How early can you do a HPT?

How early after the first unprotected BD can you do a HPT?

 

[MissJuly10]

I'm not sure but I've read if you're irregular, to do it 10-19 days after. Otherwise I think most tests go by on the day of AF. I picked one up today that said it could be used 4 days before AF.

 

[maybe baby]

It would depend when you BD'd in your cycle hun.

The earliest you can test is 4 days before your missed period or 10dpo if you are tracking that.

Good luck and babydust xx

I am not regular as have had the implant up until the 28th September, I started showing a faint 2nd line on the OPK from the 7th and a very strong 2nd line on the 9th, 10th and today.
We have BD'd 6th, 8th and 10th.

Depending on the test hun, different tests pick up the HCG hormone earlier or later, normally 2-3 days before AF due xx

i would go for the day off your missed af to be fair! as i took a test on the sat which was 10dpo came up negative, but then on the monday done another and it was a bfp xxx

Problem is I only have a rough idea as to when AF is due as have not had a full months cycle off the Implant yet so dont really know what is going on.
I think I will do a HPT this Saturday which is 10 days after our first completly unprotected BD and then do another on the 25th which is around when I think AF is due.
But based on what I can work out, we BD'd at just the right time, 4 days before I started to fully ovulate and have done so every other day whilst ovulating.
As I am probably coming to the end of my ovulation do you think it is nessersary to take full advantage and BD every day??!!

Do what I do and just BD like there's no tomorrow!

Oh and that's with me not really understanding where or when I'm due to OV!!

I think you have the right idea there!
My hubby though I think he is feeling the stress, as when I was on on my meds I had NO sex drive so he was lucky to get any and now I want it all the time and I think it is wearing him out!

 

[MissJuly10]

Lol, no harm in doing it, we make sure it's relaxed and not pressured and just go for it!

Well we try and BD as much as we can but since my AF finished, we've missed 3 days out of 19 but I know he's getting stressed due to work as it's busy and everything else so I'm not making a point of BDing, we do it when we feel like it but as I say, that tends to be more often than not!
