The longer you wait the more accurate and clear the results are.. that being said.. I took a walmart cheapie 8 days before AF was even due and got a positive. It took the entire 10 minutes allotted for reading to get it but it was there. the Dollar tree ones showed up the next day as well just really faint Good luck!

well...if you can hold yourself back until you miss your period then its the best choice of course...but you can also start testing at 10 dpo...but you might get false negatives....good luck and be patient

Sorry I meant when I tested with the Dollar tree ones the next day they showed BFP as well, not that they didn't show a positive until the next day.. my preggo brain gets the best of me some times and I end up not typing what i mean clearly! Good luck!

It's best to honestly wait till your AF is due.but you can test anytime it may just be to early to get a positive.

I've gotten positive tests as early as 10 DPO (dollar store ones).

It is better to wait til you are a few days late because normally you'll get a pretty obvious and bright positive if you were pregnant.

With that said, if I have any thought that I could be, I can't stop myself from holding my pee and testing.. When I was TTC I got cheapies just so I could start testing at like 6-7 dpo because I'm impatient!!!!

If you are going to test before your period, best thing to do is to use FMU, or, if you are like me and can't wait, hold your urine without drinking more then some sips of water to kill thirst lol, then pee in a cup and if it looks concentrated dip that test lol
