Is it true what it says you can test 7 days after conception?

Would you all recommend against that?

The trouble with these early tests is that they aren't very accurate when you test early. So in my experience you will test 7 days after ovulation, get a negative, discover they are only 52% accurate that early, so test again, and by the time AF arrives on time, you'll have done between 4 and 6 tests all negative and worked yourself into a frenzy, and spent a fortune. Or worse, got a TLP a few days before AF was due, but AF comes anyway as it was a chemical pregnancy which didn't implant, and then you are devastated because what you would otherwise regard just as AF suddenly becomes a miscarriage in your mind.

Speaking as someone who never followed this advice, but spent a fortune on HPTs over a long period before getting a BFP on the day before AF was due, having not tested early that month :rolleyes:

I got my BFP a day after AF was meant to be here.

I just simply thought AF was late and i wasn't pregnant haha

Was a huge shock.

ETA: But dont get them lol. Or if you do wait to test as late as you can.

I read somewhre that the hormones show on a normal test 12 days after conception
