dpo would be three days before my period. I would hold off until at least 12 dpo even though I know it's so hard. I have little moments where I want to run and take a hpt. In February I managed to wait until 14dpo because I was not expecting to be pregnant. Sadly, I miscarried. Right now I'm at 8dpo and going to try to wait untill Friday, AF is due on Sunday.

Thanks so much for your answers, your imput is important to me trust me, I'm going to try and wait until Thursday (my birthday) this would be an amazing present!!! But being that I've just stopped using clomid I've been told side effects can last pretty long....anyways trying to be positive and realistic at the same time....loads of fun.
Good luck to all of you.
