Question

Trying to figure out what day to take a pregnancy test so that I will get an obvious positive.

Hi, everyone. I'm trying to figure out what day to take a pregnancy test so that I will get an obvious positive. I don't want a squinter result. I look at the HPT gallery and some of them I literally cannot see anything and people are voting positive. I don't want to go through the heart break of thinking maybe I am or psyching myself out. I just want to wait to test until I get an obvious positive.

I (think) I am currently 9 dpo. My AF should comedy 12 dpo so should I just wait until 12 days? Or am I safe to test earlier or should I wait until even later after (finger crossed) I miss my AF?

Help please!

The longer you wait the more likely you will get an "obvious" positive (if you are pregnant). If you are not tracking ovulation by temping, I would wait until AF is late by several days just to be safer, but then again if you O very late that may be "too early" too. If you ovulate predictably you should have a pretty obvious positive by around 15 DPO. GL!

I completely understand what u mean girl. ur being very smart and not wanting to deal with unnecessary disappointment. Unlike the rest of us with our POAS addictions lol but u are pretty close that u may actually get that bfp! but if u want to just be sure, I would wait too.
Oh! you know they have a pregnancy timing calculator under the tools/tickers section at the top. Itll tell u when u are most likely to get a positive or if its too early to test. you should check that out just out of curiosity! Lots of baby dust and good luck!

If you are pregnant, you should get an obvious result the day of expected AF or the day after :) Good luck!!!!

Hey girl, seems like yourself and I are at the same DPO. Today I am at 10 DPO if this website is correct, I had implantation around 9 DPO it's still early to tell. I would wait until 13 DPO to test and get the most accurate result. I'm suppose to start my period Tuesday and I will be 13 DPO. I took a test today at 10 DPO a heart breaking negative! So hopefully you and I will both receive our positive! Fingers crossed for you and I! Update your results when you feel like it's the right time to test! Good luck :)

Thanks y'all! I thought I was on my AF day and tested this morning (it's really tomorrow) with some really confusing results. I wish I would have waited but I got ahead of myself. Anyway, baby dust to all of you!
