Question

When can I depend on a test to be accurate?

I am about 8/9 dpo, I had sharp cramping pains on days 6 & 7 and yesterday I started noticing my breasts were feeling extra heavy. Today the feel straight up huge and sore, mostly on the outside and into my arm pits. I am expecting af on Saturday so still 5 days out. I typically start to break out the week before af and haven't seen a spot so far, my skin actually looks better than usual. I'm starting to think the signs are looking good but I don't want to get my hopes up yet, I took a test yesterday and it was bfn.... I could trick myself into thinking there was a line but realistically it was probably way too soon. When is the soonest I can trust the test? What do y'all think? Are these symptoms promising? I've NEVER had sore boobies before!

I would wait closer to the time your AF is supposed to start. I had pretty much the same symptoms as you and I got my AF one day early. This website also does "pregnancy test timing" calculators; just punch in your last AF cycle date or if you know when you ovulate and it will give you the best day to test. Hope this helps.

I am in the SAME POSITION!!! 9dpo and AF if expected to arrive sat! Also I'm getting negative tests and swearing I see faint lines, guess I want it that bad. Lol. But I'm starting to feel like I'm out this month. So many post pics of 9dpo and more then half are lines ???? Hoping! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
