Hi!! I’m currently 11 DPO and my tests looks like that. Is there a line or am I crazy?

What’s going on that everyone on Reddit seem to be getting positives on 9dpo. I tested today per clearblue app and got negative, and got really bummed thinking well this cycle is a bust for me. Do I keep testing every day? This is a lot, I am very tired of peering in cups and on sticks half the month.

Am I crazy for feeling disheartened? Kinda wanna give up and just not test anymore for anything. It’s my birthday tomorrow and I don’t know if I can deal with more disappointments in the day.

Also looks like my cycle is very textbook, 28 days with ovulation on CD 14 so idk why I don’t have textbook early positive arghhhhhh

I drew a blood test for HcG, I wanna know … Is it 25 AND above for me to be pregnant?! Or is it above 25 for me to be pregnant?! I’m so lost, dazed & confused at the moment.

FF says 8, Premom says 9. Side note that I quit temping once I confirm ovulation each month, just to give myself a bit of a mental health break from data gathering.

Any chart experts out there?

hello!

my husband and i have been TTC for a year. 3 months ago i got my progesterone drawn at 7dpo and it was 2.3. cycle after that i started letrozole 2.5 and got a progesterone drawn at 7dpo. it was 4.6. this month we did 5 of letrozole and progesterone suppositories starting at 2dpo. got my labs drawn at 7dpo and it was 23.2! went to see my fertility doctor yesterday and she was very pleased with my levels. she thinks we could be pregnant now. i don’t wanna get my hopes up but anyone else have a similar experience?

PS im 12dpo today:)

Long-time lurker, first-time poster here… I’m 9 or 10 DPO based on a previous LH surge. I think I see a line but I’m not sure. What do you think? Also excuse my dusty lamp!

TW MENTION OF LOSS

I hate how many overlapping PMS symptoms mix with possible pregnancy. My husband (29) and I (27) have been trying for a baby for a year almost exactly. I had a loss in June (was only 5 weeks) and had a D&C in September due to a suspected polyp. We started trying again this month (after being cleared by dr) and I honestly think I \*COULD\* be pregnant...emphasis on could. Im not able to test yet and it is driving me up a flippin wall. I just want to know so I can talk with my dr and get a plan going...Ive had 2 losses and have no "medical" reason for them. I want to be pregnant, but Im also terrified because neither one of my pregnancies made it beyond 6 weeks. Im supposed to start my period tomorrow and each day is just crawling by. I just want to either take a positive test or hurry up and have my period so I can stop this mental agony. The reason I can't also test yet is because I think I ovulated later this month (symptoms and ended up having a small ovarian cyst rupture late in my cycle). I know it is a couple days at most until I may start....but every moment that passes has me wanting to cry with anxiety and anticipation. Ive also been having weird symptoms and I keep psyching myself out knowing full well it could just be hormone changes. Also, the fact that it can take a couple cycles before its normal again after a D&C so I very well could be late and still test negative. I feel pitiful. Things could be so much worse. Im just so impatient and wish I could just know right now. I had so much trauma with this most recent loss. Im just a mess 🤦‍♀️

It turned out that my prolactin was high — 699 mIU/L, which can sometimes interfere with ovulation (and in my case, folliculometry confirmed that I didn’t ovulate at all).
I was prescribed cabergoline (Dostinex), 0.5 mg once a week for 8 weeks, and I’ve completed the course. I had my prolactin tested again today, and it dropped all the way down to 17.5 mIU/L!
I’m going to see my doctor tomorrow, but I still wanted to ask here: is this too low? For those of you who took medication to lower your prolactin, how long did it take for you to conceive? How many cycles after starting treatment did you get your BFP? 💗

Wishing everyone else luck and baby dust as we head into the last few months before the new year. Fingers crossed we’ll have a positive test under the tree this year✨🫶🏼

This past Sunday was supposed to be my first ovulation after having my IUD removed. It was a copper one so my cycle should have pretty much stayed the same from what I was told. Over the past six months or so though, I was preparing and learning what I could. And the last two months especially, I starting testing LH and tracking my BBT just so I had an idea of my windows.

Last month and the month prior I didn't get a positive LH test but the levels were really high. My BBT (through my Oura Ring) showed "ovulation". So I thought I was in a good place.

But this month, the one month I was actually able to concieve, I didn't get as high of an LH test and my BBT never rose.

I'm 31 and I know that this takes time and I am only two days past my window. But I am little discouraged being that everything seemed positive until the time came.

I am also keeping my TTC journey to just myself and my partner right now. I don't really want the extra pressure and questions, so maybe I am just looking for someone to tell me to chill out.

We are on our 6th cycle trying and have been tracking ovulating through LH strips. My cycle is usually 25/26 days, and my strips have been showing I am likely ovulating around CD 13/14. However, I had my 6 month OB appointment and she said based on my cycle length I am probably ovulating earlier around CD 11, despite the LH strips. Has anyone else’s doctor told them not to follow the LH strips but rather cycle length predictions? While it’s not wildly off I’m worried we’ve been timing it wrong and now I don’t have confidence in either!

Just here to admit to myself that at the beginning of our TTC I was fine waiting, and just until a month or two ago I was still happy to wait, but literally in the last month or two, I’ve seen like five people announce pregnancy… Strong Christian faith, so I’m not depressed or anything, but definitely looking at others with pure happiness and still wondering why not me. :(

Hey guys I was just curious what your symptoms were before you tested positive? I feel different this time and I’m really hoping I get a positive finally. I’ve been trying for awhile. I used to track with ovulation strips but it got really stressful after so many negative results that I just stopped doing that and just baby danced as much as possible without tracking. I did try the Frida conception cup this time so maybe that helped ! Let me know, I’d love to know everyone else’s experience !!!

9DPO. Anyone see what I see?

I’m 2 years into my TTC journey and I want to rant about something quickly because I feel social media has once again pissed me off lol.

I can’t stand when a woman is posting on social media regarding their infertility for the last 2,3,4,5 years and someone decides that’s the post they’re going to comment their very clearly positive pregnancy test with the caption along the lines of “does anyone else see it or is it just line eyes” like there aren’t line eyes forums or other platforms for that kind of thing. It is so inconsiderate and frustrating and depressing.

Congratulations but commenting your positive pregnant test that can be seen from space on a woman struggling with infertility is so insanely socially unaware and ignorant it’s not even funny, and I see it ALL THE TIME.

Ok rant over thank you!
