Is it possible to ovulate 5 days before your period is supposed to start? That might sound like a dumb question, sorry. I am thinking yes it is. As far as the faint line, it was blue, like the other line, just very, very faint. It did get darker, actually, after several hours. But I didn't think anything of it, because after 10 minutes they are "no longer accurate". I took another test from the same package (was a pack of 2), and basically the same thing happened. Except this time, the blue didn't form a line, it was just in a corner kind of like a blob. When I showed it to my husband a few hours later, it had formed a line. So I am thinking the tests were bad or something. I am taking another test tomorrow morning, different brand.

I have not made a doctor appointment yet. I don't have insurance currently :/ My husband is 1 week from being done with his clincal, and he has had TONS of job prospects calling him. I feel like his secretary, because every day, I get at least 5 phone calls for him...hehe. Anyway, I could visit Planned Parenthood if I need to in the meantime. We should have insurance very soon.

The pain felt like ovulation pain. It's a sharp pain. I have never felt implantation pain, so I don't know if I can compare it to that. There was a little blood today, though, like I said. I am cramping a little, but that could be because I am due to start my period in 4 days. I guess I will find out more tomorrow when I take another test. Thanks, Little!

I felt no implantation pain either time, but I don't feel ovulation either so I might not have been looking for it (and I don't even know if #1 implanted correctly.)
See how far in the future your PP will make appointments, maybe make one 5 days after you're due. By then you should have an accurate test under your belt. If it's positive and you want to check up on that extra pain, ultrasound may be the key and in that case, you'll have to wait another 2 weeks or so before they can "see anything" (I was told at 6 weeks they can see stuff, maybe with different equipment they can see better.)
I think it's possible you can ovulate anytime - some women ovulate DURING their period; your uterine and ovarian cycles can be very independent. Prettymuch the only way to know is to let time pass and keep testing

Never dig a test out of the trash or read it after time - that's how evap lines and "false positives" happen.
You're welcome, it's better to have the info you need if you may be pregnant! It's a very stressful time, every little thing becomes a huge source of confusion and/or mystery. A uterine twinge becomes a million questions and it feels really frustrating when the doc tells you it's nothing (happens a lot :P .) Happy testing!
