Dear ladies of Mumsnet, what do you make of this? I’ve been trying to conceive for 3 months, have been using Clearblue digital OPKs. I normally have a fairly regular 28 day cycle ovulating on day 16.
This cycle something strange was happening, it was as if my body kept gearing up to ovulate but didn’t. I kept getting highs but no peak and then finally got peak/LH surge readings a week later than usual (day 23). I wasn’t sure if I had ovulated for real as I hadn’t had any ovulation pains. Have not been temping.
Now day 35 of my cycle, my period is a week late, no other symptoms. I kept taking pregnancy tests but all were negative until this morning, when on a Boots HCG test I thought I could see a very faint second line. I had other brands of test so tried them... Sainsbury’s test was negative, but then I took a Clear Blue digital test and to my surprise it said ‘Pregnant - 1-2 weeks’.
So - am I? Which test should I believe? I guess the only answer is ‘wait and test again’ but I am now on tenterhooks.
I am 41, never had a child. If this is for real and the pregnancy continues I will be beyond overjoyed.
Please help me calm down and wait for a definite test!
