Hi all. So me and my bf work very demanding jobs to which he works away a lot so TTC was always going to be harder some months when he's away

We have been TTC since May time we had a chemical whilst on holiday in July and now we are in the two week wait, my LH surge was CD 17, my periods are like clockwork and it hasn't come yet CD 31 is today. I wasn't expecting my period the day my app predicted based in the later LH Surge but now it should be?

I took an early detection last night negative, I took a normal pregnancy test this morning also negative

Symptoms include : cramping, lower back pain, frequently urinating, one night of vivid dreams, alittle emotional and anxious, stuffy nose that's not amounted to any illness (not my usual pms symptoms)

Today I woke with a bad headache and nausea to the point I was nearly vomiting

I'm just confused and upset because I think I'm out this cycle but my symptoms are making me confused

Has anyone had similar, just looking for some clarity

Hi all, as the title says I’m now 2 days without my period when I usually have a very regular cycle. Tested last night with a FRER and I got a positive line but it was after the time window so I disregarded it. Tested again this morning and it was a negative. Is there any chance I’m pregnant and just not showing positives yet or am I wasting my time hoping ?

I’m just venting because this just breaks my heart.

TTC on the second cycle, so I know, it doesn’t happen right away, but it still hurts you know. Ovulated on CD 21-22, I’m on CD 34 and still no AF. I’ve tested with early pregnancy test in the first morning urine, still BFN. Based on everything I’ve read from people’s experience, it’s like 1 out of 10 experience, they found they’re pregnant later on, but mostly it’s a negative.

I’m trying for the second time right now. I have my first kiddo, but he just happened to us and we didn’t plan it so I don’t even have any experience of what it’s like to just know in the first month, is it normal to have low beta hcg for these tests to be hard to detect.. I found out I was pregnant with him by the second month, I don’t really track my cycle or maybe I had implantation bleeding and didn’t notice. But now, this is just frustrating. Everyone I see if you’re negative with these early test, most likely that’s true and it’s so frustrating. It makes me feel like I’m not cut out to do this tracking this cause my stress level is just high. Anyway, gonna try to make an appointment with my doctor this next week 😭

Cycle 6 - 10dpo and tested negative this evening :/ been having light cramps throughout the day. Is there any hope after a negative 10dpo? I thought that each cycle that passed it would get a bit easier but I’m struggling more mentally each cycle 😕

I am so confused what is going on with my body 😭. So on Sunday October 11 I got several positive pregnancy tests and confirmed again on Monday. However, I also started bleeding very heavily on Monday. It was so heavy I was changing every 3 hours, which is completely abnormal for me. There was also lots of clotting. That stopped on Thursday. Yesterday I started experiencing sharp cramping on one side of my stomach. It’s so painful I can barely turn over in bed while I’m sleeping. I don’t know if it’s my body returning to ovulation so soon after the chemical, which I read is common, or if maybe it’s something else? Also, I have pcos and I take inositol to help regulate my hormones and ovulation. I was away and forgot it at home so didn’t take it for two days. Maybe that is the cause of the pain? I’m just so confused. My dr says I wasn’t pregnant and that this was just a heavy period but then why did I get 10+ positive tests? And now this pain?? 😭

My period was supposed to start yesterday (October 27). I got my first fain positive on 10dpo (October 24). My beta came out at 3.77 yesterday and I'm thinking If I should even bother do another beta tomorrow or just wait for my period to start. Today's strip is negative.

It's my first chemical. Had a D&C in May. I was not hopeful this cycle even though my ovulation came a little earlier. I came down with a cold and felt the worst smack dab on my ovulation day. I got shocked when that strip had a second line but turns out it's not successful after all.

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?

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.

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:)

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

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? 💗

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!

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

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 !!!

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!

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. :(
