I read that digitals will have a line no matter what. They don't work the same way as regular line tests. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion you had a chemical. I agree with getting a frer.


A line in addition to the control line? I'm seeing two lines - one dark control line and one second faint line. In any case, I'm going to follow the advice and ditch the digitals! This has been a bit of a roller coaster of emotion.


Digital is less sensitive than wondflos. You're testing too early.

OP, I'm sorry to hear that. Please post an update if you have one in the next few days. And, PP, let us know if you have a girl!

it was a boy! My third boy!

I have decided that DH and I just make boys. So, Shettles didn't work for me!


I'm pregnant w/ #3 after having 2 boys. With this one, we DTD 4-5 days before O (day 8 but I have 26 day cycles) and DH is convinced it's a girl ... I think as much because of Karma as because of Shettles. We're waiting for the birth to find out, though.

OP- get yourself a box of FRERs and ditch the digitals. They are not very sensitive. In two healthy pregnancies, I got BFPs with Wondfos and FRERs at 8 DPO but not on a digital until after I had missed my period (15-16 DPO).

Yay!! I'm the PP with three boys (tried forever for #2 and then got pregnant instantly with #3). I've been watching this thread and thinking good thoughts for you, OP. Hope it's all good news from here on out!

OP here. Happy Thanksgiving! Decided to test this morning because we just couldn't wait. Got a BFP on my internet cheapie but negative on a digital. We're cautiously optimistic!!

PP, I'm so sorry this isn't your month. I couldn't even get my period back until I completely weaned. I hope your body regulates itself soon!

Please come back and update once tww is over!


I definitely will! I'm 8 dpo today so I'll be testing this weekend. In the meantime, I'm just obsessing over my (imaginary) symptoms! And re-reading these lovely anecdotes


36-year-old PP you quoted here. Just got my period today, also 8dpo. Damnit, my luteal phase is still effed after all (I'm still breastfeeding a 12-month-old).

Good luck to you, OP! I will check back here to see your outcome! Journal your symptoms everyday so you have something to compare future months to, if there are any future months that is..

I recently got pregnant and we only had sex on CD 10 and I ovulated on CD 15. Blew my mind. We had a really hard time getting pregnant with our first and had been trying for a second for about 5 months and then decided to take a couple of months off.
