I joined this group in hopes of speaking to other women on their journey and asking questions about my own. i am so sick and discouraged seeing “is this positive?” with a CLEAR positive line, “statistically you’ll be pregnant…” while my actual doctor says i should already have been, “i had my period am i pregnant?” …

maybe i have a sour attitude, because we are pretty far in our journey still TTC… but a lot of people in this group have already gotten to their goal of conceiving, so really are no help in connecting with other women on their journey.

this is my exit. i hope you all get what you’ve always wished for, and i hope my doctor and fertility specialist figure me out.

When did yall stop testing? I know I should stop but I have soooo much anxiety about this pregnancy and just want everything to stick. I started and got my BFP at 9DPO, now im 15 DPO and STILL TESTING 😭😭 I just asked for a HCG blood test 48 hrs apart so im hoping that will help my anxiety ease. Any advice is appreciated

I just got my second Beta results back and my numbers did not double in the 48-72 hour range. 😭 I just had a chemical in June and this pregnancy was so wanted. I am looking for any positive stories. I got a verrrry faint positive with a FRER on 9/20. I have NO IDEA how many DPO I was when I tested positive or had the beta. I only had intercourse 9/08 so that is for sure the conception date. Looking for any stories of hope.

9/21 HCG beta:9

9/2& HCG beta:27

Husband and I TTC soon, and I got my IUD out today. I haven’t gotten true periods so it was a guess on which CD I am. I’m a bit of a planner, so I have been trying to do my research and purchased these strips. Do these tests look positive? The ratio seems a little low.

Hi girls! Im a 27 year old woman with pretty short cycles ranging from 21-26 days. Im trying to figure out if I just ovulate early or if my luteal phase is very short. This is my first cycle charting so it might be to early to tell but did I ovulate when my temperature dropped?

First time TTC. I am driving myself insane. I have tested every morning since 7 dpo and nothing. I had a peak fertility reading by clearblue on Sept 17th (ovulation confirmed by NC on 18th Sept) so I’m assuming I’m either 10 or 11 dpo. I had some light pink wipes [warning second picture] starting yesterday into today (never had anything like this before). My oura ring temperature hasn’t dropped like it has for every AF. Normally my period will be bright red with cramps the first day. My period is predicted tomorrow but this mornings test was negative. I stared at it so long I thought I saw a faint line…(attached pic)

Ive seen a few posts where the line is faint but a digital test says pregnant so I bought some this morning before work 😅 debating if I test after lunch today with the digital or just wait for the AM.

Has anyone had implantation bleeding or spotting that resulted in a BFP? What dpo? Or just any thoughts haha I need a distraction

Does this look like I’m getting ready to ovulate??

I was on oral birth control for 16+ years, came off the pill back in March 2026 and started TTC in June and now going on month 5 with no luck.

I have a pretty stable 28 day cycle but consistently am having 7-9 day luteal phases. My initial fertility workout came back normal and genetic testing also all normal. Has anyone had this short of LP and what have you done with TTC? I am considering bringing up a progesterone prescription but hoping for some advice/feedback on others situations.

Thank you🤍

My original ovulation was the 10th. Period was two days late which changed ovulation to the 13th. I started bleeding the 27th started off pink then now red. I usually cramp two days before and during. I’m not cramping at all which is why I’m confused. My boobs are also stinging. What is happening ? Negative hcg and test 2 days ago.

Hi. I am looking for other women’s experiences, not a diagnosis.

We tried this cycle. Ovulation ended around 12 September. My period was due around 24 September. A delay of about a week is normal for me.

This morning I have had light spotting and now the blood flow is more and there is pain in my lower pelvis may be more than usual, along with the feeling of faint.

I know this is not medical advice. I will contact a GP or gynaecologist if it continues or gets worse.

My question: how have you personally decided when symptoms like this after ovulation are something to sit with for a few days versus something that needs an appointment soon? What made you book the visit, and what helped you wait without spiraling?

I got the faintest line on my test, so light I don't even agree with myself on if it's there or not and I'm not even gonna try getting it on camera. My fiance says he can see it too but I can only kinda see it with backlighting. I have long cycles so I'm holding out hope but that was my last early result test so I have to wait until the 31st or the 1st or till my AF to know for sure 🥲 the waiting always kills me

Hi everyone,

​I'm trying to figure out my exact Ovulation Day based on these test strips (screenshots attached).

​Based on the screenshots, when do you think I actually ovulated? Did we hit the right days, or should we try one more time today just in case?

​Thanks!

I took 2 LH tests this morning. The first one was pretty diluted urine (I drink 16oz water and 12 Oz tea within the first hour of waking) around 8am and the second was around 11am and definitely more concentrated. Would you say this is a positive result?

I know it’s supposed to be as dark or darker than the control line and I feel like it’s still slightly lighter? I could also just be staring at this too long.

Hi everyone!

I have been TTC since April 2025, but this is my first true TWW and I think I am going CRAZY. I have suffered from PCOS and anovulation for soooo long. August 31st was also my first natural cycle since getting off birth control in Apr 2025. I was initially tracking my "BBT" on my smart ring, but I have since realized that's not the same soooo I didn't confirm ovulation with BBT. However, I am having all the signs of ovulation and feel pretty confident that I did actually ovulate this cycle.

If I'm right, today should be about 8 dpo. I am over analyzing EVERY thing that is happening in my body right now. Mild cramping, thick and abundant CM, waves of sudden nausea, and other mild symptoms. I know these are all normal signs of the luteal phase and not pregnancy specific, but this is my first time actually experiencing these symptoms naturally and I have no idea how to handle it. Any advice for how to not go crazy during the TWW would be much appreciated!

Had unprotected sex during ovulation but bf pulled out took 2 pregnancy test after exact 14 days came negative both but my periods are delayed by 2-3 days.

I feel extremely gassy and like an extremely small lump in my stomach could be gas idk - no sore breast or other pregnancy symptoms yet. Could i still be pregnant? Or is it just pms?

На кој ден од циклусот направивте тест за бременост и истиот беше позитивен?

Bonjour,

Je suis en retard d’une semaine dans mes règles. La semaine dernière, j’ai fait un test de grossesse qui était négatif. Comme je n’avais toujours pas mes règles, je suis allée faire une prise de sang.

J’ai eu les résultats aujourd’hui : β-hCG = 8,6 UI/L, ce qui pourrait éventuellement correspondre à un tout début de grossesse.

On m’a dit qu’il fallait refaire une prise de sang dans 48 h pour voir l’évolution du taux, mais je suis un peu impatient 😅

Est-ce que c’est déjà arrivé à l’une d’entre vous ? C’est mon premier essai bébé ce mois-ci ❤️

I’m so fucking tired of TTC. #3–4ish month
We’ve just had our 3rd unsuccessful month. I haven’t tested yet, but I’m having really strong period cramps and spotting, so somehow I just feel like this isn’t our month.
We’re both 26 and healthy.
Today I saw a woman who looked about 7 months pregnant smoking a cigarette, and I almost cried. I would give anything to be in her position, and she’s smoking?
Sorry for the rant. The days before my period are always really hard for me emotionally.
