You got hcg 16 @ 16 dpo?...

Where's your chart?

Usually they put an ovulation line for you based on your symptoms and then they want you to set up ovulation line as well for when you think you ovulated. So I usually wait for their line and then set up the same date they think I ovulated if I agree with it and get just one line. They aren't super correct with ovulation on this site...so I wouldn't take it too seriously. Fertility friend is way more accurate.

It's when you kind of see a positive line but only when you click "invert" on the picture of the test here.

I learned that you just need to compare tests. I had two cycles with one test showing some sort of faint positive and when I took other brands tests they were all negative and I got my AF.

This cycle, after 13 months of trying....I was looking for more than one type of test to be faint positive so I would have a reason to get the real tests, like First Response. So I did OPKs and did 2 different preggo tests. OPK got color progression, 1 HPT was super faint and one HPT was completely negative. My temp was still high...so I did the math and went to get more tests and they all got positives!!! :)

So I would say to look for more positive glowing tests and for other signs. If there is more than one positive HPT and you have another sign then I say you have a chance of being pregnant, otherwise forget about it. If just one test if glowing...it's probably nothing.

What method are you planning on using?

I have a friend who had an ectpic. She now has a daughter and another daughter on the way! Took her total 2 years with the first one because she got one miscarriage and then ectpic the third pregnancy is was older daughter who is now 2.5 years old.

14 DPO, so that would make me 4 weeks pregnant. Did a blood draw today the HCG was 35, so pretty low but I'm sure it's growing great because when I came home I did the tests again and everything got darker.

I use those too. I don't donthe 3 hours hold. I think it says 1.5 hours of hold is ok too and you can also use first morning urine but make sure to test again that day if it's negative. You deep them for 3 seconds.

Mine get wide test lines right before getting positive so I know it's coming and test a few times that day and the next. I have pictures of a positive one on my profile if you want to see.

Checking your cm is your natural opk and it's absolutely free too :) it should become slippery with egg white consistency a few days before ovulation.

I wish for you to have this cycle not 27 days but 9 months with a baby at the end! Good luck girl!

I realize this comes a week after you posted...but I think it's great you didn't BD the night of your positive OPK especially since your husband has some "swimmers" issues. The next night would have been your most important one so it's good to abstain at least for one day. That's what that book recommends.
