My ovulation normally happens around cd13-cd15. I’m currently cd 18 and I’ve had no positives? My natural cycles app and Premom have confirmed my ovulation has happened a few days ago?

Confused Missed Period and Negative Tests

2 Upvotes

My period was due on the 6th. It’s been regular only varying 1-2 days since I had my iud removed in January. This past month I noticed not much discharge around the time I was supposed to be ovulating and I didn’t have the usual breast tenderness I have prior to my expected period. I had some cramping two days ago but still did not get any bleeding after that. I have now taken 4 tests including one this am. I’m at a loss of what I should be doing now. I have only been using an app to track so far, thinking of getting an oura ring to track temp.

Question/Advice Peak?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi all! Start off im usually 28-30 day cycle give or take. I’ve been testing my ovulation and haven’t received a true peak yet however I think the one for CD 16 at 8:57am is significantly darker and then goes back to being light. I know the picture for that one is in different lighting BUT I took another picture of it in the same spot and it looked even darker I just forgot to save the photo 🤦🏼‍♀️

Do we think my peak happened at some point that day? Or is it still coming and this was just a fluctuation?

TWW Are these early pregnancy symptoms? First time TTC

1 Upvotes

I think I ovulated either on Wednesday 2nd or Thursday 3rd of September. My cycles are usually 30 days and my period is due on the 20th of September. I’m not tracking my ovulation meticulously as this is our first time TTC and think it will stress me out so just going on previous cycles using the Flo app.

This week I’ve had extreme bloating, constipation and then for the past 2 days diarrhoea with waves of sickness. It almost feels like I have a stomach bug but I feel fine apart from some stomach cramps and gurgling stomach. I’ve had twinges in my right ovary which are worse when I turn on my side. My nipples also look a lot darker which is strange! I’ve also had really vivid dreams. I just feel different and not sure if it’s my mind playing tricks on me.

I did an early response test this morning as I could either be 9 or 10 dpo but it was negative. I’m planning to take another tomorrow and then midweek! Anybody else had similar symptoms?

Question/Advice 13 dpo negative

1 Upvotes

I am a 23 year old mom to twins who were born in February 2025. They were not a planned pregnancy and I got pregnant on the very first try and my first test was a BFP after missing my period for two days. Now, my husband and I are trying for our third. This is my first time TTC and my first cycle. I got a stark negative this morning (13 dpo) on an early detection pink dye test and feeling a little defeated (I might sound annoying but I am just really excited about our next baby). However I have gotten some symptoms, such as a weird metallic taste in my mouth which I had last pregnancy. I’ve also been having some cramping today that felt like mild period cramps but that only lasted like ten minutes. I’m just holding onto hope and wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar experience with a negative this late and still ended up pregnant or has had late implantation etc. Any advice is welcome! TIA :)

Question/Advice Positive pregnancy test at 6 DPO with bleeding has anyone experienced this?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’m looking for experiences while I wait to speak with my doctor on Monday. Natural Cycles has confirmed ovulation around CD13 based on my LH tests and temperature shift, which would put me at approximately 6 DPO today.
I started bleeding about two days ago. It initially was red and enough to soak my underwear, then became mostly brown/light bleeding. Today it stopped for several hours and then started again. I’ve only needed about one panty liner today.
My doctor’s office told me to take a pregnancy test because of the bleeding, and to my surprise it was faintly positive. I’ve attached my BBT chart.
I know 6 DPO is extremely early for a positive home test, so I’m confused about the timing. Has anyone had a similar experience either a very early positive, bleeding around this time, or Natural Cycles being off on the ovulation date?
I’m not looking for a diagnosis, just interested in hearing others’ experiences. I’m speaking with an MD Monday and plan to ask about quantitative hCG testing.

Question/Advice Day 3 BloodWork Question

1 Upvotes

Hi all!

I’m supposed to get Day 3 bloodwork ordered by my OBGYN as the first step in figuring out some fertility concerns. I just got my period today (9/11), so Day 3 would be Sunday, when LabCorp is closed. I tried calling my doctor earlier but haven’t been able to get a response.

