It’s possible to get a 10 DPO BFN (big fat negative) after experiencing early pregnancy symptoms. These might include: Mild cramping. Nausea.

The simple answer is yes, you could still be pregnant even with a negative test, depending on when you took it, but there are also other reasons your period could be late. A pregnancy test detects HCG levels in your urine which increase the longer you are pregnant.

It’s possible to get a negative result from a home pregnancy test when you’re actually pregnant. This is known as a false-negative.

For many of these tests, hCG can be detected in your urine about 10 days after conception. However, taking it after your missed period reduces the chance of getting a false-negative. There are a few things to keep in mind when you take a home pregnancy tests, including: Using your first morning urine when possible.

At 9 DPO, the zygote (fertilized egg) may be implanting itself into the lining of your uterus. This can cause some symptoms. Your blood volume is increasing, and there are also some spectacular hormonal changes happening.

Older research shows that days 8, 9, and 10 DPO tend to be the most common for successful implantation. Once the embryo has implanted into the wall of the uterus, the cells around the embryo start to produce human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), the hormone that will turn a pregnancy test positive.

A pregnancy test can usually detect hCG levels within 10 days of a missed period. Some tests can detect hCG even earlier, within a week of conception, but no test is 100% accurate.

At 9 DPO, you’re still nearly a week away from your first missed period. Health care providers often recommend that you wait at least until the first day of your missed period to take a pregnancy test. While many home pregnancy tests claim that they can detect pregnancy sooner than that, they’re not always accurate.

On average, implantation occurs around the ninth day after ovulation (9 DPO). You might assume that since implantation takes place on 9 DPO, it is the appropriate time to go for a pregnancy test. But nope. Of course, it is your choice to go for a pregnancy test whenever you want to.

When you hit 12 DPO, you’re in prime territory for early symptoms and a possible positive result on your pregnancy test.

You’re 9 days past ovulation (9 DPO), which happens to be the most likely day for implantation to occur. You may think that means that it’s time to take a pregnancy test, but the reality for most women is that this is too early to get a positive.

If pregnant, the amount of hCG in your system should be around 25 mIU at 10 dpo (days past ovulation), 50 mIU at 12 dpo, 100 mIU at around two weeks dpo. Our pregnancy tests are the most sensitive available, sensitive to 20 mIU/hCG. This means you can begin testing for pregnancy at 7-10 days past ovulation.

The soonest you can take a pregnancy test is after 12 days from ovulation. Counting backward from the missed period it is 2 days before missed period. Taking test sooner than that will increase the chance of false negative.

The Gold Digital First Response Pregnancy Test is the earliest test. It can detect pregnancy test 6 days before missed period accurately. The test is expensive and not ideal for those who are testing out of anxiety.
