Pregnancy test

edited November -1 in Trying to Conceive
My wife inseminated me yesterday afternoon and this morning. I'm a little confused though about when to take the pregnancy test. I'm using the Fertility Friend app and it is predicting my period should start on the 11th. So my first option is to test on the 11th or soon after. 2nd option is 2 weeks from yesterday, which is the 16th. The 3rd option is the 21st, which is when the app says to test. Sooooo which freakin date should I test on?

    I've never had a BFP (well I did have a chemical that was positive at 12dpo,) but I usually start testing around 10dpo because I see a lot of people here getting positives around that time. Fertility Friend tells me to test on the 12th. This time I am going to *try* to wait it out and see if AF arrives that day, and if not I'll test. I don't know though. I'm already getting anxious. :)

    Day 10 is a great day to start testing as long as you remember to not lose hope. It's not over until it's over. With my first I got a + on the evening of day 13 (bfn that same morning) and a + on day 11 with our 2nd child. Wishing you success!

    I would test 14 DPI. Everyone is different. My 2 BFB's I didn't get until 14DPIUI (the second w/ a FRER & I was pregnant w/ twins). But I drove myself crazy testing this cycle (BFN) seeing everyone else get theirs @ 8DPO etc. I won't be doing that again because seeing that BFN even though you know it's too early still hurts. Just remember like A&J said it isn't over until it's over. FX!!

    I got my first BPF 8DPO using FRER .. but it was SO light, I was convinced it was an evap line or a mistake, or something, no way would i believe it. Morning of day 9 FMU, I used another FRER again, and still very silvery, maybe evap line .. so I couldn't stand it and bought a clearblue digi immediately, like the same hour haha and used that and it came back - pregnant.
    So for me it was a short TWW at 8 days. I'm a test early and test often kind of girl. There's always the possibility of a chemical pregnancy let down if you test too early, but I'd rather know! Good luck!

    I got my BFP 10dpo, but it was so light and a super squinter. I tested again at 12dpo and then there was no mistaking it!
