Period ??? How to calculate?

Do you count the days you spot before your period based on how long it last? Or just the heavy flow? I’ve been spotting since Saturday but it finally got heavy today.

Feeling deflated

12 DPO today… took 3 tests and thought I maybe saw a faint line on the cheap blue dye test, but FRER and FR digital both negative 😢 I was so sure about this cycle. Feel like I’ve been having some of the same symptoms from my two prior pregnancies… really thought it was double rainbow month. Pictures in comments

Ovulation

Hey everyone, Me and my partner have decided we want to start trying for a baby later this year so I decided to come off the combined pill in April to give my body some time to readjust, I had my first period about 3 weeks ago and according to my pre mom app I’m supposed to be ovulating this week but my ovulation t...

Early ovulation?

I am 2 years post partum and only just started getting a period back as I am still breast feeding. In April I had my first cycle… had it for a day.. then spotted the next very lightly.. then spotted a little more the next day. From April to May my cycle was like 37 days (my longest ever) before I got my period again...

Ovulation testing

Hi all, I’m quite new to ovulation testing and this is the first time I’ve tested quite consistently and not just the odd test. Is this looking okay? Thanks in advance 🥰

Giving up on trying

Been trying for a few months now and I’m just giving up “trying” my cycle has gone from always being 28 days to the last 2 months being 36 days so I’m always 5 days late and getting my hopes up not sure why it’s happening but I’m thinking now all my ovulation dates are not correct because I’m late all the time

Too much baby dancing?

Ovulated on Saturday morning. Hubby has low counts and I understand more often is better to improve quality (which makes no sense to me haha). The clinic just says to do it as much as you can. I’m worried starting 9 days before ovulation reserves won’t be any good (it was delayed longer than I thought, usually we wo...

Am I Ovulating?

Had a baby April 2023 (was having no periods before baby) , no periods back yet. Had a positive clear blue ovulation test in May. But not pregnant it seems.. have been using lh strips but can't see a line at all. Only very slightly the first 2 tests, now nothing! Am I just not ovulating? Google seems to think pregn...

Different temp readings - Gro Egg vs vTech

Help! My Gro Egg is reading a couple of degrees less than our monitor - which one should I trust? I’ve been going with the gro-egg as we used that before she went into her own room and she’s been fine. I am a bit worried though because it’s a lower reading and I don’t want my LO to overheat 😩

Confused

So me and my partner are sort of TTC baby #2, I’m not ovulation testing and just going with the flow to avoid stress as my last cycle lasted 39 days. Anyway, AF showed up today on day 29 so seems like my cycles have gone back to normal for me. However we did the deed around 3/4 days BEFORE my predicted ovulation day...

LH Testing

Hi, This is my LH testing track for this cycle! I’m just wondering what you do once you’ve got your peak and your LH has dropped. Do you stop testing or keep testing till AF shows up if it does? I heard as well not sure how true it is but even if you have a peak this doesn’t mean that you have ovulated it could ...

Two LH surges?

I had an LH surge a few days ago, so both me and my app thought I would have ovulated yesterday. BUT my temperature wasn’t that much higher today so I decided to take another LH pee test and it came back positive again? I’m so confused. Has anyone had this happen to them before? Look at my BBT chart, my LH is the ...

Negative ovulation test 2 days before apparent ovulation date

I have sticky cervical mucus… (Ew that word) so I’m surprised the test was so negative, like really faint. Could it be a dud test or could I be ovulating later?
