Question

Why when someone receives a BFP do others ask, "Are you SURE you 7-8-9 DPO?

Yes I'm sure I was 7-8 and 9 DPO. I'm sorry my test was so dark. A congratulations would be nice instead of questioning my DPO. Why?

Don't let it bother you sweetheart. It's unusual to get such a bold positive early, but it's not unheard of. Just enjoy the fact that you are PREGNANT!!!! Congratulations and enjoy your growing baby!!

I think people ask because its very rare. Sometimes when people do it's because they were wrong about their ovulation date. Your one of the lucky ones. I am sure every woman wish to get her BFP that early. Congrats!! Which brand of test did you use for your BFP?

U had a positive digi at 8dpo, those measure fairly high urine levels, so to get that + in that time frame, is very unlikely. U also mentioned getting a faint positive at 5dpo, which is impossible. No one says it to be mean, they just want to make u aware that ur dates may be off. In ur case, cd17 is more believable for an O date. Congrats!! =))

Gosh I hate that. Just ask them if they would like to stand in the bathroom while you take the test so they know you are not lying.

I don't think they are trying to be mean. I also think your date could be off. CD 17 with a fallback and slow rise seems way more likely because a faint line at 5 dpo is impossible as implantation can't occur before 6 dpo. A positive digital at 8 dpo is also fairly unlikely as they have lower sensitivity. A faint at 7 dpo and positive digital at 10 dpo is totally possible though! Congrats! :)

It was an error on my part I meant to say 6DPO. Which I know is still quite rare but I did get a very faint Positive . Thanks ladies. You all have made me feel better. I just felt that people were assuming I was lying but in no ways was I trying to lie to anyone. Thanks again.

I had quite a strong positive at 12 dpo and was so so pleased and was absolutely certain of my dates! But turned out I was 4 days off. Either way hon..congrats! Dates aren't important..you are pregnant and that's the main thing! The docs will confirm your dates by scan anyway! Xxxx
