Negative Pregnancy Test- Too Early??
Asked by J.M. from Los Angeles
on June 13, 2011
-
Ok so I am only 11 Days past Ovulation and I took a test this morning with first morning urine. I want to know if anyone has tested early like me and then tested again...
Answers
- Wait until 16 days post-ovulation and test, especially if your BBT is still high and hasn't fallen yet.
- Wait until the day your period is due. The hormone levels increase SO rapidly each day that even another 2-3 days can change the results.
- I took a test the day I was due to get my period and got a negative test. I waited a couple of days and tested again and it was positive. It is possible.
