Advice, is it a positive?

Is it possible you didn’t ovulate @SimplyAmy1 your body geared up, but an egg didn’t release, so it’s trying again now?

Hi op, perhaps it might be worth contacting gp, as I've heard about shoulder pain and early pregnancy.
Possibly help you find out what's happening, given the tests have been confusing? X

Hi @SimplyAmy1, looking at your tests, HCG & OPK, I think you are not pregnant this time. Since you've only had one period since coming off the pill I think your cycles just aren't regular yet. Disappointing I know! I always think, but women get pregnant ON the pill, why not when I'm OFF it?? I hope AF shows up soon to end your limbo. Then onwards to another opportunity! I really recommend OPK testing everyday from when you stop bleeding to when you start again. During my fertile days I usually test twice a day. If nothing else, you get an absolute of what is going on in your cycle, ie which days you are surging and if you are having multiple surges in a cycle.

@SimplyAmy1 ye I am, I set up a online app not actually due to this but fertility questions in general af had actually turned up 2 days prior to app (was pre booked) I have three children however I was worried I've not fell preg already and had twice this time been longest af has been late and thought preg deep down I knew she basically said due date of af it's like 99.9999% would get a positive
So in other words no way would happen
I think when I realised what I knew deep down I relaxed af came! Now on for this month lol

@SimplyAmy1
Just wanted to jump and say hi, I'm 4 days late with BFN and sore boobs!
How have you stayed sane! I'm going crazy already 😂

@SimplyAmy1 thought was positive! Then saw it's opk
I was 8 days late this month thought was preg! Basically got from doc (I know she's right) if you were preg you would have a positive test by now
It's harsh to hear but when you get your head round it you realise it's right stop testing sit bacn relax af will come onto next month! Xx

Urghhh AF showed her ugly face!!!!

Morning ladies! So I am now either 13or 14dpo, period due tomorrow or Tuesday, clear negative this morning. So the wait is now will af show her face?

How we all doing?

I just want to jump in and say that @wanderlust2020 should mind her own business. As someone who had a MMC at 12 weeks in April and then a very odd CP in June, when I fell pregnant again, I took about 5 or 6 tests to confirm it was correct, I didn't think I was pregnant, so didn't test until the day I missed my AF, and then when it came up positive, I tested multiple times over the next few days to confirm my eyes weren't deceiving me. I'm now 21 weeks pregnant with a little boy! I tested a million times with my CP, because I had a positive test and then a week later, I literally bled for 25 hours, that was it, so not a typical AF, and I tested and tested to see if I'd lost it or it was a weird bleed. Sadly the line started vanishing and I'd lost it.

We should be allowed to take as many tests as we want if we feel the need to. Just because you're strong willed enough to just believe the 1 test you take a week late, doesn't mean we all are.

@simplyAmy1 I hope things go right for you, I hope this is your BFP. And just a bit of advice, avoid the blue dye sticks, they're not very good at with holding evap lines! The first positive I got with this pregnancy was with a pack of Poundland strips. They came up the day of missed period. So they're sensitive enough.

Good luck to every one else trying!! 💗

OP, I've skim read replies so apologies if I've missed this - this could be a potential chemical pregnancy. The faint line to no line fits. I've had 3 of these and it's very upsetting and disheartening, however I went on to have DD now 4. I agree you're not out until AF and I hope this month is your month, I just wanted to highlight it to you in case it fits.

Best of luck to you x

@SimplyAmy1 my only concern about your timeline would be that you could still have a slightly usual cycle since you have only had one period since coming off the pill even though you ovulated. So you may not be late after all. Fingers crossed though.

I've been pregnant 7 times and hopeful many many other months so I feel like I've peed on every stick going. I think it's absolutely natural to want to know if your body is starting down one path or another. I don't necessarily restrict myself during the TTW, I'll have a glass or two of wine and eat the medium steak, so it's not for that purpose as such (although I'd like to know if we were going on a mad night out) but it's natural to be curious. And I'm fairly certain there is a direct link to a dopamine rush from seeing a second line. I'm currently 21 weeks with my 4th baby and even yesterday I walked past the pregnancy tests in the shop and had an urge to buy one 😂 Apparently the baby kicking me isn't enough reassurance. This was actually the first pregnancy I waited until my period was due to test and only because I was so sure it didn't work out for us that month.

@SimplyAmy1 let's keep
Fingers crossed x

@SimplyAmy1 how many days late are you now?? How long is your usual cycle? And do you know when you ovulated? 🤣🤣 so many questions but need to make me feel sane?!
I usually have 28/30 days cycles, I'm on day 35 thought I ovulated on like day 15osh with my last easy day 17 and I only used my flo tracking app!
So o just don't even know feel like surely something would be there! Had 12 days of cramps! Constantly feel wet down below! (Sorry) but keep thinking af has arrived go toilet and nope!

@SimplyAmy1 sorry no I have took lol I had some £1 cheapos took on day due day before one day after then thought ahhh I'm not it's just late! Left it went and bought a frer yesterday took late afternoon! Negative! Now on at 35 not testing till Monday have one left!
