My husband and I are trying to conceive. We are both healthy and our doctor said that we should have no trouble baby-making, as long as the timing is right and nature takes its course.

My cycle is like clockwork... 27 days exactly, every month, no variation. My period is always 4 days, with spotting on the 5th day. I can chart my cycle down to a 6-8 hour window.

The first day of my last period was December 24.
My last period lasted for 4 days, with spotting on the 5th day.
I was due to ovulate on/around January 6th, according to the chart I have.
My husband and I did some baby-dancing on January 5th, January 7th, January 9th, and January 11th.
My next period is due on January 20th.

I know that the earliest I *should* test is the 15th (5 days before missed period, if I miss) but my husband is leaving town on business the morning of the 15th, and I was hoping to perhaps have a result before then...
Would the morning of the 14th be too soon to test? Should I wait until the 15th, or wait to see if I actually miss my period (my husband would be away at this time)?

Obviously, I know the how-to's and what I should be doing. But I'm looking for what everyone thinks. Opinions? Is 8dpo enough to test?
