From the sticky at the top of this forum:

Below is a HPT accuracy chart. We never recommend bitching about BFNs if you're testing before 14dpo. If you don’t chart, and therefore don’t know for sure when you ovulated, we suggest that you wait until the day after your longest cycle. If you test early, be prepared to see a BFN. Remember, you are never out until your period shows. Good luck!
HPT accuracy DPO
10 dpo : 35%
11 dpo : 51%
12 dpo : 62%
13 dpo : 68%
14 dpo : 74%
15 dpo : 80%
16 dpo : 88%
17 dpo : 92%
18 dpo : 99%

The stats that were posted above are what I've always seen.

That being said, I've been pregnant twice (2 miscarriages and DD) and got 2 positives on 9dpo and 1 on 8dpo.

Thanks guys. I looked at that when I first joined, but I didn't know what the abbreviations meant, lol. I think I'm somewhere around 11-13DPO and got a BFN. I'll try again this weekend.

When you get a BFP has absolutely no bearing on whether the pregnancy will stick.

That was kind of an awful thing to stay.

I don't think she meant it that way. Pamela has had multiple miscarriages so this isn't a topic with which she'd be insensitive.

I think she meant getting an early positive doesn't increase your risk for one. Though you could get a chemical pg which I know is why a lot of women prefer to wait until they're late.

As someone who is often misunderstood for her poor choice of wording or "tone" or otherwise, I am also going to trust she didn't mean it like this. Especially in light of what swizz just added.

And I don't POAS for the record. I peed once when I fainted and the doc made me but I really only pee on opks. CP fears is why
