@Anya23 i was exactly 4 weeks when clearblue said 2-3 also found that very strange tbh...have to go back next week....we shall see but even more stressed now

Edited

Could it have been a faulty test? You are right where you should be based on today's tests so I wouldn't worry

HansBanans · 11/09/2025 14:19

This maybe explains better x

HansBanans · 11/09/2025 14:18

@Ec2808 the Clearblue 2-3 is based on from conception so if that was 2 weeks ago suggests you are 4-5 weeks pregnant x

@Anya23 i ovulated on August 26th....

Then I think it should be normal, but weird about the clearblue digital
Do you have to go back to see if the value rises?

It seems normal for four weeks, but didn't the clearblue digital say 2-3 weeks (so 5-6)? When did you ovulate?

My temp has plummeted this morning so think AF will be on time Saturday.

Sorry for all the negatives and AF's for everyone. TTC is so all consuming isnt it. Even though we have been trying since April I keep trying to remember that there have been atleast 2 cycles where one of us has been away for the fertile window, and I dont think i ovulated in July, so I don't count those ones! September will be cycle 4 for me by that reasoning. I got pregant both times on cycle 4 so might be lucky for me!

@HansBanans i noticed that this month it was far less calculated if that makes any sense but when we did dtd it was because we really wanted too and not just for baby making 😂also didn't focus as much on symptoms etc...just took it day by day ...i know we don't want to hear it believe me i was the worst at it but stressing less about it will make it happen ❤

@Anya23 it helps regulate cycles and reduces oxidative stress. My cycles were 28-33 days but have been around 28-31 since I started it so it has helped a little bit with that

@Ec2808 we will get there. I think I’m going to focus on iron rich foods this month as my iron levels were on the lower side of “normal”, which can affect implantation etc. I’ve had to promise DP there’ll be no more early testing now 🙈

Oh I see, interesting!

@Ec2808 it is what it is. Luckily I hadn’t got my hopes up with the faint lines on the tests but think DP had and he’s feeling a bit down with it. I’m taking coq10, folic acid, vitamin d and cinnamon

What does cinnamon do?

I did another test this morning and another indent line however my period has now started :( onto the next cycle! Starting to feel quite disheartened by TTC and it's only been 3 months since far

HansBanans · 11/09/2025 03:02

Just took another Clearblue and all I’ve got is a very thin blue line to the side of the test line. Came up within the time frame but clearly not a real positive 🙄 very frustrating as they’ve all done this within the timeframe! This was at 3 minutes

MoonLitLavender · 10/09/2025 20:51

Hi @MixedBananas👋 welcome 🙂 so earlier on this year my GP tested my hormones and prolactin was one of the ones they tested for, weirdly mine was really low which was surprisingly as I'd just finished my breastfeeding journey with my then 3 year old. I thought it would be higher after bfing 3 years! But one thing I found is that I never got pregnant the whole time I was feeding, my periods returned after 15 months, and never fell pregnant despite not preventing. X

MoonLitLavender · 10/09/2025 20:42

So I think what had happened was the first test was slightly saturated (like barely past the max line) and it gave a false postive?! as the next test was negative. So I dipped another just past the max line again and it showed a faint line again! Then I went abit mad and dipped a few more under the max line and they all came out negative! Very confusing but I wont be buying one step again 🤣 (lines look grey in the photo but pink and convincing in real life and both lines appeared straight away without any dodgy dye run) not claiming a bfp btw!! What a day ... 🤣
