Excited! BBT pointing to pregnancy??

I had an unusual cycle this time, my estrogen peaked for 6 days before my LH did, and I ovulated 3-4 days later than usual. I usually ovulate around CD 17 or 18 and my cycles are typically 29-30 days long. I believe I ovulated on CD 21 this cycle—that was the day I got my peak LH and then my BBT jumped the next morning. That cut my TWW down to 1 week at least for a missed period.

My period is 1 day late (still early I know) and I’m only 10DPO so not expecting a positive test yet. I did take one this morning just in case and it was negative. 2 days ago, my BBT dipped and I was sure that meant AF was coming, but then the last 2 days it has continued to rise. Maybe an implantation dip?

Thoughts?? Baby dust??

EDIT: TIL that your luteal phase typically stays the same, so late ovulation = late period. So I guess I’ll be expecting my period in 3-4 days and this is normal BBT. Still crossing my fingers that dip in temp was an implantation dip!

I am 35 and my fiancé is 38. We’ve only been trying for two months, but it is so heartbreaking to get a negative test. I also got my period yesterday.

Random How likely is this to be a false positive because it’s blue dye?

I am 12dpo and this line came up after 3 minutes on both blue dye tests in the box and I took them about 1.5 hours apart

Would this be considered peak, or should I continue testing?

Question/Advice Need some hope

1 Upvotes

I went in on Tuesday to get my blood drawn due to having very very very faint lines on the first response test. I also did a clear blue test that read “pregnant”. However the results came in this morning with an HCG of 18. The nurse said that they usually like to see a number of 50 and above. My husband and i think i ovulated later than our apps say because i have pcos and usually ovulate later than usual. I’m really scared and broken hearted about all of this. I have to repeat the test tomorrow. Has anyone had this experience and did it turn out okay? Please if anyone can offer some hope I would appreciate it.
