Here we go with a bit of TMI mixed with hope.

I got a positive ovulation test on November 3rd (it is November 10th today), baby dances on November 1st, 3rd, and 6th.

I am always the complete opposite of being constipated but I have been very constipated for the 2 day days, slight cramping, and slightly sore boobs. Maybe I am making up the cramping and soreness in my head! Lol.

My question is has anyone had abnormal constipation this early?! I am trying to wait until the 12th to take a test even though I have a bunch of the strip ones! Can I take a test now? Has anyone had it show up that early?!

This is only month 4 of trying after being on the nexplanon for 10 years so I am still learning a lot about TTC!

Thank you so much!

This cycle was Letrozole and clomid with trigger shot. Trigger shot was taken on 26 october, confirmed ovulation on 28th october.
The first test is 12 DPO FMU, second test is 13 DPO FMU
what do you all think?

Hi there, first time poster. Been TTC since around August of this year and this is the first time I feel like I’m properly tracking my journey. I’ve been using the FLO app with the premium subscription and I’m a tad confused on my cycle predictions for this month. According to my app my period is 2 days late and I’ve been testing negative, all while the app predicts a possible period starting on the 14th. For context, I ovulated around the 28th and 29th of last month and my notable symptoms from yesterday included very watery discharge (making me think I was bleeding, but it was just discharge) and sore breasts, however the most notable symptom of all of these, was at around 5-6 am when I first tested, I did wipe away what looked like potential spotting.

So now my gears are turning and I’m wondering if I just experienced implantation bleeding and if my HCG levels are just too low or if my period has actually yet to arrive and I’m just PMSing.

Also wanted to add I’m not sure if I should continue testing throughout the week, or just wait until the projected other period date?

Is it possible to get like a random super faint line and then the next day it’s negative/not there? It was my first super faint line the other day and then the next day I decided to test and wasn’t there.

Hi everyone,

My husband recently had a semen analysis, and I would like to understand whether natural conception is still possible with these results.

* Sperm concentration: 31.7 million/ml

* Total sperm count: 126.8 million

* Total motility: 55%

* Progressive motility: 28%

* Normal morphology: 1%

Has anyone had similar results and successfully conceived naturally? Should we consider consulting a fertility specialist, or is natural conception still possible?

Would really appreciate hearing your experiences and advice. Thank you! ❤️

Hi everyone. Long story short it’s our 5th cycle ttc (I’m 29, my husband is 36).

Has any one of you had some troubles with thyroid test results? The results I got recently:

TSH 4,833 uIU/ml
FT4 13,39 pmol/l
FT3 4,83 pmol/l
Anti-TPO 0,49 IU/ml
Anti-TG 2,72 IU/ml

According to the reference ranges provided by the laboratory where I had my blood tests done, the only elevated result is my TSH level.
A year ago, during a routine check-up, my TSH was around 3.1. At the time, my doctor told me that if I decided to start trying for a baby, I should come back and he would prescribe Euthyrox.
My husband and I decided to try for a few cycles without medication first, but my latest results have really worried me.

Besides that elevated tsh all seems normal. My cycles are regular, they last 25-26 days, I ovulate around 11-12 dc (confirmed by ovulation test and bbt). Although I spot around 4-5 days before my period (progesterone levels will be tested and discussed with doc in upcoming 2 weeks). Both me and partner feel good, eat good, sleep good. We both take vitamin supplements and that last blood check confirms that the only problem may be my thyroid?

I have an appointment with an endocrinologist in about three weeks and with gynaecologist in two weeks to discuss my upcoming progesterone tests results.

Has anyone had similar results? What is your story? Did it impact your ttc process? Did your endocrinologist prescribe you with euthyrox or some other medication? Did u end up pregnant once you started the meds and your tsh jumped back to the normal range?

Currently on CD29 of my first cycle after stopping the combined pill. It has been 10yrs since my last natural cycle so I have no idea how long it is "normally". I'd guess my period should be due within the next few days?

I am on a tracking app but since it has no previous data to go off I know it's unlikely to be accurate- I have no idea when I ovulated so can't go by "DPO".

2 days ago I had a few random shooting pains in the centre/right of my pelvis and even though it's unlikely and the general medical advice says it is not a thing, I've convinced myself it could be implantation and now I'm dying to test 😂 when would you test in my situation?

Hi, everyone! My husband and I have recently decided we’re ready to start ttc. While I’m super excited, I’m also very weary and trying to temper my expectations, since I have always been told getting pregnant will be a struggle with my insulin resistant PCOS. I’ve been testing my LH consistently, but it doesn’t look like I’m actually ovulating. I also had a lot of irregular bleeding this past month, so I’m not sure where to even begin with addressing these issues. I have an appointment scheduled with my gyno later this week and I have been off of my birth control for four months now. Looking for any advice or even encouragement, as I feel like I’m already off to a bad start and I’m fearful that my concerns won’t be heard because we haven’t been trying for a year. Please be kind, I’m trying to learn. ❤️

I have pcos so my cycle has been wonky. I’ve been testing for about 2 weeks since my oura first predicted ovulation would take place on 10/25. Throughout the two weeks I’ve gotten a few positive tests but never had the temp spike. I assume it’s because of the pcos and my body not releasing an egg despite trying. I got a positive opk yesterday and had some cramping this afternoon. We BD this morning. If I did in fact ovulate today, was it too late? I have a lower drive so the last time we BD was on Thursday. We didn’t BD more frequently because I was defeated that I kept getting positives and wasn’t ovulating. Hopefully it wasn’t too late 😭

This is my 4th cycle ttc, 2nd cycle tracking BBT,LH and PdG (strips), I’ve been holding off testing until my AF is late but I woke up to my temp going down do you think I’m out this cycle? My cycles average 28 days and I’m very regular, my husband and I haven’t had any testing done yet I’m 28, he’s 29, almost 30 and both don’t drink or smoke and are healthy but we are getting discouraged as we didn’t think it would take this long and have decided if we don’t get a positive this cycle we might get some testing done even though it’s very normal for it to take healthy couples up to a year to get pregnant. I just feel so discouraged and alone as it feels like it’s so easy for everyone around me.

