Default poas question

we got the http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/ brand tests and i was wondering if any one has had experience with these particular tests?

this is a snipet from their site:
Both tests are capable of detecting human chorionic gonadotropin or hCG (a hormone present in women's urine during pregnancy) at levels of just 20 mIU/ml/hCG. That means you can begin testing accurately as early as six to eight days after conception - well before your first missed period!

If you are fertility charting, and you know your ovulation date, you may begin testing as early as 7-10 DPO (days past ovulation) when the hCG level in urine will, on average, reach 20 mIU/ml. We recommend using a first-morning urine sample as this will contain the highest concentration of hCG.

the 2nd question is....is it to early to test tomorrow morning given these stats? I'll be 7 dpo. I have 5 tests but don't want to start to early on the POAS marathon.....

thanks

Ummm their website isn't entirely correct.

Implantation occurs at 7 - 10dpo, the implantation is what releases the hormone and it may take more than a day for it to show up in your urine. So, depending on when implantation occurs, you may need to wait until 11 or 12dpo. I usually begin testing at 10dpo.

I have no experience with those HPTs, but I've heard they aren't completely reliable, so test with caution.

GL!!!

I would wait to test. I started with EPT, and went on a marathon. They all came back BFN. I went to my doctor on Friday, 10 dpo and she said it was still too early. I know it's hard, but I wouldn't waste tests quite yet. Give it a few more days. Also, if you go to peeonastick.com, she has interesting info on hpts.

I agree with the other two girls.

7dpo is entirely too early to start testing and really 10dpo is too early. As the girls said it takes days for the hormone level to build high enough to be seen on a HPT, even the early detection ones.

I think that 11dpo is the earliest you could expect to see something, but 13dpo is probably the most reliable day to start.
