What's It To You?·
Digital tests require more hcg

I took a cheapie on yesterday and it was also negative. Is it possible that maybe I ovulated later than I thought or something?
What's It To You?··
@mamallama2317 that's always a possibility

I’m hoping that might be the reasoning 🤞🏻

I'm in the same boat. My period is 3days late and no positive. I have a feeling it's just the changing of the seasons for me

It’s so annoying! I’m super irregular so honestly AF being late isn’t really a big sign for me but it makes me hopeful I guess
Mandy··
@mamallama2317 good luck! I'm really regular but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Stress can also throw your monthly off.

I’ve been trying to keep my stress level down but I guess I’m stressing and not even realizing it most of the time 😅

@mamallama2317 Well, you certainly have many valid reasons to feel stressed. But, it's ok. There are tests you can use as mentioned below and you can also learn to do manual self checks for cervical positions. Watch your vaginal discharge also. Look up cervical mucus and you'll know what I am talking about. 🙂

Are you tracking your ovulation, too? If your cycles are irregular, I always suggest using OPKs to track the lh surge. Digitals work best, in my opinion. Clearblue makes an awesome digital kit.

I have been using OPK but my last strip that I used was March 23. I had a positive on the 17 and then a more faint positive on the 18 and missed a few days and then did one on the 23 and it was negative and I just completely forgot to do any after that

@mamallama2317 no such thing as a faint positive with OPKs. If both lines are dark then that's a positive. If the test line isn't as dark as or darker than the control, its negative. Once you get your 2 dark lines you need to stop testing, so you don't confuse yourself. I would definitely recommend the digitals. I used them for my first 2 pregnancies and they are very reliable.

@mississippi.queen, well that makes me feel dumb 🤦🏻♀️😂 I really do need to give the digitals a try because I hate the strips!

My chart was allllll over the place tho like I’ve had 3 different positives like 1-2 weeks apart so idk when I actually ovulated

Also! Look up WebMd ovulation predictor. Really great tool for charting your monthly and getting an estimate for when you are expected to ovulate, menstruate, and it can help you calculate your actual cycle length.

I’ll go look that up right now! Thank you!!
