Okay, I'm not good at the abbreviations since this is my first time actually trying to conceive (my first pregnancy was a pleasant surprise). So here goes! I do have irregular periods and it's been...a few months since my last period. My husband and I decided we wanted another child and started trying for our second. We were in Dollar Tree and I saw the ovulation test kits and thought: "Why not?" So there goes my first ovulation test....went home and took the test (it was a long shopping day and I did hold my urine in for a good couple of hours). It came out negative. I talked to the husband about getting a Clearblue Advanced Ovulating Kit and he agreed it would be a good idea...so we got the kit with 10 tests. A day after taking the Dollar Tree one, I took the Clearblue Advanced one and it came out negative. It would be a long story if I keep typing in this format so I will shorten it up a bit.
Day 1: Dollar Tree Brand - NEGATIVE
Day 2: CB Adv. Brand - NEGATIVE
Day 3: CB Adv. Brand - PEAK FERTILITY (Solid Happy Face - peak fertility carried on through day 5, continued having intercourse)
Day 5: (Out of curiosity) CB Adv. Brand - NEGATIVE (I did not do much research and thought that if I did conceive, my body would still have a surge of LH but after research I found out that was not the case. But with that thought, I thought it should still be positive so...)
Day 6: CB Adv. Brand - NEGATIVE
With my lack of knowledge, I thought it should be positive if I were pregnant, so I went and bought more Dollar Tree ones and Answer from Walmart. Dollar Tree one came out POSITIVE (test line super dark) and I did not take the Answer one yet.
Day 7: (TODAY) CB Adv. Brand - HIGH FERTILITY (blinking smiley face)
Dollar Tree - POSITIVE (Test line way darker than other line)
Answer - POSITIVE (Test line way darker than other line as well)
So....did I just start ovulating? Is my body doing that thing where it's not releasing the egg due to stress, etc. and now it's trying again? When I looked at the charts for the Clearblue, it goes from low fertility to high fertility to peak fertility. I went from low to peak (2 days) to low (2 days)to high so that's why I got the secondary tests to confirm if I was ovulating or not...During this time period my breasts have been feeling exceptionally heavy as well. Oh and before it's asked, it's impossible for a pregnancy test to be positive if I were pregnant because it would be too soon (and impatient me did take a few during this time period too in case it was from earlier on but they were negative.) Thoughts on this?

My CM is like an egg white consistency and yesterday after BDing, I did notice some spotting after I wiped and this morning I'm getting some bad cramps. Not sure if it's AF or something else. For the heck of it, I took the OPKs (all three of them) and got BFPs for all of them. Got me excited and I wasted a pregnancy test, BFN. Because of the spotting, if AF doesn't show up today then...I'll try another pregnancy test in a week.
