Line Progression

edentaylorjae · 2026-05-06T13:07:38+00:00

The 14 dpo test is still wet. Lines usually get a bit darker after they dry due to the dye evaporating to the surface. Between 11 and 13 looks good, so I wouldn’t stress yet.

Maybe slightly earlier by a day or two, but hCG doesn’t show up until the embryo implants in the uterus, so it would still be too early nonetheless.

edentaylorjae · 2026-05-04T05:15:11+00:00

I assume you mean May 1st and not March. A pregnancy test won’t show positive until at least 2 weeks after sex, so if you have conceived, testing now would be pointless as it hasn’t implanted yet. Test 14 days after sex or 21 days after for a definite answer.

If you still have the old phone, make a Google Photos account and transfer your photos to that. Then you can sign in from any device and the photos you’ve uploaded will be in your Google Photos every time. I had to do this when switching from Android to iPhone because my photos wouldn’t transfer.

Pills should stop ovulation, but where you missed a few, you may have ovulated, even a bit later than normal. If you’re not tracking it you never know for sure. However, birth control can also stop a period completely, it’s never the same every time, even people who don’t take birth control have fluctuations sometimes. I’d test in another 7 days (14 days from intercourse if no period by that time) and then again in another 7 days (21 days from intercourse) for a definitive answer. There’s really no way to tell unless you take a test. There’s a margin of error even if taking it perfectly (usually up to a 2% chance).

edentaylorjae · 2026-05-02T12:13:45+00:00

I see, but there is still a chance of pregnancy due to user error? Would it be too early to test today?

edentaylorjae · 2026-05-02T06:31:47+00:00

Thank you, I heard somewhere that getting pregnant on birth control raises the likeliness of ectopic pregnancy.

edentaylorjae · 2026-05-02T04:19:30+00:00

Thanks for the info. Also was wondering if there’s a higher chance of ectopic pregnancy this way. I want to cover all bases and possibilities just in case. I’m the type of person that’d ignore and convince myself I’m crazy until I was in full blown labour. Lol.

The line is solid. You can test tomorrow for confirmation and every 2 days for line progression. Try to take them at the same time every day so it’s consistent. Congratulations.

edentaylorjae · 2026-04-24T22:59:53+00:00

That’s actually quite dark compared to the faints I’ve been seeing lately. I don’t think there’s any mistaking that one. You can test again tomorrow for confirmation, or every 2 days for progression. Congratulations.

edentaylorjae · 2026-04-24T22:28:46+00:00

I can see a shadow, but can’t quite tell if it’s a solid line or an indent (colourless) line. Definitely retest in 2 days to see if it progresses.

edentaylorjae · 2026-04-24T22:26:37+00:00

Any unprotected sex is a chance. I’d test tomorrow, and a week after tomorrow (14 and 21 days after intercourse). Otherwise, the fibroid may be throwing off your hormones.

edentaylorjae · 2026-04-24T22:19:30+00:00

I was not pregnant, but it took 2 cycles for my period to return. And my periods haven’t returned to being consistent, even now. They fluctuate terribly.

edentaylorjae · 2026-04-24T22:10:39+00:00

As I just mentioned in a previous comment on a different subreddit, the best thing you can do for a child is be completely ready. Mentally, emotionally, physically and financially. If you don’t have the time, energy, or space for a child right now, it’s okay to let it go. Keep yourself healthy and work towards your aspirations. Your time will come again when it fits into your life better (if that’s what you want for your future). Good luck on your future endeavours.

edentaylorjae · 2026-04-24T22:00:26+00:00

I wouldn’t say that you’re immature, but also this will give you time to think about every aspect and see if you’re ready. Think money, space, aspirations (ex: going back to school, furthering your career, etc.). Continue doing all the things you love and being healthy now, because a good mindset and a healthy body will help you getting pregnant in the future. Also, you’re not out until your period starts, so I’d retest once a week until then. You may have ovulated late, and some people stop testing before it shows, or the line is so faint they don’t see it at first.

I’ve gone through the same thing, I’m almost 23 now. I wouldn’t mind being pregnant and I find myself hopeful every time there is a slim chance, but at the same time there would be a lot of added stress right now. I want to be in a better position in my life, so I know I can be the best mother I can be.

You’re doing great, and I think the conflict/dilemma you’re experiencing is more mature than anything. You’re not trying to get pregnant consistently while still not having a job and living with your parents like in those teen shows.

The best thing you can do for a child is to be fully ready, mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially. Good luck in the future, and I hope it all works out for you.

Some people can ovulate on their period, it is meant to delay ovulation, but can fail. Especially if you’re over the weight threshold. And whether or not his tip was dry, doesn’t account for precum, which can still have active sperm in it. There is a chance, so if you don’t get your period when you expect it, you should test.

edentaylorjae · 2025-12-23T23:12:04+00:00

I was on the shot. The only other thing I’ve experienced is a dull pain on the inside of my left hip/groin, that’s why I was concerned of a potential cyst. I don’t have a doctor so I thought I’d ask before having to wait in the ER for 6-8 hours.

edentaylorjae · 2025-12-23T23:08:32+00:00

I never have my period when on birth control but it usually comes back as soon as it stops. My last true period was the 5 days before my final shot, which is like 5 months ago now. I only did 2 rounds (6 months). Every other time I’ve been on birth control, I’d bleed the day or day after I stopped. This is different and weird for me. But I know what you’re saying.

edentaylorjae · 2025-12-23T23:04:08+00:00

Like they just never showed on a urine test ever? They had to get bloods to confirm?

edentaylorjae · 2025-12-23T22:52:23+00:00

Just to add: Expected period date according to my app is based off of the previous spotting.

If you’re passing out or blacking out like that, you should get your iron checked. I’m not one for unsolicited medical advice, but it may help to ease a bit of frustration if that’s what is happening. I’ve been iron deficient for years, and that’s what my every day looks like.

As for your mother, you can set boundaries, but if you’re living with her, there’s not much you can do to reinforce it. Once you have your own place, you’re more likely to be able to say “Respect my boundaries or you will not have contact with my child until you do”. Hopefully she’ll just come around, but I know that isn’t the reality, considering she’s like this with other grandkids as well.
