Hi All,

I am due for my AF this Friday, CD28 will be Thursday going by my dates. Just want to know when I can test, just having funny little things happening but it all could be in my head!

Thanks.

I would have thought that you can safely test Friday onwards. Obviously the later you leave it, the higher the levels, but most preganancy test say accurate from the your period is due. Some HPT are even stated as saying test 5 to 7 days after ovulation, which would be a few days before AF is due.

But, I would wait until Friday to be safe. They're expensive and could just waste your money ;)

Hi Mel,

I would wait till AF is one day late, if your cycles are spot on (and if you can hold yourself :D )

:fingerscrossed: for you!!!

They say that the very earliest you can test would be 10 DPO but it is always more accurate and cheaper to test the day AF is due. :fingerscrossed: for you

Hi Mel,

I agree with all the others who posted here, try your hardest to wait untill AF is late or at least due. Here's a link with all the statistics, if you're interested.
