Default When to test?

I never knew what an anxious process this could be. Vanessas cycles are very regular, for the last 6 months we have been documenting her cycles, and she typically starts her period on the 24th or 25th day of her cycle. Today is day 26th, with no sight of AF, however, we tested again this morning, and got a negative!
What the heck is going on here?! Many people think were just testing too soon. We are over the tests and are just gonna wait it out for the next few days. But geesh, we want some answers! good or bad, we just want to know!
So can you guys tell me when you suggest to test? or in the past how many days past missing her period would it take to get a positive...even a faint positive?
We really were not expecting it to work on the first time, yes we had hope but first try? really?! so here we are just sitting around, and waiting for these days to SLOWLY pass by.

Some people will get a positive before their missed period......I got mine 3 or 4 days before it was due. Yet some people don't get their bfp till a week or 2 after their missed period. So, I wouldn't give up hope yet. Hang in there. And best of luck to you.

I tested 2 weeks to the day I conceived - BFN... but I just knew, so I went and had a blood test done. I am one of those that does not test positive for quite a while. As long as there's no AF, don't give up hope!!

good luck... i had a 26 day cycle and was able to get a pos the day before it was due, but it all comes down to when the egg implanted, if it implanted fairly later then you may have to wait several days (maybe even a week) before you get a pos
