How long before you tested positive? | 11/7/08 5:01 PM
I am now either 33 days pregnant or very late for AF, with two negative tests under my belt (one from afternoon and the other from morning samples). I have heard the whole "you could have just ovulated late" line too many times and just need a glimpse of hope- for all of you mommies out there: how long did it take for your test to show positive? Thanks for the support!!

I was ovulationg on the 30th of Sept, I took a cheap Dollar Tree test on the 12th, and had a faint line. Hope that helps!

I have a 32 day length cycle and tested negative 3 times the week leading up to when I should have started my period. The day after I was supposed to start, I tested yet again before going to bed and got a positive. That was in May and I'm now 28wks pregnant. Hormones can be tricky!

I have a 28 day cycle and tested positive the day before I was supposed to start my period. I tested positive again the day after I should have started, because I didn't believe the first one! I recently gave birth to my new baby boy, so the test was correct! However, I know a lot of times you are supposed to wait at least a week after you should have started your period to test more accurately, but for some reason mine showed positive earlier than that. Good luck!

I took a test 3 days before I was supposed to start my period... It was negative. Then, I took one 3 days after I was supposed to start and it was positive!!

It showed up positive 6 days before my missed period. But I have a 35 day cycle. And I'm a FREAK of nature when it comes to Pregnancy Tests. If I'm pregnant...it's bright pink lines immediately.

I'm sure my experiences don't help you since you seem anxious to test. sorry.
I know it's hard to be patient but relax. Stressing sometimes throws your cycle out of whack.

Hey a blood test is usually a sure way to find out. just an idea.

I was feeling cramps four to three days earlier from my expected period. My cycle alternates between 28 and 29, anyways, it was too earlier for cramps. On the day I supposed to have my period, I took a home pregnancy test and for my surprise it come out positive. I was happy and shocked... because I was not expecting to get pregnant after a previous month of many 'trials' and failing to conceive. So, if you're feeling cramps it can be a positive sign. Good Luck!

I have a 28 day cycle and I tested positive the day I missed AF with both of my pregnancies.
