Today I got the big smiley face on my OPK, so it's time for the first home insem. Holy Moly! And Aiy Caramba!
So, I'm a bit slow, internets, and honestly, overwhelmed by all the info out there. When should I do my first pregnancy test if I insem tonight and tomorrow (3 insems)? Would it be a home test (POAS) day 12 after insem? Or should I make a doctor's appointment for a blood test earlier than that?

WooHoo!!!
When to test depends on you. Will seeing BFN's on too early tests make the wait worse or would the slight chance of getting a BFP on 8dpiui be worth the more likely BFN's? Your body won't start producing HcG until implantation (approx 6-10 days after fertilization). The most sensitive poas tests won't show a positive unless there is 20ish ml of HcG present. I used to start testing 8dpiui but that was way way too early. I was using dollar store tests so it wasn't too expensive but seeing the BFN's started to get too rough. Now I hold out until 10 more like 12 dpiui. I would say blood test no sooner than 14 dpiui.
So excited for you! I hope you have first timers luck!
