Do we trust first response?

Top FR from yesterday, bottom 3 tests (all same pee) from this morning. Period due today, no idea of dpo as was not tracking. Have not used the dark cap FR before. The clear blue is one of the ultra early ones but I don’t think there is anything there. 😬

Pregnant or Trigger

I had my trigger injection on the 19th April and my FET on 26th April. I couldn’t help myself and did a test this morning, which was quite a clear positive. I am wondering if this could still be from the trigger injection, as I haven’t “tested it out”. I’m currently 6dp5dt.

Ovulation

I'm on my third cycle using ovulation tests and I still haven't had any positive results. I don't even get a t/c ratio reading. I'm really starting to worry that my body isn't ovulating. I'm 32 and close to panic mode. Any advice or next steps?

Anyone who has done similarly what was the biggest difference between the first time around and the 2nd for your transfer process? I feel like it was all so rushed last...

Clear blue pregnancy test

Has anyone used the Clearblue date check test and been further along than what the test states? For example 2-3 weeks on the test means you are 4-5 weeks pregnant. I done a test last week which said I am around 4-5 weeks pregnant but I honestly feel like the dates with my last period and my current symptoms are...
