That's why I always buy digital tests. Especially if you're testing early the line will be really really faint. If you want to wait a while then take the test again to see if the line is darker, or you can go out and buy a test that will be more clear. i.e. an electronic one. ↑

I don't know, I had a dot on a test before and it was a negative. Dots or half lines don't really count. It might be an evap line. I am not really sure, you should go get another test maybe a better one or a digital to make sure. ↑

Name: AddysMummy | Date: May 11th, 2008 3:34 PM
But I have known people who had a light dot or slight line and they did happen to be pregnant. I think it is different with everyone and you should just wait until AF ↑

Are you sure you're charting accurately? 16dpo is a LONG luteal phase. ↑
Name: PreciousBaby19 | Date: May 12th, 2008 1:00 PM
yep im charting right i ovulated on cd 11 and usually have a 26-28 day cycle, i thought it was normal to ovulate beween cd10 and 16? ↑
Name: Teddyfinch | Date: May 13th, 2008 12:33 AM
ovulation (from what i've read in a really good bood) can be anywhere (during a normal cycle) from 8 to 16 days. ↑
Name: Teddyfinch | Date: May 13th, 2008 12:34 AM
oh, and angel, lol i was trying for a total of 7 years. the first four weren't important, but yeah lol. i'm going to start saying 3 years from now on cuz i only care about my hubby now. but yeah 8 months is featherweight lol. ↑
Name: AddysMummy | Date: May 13th, 2008 1:32 AM
When I was on the phone with my friend, Kelly, I mentioned how for some odd reason parts of my body seemed warmer than others. I took my temp and it was higher than usual. She said, "I think you should take a pregnancy test." I had been wanting to but I didn't know for fact if I should I usually gave my period a 2 day wait, 2 days early 2 days late. Well I went with my instinct, tested, and I got a positive. You should maybe wait, see if AF comes if not test again in a few days with cheapos! ↑
Name: angelmonkey | Date: May 13th, 2008 4:35 AM
well.....................af came right on time!! first thing thismorning!! i even cried for 5miniutes!! i havnt cried about getting af before i,ve always thought well theres next month but know the tears came flooding out to day lol!! i think its because my brother rang me last night and told me he got his gf pregnant and there both 16 and keeping it.... im going to try extra hard next months like we,ve decided to have sex everyother day so there,s a constant supply but if that doesnt work i give up! if it happens it happens because i,ve figured out know matter how much you try and have sex at the right time time its still not going to happen, i dont understand if there is an egg and a sperm why doesnt it happen lol!! i know its not as simple as that lol!! wow teddy 7years is a long time i bet it felt great when youi got a bfp! lol! ↑
Name: Teddyfinch | Date: May 13th, 2008 5:06 AM
lol it did feel good. but i will tell you this. look at it this way (i like the positive side of things). at least you know your period is right on time, so nice and regular and you get another chance after it's done. i mean only like 2 weeks and you get to be trying again! see i couldn't get my period without provera, so it was impossible for me to try and time it. ↑
Name: angelmonkey | Date: May 13th, 2008 5:14 AM
yeh i supose that makes it easier but i know it sounds stupid but i,d rather have a reason why its not happening because everything seems fine i know exactly when im going to come on my partner has a good sperm count i,ve had blood test and scans and everything seems fne th the doc even said i have a nice womb lol................and i defo O because when i has my scan he told me i was O,ing not sure how he knew that but meh he did.......................i just dont know why its not happening and its frustrateing..imean i,d rather has a reason ↑
Name: Teddyfinch | Date: May 13th, 2008 5:27 AM
no trust me, you wouldn't want a reason to not have a period. i mean other than pregnancy, but it's insanely depressing when you have pcos, but no actual cysts and never ovulate and can't try on your own even if you want to. are you charting? because maybe you just aren't catching it at the right time. snack break! baby wants raisin bran. ↑
Name: angelmonkey | Date: May 13th, 2008 5:33 AM
yeh i chart my bbt and i know when i O because i get horrible pains............i had the implonon in my arm for a year and a half and it messed my periods up i,ve had it taken out for about a year now and because my periods didnt regulate for a while after they suspected pcos thats why i had a scan but everyhing was fine i was thinking maybe it messed with my fertility? not sure.....i supose im kucky having normal periods ect but each time i get my period i think there must be something wrong!! but i just dont know what to do anymore!! i know to some people 8months id nothing but when you hear of people conceiving the first month ect it makes you think theres something wrong with you!! ↑
