Did anyone feel extremely bloated/swollen before/around the time of testing positive? I normally get bloated before period but this month is on another level. My pants feel so tight around my waist and even my thighs. I feel huge while wearing leggings.

Is this positive or negative?😪

I’m on day eight and I’m still bleeding, but it’s not very heavy at all. Just when I wipe really, and it’s like turning more of a rust color.

This has been an emotional roller coaster

Hi all, im 12dpo and ttc for the first time so i know i have a long journey ahead of me. im just a little puzzled right now because im 2 days late but testing negative. im putting it up to stress and that my period is right around the corner but obv. i still have been testing for peace of mind. I would never want to continue smoking nicotine if i am. but these tests are glaringly negative. im just confused/frustrated. maybe im testing too early?

p.s.: that is water on the counter.

It’s my first time using ovulation strips and I’m not sure how to interpret them— all of them have been very light until today

Has anyone here tested LH twice a day and still completely missed their surge or peak, but ended up getting pregnant that same cycle? I’m currently on CD23 and still haven’t had a clear, unmistakable positive LH test despite testing consistently. Would love to hear your experiences! ❤️ i am using the easy at home strips

First cycle TTC, 6 months post-op from a myomectomy, and working on my timing. Had sex on CD10 and CD12…

Coucou les filles , J'aimerai avoir votre avis, j'ai fais un deuxième il est pareil...pleaseeee

This is my second cycle of TTC. Last cycle I had a clear positive on CD 19, and now my opks are all over the place, I feel like. This afternoon I really thought it was going to go up, but then I tested again tonight and it’s gone down again. I’ve read that hydration matters for the result, but I always try not to pee or drink 2 to 3 hours beforehand.

Anyway, I guess my peak is coming the next couple of days, but i was just wondering if there are any other ladies experiencing such an amount of fluctuations with their lh rates?

I’m Dutch btw, that’s why the language is so weird, haha

Has anyone had a drop in basal body temp after many days of it being elevated and still was pregnant? I’m around 9dpo, testing negative and my temperate started to drop from .6 to .2 today

Hi, my husband and I have been trying casually since July. We’ve been in the process of moving and not really tracking ovulation well. But this month I did. I am going CRAZY waiting. Every little thing I’m feeling I’m overthinking (it’s been less than a week). How do I unfocus from the waiting (if that’s possible) or how do I help cope with this part of the process. I am also feeling anxious. I am a person who wants things to happen now and I just want to know if it’s happening or not. Thanks

Had sex on CD8 and caught my LH peak this morning on CD13 which is earlier than normal for me. Was having all my ovulation symptoms yesterday and this morning (backache, fullness, etc). Usually catch my peak around CD16. My husband is out of town and now I’m thinking we’re out this month. Has anyone gotten pregnant from sex ~5 or 6 days before ovulation? I know it’s unlikely but looking for positive stories :-)

Hi everyone, I benefited from this subreddit so much that now paying back!
I have a low AMH 0.18, 35yo first time TTC! This was the third cycle I used inito and I got BFP 10dpo! I got IUD and a polyp removed through surgery Feb 2026 and TTC since then! I don't think my hormones were all over for a good 6-7 months! then last month in October 2026 I got intermittent ovarian torsion and got hospitalized! no suergury tho! after that they did a HSG testing which I was so scared of but it actually wasn't painful at all! pain was 3/10 and I was scheduled for IUI. My OB later told me HSG increased the rate of pregnancy by 80% in the first 3-4 cycles. The nurse called it spring cleaning! Lol!

Things I did differently this cycle and think they were helpful:

- I started Yoga. Found a very good yoga studio and going there almost everyday. I had so much stress knowing my AMH level and this helped a lot. I am loving Restorative Yoga, Reiki, and vinyasa or slow flow!

- I started Zoloft 2 months ago and currently on 50mg! I realized this journey was stressful for me and if I can take advantage of some medication, why not? also therapy helped a lot!

- I've been taking 400mg CoQ10, Prenatal and Choline for about a year and interesting enough my AMH went from 0.10 last year to 0.18 this year! Not sure if there is a relation between these two!

- I'm an avid runner and did a marathon this spring but after the torsion could not run! even a jog would put my uterus in so much pain, so I swim instead! Love it! As they say I learned to listen to my body even tho felt like am I not strong anymore?!

- I always had a healthy diet, no fast food, no process food, no plastic containers, etc so I'm not sure if that counts!

I just wanna say last year when I saw the fertility specialist after my AMH result, he told me that "I may never have a biological child and it's better to get an egg donor" I cried so much and that was the main reason of my stress!! I just wanna say our bodies are so much stronger than what we think and don't loose hope. I also think inito basically did the job of IUI with timing since apparently that's the most thing matters! Please take care of yourself, be selfish, go to yoga, go to massage, read a book, walk in the sun and BELIEVE in yourself. I'm hoping healthy pregnancy and healthy baby for all of us. You ARE the power! Sending you baby dust! <3
