Start testing with the ovulation tests twice a day untill the test line is as dark or darker than the control line, the ovulation usually occurs within 12-36 hours after that. When u get a positive test as mentioned then start baby dancing to your hearts content

As Libby mentioned you want the line to be as dark to indicate your peak. Also, you can keep tract of body temperature to help tract potential ovulation and look at your discharge! Egg whites is what you want!! Also if you’re regular you can predict when abouts your ovulation window might be. We were also told to have add every 36-48hours to be sure to catch it. Best of luck!!

Don’t use the pregnancy tests until you’re close to your period starting. Just use ovulation tests now. You’ll want to take several ovulation tests. You can take them daily or even multiple times per day as the line gets darker. Once the line is at its darkest then that means you need to baby dance 💃🏻 🕺🏻 lol

For your best odds you can baby dance before during and after your peak ovulation. You’ll ovulate within 24 hours of your peak.

Is this the Premom app? I learned a lot from this app! It’s a good one to use.

Also I’m with you, I had my first baby by accident and I’ve been trying for another for over a year now. I’ve figured out how to get pregnant but I keep having losses :(


Good luck to you!!! 🍀

The test line has to be same darkness or darker than the control line in order to be considered your peak. And I see you are currently on cycle day 5 so its still early. Usually women start testing for ovulation around cycle day 8 and later. Also, so you dont be confused, you cant upload the ovulation tests under the pregnancy tests category. You have to upload under the ovulation test category in order to see which one they consider as your peak etc.

When mine are that dark I usually get a positive or peak within a few hours or next day. Too many people get caught up on peak versus positive. Peak is when the test line is darker than the control line. If the test line is as dark as the control line it means positive and you'll ovulate between 36-48 hours. The tricky park is some ovulate earlier than that timeframe. So when it starts to get relatively dark you want to make sure you are getting it on then. lol

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
