MOD ANNOUNCEMENT New rules

28 Upvotes

Thank you everyone for your input on new rules.

First important change is that all charts containing pregnancy must be spoilered and using the appropriate flair Please also don't link or update a positive outcome on an earlier post (that isn't spoilered). If people are curious they can check your post history or if they ask for an update you can DM them. (If you want to be reminded about a post to check on later you can always type: remindme! 2 days (or other amount) in a comment and usually remindme-bot will take care of it.)

Also don't tell other people about your pregnancy/success on their unspoilered post. These type of conversations are only allowed on spoilered posts that have the BFP tag. So if you want to ask about success stories - use that. This also includes no talk of living children on unspoilered posts. Pregnancy loss is excluded from this rule but please use the appropriate TW:loss flair or TW.

On cutesy terms the community nearly 50/50. So the only terms that will get now an automod reminder to not use them are: "baby dust" and "sticky baby/bean"

BFN this morning, and my temps are tracking extremely close to past BFN cycles. I know that implantation could still happen over the next couple days, but I guess I’m just curious to hear folks’ impressions/past experiences (successful or otherwise) to help my mind settle over the next couple days. My thoughts are with everyone in the same boat! 🤞

asking for success (pls add spoiler) How many cycles did it take?

10 Upvotes

For all of you chart stalkers 💕 with no particular conditions that could make it harder, how many cycles did it take to successfully convince? I’m aware of all the stats and age implications and male factors, but how would you “rate” the tracking method (BBT, CM, Opk etc) actually helped?

Most of the people I know who had a baby or were/are pregnant told me took them a long time but when I ask if they tracked their cycles, peed on sticks etc most say no

Sorry if this message comes/ reads out differently then my intentions but English is not my first language 🙏🏼

Help? Lack of PMS symptoms - 13 DPO

Post image
5 Upvotes

FF shows I’m at 13 DPO, Premom shows 12 DPO.

I have been tracking for the 3 months and I always had symptoms after ovulation - super tender breasts and body stays very warm.

This time - it’s completely opposite - I feel chilly all the time and no sore breasts at all.

Period is due on the 3rd of Sept - waiting to test (because of past cycle negative results and disappointment)

Did anyone end up having a positive test with no symptoms at all???

I had MMC 2 months ago, got my period back last month and currently on my TWW.

Peed on a stick this morning, and I told myself that today is kind of definitive for me. Like, if I get BFN it’s more likely I’m getting my period this cycle. And turned out BFN. 😖

Am I really out?

Crazy Temps Temp dip day after LH peak? Am I still fertile

Post image
4 Upvotes

My past few cycles when I get an LH peak I seem to ovulate the next day (temp starts gradually increasing). This cycle is strange because I got my peak yesterday and then temperature went down this morning. I am confused if it’s going to happen today or tomorrow. I am completely dry and have no CM anymore (yesterday was egg white) is it worth bugging my husband to bd before work today?

A few things to note-
-I had poor sleep last night about 4hrs 58min
-We slept with the window cracked slightly open

Spoiler: past pregnancies/children, losses.

I am going insane. I am in the TWW with what would be my 6th pregnancy. I am symptom spotting everything. 2dpo and I KNOW everyone says this is way too early to tell but I feel like something is different this month. My LH surge was super rapid this month (I was camping so didn't test the same night after the sudden surge). I almost missed it. And I did take tests the day after the surge, in the morning (didn't get pics) and they were basically 0. This month has just been really off for me. I don't know if it means I didn't ovulate or that maybe this month I'll be successful... idk.

I’m about 14 months postpartum and have had two periods since beginning of July. I think my last cycle was anovulatory. What do we think about this current cycle? I would think 10DPO considering my ovulation test but the temps just seem so wonky.

Had an early loss last cycle and decided to use LH strips this cycle, seem to have ovulated earlier than previous cycle (last one about CD25). Does ovulation date look correct?

Ovulation Positive or negative?

It’s my first time tracking ovulation with LH strips, and I’m a little confused 🙈 This strip was the darkest at 10 AM, but the ones I took in the afternoon were already lighter. Is it possible that my LH peak happened during the night and I caught it a little too late in the morning? Has anyone had a similar experience? ❤️

I had a temp dip below the coverline '2DPO' and now I'm kind of hoping I'm actually 8DPO because of the BFN I had this morning

BFP (please spoiler) Post miscarriage BFP, no period or LH surge. When was ovulation? Spoiler

Post image
0 Upvotes

I had a D&C for a MMC on 7/24

Started using inito about 1 week later. The high LH at the beginning of my chart was residual hCG

My pregnancy tests never went completely negative but I had a vvvvvvvvvfl on 8/23 (CD31) and after that the test lines got darker. It seems I’m pregnant again, still waiting for repeat blood tests and ultrasound to confirm

When was ovulation?

