Pretty sure it’s a real period and not spotting now. CD1, so next attempt likely Oct. 2

It is far and away more likely that is just an evap line. We are getting a lot of these weird ghost lines - it started a couple years ago so we think possibly some change in technology about that time.
I would not put much stock into the idea that you can still get "implantation bleeding" and not a positive test till that late. Spotting that late is not from implantation (though a pregnancy can absolutely work out even with some early spotting) and 99.99% of people will get a positive test by 13 DPO. I think that guideline is meant to help people who may have ovulated later than they think and not someone who actually knows when they ovulated with a fair bit of certainty.

This also makes sense to me. FX and TX too!

I have the digital and rapid FR tests at home, but we are at the beach until Thursday, which would be 16 DPO. My Premom app is predicting my period to start tomorrow at 14 DPO.

That would all but certainly be not pregnant, then. A faint line is, the past couple years, most likely to be one of those stupid ghost lines.

1 month before TTC check-in
2nd month attempt: DH tested + for COVID 6 days ago (Tuesday), so of course, I got a + OPK Friday, while he was still in isolation. We tried anyway, but he couldn’t release. Zoloft makes that a little more difficult anyway, but apparently COVID also makes ejaculation difficult. Anyway, we tried 3x with no release between Friday and Saturday & he was so tired and didn’t think it was going to happen yesterday, so we didn’t try then. He came out of isolation today (Monday), and we tried tonight & finally got a release. My Premom app says I am 1 DPO today. My LH started coming down yesterday after a peak on Saturday night (about 48 hrs prior to this attempt).
Today is also CD 21. I think my cycles are naturally about 32-34 days. Last month was my first month off my IUD, but I think my body is going back to what was normal for me. Point being, I think DH was releasing on his own/with me with a condom daily prior to getting sick with COVID, but he hadn’t released for several days prior to our attempt tonight. Obviously there’s nothing we can do to change the past. I know you say 1 attempt is best for a girl & we’ve done that. Hopefully 1 DPO is still enough to conceive this month. Hopefully the COVID factor & lack of releases immediately prior to our attempt doesn’t do something to mess it up.
Now on to the TWW. I will not be testing early this time. That was too much last month.

Oh gosh so sorry to hear that!!! Hope he gets through easily!
The releasing doesn't matter. It really adds little to nothing and it's VERY likely that his illness plus overall suppressed sex drive due to both Covid and Zoloft would have done everything that the release did and then some. The Premom apps are really not reliable, and you can't tell from your OPK strips getting lighter or darker if O has happened. So let's hope it was more like O Day as the day after O can be too late for conception.
Let me know how you're getting along and if you have any questions!

Hey, thanks Atomic for your reassuring message. I’m feeling a little better health wise although the thrush medication wasn’t helpful at all, I think it actually made things worse…?! Of more...
