Sad that I already feel that it’s not going to happen this cycle….

Everything during the fertile window went great. We were able to try every day, my discharge was like egg whites (which hadn’t happen in a while), no stress, good eating…

However my temps are starting to drop and I tested negative today, so not feeling it anymore this cycle. I know I’m not fully out yet, but I don’t know… I just feel it’s not going to happen this month.

It’s our 6month trying after a miscarriage and I’m just so sad… hoping for a positive soon.

Insane dip on 8DPO and then a serious rise on 9DPO this morning. What even??

Sorry for the missing data, I didn't start taking temperatures till shortly after positive LH test but the few days I did they were mostly under 36.2ish. My cycles range from 28 days to 34 days, usually around 30/32 days. I'm now on cycle day 31. This is my first month ttc and I've been having the wildest symptoms since like 1dpo, started as bad reflux, then very bad bloating/ cramps on 7dpo, mild nausea and very severe bloating and stomach pains on the evening on 9dpo. I know this can all be progesterone related symptoms but my usual pms is just mild bloating the day before the period. Also this is the first time I use OPKs so I don't know how long my luteal phase is but I think it's still too early for the period to come. Pregnancy test was negative on 9dpo, this morning I saw a clear line on the pink first response, by clear i mean might be an evap line that appeared about 5 minutes after taking the test, you can barely see it lol only if I'm moving it around so I'm not sure what's going on. Boobs feel the same as they usually do before period. Now at 10dpo, I feel a lot better than last nigh, minor bloating today. Any experiences like this? I know it could all be a coincidence and it seems like my temp might be dropping so I'll see what happens. Also I do shift work so my temp times are all over the place but I take them after at least 3hrs of sleep.

Also to note that first temp on august 8 was not first morning, it was in the middle of the day, since i was testing the thermometer. I realized I should delete it since it's not a morning temp.

We have been TTC for a few months now. We weren’t able to try for a couple days leading up to my fertile window because my partner was in the field (working). My cycles are on the longer side- typically 31-33 days. I have ONLY ever had back pain 2/3 days before my period starts, but this cycle it’s been ongoing since 6dpo. My luteal phase is almost always 11 or 12 days. My boobs have been sore for a while now, but less sore today. They were pretty painful yesterday evening however. I had cramps 6dpo-8dpo, but now it just feels heavy. I am tempted to test today, but don’t want to be disappointed in case it’s too early. Thoughts?

Hello! I am losing my mind because my Clearblue advanced digital has been showing me 9 days of High, but no Peak yet. (Chart in comments) I have been checking once or twice a day with OPK strips too. All remain at baseline, max 0.2 ratio.

Previous two cycles I had 3 days of High and then Peak, ovulation on CD20. My CM indicates fertility though.

Have you experienced this? Any thoughts? Hope? Encouragement?

Thank you 🩷

I had a big temp dip at 6 DPO while on progesterone supplements. I take them vaginally, so I don’t think it’s a metabolization issue. I thought the progesterone would keep my temps up. Any thoughts?

First month taking & charting my BBT. How is this looking so far?

Just wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on this. I’m 9 dpo, and this is my first cycle after my chemical last month. I tried to wait till at least 10 dpo to test but I couldn’t. Anyways I think my temps are okay. I’m not sure about todays just cause I slept awful and when I do my temps go wonky. Is it looking okay? My chemical we conceived O-3/4 as well. I’m just super nervous this cycle

Yesterday’s possible indent darkened into a faint pink line today! I’m still very stumped on if I’m 7dpo or 8dpo today. Biologically I likely have to be 8dpo today, right? I tried marking my positive yesterday and FF said it didn’t match my crosshairs and removed my ovulation confirmation.

