So I have long and irregular cycles, and it has been hard to accurately track ovulation for me.

My husband and I are about a year and a half in to TTC our first baby.

A few weeks ago after we were intimate (a few days after) I noticed some light spotting when I wiped, just once or twice but no period. So I waited and took a pregnancy test hoping it was implantation.

I took the pregnancy test 2 weeks after the potential conception. Negative pregnancy test.

So I was a little bummed, but I figured there might still be a chance, or maybe I hadn’t even ovulated yet.

A few days ago on a whim I took an ovulation test. Came back blazing positive. And it has given the same result, no matter the time of day, or how long since I last went to the bathroom, for 3 days now.

Typically my period would be right around the corner, or I would have to take Provera after 8 weeks with no period.

My nipples are crazy tender, I’m emotional, and I’ve been having the most vivid dreams of my life. The other day the smell of peanut butter made me nauseous, and he’s one of my favorite foods. I know that OPKs will also be positive if you are pregnant.

I am reluctant to take a pregnancy test because we only have 1 and I don’t want to go out to the store right now (I’m severely asthmatic and super anxious about the virus). I also just don’t want to see the negative results. This is the first month I’ve felt hopeful in a long time.

I would love any opinions/ advice. Do you think I’m actually ovulating or do you think my HCG could be causing the positive ovulation test?
