What’s the latest DPO you can test before assuming you’re not pregnant ?

I am 10DPO tested negative with an early test this morning…just wanting to know how many more times I should test before I’m out this cycle.

I’d say if you don’t have a positive by 12 DPO, the chances are slim. 14 DPO the latest.

Exactly the same boat, and for some reason, really thought I was and am now feeling quite sure I am not. That said, last time I was also extremely sure I wasn’t after a negative test, and was very much wrong.

Not out until your period arrives as its a positive test only occurs 1-2 days after implantation has occurred.

The very latest could be 17/18dpo.

Implantation happens between 6-12dpo, takes 1-3 days, and a further 1-3 days for hCG to rise enough to be detected on an early detection test.

So assuming you implant on 12dpo, it takes the full 3 days to complete that brings you to 15dpo, and then takes another 3 full days for hCG to rise enough to show as early positive that brings you to 18dpo.

It's less likely the further along you get but it's the reason they say that you're not out until AF arrives xx

What about the early pregnancy tests? Does that make difference if an early one is saying no? Xxx

Unfortunately absolutely no difference. Its all marketing xxx

Use the Poundland strips maybe? Picked up for me at 9dpo and I got 5 for a £1. No evaporation lines either. Completely bare for every negative until a very faint line for a real positive. Their ovulation strips are good too. Like Isabella said, it’s all marketing.

How did you know you were ready for baby #2?

Me and husband are going back and forth on baby #2.

I always thought we’d be one and done, however my husband is desperate for another baby.

I would like another baby, but I just don’t know when the right time is. One half thinks to start trying soon, have the smaller gap and just go for it.

But then the other half thinks do I wait until my toddler is starting school? But then that’s a long time away really.

I just don’t know! How did you know it was the right time?

How can I help my son understand who he is more?

Im a mama to a 7 yr old biracial (black/white) boy. His dad (or dad’s family) isn’t in his life. Im trying to get my son to understand that he is black also and that it’s ok to be both white and black. He doesn’t like it when we bring it up (we don’t push it). I asked him if it’s because his family (that he knows) is white. He said yes. I’m planning on getting him more age appropriate books for him with characters that look like him. Some black history shirts and books. What else can I do? Help this mama out!!
