Clear&simple strips

Hi everyone!

So I've recently been away with my partner and had a break from taking ovulation tests, I took a few when we got back home but didn't manage to find a peak,
I stopped testing after a few days as I was stressing about not ovulating when I was supposed to be taking this month as a break anyway. (Pic attached from tests I did do)

I normally have full trust in what my apps tell me and normally have a cycle length of 27/28 days, however my last cycle stretched for 31 which is quite weird for me, I feel that completely messed me up for this cycle too.

The last 24hours I've been experiencing really bad dizzy spells on and off, my apps are currently telling me I'm 9DPO but I'm unsure whether to trust them as I didn't find my peak. I've taken a clear&simple test strip last night just incase, once it had dried I could swear I saw a shadow, I won't insert a pic as my camera won't pick it up, it has no pink colour in but I'm just wondering if this could be a possibility? My partner says he can slightly see it too, I'm going to get an Easy@home strip test and take one tonight&tomorrow morning.

Just wondering if anyone's ever had any similar experiences and if you've ever had an issues with clear&simple test strips 🙂

I am currently just under 5weeks pregnant and used clear and simple strips from 9DPO all were negative or i thought i could see a shadow, decided to do other brands at 12DPO - all positives!! i even did another clear and simple yesterday just to see and it was there but not like blazing like all my other brands! I personally won’t use them again in the future!

Congratulations!! And thank you so much! I won't be buying them again 🙂

Update on the situation;
I've just been to the toilet and had brown/redish CM is there any chance this could be implantation bleeding or is 9dpo too late for that (well that's if I am 9dpo) as I have no idea if it's that or I'm getting my period, I'm having some light cramping so I'm thinking I might be getting my period but I never normally get brown/redish cm before I'm due, I just start bleeding.

Well weirdly i have had cramping and bleeding pinky / brown for the last 2 days. Not looking amazing so waiting for EPU to ring back. I’m 16DPO today. i would say implantion at 9DPO is fine - it’s probs very much too late for me!

My fingers are crossed for you! 🤞🏼

I just got 2 very very faint lines on clear and simple hcg, wasn't sure if it was evap lines. But just got a better line on a different more sensitive test so I think clear and simple ones are alright but maybe not the best but good price and you'll still see a pattern when you use loads for ovulation!
