Well you are 11 days past ovulation then, and if you get a sensitive test, it should work by now. If not, wait a until the day you missed your period. I got a positive result 7 days past ovulation with my first pregnancy using these very sensitive tests. This time around I bought a test that said to wait until you missed your period, not sensitive at all, and got a positive 15 days past ovulation, the day my period was due. Good luck.

One thing you might want to see if you can find (on or inside the box) is the HGC (?) levels required for a positive.
(I'm sure you know, but HGC is the hormone in your first morning urine that produces the positive reading. All pregnancy tests -- expensive or dollar-store variety -- are just a chemical reaction. The only difference is how much HGC is required to make the reaction happen.)
The higher the levels, the more difficult it is to get a positive reading. More expensive tests generally require higher concentrations of HGC.
So, basically: Go to the drugstore and buy the test with the lowest HGC levels possible. It's still 99% accurate; you're just more likely to get a positive result earlier on in your pregnancy before the HGC has fully risen.
No matter what, I'd wait for first-morning urine. And getting negative results always drove me crazy, so I usually waited until 15+ dpo before testing so I didn't go crazy. But if you don't think it will ruin your special day if you're not pregnant, go ahead and test! Might as well see!

Same here...my lmp was on the 28th, but I also think it might be early. I tested on Saturday morning like a nutcase and got a negative. Therefore, I think I'm going to wait until at least Wed before I test again.
Hang in there. My mom told me she didn't get a positive urine test until 2 weeks after her missed period with my youngest sister! Puts things into perspective, no?
Good luck!

it's best to do it in the morning. the 1st pee of the day will have the most hormones in it.

If you feel you are pregnant then today will work as well as tomorrow.