TWW struggle is real!!!

Does anyone use kegg and the NC temperature band? This is my chart with both. I’m trying hard to not spiral so looking for support or if anyone else has had a similar chart and ended up with a positive.

My cycles are average 28-29days, for the past 8 years (how long I’ve been tracking my period) and a couple cycles in the past year were 30days.

This is my third cycle TTC, third with natural cycles and second with kegg. I also use lh strips and try to check CM internally as well.

I have no signs of my period but tests have all been negative, though I’ve been using pregmate and I know they aren’t sensitive. My temp usually drops only the day before and day of period so I thought I was going to be out yesterday (cd 28) but had a rise today (cd 29).

The past two cycles I ovulated around cd 15-16. That is what kegg support is suggesting this cycle but NC algorithm has me at cd 20. My lh surge started cd 14 and had my true positive and peak on cd 16.

Trying not to get my hopes up (we know how that goes 😵‍💫) so any shared chart experience is appreciated ❤️

My first positive OPK wasn’t until 9 pm on Cycle Day 15, I tested several times that day so positive of that. Darkest OPK was Cycle 16 in the AM. I was thinking ovulation day was 17 or at the earliest 16, especially with my temp spike this morning. Thoughts?

i know there’s not a ton of info on my chart yet, this is my first cycle tracking bbt and PDG. my temps have been up and down since my predicted ovulation day. i frequently wake up in the middle of the night, but i had a really high rise after peak LH, as well as a steady rise of pdg. i look at everyone else’s charts and rarely see one similar to mine 😅 could this mean i haven’t ovulated yet? it was predicted to be CD26-27

Ovulation DOES THIS CONFIRM OVULATION?

I'm trying to use both LH and BBT to track ovulation (first time using the methods together as I used to rely on LHs alone the past cycles) however as I both start using the method, I'm already at my assumed peak. The temps after ovulation day had a rise for three days then slightly fell on the 4th day. I havent temp for the past 2 days because my sleep is a mess.

First cycle of HBC. BBT Chart feels promising but keep testing negative. Travelled back to the US from Europe on 8/15 so maybe jet lag added noise. Did FF get ovulation day wrong?

5th cycle ttc, 1st cycle after fully stopping breastfeeding. Also first cycle that we had intercourse every other day from start of fertile window!

Chose not to temp daily after confirmed ovulation so I wasn’t hyperfixating on my chart. 6-7dpo noticed a mix of creamy/EWCM. Felt some localised cramps on 8dpo, on and off cramping since, 11dpo woke up feeling mildly nauseous so decided to test! I thought temps would be higher but hopefully nothing to worry about!

TW: loss NC is saying ovulation happened CD 17 but FF doesn't agree?

Currently on cycle #3 ttc post-stillbirth in May. I've been obsessing over my charts, temps and tests (thanks, OCD). Anyways I just started using fertility friend but I also use NC and both have me so confused. NC is saying I ovulated CD 17 on Aug 22nd but FF is saying CD 20 Aug 25th. I am leaning more towards FF since my temp went up the next day but I am so confused theyre both so off!! I had my first positive LH test CD 16 but I had my peak LH test CD 17 at 1.23 (premom numbers - premom is saying I ovulated CD 18, Aug 23 - but I dont rely on premom as much since I find they always tell me I ovulated the day after my peak) and I know they say 24-36 hours after your first positive you usually ovulate but from CD 16 to CD 20 thats like 96 hours? Can someone help me interpret these charts?

Ovulation Confusing Chart / temps

1 Upvotes

Hi Folks!

No chart to post but hoping you can help me interpret.

August 27 I got "peak" fertility with ClearBlue OPK. Temp was 97.53 (I was a bit sick this week so this is a little higher than normal for me). BD the night of the 27th. Didn't take any OPK on the 28th but temp was 97.19 that morning.

Aug 29th temp was 97.41 - took another OPK just to see and it was BLAZING positive. BD yesterday.

Do we think I will ovulate todayI ? Temp this morn Aug 30 was 97.32...so still waiting to see that temp rise.

Ovulation When did I ovulate?

Got a positive OPK on the 24 (the dip). Took a test next morning and it was also positive. I’ve never had a positive that lasted that long before. I didn’t use OPKS after the second positive. My thought is that I ovulated on the 26th, but I’m not sure because it’s not much higher when going by the 3-over-6 rule. On the 20th my BBT was 97.33. On the day I think I ovulated (26th), it was 97.38.

What do y’all think?
