Hi new to posting but read quite a lot, I'm not able to upload photos but I can see a faint line my partner think he can see it, I don't know if it's my mind playing tricks on me as it something I really want any advice?
Thanks

Get a pink dye test. They are much clearer early on. Good luck.

@Whenlifegivesyoulemons19 How many days post ovulation are you? If you're testing early then the line might be faint now but will hopefully get darker over the next few days.

It's been really hard to track with my periods all over place but from what I've works out I should ovulated around the 16th of June was due on the 30th

Ok. I seem to harp on about this on every thread, BUT my periods varied from 29-36 days. So I bought a BBT thermometer off of eBay, downloaded fertility friend and began to track. I started to notice a pattern and would know when my period was actually due based on when I ovulated.

It was so much easier getting my period than a negative test. It gave me a sense of control.

I set an alarm every morning for 6 am and recorded my temp laying flat in bed. I highly recommend it. We fell pregnant 3 months after I began tracking.

@Whenlifegivesyoulemons19, have you actually been tracking ovulation using opk’s, cervical mucous or temping? If you did ovulate around 16th June and are around 10 days late for your period, you’d expect to be getting pretty clear bfp’s by now. It’s possible you ovulated late which would push everything back. Things that can affect ovulation are illness, stress even travel out of your ‘normal’ commuting routine.

I would wait another 2-3 days and then test with a FRER test as, in studies, they are one of the most sensitive tests available.
