Hello everyone, I'm brand new to these boards so please excuse me if I don't use the proper abbreviations or if I'm posting in the wrong place. I apologize in advance.
I'm Crystal, 30 years old. TTC for 2 months now but have been not trying but not preventing for over 2 years. I've always felt when it came time to have a child it would be difficult for me. I've never been pregnant. I will say that I didn't start having sex until later in life but still.....
I have always had very regular very heavy periods in the past but the past few months have been weird. March I had two periods in the same month (beginning and end) and then April it was a very very light period (end of month). In April I had 6 days of positive ovulation stick tests. I don't know if I didn't ovulate or what that is about.... Anyway, I immediately began taking ovulation tests after I finished my cycle so I could be sure to catch it. In April I ovulated (the first day) on cycle day 16. This month I got 3 positive stick tests (all different brands) today which is cycle day 11, but 1 negative digital test. How am I supposed to know which test to trust? The fiance' and I did the deed last night by luck as I didn't think it was really time, I'm glad we did though.
Do you guys think I'm actually ovulating? Do you trust the stick tests over the digital? I'm just having a hard time trusting when I'm supposed to be doing things, ya know? I've been taking my basal temp for the last few weeks but I spike as low at 96 up to over 99. So I don't feel like that's super clear....
Any advice you all have about the ovulation tests and everything would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Crystal
