Waiting!

I had an IUI on Friday June 18th. The pregnancy tests say that the earliest I can use it is 5 days before my cycle starts. Should I wait until my cycle starts or should I try a pregnancy test 5days before?

I  had my IUI the same day! I don't think I am going to test early, but we will see how I feel as the week progresses. I don't think I will test any earlier then Thursday but will most likely wait til Friday or Saturday. When do you think you will test?

I tested on day 11 and got BFP, and day 12, 13, 14, 15, because I didnt believe it.lol  If you didnt have an hcg shot, you would be ok to test but you may get a false negative.  I would use FRE with FMU for the most accurate result.  Good luck.

The chance of getting a false negative when testing at day 10 is high.  Realistically you should be testing about when your cycle is due. It is stressful getting negative tests when you just may be too early.

I reckon better to be sure and wait until at least day 14.
