I am so sick of POAS!!!

Well Clear Blue test friggin' suck. Grr.... I got two very clear blue positives. Then I took one and nothing came up not even the control line. Then one was a half of a plus sign. I wish I could get my damn money back. I read horrible reviews for the test after I spent money on them. Does anyone know how well those dollar store tests work? I read they test for 20 and thats really good. Anyways. I don't know if I am pregnant or not. No period since Aug. 6th. very little little spotting in between. I am Cramping and gassy. Does anyone know if you can get pregnant right before your period comes??Like days before?

You can only get pregnant during ovulation,which happens roughly 14 days before your period is due.if you have already had 2 positives,then sounds promising,obviously you had a bad batch of tests.why dont you stop wasteing money and buy clear blue digital,no messing there simple yes or no.good luck.

We don't all ovulate at the 14 day before period is due mark. Some women ovulate soon after period and some soon before. I know that many ppl believe that the 14 day mark is "the key time" but does not apply to all ppl.

I tested with a dollar store test when I was late with this preg and it was a clear neg. When I used the digital test, it was an obvious pos. I do not use any line tests anymore as I hate the whole situation of figuring out whether or not the line is visible.

Actually it is the roughly 14 days before your period.you can ovulate soon after your period this is governed by your cycle length.ie if you have a 24 day cycle then you would be ovulating roughly cd10 which is few days from day of cycle.your luteal phase is 14-16 days.give or take.what your referring to is people saying they ovulate 14 after start of period this is untrue.

If you were to ovulate soon before your period ie talking few days,then conception would be impossible,at least  a 12 day luteal phase is needed to help with conception.

I know I got pregnant last time right after my period ended. I remember having unprotected sex and say omg I think I feel myself ovulation so I took a ovulation test and it said I was...A couple weeks later I was really dizzy and my boobs hurt and I went to the hospital for the dizziness and they did a pregnancy test that was a fast positive..I got an ultra sound that confirmed the baby was concived right after my period ended. I usually have a 30 to 35 day cycle. so were does that put my ovulation at?? I also think I ovulate more then once in a  cyle.

[tarajanes]

periods can change every month,there is no clock  work cycle.With a 30-35 day cycle this would put ovulation around cd16 or there abouts. on a 35 day cycle cd21 there abouts.just subtract 14 days from when you would be due,and start bedding.it will help you if you were to chart,as well as using ovulation tests,the tests will say your about to O.where the charting will confirm O.

Also its not possible to ovulate more than once during your cycle.what women tend to feel is ovulation occuring in fact its your ovarys gearing up to release,if you think about it.then if a woman ovulates 2 times in a cycle and the egg was fertilized both times,you would be having 2 babies at completely different times,ie weeks apart.you can produce more than one egg at a time produceing fraternal twins .but this is in a 24 hour period.there are certain scienetists who have done studys in canada showing possible,but have now retracted this as misleading.and there is no other scientific eveidence that will suggest otherwise.if you are convinced you are pregnant,then seek a blood test or just take a digital.been following your threads,you must be going potty.Really hope you get the answer you want :)

My mum swears she ovulated days before AF arrived, i'm still ttc at this time for my first and i have all the "pregnancy symptoms" i hear on this site all the time and this is now my 25th month of ttc.  I was at the docs also today and was told i have to have blood work done again because the docs can't be bothered checking my file for the last results.

I have 2 days until AF arrives, i'm cramping and my boobs are so sore and sensitive good luck i hope you get your BFP soon!!

[luvmybabes]

my doctor must not know what he's talking about then. He told me he think I ovulate more then once a month. I was thinking if i ovulated at the beggining of the month and got pregnant then I wouldnt ovulate again at the end because the pregnancy hormone would prevent another egg from falling like it usually does. My doctor told me he had a patient that ovualted more then once and one baby was a tubal and the other one was healthy and in her growing normally in her belly. and they were different fetal ages. I don't know maybe he's making up stories  lol

[tarajanes]

Lol,show me a doctor who knows what he is talking about.trust me after 7 losses and a 16 year old.ive asked and researched every possible thing.what your thinking is correct.um well there are stranger things that have happened.but no it wouldnt happen twice.

[SliverCheer]

I'd definitely get some blood work done, its weird your getting such conflicting results. I would try a digital and make an appointment. There are free clinics that do testing and ultrasounds too.

[tarajanes]

Fingers crossed for you.your mum probably did ovulate before she got her af,this means a short luteal phase.

Been following your posts,sending you lots of baby dust hope you get your positive..
