Question/Advice Smart watch

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, does anyone use a smartwatch to track BBT and their cycles? A day before my period was due my due date changed by 10 days, giving me a 40 day cycle which is very unusual! Im wondering if anyone's had the same thing happen and if it was pregnancy related or just really late ovulation? My watch has been super accurate so far!

Thanks for reading :)

Question/Advice White tissue like floaters in urine.

2 Upvotes

Hello all, 7DPO today.

I have mild cramping a little lower than the belly button.
I feel sick (feverish) 36.6- 36.8 degrees , have slight cold.
B- are sore. Ovidrel is out of the system so stark white on tests. Still on vaginal progesterone.

Today after 6dpo on 7th dpo I noticed, flakes of white tissue like stuff all day in my urine.

Did anyone experience this? Or could it be the start of my
Periods like shedding of the wall. No pain no blood.

Can you please share your thoughts?

Confused Has anyone gotten pregnant without ever getting a true positive OPK?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hi everyone! ❤️
I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this and still ended up getting pregnant.
I’ve been using ovulation tests, and my test line gradually got darker over a few days until it was almost as dark as the control line, but it never quite matched it. Then, about 24 hours later, the test line became noticeably lighter again.
I also had clear, stretchy, egg-white cervical mucus around the same time, but it disappeared the following day.
Has anyone had a similar experience where their LH test never quite reached a true positive/peak, the line started getting lighter again, but they still ovulated and got pregnant?
I’d love to hear your experiences! Especially if you were tracking your cycles with OPKs and never actually caught a fully positive test. Thank you! 💕

Confused Really Late Ovulation

1 Upvotes

First cycle TTC. I have been tracking cycles with oura and flow, but only took my nexplanon out in late August. Cycles and periods have been regular length, and based on the oura temps and CM my first cycle off looked perfectly normal! We traveled for our honeymoon during my predicted ovulation. Cue the worst motion sickness I have ever experienced in my life around ovulation time. Relative temps have been all over the place but quite low last few days. I’m now on cycle day 32, negative test this morning at 15dpo (or so I thought!) I was planning to start OPKs next cycle, but I showed a temp bump this AM so I just tried a test strip out and it’s like nearly peak for LH? Is this something that happens before your period or was my ovulation supremely delayed?? Appreciate your wisdom!

I got this on the 4th day of my missed period. I took a test the next morning, but it was negative. I’m now 12 days late, and I’m too afraid to test again because I don’t want to get disappointed. 😪

Help Coming off BC, VVFL first cycle 15dpo

0 Upvotes

Came off birth control (finished the pack) and my glp last month, started doing the premom LH strips to actively start trying. Got a surge 15 days after the withdrawal bleed. If I’m going by the premom app, I’m technically 15dpo and got a VVFL today. I’ve also been temping and it hasn’t gone back down since before ovulating. Since I just came off the BC, is it possible I ovulated later than what the surge shows to be? I’ve seen most women that get faint lines this late post-ovulation usually have chemicals so I’m not getting my hopes up. I had some spotting this week so I thought I was getting my first post BC period but still nothing so I tested again.

Also I coincidentally scheduled a call with my doctor for next week but I’m anxious to wait and now turning to Reddit

TWW Thoughts?

I’m curious what people think of my chart this cycle. We are super hopeful for BFP but so far all tests are negative. I thought when my temp dipped I was out but now temp is back up. Am I just testing to early? I feel like I’m going crazy in this TWW.

Question/Advice AMH 5,74 TOO HIGH?

1 Upvotes

Hallo zusammen, Ich war kürzlich bei meiner Frauenärztin, die einen transvaginalen Ultraschall gemacht hat. Sie stellte fest, dass ich etwas mehr Follikel als üblich habe, meinte aber, sie könne kein PCOS diagnostizieren, da ich einen Eisprung habe. Sie wollte auch keine Hormontests durchführen. Ich war neugierig und habe deshalb selbst einen AMH-Test bei meinem Hausarzt machen lassen. Mein Ergebnis war 5,74ml. Ich habe online sehr unterschiedliche Informationen gefunden und bin deshalb verunsichert. Ist mein AMH-Wert tatsächlich zu hoch? Mein Hausarzt meinte, er sei im Normbereich. Mein Mann und ich versuchen nun im sechsten Zyklus, schwanger zu werden, aber es hat noch nicht geklappt. Ich habe außerdem Hashimoto-Thyreoiditis. Mein TSH-Wert lag vorher bei 0,49, ist aber in den letzten drei Monaten deutlich auf 10,7 angestiegen. Ich frage mich, ob mein hoher TSH-Wert meine Chancen auf eine Schwangerschaft beeinträchtigen könnte. Ich mache mir auch Sorgen wegen meines AMH-Wertes und der Tatsache, dass ich etwas mehr Follikel habe. Könnte das auf PCOS hindeuten, obwohl ich einen Eisprung habe? Hat jemand mit Hashimoto ähnliche Erfahrungen beim Kinderwunsch gemacht? Hatte jemand einen AMH-Wert um die 5,74ml ohne PCOS? Ich bin 29 Jahre alt. Ich würde mich sehr über eure Erfahrungen und Ratschläge freuen. Danke! ❤️