Name: Teddyfinch | Date: May 13th, 2008 5:42 AM
true, but i really don't think anything is wrong. it just isn't the right time is all. and it's kind of funny when the right time is chosen lol. for me and dh it was right after he lost his job. how often are you doing it? and are you doing it starting the day you o? or the day before? that might be part of it. ↑
Name: angelmonkey | Date: May 13th, 2008 5:52 AM
well we try and do it most days as soon as i come off and then do it lots until cd16ish and then kinda slow down a bit.......................what i dont about it not being the right time ect is if there are 12 year olds 13,14,15,16 year olds that get pregnant how is the right time for them!! i,ve heard of people trying and trying then giving up and it happens!! my mum tried for my 8year old brother for 3years then she gave up and conceived within 3months.............i just dont know how to give up!!! i can try but i know that as soon as cd10-16 comes i,ll be having sex for 1 reason!! ↑
Name: Teddyfinch | Date: May 13th, 2008 6:10 AM
yeah it is annoying that kids who seem to not need to be having kids are having them, but i had that attitude too and it wasn't until i dropped my feelings towards those younger kids that we did it. relaxing really was the key for me. and they say if you do it the day of ovulation and then every other day for like a week, you should catch the right time. ↑
Name: angelmonkey | Date: May 13th, 2008 6:14 AM
im pretty sure i,ve been catching the right time but its just not happening, but this is going to be my ninth month and i plan on doing it every other day! it just baffles me that if theres an eggy and sperm what the hell goes wrong that it doesnt fertilize lol! well guna give it one last try and then try to stop trying so hard lol! ↑
Name: amanda17 | Date: May 13th, 2008 1:00 PM
Stress plays a HUGE factor in trying to conceive, that's usually why you hear people getting pregnant on accident within months, but then people trying years to conceive and not getting anywhere. They just want it too much. From personal experience, the times you get pregnant are the times you have the most fun during sex. I wouldn't know, but I would assume that charting when to have sex isn't the greatest helper in the romance department. Just have fun with it and don't think too much. Also, I hear that if your partner drinks coffee or energy drinks he'll get like super sperm lol. ↑
Name: amanda17 | Date: May 13th, 2008 1:41 PM
Whereas smoking and drinking will decrease the chances of the sperm finding the egg. You said he's a smoker, yeah? ↑
Name: angelmonkey | Date: May 13th, 2008 4:26 PM
yeh he is a smoker he was on like 20 a day but has stoppedto like 3 a day, i,ve given up! yey! lol, he also has a coffee in the morning,i also heard that but i also heard it can cause problems for sperm?? it probaly the stressing! i mean once you decide youwant a child its hard to not try and have sex at the right times lol, itsrealy hard to just have unprotected sex lol.............but yeh its not good for the romance sex isnt that good when i know im ovulated because i know im doing it because im ovulating lol but it always seem that when i,ve finished O,ing we have great sex lol!! i tried a couple months ago to forget about it but i cant help but make myself want to have sex when i know ovulation is close lol, ttc is a vicious circle lol!! ↑
Name: angelmonkey | Date: May 13th, 2008 4:29 PM
also for the first 4months of ttc i didnt chart or anything and was like it will happen when it happens, but then i got impatient lol im an impatient person i just cant help it, even though its not doing me any favours ↑
Name: amanda17 | Date: May 13th, 2008 6:10 PM
My fiancee never drinks or smokes, he's a coffee junkie, and he hates hot showers/baths... he only takes cold ones (he's crazy, I can't stand cold water) so he has like super charged sperm lol. My sister jokes about that all the time because even with protection we got pregnant within like six months. ↑
Name: angelmonkey | Date: May 13th, 2008 6:30 PM
haha ilike really hot baths and if my boyfriend gets in with me he stands up for like half hour crying like a girl that its way to hot! so i now have my bath get out and he gets in half hour later and still stands there moaning that its to hot haha! i dont see why he doesnt bath in his own clean water lol! he,s just to lazy i think lol! wow i could never have a cold shower not even on a hot day! well. my bf does drink but only now and then like if we go to a bbq or wedding ect but he never gets drunk, i might make him drink more coffee and see how that works lol! ↑
