    I never heard of HPT being sold at a dollar store. Do you really want to take that chance?

    I don't want to try it just in case of it gives me the wrong answer like if I were to be pregnant and then it shows up negative.. but I remember hearing someone use it and it did come up that they were pregnant... but I don't want to take the chance your righht!

    And also how many DPO can u take a test I am now 10DPO?

    I don't recommend that you take them DPO. Rather, you need to take them after the missed period. It takes a while for hCG to show up in your system and DPO is very early.

    Remember, the first symptom of pregnancy is a missed period.

    thankss... then I guess I will try it... bcuz I find that HPT that u buy from the store they are a lot of money.. so if the ones at the dollar store work then.. I might as well try it out... = )

    I took a pregnancy test before my period and it came up nagative, then I took it 5 days after my missed period and it came up positive. So I think you should wait or if your really worried about it go get blood test done.

    Well have you ever heard of the HPT Early Response? I heard it is supposed to detect early pregnancy up to 4 days before your period.

    Can someone please help me out.. I have irregular periods.. so I c ant test on the time I miss my period... so how many days weeks after IB should I test??
  • May 22, 2008, 07:33 PM

    Please understand that implantation bleeding is not medically proven. You should try to test about when you think you should have had your period.

    That's the problem I have irregular periods and I had some bleeding 17 days after my period and I have never had that happen ever..

    Did you have intercourse around the time of the bleeding? Again, you are in the waiting zone unfortunately. You should probably try testing in a week or so.
  • May 22, 2008, 07:40 PM
    mustang0529
    Yes I did have intercourse around that time... do people usually get a positive on the day of IB or does it take a while for the HCG to go into your system??