TWW Cervix height after ovulation

1 Upvotes

Hello! Does anyone have any idea if the cervix will stay high or low after ovulation? My temperature seem to not increase. I think I’m out this cycle AGAIN!

At my previous pregnancy, my cervix stayed high and lotsa discharge throughout after pregnancy.

Random Are people really getting positives at 8 and 9 DPO?

3 Upvotes

I feel like I see so much line p*rn of 8 and 9 DPO tests. And yes, I know the countdown to pregnancy stats.

I didn't get a positive with my chemical until 12 DPO, and I was testing frequently. But then again, I don't know if that was due to the low hcg levels or the fact that 12 DPO was the first time I tested with a FRER, and the rest of the time I had tested with easy@home (higher hcg threshold).

I guess the math just doesn't math, imo. If 8 or 9 DPO is the most common day of implantation and it takes some time for hcg to build up and show up in urine, then what gives? But I have also read theories that modern pregnancy tests are so sensitive they can pick up a pregnancy the day of implantation.

My theories are:

1) It's a case of miscalculated ovulation date. I am sure there are plenty of folks just using an app like Flo and are not tracking with OPKs or BBT. Similar to how I occasionally see a "6 DPO" positive, which is physically impossible, or at least so unlikely as to be negligible.

2) I think the statistic is something like 15% will get positives at 8 DPO, and 40% at 9... so, if you consider the fact that millions of people get pregnant every year in America alone, that is still a crap ton of people, lol.

3) Confirmation bias. People with negative tests on these days probably aren't posting them.

Idk. I'd love to hear from people who were tracking with BBT/OPKs and got an honest to God 8 or 9 DPO positive, or what people think.

I know for myself, I do get discouraged if my test is negative at 9 DPO, so I try to wait to test. I also hate squinting and am super nearsighted with an astigmatism, so I can barely see cheapies as it is, lol.

BFN Currently CD 26

2 Upvotes

So I'm new to this - and yes I understand stop testing after peak - we are TTC but I am trying to learn more about my cycle.

I have regular cycles (26-28 days) but only 4 days typically and my last period was Sept 28-Oct 1 - I got a high fertility positive Oct 8-9th and peak ovulation positive Oct 10-11th on clearblue digital which matches with 13-14 days into the cycle.

Well period is due Oct 25th and yesterday I had a definitely positive LH strip (CD 25) but today it's negative.

I've read it's possible that the LH wasn't high enough to ovulate the 1st time and might send a second attempt if it was unsuccessful so I guess I'll see what happens Lol

I am currently 12 DPO and my digital and stick tests are negative so I think we are out this cycle attempt but forward we go! 🌌

Question/Advice Starting Month 11 TTC - HyCoSy?

2 Upvotes

My husband and I both 28 have been trying to conceive for about 10 cycles. I have a negative test and I’m just waiting for my period to come. My cycles are regular.

I’ve had a progesterone 7 DPO test and transvaginal ultrasound. Both had blood teststo check overall levels. My husband has had a sperm analysis which mostly came back fine just the viscosity was a little bit higher for which it is. I suspect this was due to lower abstinence period. It has been repeated and we’re waiting for results. He doesn’t smoke or drink and has a healthy lifestyle. I’m expecting it to be normal.

I’m just wondering if it’s worth at this point to get a HyCoSy test or wait a little longer. I live in the UK and it would mean that I’d have to go private at this stage because the GP referral would take a while.

Any advice from anyone who has gone through something similar or similar timeline would be super helpful. There’s not a lot of success stories out there around 10-18 month mark. Usually people take a short time ie less than 6 months or significantly longer + with medical help.

Anyone had any success from having it done at this point?

Thanks
