Has any one else been testing from 8dpo to 10dpo and still getting negative? When did you get +?
Been testing since 8dpo currently 10dpo today with back ache and cramping pelvic area and still am getting negs. When did you get a positive at what do? I've been using first response and dollar tree tests.

Breathe, my friend! Here's the deal: even the most sensitive tests need the hCG to be at 20-25 (I forget the units). Implantation can vary, and it's possible it hasn't happened for you yet. Even if it HAS, there is no guarantee your hCG levels would be high enough to register a positive. Normal, healthy, non-pregnant women can have hCG levels 0-5 of whatever the units are. That means if you implanted at an on-the-early-side 6dpo and had an initial level of 1 unit, at 8dpo you'd be about 2 units and at 10dpo you'd be around 4 units. The earliest you could expect a BFP in this scenario is 15dpo - and depending on your cycle length, you might have some indications based on AF before that.
Basically, when you could reasonably expect a BFP varies A LOT between individual women. It could come quite early, and it could come later than you'd think. All depends on your personal physiology. So try to relax and see what happens over the next week. :)
