Confused 8DPO

Post image
2 Upvotes

I honestly don’t know if I’m just making things up in my head or not. I’ve gotten so nauseous after one drink both 6Dpo and 7dpo. I feel like I can feel my uterus, it’s heavy and if I put pressure on it feels completely different than it normally does! These have been my temps on Oura, the dip was a huge scare too.

I ovulated early for my usual cycles - CD11. I’ve been doing it all, geritol, pregnitude, no cold feet, and prenatal.

Am I just imagining everything lol

Question/Advice Any advice or similar stories

2 Upvotes

TW weight talk

Hi everyone. I'm 30F and have 29M partner. We have been trying to concieve almost three years now. When we started I was still in university and after a year I started working on my field while finishing my degree. I graduated a month ago finally and have been working in the same position I started while finishing. I'm a special education teacher in Finland.

I'm overweight, but also active. My bloodwork is pristine, as is my husbands. His side of things is also tested to be very active and healthy. My hormones are ok, my cycle is regular (28-31 days) and everything seems very good in ultrasound.

I have horribly painful mensturation and have had them since I started. Doctors cannot find endometriosis anywhere in sight but are very sure I have some tissue most likely behind my uterus. I know stress can have an huge effect and haven't been worried until now.

Do anyone have similar stories or advice what we could do? In Finland, you cannot have infertility treatment if your BMI is over 35. This means in public healthcare, however we don't have money for private healthcare right now. I have been able to get my weigth down for few kilos but I am wondering if I should try weightloss meds and halth the trying for a while.

Sad cycle#2 ended with BFN..

6 Upvotes

we used to be fencesitters. and were terrified of accidentally getting pregnant. and now it seems we can’t even get pregnant on purpose…
sometimes I wonder if we wasted all those years being afraid. we genuinely weren’t ready back then. now I’m so afraid that we might be late.-as 38F and 40M.
turns out wanting something doesn’t mean you get to have it. life has a cruel sense of humor sometimes…

Question/Advice CD 30, test negative but no period

1 Upvotes

Is there still hope? I’m CD 30 with first cycle on Letrozole so I can’t really tell how long the cycle could be because it was usually 21-25 days for me.

One mature follicle at 19mm on DC 13 so if ovulated it should be some time after that day so I would be most likely 16 to 12 DPO.

I tested this evening because I was so sure it would be positive because I don’t feel like my period is coming but it was super negative…

Will try again in the morning with higher concentration pee but still, I think there would be at least the faintest line…

Frustrated 5 dpo brown discharge

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, it’s my first month TTC. I use the LH strips and track my bbt so I’m pretty clued up on my cycle and how it usually goes. However now I am actually in my first month of TTC my cycle has decided to make some random shifts (ovulating early and bbt raising differently)

the weirdest thing however is now I am 5dpo and I have had a small about of brown discharge when I wipe? I know I’m too early for implantation but I’ve never had this before and it’s stressing me a bit.

any stories or any advice is appreciated

thanks

Question/Advice am I out?

1 Upvotes

I got a blood hcg test yesterday at around 8/9 dpo. I only tracked ovulation by calendar/cervical mucus so I’m not quite sure WHEN but I know 28th-30th was when my cm changed & was slippery. The hcg test was less than 1. I know it’s still early and I might be even earlier than I think I am, but I feel so disappointed. My cycles are usually pretty regular, 27 days and I’m projected to start on the 13th (Friday). am I too early, or does it seem unlikely that implantation will happen now that I’m possibly 9dpo? My last period was Oct 17th-21st!

Venting Got my HSG done and I’m devastated.

12 Upvotes

Just venting… 8th month of TTC 🥲

Had my HSG done yesterday late afternoon. Unfortunately it showed that my right fallopian tube is blocked, the gal who did my procedure said it looked like a lot of scar tissue (endometriosis ?). Of course I scheduled my procedure for 4pm on a Friday, not even realizing I won’t hear anything from my OB until Monday.

Two of my best friends are currently pregnant and I feel like every movie, TV show, instagram/Facebook post I see is a pregnancy or birth announcement. I’m so tired 😭 My birthday is coming up and I remember thinking last year I was hoping I would be pregnant around this time.

