Today is 14 DPO. I got a BFN . So now just waiting for AF to start, or some miracle that maybe I could test late.
I'm curious though if anyone who has gotten a BFP in the past had better luck with certain brands. Previous cycles I was using target off brand. This time I had ClearBlue (got a box on sale otherwise I normally wouldn't spend that much) but they weren't the ones with the lines, it was the one that read Pregnant or NOT Pregnant. Do you think the ones with words are stronger? Meaning you need to be so far along before it picks up? I've seen posts on here where girls get that faint line so now I wonder if I should try the line ones instead.
Different brands have different sensitivities. Order a pack of wondfos for next cycle and if AF doesn't show, just POAS a stick again 16DPO. How many months off BCP are you?
Have you been off BCP for a while or just recently? (By recently I mean in the last 4-5 months.
If its been less then 4-5 months it may just be your cycles trying to regulate itself. When I went off BCP I had "regular" to me cycles for about 4 or 5 months and then all of a sudden I had one 90 something day cycle and then after being jump started I had a 40 day cycle which was again regulated with medication. Every since then my cycles have been any where from 33-45 day cycles. (slowly starting to get closer to "regular" for me, with 33-37 day cycles now.)
I've heard that the blue dye ones (Clear Blue) are prone to false positives. Each test lists the hcg levels detected. Your best bet would be with First Response.
This was my 3rd round of clomid - so nothing to do with going off the pill. Based off my temping I O'd on day 18. So we'll see. I have had a lot of signs making me think this cycle would be it, but it could just be me getting my hopes or, or AF coming. I also have a couple dollar tree tests but having to peeand then use the dropper is annoying so would rather use the others.
If AF doesn't show up tomorrow I'll test again thursday which will be 16 dpo. My temp is still high but who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Is FRER First Response? If AF doesn't come tomorrow I'll go buy something at the store. Is FR good or should I try Target brand? I had no idea about the blue-dye. Good to know!

Are you being monitored while you are on Clomid? That's some serious stuff, and you should have had ultrasounds and bloodwork done while on it so you would know when and if you ovulated.
