Ovulating early after 7 day abstain - stick with 1 attempt?!

[Northernsparkle]

Ah, yes, that's really quite faint isn't it? But with diluted urine, it can happen so I'd still operate under the assumption you are pregnant, no drinking and such, but I'd not have my hopes very high unless you get a darker one within the next few days. Otherwise operate under the assumption that this will be a normal cycle - in other words, hope for the best, prepare for the "worst" (which is simply that you'll O again soon and try to catch that egg!)

Thanks I’ll sit tight for a week or so then pee on both types of stick and hopefully get a positive of one type or the other so it’s all good [emoji4]

Hi Atomic, sorry to keep adding to this thread but I’m so confused! I’m still getting the squinters that I had from about 11dpo last cycle right through af and I’m now on CD8 of this cycle. I know I’m not pregnant as the lines are staying super faint so decided to start my opks early this month mainly to pass the days away whilst waiting for my next attempt!
Yesterday was the blank circle as expected but today was a flashing smiley! Im presuming I won’t ovulate until the pregnancy tests are completely BFN but confused as to why my estrogen would be rising. I usually only get 2 days max of high fertility before I get the solid smiley. If that happens then ovulation would be even earlier than last month and around CD11. Is it possible to ovulate and conceive successfully with a tiny amount of hcg left over from a chemical? DH was due to be away for the weekend as I thought I would be way off ovulating but now I’m panicking that it might actually happen and I need him home lol.
I had clomid for month 1 and 2 of ttc but couldn’t get any more so the CP was the month following clomid and I was kind of wondering if there would be any swaying power left over this month too which is why I’m so desperate for this month to work but I realise I’m probably clutching at straws!
Sorry for the rambling post and any light you could shed would be much appreciated [emoji4]

No not at all that's what I'm here for.

Do you think the pregnancy tests could be faulty? That has happened rarely where a batch of tests will have a really major indent/ghost line and then peopel are really confused by them.

I know it's an irritating answer but the only thing to really do is wait and see. What I'd have you guys do is attempt right before he leaves, then attempt when he gets back. That will cover you in case you do ovulate.

There can potentially be some sway power left over from the Clomid so I'd def. be in with attempts! FXFXFX!

I thought maybe they were indents but these latest ones are from a different shop and one was a clear blue. You are right though only time will tell! I guess what I’m concerned about deep down is that maybe when I had my period that not everything came out and there’s something that’s keeping the hcg lingering that will stop things getting back to normal.
Will have attempt Friday and Monday and try and fill the weekend with something more constructive than over analysing tests, maybe even some house work whilst the messiest boy of all is away lol!
Thanks for your support and I’m glad you agree about the clomid. I’m very hopeful this month, a spring baby would be lovely [emoji3]

That may be true or it may be that your body has just taken its time clearing out the HCG. I have seen people go from fairly high HCG levels (they were doing blood tests) to ovulation in a few days' time so it is possible for you to drop suddenly and O in pretty short order in this scenario, so don't hesitate to try!

Hi Atomic, well you were so right!! We had an attempt this morning as dh decided not to go last night then got my positive opk this afternoon :-)
So that’s one attempt as last time was Tuesday, cycle following a CP, hopefully some residual effect from the clomid, dh on prednisone and 5 months on LE diet! I will be over the moon if we get a BFP this month and can officially post my sway!
Thanks again for your support and knowledge through my panicking this month :-)
