Got a squint to see it faint line. Today temperature dropped to below cover line but I had a test left. It's darker today, no squinting to see it. Am I wrong to get my hopes up with the temperature drop. So confused!

She then gave me another test and told me 'if it comes back positive in the morning give me a ring tomorrow but these are very sensitive tests you know.' She then asked me was the one I used in date. Not quite the reassuring visit I hoped for. Anyway, me being me, I went and forked out for clearblue digital and the result pregnant came up in about a minute and a half and pregnant 1-2 came up very shortly after.

ILoveToast wrote: » Hi all I'm feeling slightly annoyed, after losing our son last year we have now started to try again. I have used the ovulation tests the last 2 months. Now, the problem is that I'm ovulation way too early, last month it was 11 days after the first day of my period, this month it was 9 days! I read up a bit about it and this seems to be an issue. The normal range seem to vary between 10-18 days, so anything before 10 days might cause a problem. Have anyone had any similar experiences? I'm just feeling so frustrated at this stage, even though I know 2 months of trying is not long, but after losing our son I just want to get pregnant straight away....

Its not actually the ovulation itself that the test shows, its the pre-ovulation hormones to remind you to get jiggy in the next few days. For example, on my lucky cycle, I got ovulation pain on the Monday on the left side. I was annoyed as I thought the Clomid had messed things up, and that on my scheduled scan I'd be told we missed ovulation. On Wednesday morning I got my internal scan which showed 2 mature and 1 slightly immature follicles, so we got the go ahead to take the trigger shot to induce ovulation that evening. When I mentioned the pain to the nurse, she explained the pain is not the egg being released, but the follicles growing.Between Thursday afternoon and before midnight on Friday that week was our "window" for the egg to be present, and exactly 14 days after I took that trigger shot, I tested positive. So, even though I got the pain on the Monday, it was Friday before the eggs were there to be fertilised. Had I been testing with OPK's I probably would have had my LH surge Tuesday/Wednesday. But looking back at my diary, I usually got that pain around days 9-11 and a positive OPK then too. My cycles were short - averaging 26 days, so I had a very short pre-ovulation time frame.

So in that case it might not be as bad as I thought I'm just trying to keep track of everything now, just in case I don't get pregnant in the next few months. I also get quite bad pains when I'm ovulating, so I don't even think i need to keep using them.
