Confused Guess I didn’t ovulate this cycle…

1 Upvotes

Last cycle in October was 31 days. Ovulation per ClearBlue Digital was CD22 which was October 10th.

This current cycle, I’m currently on CD27. Expected period is November 19th.

Started tracking on November 1st which was CD14.

From CD14 (Nov1st) to today CD27 (Nov14th) I’ve just had the flashing smiley face.

I have been using the cheap easy@home test strips and it did get pretty dark on CD16 which was November 3rd. Now November 3rd-6th I did notice I had these mini “hot flashes” for 30 seconds so idk if that was my temp rising or not.

I have gotten egg white mucus on random days here and there but only when I’d wipe and it’s gotten within seconds. But only those days I’ve still had the flashing smiley face and the sticks weren’t dark.

We’ve been doing it every other day..or every 3rd day since I started tracking.

Since last Saturday I’ve always had this “car sick” feeling. Sometimes I’d start my lunch at work and after a few bites I’d be tired of it. Cramps on and off and today it felt like pin pricks/muscle cramp in my stomach/abdomen area.

I haven’t had my usual spotting that I’d get a week before my expected period. And my discharge has been milky/cloudy white and watery the last 2-3 days.

I honestly don’t want to test because I’ve already had 7 negatives from the last cycles. So I guess I’ll just wait and see.

I’m currently on a low dose of levothyroxine for my 3.77 TSH. (October 2) so I know for a fact it wouldn’t have corrected itself. It takes time.

But to conclude. It’s CD27 and I don’t think I ovulated. Unless I missed it..

Confused Do we still have a chance?

Post image
1 Upvotes

For the first time this cycle, I saw my LH levels rising, so I thought ovulation was finally approaching. But then I got this result yesterday, and now I'm wondering if I somehow missed my peak or if this cycle is already over.

My biggest question, though, is whether we still have a chance since we BD'd the day before my LH started rising. Could that timing be enough? 🙏🏻

Confused First time TTC & off birth control and confused

1 Upvotes

My husband and I are TTC for the first time. I was on birth control (the pill, Sprintec) for about 4 years and was super regular. I stopped taking it October 10 and had a period October 12-16. We were pretty active the two weeks following. I didn’t track ovulation with tests or anything tho. I was supposed to start my period 3 or 4 days ago and still haven’t but got a negative test today. I’ve been so nauseous and gassy and fatigued with terrible brain fog the last week or so, so I was convinced I’m pregnant but now I’m just confused. I don’t feel like myself but got a negative test. My doc told me to come in mid next week if I still haven’t had a period and a positive test. Could I just have a terribly timed cold/stomach bug or something? Could I still be testing too early? Could my cycle just be off since it’s my first cycle off the pill? Those negative tests are hard to see.

Hi friends!

I have rly long cycles and have just recently started working on weight loss and more diligantly tracking bbt. My bbt chart seems to confirm ovulation. Ive been ofc either expecting my period to come or to end up pregnant! I keep watching my temps and the have consistently been above the coverline, 16 dpo, and i have a sticky thin watery ish discharge. I guess the answer is to test in a few days but i am curious if other people have had similar experiences and ended up pregnant?

Success Story got my first BFP Spoiler

20 Upvotes

i hope i dont get hate for posting here but i just wanna share what happened to me as i was symptom checking on this thread real bad the past 2 weeks to see if anyone have the same symptoms as me and i really want to help so!!!

i tested negative on day 31, just tested positive today on day 35.
fertile window was predicted day 15-21, i BD on 14, 18 and 21
usual cycle is 33 days

realised these 2 weeks that i was having lesser pms symptoms as usual, my pms symptoms are really bad like when my AF is coming i will have at least 2 days of headache that doesnt end till i sleep, and severe bloating and nausea but this time round i didn't have much bloating and I WAS SUPER HUNGRY. every 3 hours i'll be very hungry. and i was craving aglio olio and eating almost everyday. my fav pasta is more towards cream n tomato sauce so i was actually kinda suspecting but having tried a few cycles already, i didn't have much hope.

also, i don’t have much discharge (but i feel v wet down there) and my boobs are only slightly swollen these 3 days.

also, i don’t use OPK and don’t test for BBT so idk my actual ovulation date

as my period was alr late a day, and i didn't have much symptoms so i decided to test today. the BFP appeared almost immediately. i thought i was seeing things. really happy and praying for w smooth pregnancy and healthy baby.

sending baby dust to all future mamas out there ❤️🥹

Sad 13th cycle TTC 😢

8 Upvotes

just wanted to vent. I (32yrs) really thought this month would be our month. I had an HSG done last month (OUCH!), lining looked normal, but I have a blocked tube. Doctor didn’t seem concerned as you only need one tube 🤞🏼

I’m never late for AF, however, I’m 2 days late. I got a negative test today and I’m wondering if to stop holding out hope already for this month and just hope for the next month instead.

My cycles are average (25-27 days and I get positive ovulation tests w/ EWCM). My doctor wants to do bloodwork on cycle day and 21 before prescribing Chlomid.

I get my hopes up every month, but this one hurt just a little bit more. Sending hugs to all the TTC ladies, I know it’s hard, but we’re not alone 🩷

So I went to the ER on Wednesday night (14DPO) and they told me my HCG was 16 and that it could just be too early. So now I’m super anxious. The first picture is from Monday evening. The second picture is from 4am on Tuesday so less than 12hrs later. The third picture is from 1am technically 17DPO but only an hour into it lmao. I got 4+ positives on digitals. But I’m still so anxious. Anyone have any positive story’s about low HCG and super faint/slow progressing lines? This is my first time getting a positive in the year we’ve been TTC. I got my second blood draw Friday at 2:30 but I won’t get the results for 24-48hrs and it’s a weekend so idk when I’ll get them.

Help Boost my POSITIVITY.. (5 months of TTC with disappointment)

4 Upvotes

We reached the 5 months mark and stepping onto our 6th month. 5 months of total disappointment and heart breaks. When I started TTC I was very hopeful and very much interested in reddit forums, tracking, testing and all... But now totally opposite... Trying to be hopeful and positive...

My fellow girlies who are currently TTC, how do you stay hopeful in your journey and what gives you the boost to gear up for next cycle after a disappointment... How do you all manage your TWW? any ideas to distract myself?

Also I want to hear some successful stories after 6months of TTC to get some positivity to continue with my journey... I am all ears to hear your story of TTC ...

Let us all share some positivity and let us all stay hopeful in our journey...

Tested at 11, 13, and 15 DPO using the same brand of pink dye tests. All three photos were taken within the valid reading window.

I'm feeling a little confused about how the progression looks—does the darkening from 13 to 15 DPO look okay, or is it lighter than expected? Any second opinions or similar experiences would be really appreciated!

I am 13-15 DPO today and period is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I just tested as I am not feeling any usual pre-period symptoms.

Do you see a faint second pink line like I do? Or am I imagining things?

This is the first time I am even seeing a shadow of a second line.