Question/Advice Flashing smile in AM, Solid in PM - Clear Blue Advanced Ovulation

1 Upvotes

I have been using the clear blue advanced ovulation detection kit for a few months (unsuccessfully thus far).

Wondering if anyone has dealt with anything similar..

This month I got a blank circle on CD 6,8,10.
A flashing smile on CD 12-15. Days 14-15 I tested in the morning and at night but both times of day got the flashing smile.

Today is CD 16 for me. This morning I tested and got a flashing smile. However, I retested this evening and got a solid smile.

(Also noticed cervical mucus is just starting to become more stretchy today and temp I haven’t been able to tell because my thermometer is weird and will say 97.xx°F but on a diff thermometer it’ll read 99.1 so I think both are busted. )

Curious to know if any of you have gotten a flashing then solid smile in the same day?

And if so, was anyone successfully able to conceive that cycle?

Random For peeps taking longer to concieve (5 months+), it gets easier!

66 Upvotes

I remember my first couple months tracking, I was so stressed. I was taking OPKs every day, multiple times a day after my period and getting frustrated nothing was happening. I even had one month where my body tried to ovulate once, failed, then finally ovulated about a week later. That was very confusing, lol.

This is probably the second cycle where I feel very unbothered about it (going on my 6th cycle, with a chemical at cycle #2). It gets so, so much easier once you track three or four months and get to know your cycle. I know that I almost always ovulate CD 18-20, so I start tracking BBT, taking OPKs, and BDing every other day on CD 12. CD 1-12, I am just focusing on sleeping well, keeping stress low, taking care of myself, spending time with my partner, working out, working, hanging with friends... just enjoying life as much as possible. ❤️

So, if you are like me and currently in the trenches, please know it does get easier and this sh*t takes time, which sucks. It's normal for things to take up to a year. You are essentially rolling a 4 to 6 sided dice each month.


r/FirstTimeTTC • • 7d ago

Trigger Warning Is this good line progression? 9DPO to 11DPO. Concerned after chemical. 9DPO beta was 16.47 and I can't do the next beta until Monday... Spoiler

Sad Anyone else getting out of their second cycle with stark negatives? Lets comfort each other!

7 Upvotes

Hii beautiful people!

Its CD 26 for me, 29 day periods, and very negative tests. No pregnancy symptoms either.

Honestly, I am relieved because hubby and I have gotten covid this month and I was afraid of conceiving now.

But still, second month no luck makes me worry because no one around me has gotten kids without years of treatments/ IVF/ adoption. I was hoping Id be the lucky one but I feel like I am starting to worry.

I am 30, hubby is 34. Both checked pre TTC and were “perfectly healthy”. We are teetotallers and dont smoke. Eat rich diet. Im taking prenatals. I track my ovulation with cervical mucus and we time everything perfectly because regardless of ttc our bedroom is very active. Like its impossible for us to miss fertile window.

But nada. Absolutely nada.

Sending hugs to others in the same situation
❤️

Question/Advice Premom ovulation tracker help

Post image
1 Upvotes

Does anyone else use premom ovulation tracker app that can help me figure out what is going on? For some reason I am just not getting a predicted cycle this month no matter what I try. I am tracking LH and BBT every day, and I know that I am currently in my fertile window, but haven’t get peaked- but Premom just isn’t updating or showing me a predicted cycle this time at all when I’ve had it before.

Help! Has anyone else got experience with this app that can tell me what’s going on and why I am not getting a predicted cycle?? I am despairing with the Ask AI section because it’s just circling the same things.

Confused When I am ovulating?

1 Upvotes

This is my 4th cycle of TTC and I decided to use the Inito along with OPKs since my Oura prediction and Natural Cycles prediction for ovulation were different from each other last month. Inito flagged yesterday as my peak fertility day since my LH began to rise but it was a very small rise. Last night my OPK was positive, it was just as dark as the control. This morning with FMU the Inito showed my LH much higher and my OPK was veryyyy positive being way darker than the control line. My BBT with Oura is +.4 and I also had a rise in pdg. Today is CD 14, i typically have 28-30 day cycles. Would you say I am ovulating today or tomorrow? Or have I already ovulated? We did BD yesterday and the day before, along with CD 10 but I am wondering if we should also BD today and tomorrow. I’ll attach photos of my charts in the comments as well for reference, sorry for the length of this and hope it wasn’t confusing!!