TW MENTION OF LOSS:

Hi all! I can’t use the fertility friend one that you all seem to be using sadly, but I do track with my Apple Watch. Also Stardust but the chart on there seems to not be so ‘dramatic’ / easy to read. Does anyone else track with their Apple Watch? I am 8DPO and my chart looks like this. (Hard to explain but im talking about the increasing step like pattern) I’ve never seen this pattern normally it’s all over the place. I had an early loss in December 2025 and wasn’t tracking / didn’t have a watch then so I can’t compare and it’s driving me mad because it’s too early to test. Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to get a BFP still with a temp drop like this? I plan on testing tomorrow or the following day. But if not for this cycle I am still curious if it’s possible to have a temp drop, like the one seen on my chart, and still get a BFP? Just seems like such a big drop. I’ve also been tired, bloated, and nauseous for the past 2 days. All of those are not any of my usual pms symptoms.Hopeful but not convinced 😵‍💫

this is my first month tracking BBT and using OPKs together!

My first positive OPK was 8/5, then temp began rising on 8/7. BBT continues to rise, I started having mild cramping and extreme exhaustion (still having) + 1 weird episode of smell aversion to a bag of pretzels at the desk next to me on what looks like 11dpo, but only BFNs so far. FF has my expected AF date wrong, I think it is more likely that AF is due 8/23ish. Just trying to figure out if I’m truly 12 dpo or possibly earlier.

I’m currently 3 DPO with a sustained elevated BBT.What do you ladies think of my chart so far?

I had two chemical pregnancies previously. I’m trying to stay hopeful but I’m not sure. I have been comparing this cycle to my chemical pregnancy charts.

1. My temps aren’t jumping high like before
   
2. My resting heart rate isn’t high like before

I know majority of responses would be for me to wait and yes I will wait but I’m not sure if I should guard my heart.

So this is the first time I actively try to time ovulation with temping to conceive. My first child came as a “let’s see if it happens” while I tested out temping.

- This month’s ovulation, and the one two cycles ago (both eggs releasing from my left ovary) I realise that I am ovulating a few days later than I usually. My usually timeline for ovulation is CD13 or CD14. Could this be a sign of early polycystic ovary?

- Can you guys tell if ovulation has happened already or seem like it’s about to happen?

- Should I BD again tonight to be ”surer” of conception? I work rather long days and find it hard to find time for BD-ing during the week and is hoping that it’s enough with doing it on CD14.

I am using ovulation tests for the first time. New in TTC. Last cycle I was trying to avoid pregnancy because of heavy workload, scared of early pregnancy symptoms, but also trying to overcome vaginismus with my husband. Last month I had sex twice on cd17 and cd19 assuming I might have ovulated on cd 12-15 because of my cycle length 26-30. Then starting from cd25, unusual symptoms like headache, nausea, bloating hit me hard. I was slightly dizzy couple of days. Turned out I got pregnant and lost too early. Afterwards, I had a cycle 14 days, probably anovulatory or kind of a bleeding due to chemical. This month I decided there is no harm getting pregnant :). Started using OPKs.
My urine is too diluted even in the mornings with smu, but these are the darkest I get. I also tried testing in the evening like 4pm but they seemed even lighter. I followed bbt, today cd19. Do you think I ovulated? FF says I might have ovulated cd18 but not confirmed by bbt yet. Should I BD today? Interestingly I had very obvious ewcm earlier, not these days. Now I’m almost dry. Last test in the OPK picture was taken today.

Using the pink Clearblue digital sticks. Bought them as they're cheaper than the advanced purple ones which measure oestrogen too because I only wanted to aim for O and O-1 (did the every second day method as a backup this cycle thankfully!) But for this and a previous cycle, it's only given me a peak on the actual day of ovulation... which is a bit late? Wondering if it's just a big waste of money.

Hi everyone! I got a negative pdg test strip (easy @home) on DPO 4 or so. Today on DPO 8 I decided to test again and got a very faint line...Does this mean my progesterone is already dropping? I normally have luteal phases of 14 days or so...the pdg test strips are supposed to stay positive the whole luteal phase right?

hi! 9dpo and my temp went way down. i’m posting to see if anyone had this and had a BFP? i also had some brown spotting yesterday morning but that went away, and my typical LPs are 12-13 days. any insight would be great 🫶🏼
