8dpo, bfn but positive ovulation test??

Hi all,
dh and I are on month one ttc baby 2. Im certain im 8dpo today so did a ic this morning, I know ridiculously early, and it was a bfn, to be expected really!!
After I did the test I thought I saw a faint shadow, but holding the test at different angles i wasn't sure at all! Hmm so I thought I'd do a quick ovulation strip as even when I'm not ovulating I tend to get a faint second line, so just wanted to compare it to the pregnancy test to see where the second line should be! I'm quite sane really!! Grin
Anyway the second line on the ovulation test is very similar colour to the test line so now I'm confused, it looks like it's a positive ovulation test, so now I've no idea when I ovulated this month, if I did at all!!
So think I'll just test again in a day or two! I'm not expecting to fall this month as it did take almost a year with baby1.
This ttc lark isn't easy is it! Grin

Here's the ovulation test (green) and the pregnancy test (blue) if anybody wants a look!
Thanks for any help you lovely ladies can offer!

The photo is very blurry can you take it more in focus?

Michellebops · 13/08/2019 10:50

Put a ring over the pregnancy test and it will focus better

Nicecupofcoco · 13/08/2019 10:54

Thank you ladies! Sorry my phone camera isn't the best. Will try the ring!

Sorry I can't get much clearer! Could always try again in a day or two. I still see the shadow in certain lights, but I don't have the sharpest vision!

Give it another few days and test again.
I'm exactly same situation-8dpo and had sore boobs since Friday, and feel sick today took a test and "feel" there's a shadow but can't get it to show on camera.

I know it's early but it satisfied that urge to test 🙈

Nicecupofcoco · 13/08/2019 14:58

Keeping my fingers crossed for us @Michellebops nice to know there's somebody else in my position too!
I'm going to try to resist the urge to test now for a couple of days! Might ask dh to leave them in his car or something! Grin

Yeah I resisted going to Asda to buy a frer. I've had cramps pains this afternoon and a few sharp pains in left ovary area. I did have surgery there 8 weeks ago so trying not to raise my hopes.

I googled how soon for implantation and it said average 8/12 after ovulation so now I'm hopeful these are implantation pains.

I think with dr google you could convince yourself anything you want lol.

I'm going to wait until the weekend 🤞

Nicecupofcoco · 13/08/2019 18:07

That's true! I'll try and wait until the weekend too!
Yes I've had similar pains today, fleeting pains, I keep thinking can it really be in my head, but who knows!
Let me know how you get on!

I will do 🤞 same for you

Nicecupofcoco · 18/08/2019 08:54

Hi @Michellebops any more new with your tests? I tested a couple of days after my first post (stupidly) and got the strongest line yet on a one step pregnancy test, but still faint. I tested yesterday and again this morning and got a faint shadow line, that's barely visable, so I'm calling it a negative. I'm sick of tests! GrinI'm guessing if I was pregnant it was a chemical, which is a shame, but just want to bleed now so I can draw a line under it and look to next month.
Hope things OK for you.

Hi @Nicecupofcoco I'm doing ok thank you.
I did a clearblue early detection earlier today but after a long hold and it looks like there is a blue line, very faint though. I'm approx 12 dpo so still early. One app suggests I'm due Tuesday and another Thursday.

I feel nauseous all the time and have a gurgle-y stomach but could be anything tbh.

I'm sorry if it's not your month. I feel your disappointment ❤️

Nicecupofcoco · 18/08/2019 16:37

@michellebops sounds promising! Will keep my fingers crossed for you! Smile guess you just have to keep being patient and see what the week brings! I'm hoping it's your bfp!
I've started spotting now, so think af is almost here, I'm glad to put this cycle behind me and move to the next! Positive thoughts for us both! Smile

I've posted my pics on a new thread a short while ago but you can't see anything.

I think my mind is tricking me.

I thought I had cheapy tests but none so will wait it out x
