TTC & 13dpo but irregular cycle... help needed!

[Kah09]

Hey! I’m pretty new to all of this so will be greatful for any advice/insight anyone can give me.

I’m a T1 diabetic who came off the pill in January and had irregular periods (every other month/56 day cycle etc). I fell pregnant in late June but had an early MC. I ov around 8th that month and tested with a bfp on 24/25th.

My cycles have improved & from September are now on average 45 days long... but I ov monthly according to test strips and have monthly AF despite a gap in between.

My last AF was 23-28 Oct, & Ov tests indicated 9th November. I’ve tested early & 10dpo had a faint blue line appear on a test I’d left for a few hours but nothing since (& with sensitive tests). I feel twinges/scratching, am irritable, thick CM & now sore boobs but no AF. I’m loathed to test again & am now waiting for AF but I don’t really know when to expect it? I’m now around 13dpo... should i wait or test again tomorrow? I’ve spent so much money!!!

According to my app my projected AF is 28 November but that’s based on my average cycles which is too long according to when I ov. I did ov tests after I ovulated to see if it happened twice and it didn’t... so I either haven’t ov at all, am due my AF immediately, or have an unusually long luetal phase/implantation phase?

Any help/advice appreciated! No hint of a line since the 10dpo test... and it was a cheap sainsburys/grocery store one but was reliable for me before. None of the same brand have done this since though so may be a fluke

This was the 10dpo test but I've since tested with first response and nothing at all. Plus again with a few more of these Sainsburys ones and nothing!

Have you tried other tests? There looks like there's a super faint second line on the Sainsbury's one in the picture?! x

Sorry it looks like it might just be an evaporation line? How long before taking the picture had you done the test? Maybe try a pink dye one which is much easier to read if you still think you might be? Xx

Yeah i took the test at 8am and went back to it at about 12pm so a few hours and the stick was still wet.

I googled evaporation lines as thought it could be and it basically said that there should never be any colourful dye coming through at all, regardless of how old it is and instead a shadow if it's an evap line and only happens when dry? , and that as the test strip is still wet and working back and forth it indicates a chemical reaction of some sort.

I'm not sure - I was about 70% sure after I saw the test but I took a pink test the morning after and nothing whatsoever. Just waiting for AF now and keeping everything crossed!! X

Awww yes! Keep everything crossed and maybe do a test again in a couple of days if no visit from AF! I do think it looks very promising for a positive though! I'll send good pregnancy test vibes your way! :) xx
