Ok here is my deal... Tomorrow am I will be 10dpo. My bb's ache and I am super bloated but then I have felt "symptoms" many times in the past and I was not pregnant.

I have 2 digital pregnancy tests here that I have had but do not have any money right now to spend on other tests. AF is due Saturday. So do I test tomorrow with a digi or wait a few more days?

Me being a poas addict, I want to test but know the digi's are not as sensitive as the other tests and I do not want to waste them. hmmmmmm.........

I would say test.... but.... if you only have digis, you may get a negative. With me, at 11dpo, I barely got a positive digi. My HCG was only 24. I think they detect 20-25 or something like that. Of course, there are 2 in the box right?? You can always test now and then again later.

I would say test away. If you only have two and can't get anymore tests then I would say wait at least 1 more day.

Now if you wake up with more symptoms then you should def. test tomorrow and then wait until at least the day AF is supposed to be here.


Praying that you get a BFP!

You winding us up with that question?

In all seriousness, we're the wrong crowd to ask such a loaded question but since you only have 2 and they are digi's, I would wait a few days unless you get some more strong symptoms and then you should probably test right away.

I'm so hoping you get your bfp hun!

You girls are so funny, I should have known better than to ask in here, lol... I tested not pregnant today on the digi. I am not sad or anything. I was hoping for a + but I still have 5 more months of trying before we give up!

Thanks Jules, Love you too! I will wait and if AF doesnt show up by Saturday afternoon or Sunday then I will test. But I think I am out... Either way it is ok, I wanted to make sure I was in the same DDC as you

I say not to rule yourself out just yet. WIth a digi you may not get a BFP until 11 or 12 dpo... sometimes even later.

What everybody else said -- Sorry about the BFN But there's still hope! Digis can be so fickle. Meh. I never take a digi unless I already have a positive on a FRER, I can't stand to see the words flashing in my face
