Hi everyone! I’m new to charting, but this cycle has definitely been a bit funky!

CD12 I was a bit sick so I think that elevated my temps on CD13 + 14

I got Peak Fertility on CD14 and 16… did I have a 48 hour surge do we think? Or was it a double surge?

When do we think I ovulated? CD15, CD16, or CD17

Would really appreciate any advice!

Ik ben 14 dpo. Ben 1 dag overtijd met mijn menstruatie. Ik hoop het!!

I truly cannot believe I get to type these words- it feels too good to be true. I got my BFP today at 10DPO! 🎉🎉🎉
I had cramps around 7DPO that lasted for the afternoon and felt pretty similar to period with a little “lightning crotch” lol.
Since then I’ve only had very mild dull cramping for small periods of time which made me think I was out! (For some reason since starting TTC in June I’ve had more luteal phase cramping)

Things I did different this cycle: deleted Reddit & TikTok so I wouldn’t compare, wore socks every night and day after my ovulation, had less ICE-ey drinks (who knows if this all helped or not but it was an easy switch )

0 symptoms so far just have been having bad sleep the past 5 days or so… (could be nerves) Last night though I did have a dream that I got a positive FRER! And boom!
It was actually the LACK of PMS symptoms that made me want to test at 10DPO and still I just simply never expected it to be positive 🥹 I feel so extremely grateful and all glory goes to God!

(23 yo Female & 23 yo Male, cycle number 3 of first time TTC)

I’m TTC and need advice on whether to test today. My last proper period started 8 Aug. I got a Clearblue peak on 19 Aug, but my most obvious fertile cervical mucus was around 22 Aug, so I’m not fully sure whether I ovulated around 20-21 Aug or a bit later around 22-23 Aug. We had sex on 16, 18, 21 and 22 Aug.

Since around 22-23 Aug I’ve had really inconsistent bleeding - sometimes nothing for hours, then fresh red blood when wiping, then nothing again. Pads/underwear have often stayed mostly clean, but today I passed a small dark clot/material and later had a brighter red wipe. It still hasn’t clearly turned into my normal continuous period. Based on the dates alone, would you test today, or wait another day?

I’m so confused! Is it 24 hours roughly after the first positive? Day 20 is positive, or is it 24 hours after the peak. Also due to conflicting work schedules we only had sex on cycle days 18&19.

As this is my first time tracking using strips, I would love feedback about how dark tests need to be so that I can move accordingly moving forward. Would you consider this positive?

Does anyone see a super faint line?

The uneven test line is throwing me off. Premom says it’s 0.96, and last month my peak was 0.92 and it was also uneven like this.

Just saw a comment I made almost 100 days ago about being 13-14 with negative test. Crazy how I’m here again? I know it’s not as long as others but it still hurts. I saw maybe 3 pregnancy announcements in the last couple of days. 13-14 days DPO, cycle day 39. No positive and no period. Like stay within my cycle length and stop playing with my feelings. I really wanted a positive this morning 💔

What apps are you guys using? I’ve been using premoms free version along with clue for ovulation and period predictions. Premom is ok, i like the option to take pictures of the tests strips. I just don’t really wanna pay the amount that premom asks for a subscription to get extra knowledge about fertility, ovulation, etc.

Hi all! This is my first cycle TTC where I did the LH tests and the BBT and I am wondering if il reading this correctly. TYSM for any help!

Should I pay $350 for Semen Analysis + DNA Fragmentation at Trio Fertility?

My wife (36F) and I (37M) have been trying for ~6 months. Her fertility tests (AMH, FSH, LH, etc.) are okay.

My testosterone/LH/FSH were poor in June, but after Clomid, CoQ10, L-carnitine, etc., my repeat bloodwork on Aug 25 showed significant improvement.

My June semen analysis at FlowLabs was also not great:

- Volume: 1.44 mL

- Concentration: 14.44M/mL

- Total sperm: 20.79M

- Progressive: 32.05, Total motile: 42.41

I'm already scheduled for a repeat semen analysis at FlowLabs on Sept 14.

Today, Trio recommended their semen analysis with DNA fragmentation testing for $350 out of pocket. They don't have my previous results yet.

From what I've read, ASRM doesn't recommend sperm DNA fragmentation testing as part of the initial infertility evaluation.

Would you pay the $350 now, or wait for my repeat standard semen analysis and decide based on those results? (If the SAT numbers improve, then DFI not needed?) Is DNA fragmentation actually useful/necessary in my situation?

Would especially appreciate experiences from anyone who has dealt with Trio or DFI testing in Canada.

I just got a positive LH x 3 using both premom and clearblue digital. I’ve been reading a while about the Mucinex method. I understand there’s no proven science, but I figure it can’t hurt to try. If I were to take it tonight and tomorrow, would it be beneficial, or would it be too late? I’m reading people take them for 5 days before ovulation.

Does showering after BD affect sperm? I always shower after and now i’m kinda worried that it might’ve affected it. I probably waited like 1-2 mins then showered. This is our first time TTC as well

First month of obsessively tracking LH, pdg, and bbt. As of right now I’m 2DPO and my pdg line is fading and so is my LH. How do yall keep from losing your minds during the wait though 😭

So my period is a week and naturally I took a test, 2 just to be sure. and they say negative, but my period is still not coming. And I don't know what to do. I want this so bad but I feel like my body is just playing tricks on me.
