Clearblue or Premom more reliable ?

I’m 8dpo and took Premom strip tests this morning at 8am and was negative. Took a clearblue early result at 10am that was negative too then I took another Premom at 1:30pm and it had a line on it then tooo another to double check and it also has a line (in the picture attached). But to go from absolutely negative this morning on both early clearblue and Premom to then I think quite noticeable lines only a few hours later is odd. What do I trust ?

Tests shouldn't be checked and are no longer accurate after the 5-10 mins indicated in the instructions. Because after this time evaporation lines can show up. They are less likely on a pink dye test but if youre getting a line hours after the test originally being negative it is most likely an evaporation line.

I haven't used premom but personally don't trust clear blue because theyre very well known for their evap lines and ive heard lots of ladies think theyre positive only to find out it was a false line.

No sorry I meant that I took these tests hours after getting a negative this morning at 8 sorry if I explained that poorly. Both of these tests were within 10 minutes. Top test was around 8 minutes after I took it and bottom one was only 4 minutes. But my Premom strip test this morning was entirely negative followed by a negative clearblue also. When I retested 3.5 hours later with new Premom tests they showed up positive in the timeframe. (Hope this explains better!)

The only way to tell is to wait a bit and test tomorrow or the next day hun.
You're still so early post ovulation, realistically your best bet is first thing in the morning because then your pee is most concentrated. You'll drive yourself mad if you keep testing so much, as hard as it is to not test all the time xx

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