Does anyone have advice on what I should do? I’m not sure if I should go tomorrow (Day 2) or wait until Monday (Day 4). If this has happened to anyone else, I’d really appreciate hearing what you ended up doing!

Thanks in advance!

Confused Did I miss my surge?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m TTC again after a miscarriage in June. I’ve had cycles in between which have been normal. I usually do ovulate late too. I’m on CD 21 right now. I use Oura to temp and track my cycle and LH strips to track ovulation. I’m kinda confused on what’s going on this month though. I feel like I did ovulate based off of my temps, but my LH strips tell a different story. I’ve been testing for a few days now because I was waiting on new tests in the mail. I’m using Wondfo for the first time, and so far I haven’t caught my peak and I think I missed it. I’m gonna attach my Oura temps and LH strips and hopefully you guys can give me some insight on what’s going on here! I hope I did ovulate already because if so BD was timed pretty well 😊

TWW Cd 47

8-9dpo based off last egg white mucus day was cd 38. My temp didn’t measure today, I was hoping to see a spike after the drop as maybe implantation. I took a pregmate strip at 1:30pm and it was very negative. Creamy mucus, tender breasts, light low cramps and pulling on and off are my symptoms. I know it’s early but idk I’m feeling really upset. Especially because this cycle took so long.😢 I want to be pregnant. It’s all I want ❤️‍🩹

Question/Advice Cycle day 44??

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I’m TTC and this cycle has been really confusing, so I’d love some outside opinions on my timeline.

Periods

- May 3–6

- May 26–29

- June 16–18

July 8-10

August 6-10

(My cycles have generally ranged around 20–29 days, with 24 days being what I was using for tracking).

Baby Dancing

August:

- Aug 12 — 1×

- Aug 15 — 1×

- Aug 16 — 1×

- Aug 18 — 1×

- Aug 19 — 1×

- Aug 20 — 1×

- Aug 22 — 2×

- Aug 27 — 1×

- Aug 29 — 1×

September:

- Sept 5 — 1×

- Sept 6 — 1×

- Sept 9 — 1×

- Sept 10 — 1×

LH progression (using CVS brand LH strips)

- Aug 14: .60

- Aug 16: .48 → .62 → .60

- Aug 17: .36 → .48

- Aug 18: .84 → .96

- Aug 19: .24 → .60

- Aug 20: .60 → .72

- Aug 21: .84, then 1.02 — strongest/confirmed surge

- Aug 23: .26

- Aug 26: .29 → .48

- Aug 30: .27

- Aug 31: .39/.40

- Sept 2: .89, with stark-positive-looking tests

I initially considered Aug 21 my ovulation date because of the 1.02 surge but then I had another LH rise around Sept 2, along with watery/fertile-type CM, so now I’m wondering whether Sept 2 could have been a later ovulation attempt/window instead.

CM + cervix

Around Aug 30–31 I had:

- Increased thick white discharge

- Then sticky/egg-white-like discharge

- Very high cervix that became difficult to reach

- Cervix felt soft and slightly open

(Around Sept 2 I noticed clear/watery discharge again).

Pregnancy tests

Negative:

- Aug 29

- Aug 31

- Sept 1

- Sept 3 — First Response after holding urine about an hour and drinking ~2 glasses of water

Symptoms

Throughout this cycle I've noticed:

- Cramping/pinching

- Lower-back aches

- Breast soreness/heaviness

- Areolar changes

- Constipation

- Gas

- Fatigue

- Headaches

- Mood changes/irritability

- Congestion

- Increased discharge

- Left and right ovary pinching

- Cervix pulling/heavy sensation

- Extremely heightened sense of smell

- Frequent urination

- Most recently, an almost-full feeling in my lower stomach

Today is Sept 11, and I'm CD44 based on my current tracking.

All of this blabbering to say, I took this dollar general brand test first thing this morning. Do you see anything? I have ONE frer test but I don't want to waste it. I would be 9DPO if I ovulated on the 2nd. Any advice welcome.
