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.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period
