Trigger Warning Just need to have a moment
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 🤦♀️

TWW Early symptoms before positive?
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 !!!

Sad Going on month 6
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. :(

Confused Ovulation Timing and Tracking
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!

Trigger Warning Am I seeing things? Spoiler
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!

Question/Advice Quick question for you all …
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.

Frustrated Is everyone out there getting positives on 9dpo ??
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
