Its the darkest ive seen them! First pic is about a minute after taking them and the second is after about 3 minutes

Got my 2nd positive on my 5th cycle after a chemical my first try!! I am unsure when I ovulated it was somewhere between day 14&18 now I’m on CD 27 I am curious how many dpo you think I am as I think I probably ovulated closer to 14! The 2nd first response looks way darker but they are the same test and used the same sample

Hey y'all my husband (M27) and I (F24) are very new to ttc and I would appreciate any guidance you have regarding bbt, ovulation, progesterone levels and ovulation inducers.

A few months back I saw an OBGYN regarding really long menstrual cycles (35-60 days). I've never really been regular, but I can get the gist of what's going on though my bbt. I've been tracking bbt for about a year now and I understand how to read a chart for the most part. My OB had me do some blood tests to confirm I was ovulating. Based on my tests, 7 days after my temps spike for ovulation, I do not have enough progesterone in my body for my OB to confirm ovulation.

My OB didn't give me much information other than she can't confirm ovulation and to let her know if I want to try an ovulation inducer.

This might just be me being uneducated, but in my understanding of hormone cycles, the temperature spike is caused by progesterone increasing in the body from the corpus luteum which forms after ovulation.

How can I have a temperature spike without ovulating?

I don't want to jump straight to ovulation inducers because the chance for multiples is higher.

Has anyone here experienced something similar?

Has anyone used ovulation inducers? How did it go?

I've added my latest three charts in case that helps determine if I am or am not ovulating based on bbt.

Hello,
Have you had spotting and back pain as your first pregnancy symptoms a few days before expected AF? I realize it’s close to AF and might be pms-ing but have also had a bad cold/runny nose 7-10dpo, and vivid dreams this month, and I almost never do.

Thanks for your quick responses!!

My temps are looking so good this cycle. My cycle is usually 25 days and we are staying pretty high 11 dpo. I feel like I’m seeing a faint line unless it’s an indent line 🥺 (don’t mind my lash extensions lol) what do you all think?

Hi!
I’m 34 years old and have used birth control pill for 10 years. My husband and I are finally feeling ready to have a baby.

Starting May, we stopped alcohol, focused on our diet, starting taking Coq10 supplement, daily vitamins, prenatal for me

I got off my pill end of July and very quickly had to learn all about how to track a cycle, BBT, ovulation tests, peeing on the sticks during a certain time and making sure my pee is not too diluted.

I started using Premom and was getting frustrated when I finally had LH peak on cycle day 24. Today on cycle day 35 (11DPO) I thought I have spotting and clots. HCG test negative.

I know if I call my OB, she will say I should keep trying and it’s only been one cycle after getting off birth control. I’ve always had irregular period since I started puberty but no doctor ever considered it to be an issue or tested anything.

I feel lost. I’m considering ordering Inito for the next cycle but see mixed reviews.

I’m looking for any advice on how to make my life easier in tracking my cycles and what may have worked for someone who has a similar history.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

💛

Maybe it’s line eyes idk I feel like I’m seeing things but I saw something held a light to the test and swore I saw it.

I had a very positive LH strip on 8/26, like 1.06, and that is the day we had sex. Today, Natural Cycles (based on their algorithm) confirmed the ovulation on 8/30. I’m assuming based on the temperature. But technically they say 12-36 hours after the LH surge.

Any insight?

I know this is sounds desperate/crazy. But I don’t have anyone around me to talk things out with. I am currently 7dpo. Just started experiencing cramping like an achey cramp. I typically get these a day or two before my period but that is still 6-7 days away. I really don’t want to sound like a crazy symptom spotter but I’ve also been irritatable, tired, and hungry.

Anyone that’s been through this have any advice for my sanity? ;,)

I’m now on the morning of day three no period, I swear I see a line but I don’t know. I tested at around 5:30 a.m. and plan to hold my pee and test again in a couple hours. I need help with if there’s actually a line or not. The likely encounter that would have resulted in a pregnancy happened three weeks ago today.

I can swear I see something but it’s barely there and I might be crazy.

Hiiii, I need a little guidance - maybe reassurance. TTC, 3 dpo, and trying to remain hopeful this go around. I’m trying to remind myself that it’s too early to know anything, however… CM is still heavier than normal, and just now there was light pink streaking within the CM. This is very unusual for me, so it has me a little too excited. My LH was also MUCH higher this month than ever before which gave us more hope as well.
Ultimately, I was wondering if a little pink in CM is a normal symptom of anything?
And I guess I’m just looking for words of positivity along with any experiences you guys have had this early dpo that landed you a positive test? I’ve got some cramping on one side, breasts feel heavy, and overall just feel a little weird. I’ve also never been pregnant so I’m at a loss on how to navigate things I’ve never dealt with.
Sorry if this makes no sense, I am all over the place this morning 😭

This is my 5th cycle and 13dpo. I never expected it to actually be so difficult to get pregnant and to handle the mental load while ttc. My doctor saw a dominant follicle this cycle, on Aug. 18, so at least we know I’m ovulating. But that almost makes this bfn harder. I didn’t everything right, testing, timing, doctor check, and still nothing.

It was my birthday last week, 36, and this process has stolen so much of that joy as well. Just feeling so disconnected and frustrated this morning.

Hi all,

Current month 3 TTC, appreciate this is early for many people. Like us all, I was hoping we’d be lucky first time around 😅.

Trying to do what I can to support my body. I feel we may have a long road ahead, trying to get out of that mindset but would like to spin it into something positive and focus on what I can do within my control.

I’m looking at vitamins, seen a lot about ARTAH. Would you all recommend, or is it worth just sticking to folic acid and vitamin d?

Context if it helps, 32F, taking ferrous sulphate for iron deficient, just starting taking vit d as slightly deficient in that too.

Sending lots of love & luck to you all!
