Yesterday I used a dollar store one and an equate + or - one. I only have on frer left and I'm too nervous to use it.
I didn't temp or use OPK's. I just kind of guessed based off of what I read about ovulation. I'm assuming I O regularly because I'm in my early twenties and have never had any issues with not getting AF or a cyst or anything.
I was reading that a woman can start off with a non-pregnant Hcg level of 1-5 and that it doubles every 48 or so hours after implantation. So assuming that's accurate if a woman had like a 3 for starters and implantation happened 9dpo she wouldn't even get an hpt to register positive until 13-15 dpo right? If her starting level was even lower at like a 1 or 2 (apparently that's also normal) at 15dpo she would only have an hcg level of 8 or 16.
I want to know how common it is for a woman's hcg levels to be lower than 5 before she is pregnant. I'm not necessarily grabbing for straws but if this is true it's enough to convince me never to test early again.

Since you haven't used a FRER, I do think you still have a decent chance. Although, without knowing when you Oed, you can't be sure your timing was right, or maybe you Oed later than you think.
I agree you're probably Oing since you're young and have regular AFs. But I strongly recommend temping if you get AF and start swaying pink the GD way, as swaying can mess with your cycle and only temping can accurately confirm/determine O, outside of a Dr's visit.

This is the longest I've ever had a cycle.

My cycle has gone totally crazy since I started swaying. It's normal! Try not to stress about it.