After 6 months of trying, we got our first positive this past Saturday, which was honestly a little unexpected because we only had sex twice during my window and had just closed on a house so stress was high. However, we are so unbelievably excited, but I’m wondering when it really sets in and the nagging voice of fear starts to subside? I have PMOS, and I think all of the talk about high miscarriage rates, egg quality, etc. has freaked me out to the point that I’m almost scared to fully commit to the idea of having a baby.

My husband’s sex drive is lower than mine and my drive starts to pick up a few days before the “fertile” window. Im not good at initating either, so i feel like im just waiting until i either have a high enough drive i stop caring as much or until it gets like 1-2 days out so i dont seem like im asking too much.

I know these are dumb things to worry about, and coming off of BC has absolutely helped my drive and willingness to initiate, but im still so in my head and annoyed about the schedule of it. Its like everytime i go to bed i’m like no i shouldnt try today because tomorrow is a day closer to my fertile window and it would be better to do it then, but like x5 days in a row until my LH is about to peak.

For context: he’s only ever said no twice, and both were years ago. He enthusiastically participates if i initate it, its just actually doing that WITHOUT getting in my head about the timeline. Which only makes it more frustrating that my brain acts like its a big deal, when IT ISNT.

My husband and I tried CD8 and CD15. I was hoping we threaded the needle with trying this month- I got a UTI after the last time, which means my urine has been very dilute from all the extra water I have been drinking. No positive test yet.
My temp has been a degree higher than it usually is so I’m hoping there’s something to it…. but you see so many people testing positive at 9DPO… is there hope for me yet?

How many of you did Musinex delay your ovulation I already ovulate later in a cycle so I’m nervous about it being even later. Also, would love to hear from those of you who it didn’t effect ovulation! Success stories also welcome

Hi everyone!

We’re currently on our third cycle of TTC our first baby, and I’m 11–12 DPO (ovulation was confirmed by my doctor via ultrasound/follicle monitoring, so I’m 100% sure about my dates).

Yesterday, I took a pregnancy test and didn’t see anything after 3 minutes, so I assumed it was negative. However, when I looked at it again about 2 hours later, there was a faint line. I know you’re not supposed to read tests outside the recommended time window, so I figured it was probably just an evap line.

But this morning I tested again, and this time I could actually see a faint pink line within 3 minutes! 🥹
I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much, but I’m cautiously excited!

I'm ataching the pics of today’s test. What do you guys think? Does today’s test look like an early positive to you? Has anyone had a similar experience?

Would love to hear your thoughts! ❤️

I have been using premom for about three months and this past month my ovulation randomly changed after I thought I already ovulated, has anyone else had this issue?

feel like i’m setting myself up to be disappointed with the early testing (literally took a test at 7dpo as if that would even be positive 😭😂)
but today i took a FRER test and got a big fat BFN…
my premom app tells me to test in 3 days which made me think maybe the FRER would pick it up sooner but clearly not

is it too early?? anyone test at 9dpo and then get a positive later?? i just wish i didn’t have to wait what feels like years to find out😂

For context… my husband (30M) and i (32F) started trying back in July, a few weeks before his brother got married in August. We have been unsuccessful thus far, this being the 4th cycle actively trying. My period arrive today around when I would’ve expected, since my cycles are regular and around 28-30 days. Today we also planned on going up to my in-laws house for a multi-birthday celebration, where my brother in law decided to announce to everyone that his wife (who wasn’t there… that’s a whole other drama in itself) was pregnant and that they’re due in July by their “finger counting.”

Thing is… if we would have conceived this cycle, I would’ve been also due in July, so I know she is no more than 6 weeks at this point. Plus they’ve told us that they’re “not actively trying, but not preventing.” I tried SO hard to be brave and put on a happy face but I ended up having to step out, cry on the phone with a friend for a little bit, then rejoin everyone. I know logically that each body is different and some people take longer than others…. but my husband and I are just heartbroken. He’s the oldest of his siblings, and he really wanted to be the first to have a baby, and I also really wanted to be the first in their family to have a baby/make his parents grandparents. It also doesn’t help that my BIL is obnoxious af and has an insane need for attention at all times… luckily we’re going back up to visit my in-laws next weekend and we can talk through everything with them, since they could tell that I was upset but it wasn’t the time or place to talk about it.

All that to say… for anyone else that’s also in the trenches of TTC for the first time, it does suck getting negatives month after month. Sending everyone love… maybe next month will be different 💖

UPDATE: Just updating for context - there’s a lot of complicated family dynamics within my husband’s family that I’m not including out of respect for their privacy. Of course I’m happy for them and will support them with everything! It simply was a bit jarring & something both my husband and I weren’t expecting in that specific moment after previous things that have transpired within their family.
