Testing help

How early do people tend to get BFP? I’m due in 6 days & took an Early Response test this morning but it was negative. I don’t know whether I’ve bee imagining cramping & nausea for past week! Are the early tests reliable or is there still hope?? I think I tested closer to my period with my first but feeling a bit deflated this morning with BFN 😓.

Hopefully still a bit early for you! I'd wait another 48 hours if you can but best of luck and fingers crossed!
Most test claim to give you a positive result as early as 5 days prior to AF. They also sometimes claim to be as effective as 99%, which is a bit confusing or misleading actually. IF they give you a positive result it's 99% (or 99.9% accuarate). BUT as TeeAli wrote, your hcg levels need to be high in order to show a positive.
So don't worry if you tested negative, it doesn't mean you can't be pregnant. Some woman will get a positive very early, and some only a couple of days after AF was due.
In the end, it's up to you. If you can handle the negative tests, you can start testing every day. I can't, so I only test after I missed my period
