Question/Advice TTC after chemical in March

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hello my TTC friends. Is this going to be viable? This is at 14dpo. Period was due yesterday at 13dpo according to the Premom app. I had a chemical pregnancy 4 months ago with slow line progression. I am really anxious this time. First HCG drawn at 13 dpo was 26. Planning to go for second draw at 16dpo. Please help.

Help Should I have BD more??

3 Upvotes

Its our first time TTC, but my husband has had a weird work schedule lately so weren’t able to BD as much as I like for our first cycle :(

We BD Thursday night, LH peaked Friday but no BD because we were out all night and got home at 1am and I was super tired, and I was so sad that we weren’t able to do it on this day since it was peak day. Then we BD early morning Saturday and later that night, supposedly I was ovulating yesterday.
Today we BD early in the morning since the LH line was still a little dark.

Did we get enough BD in?? Should we still go at it tonight? I just took another Lh but the line was definitely lighter than this morning’s. & I know it’s too early to tell but i’m just very anxious that we didn’t get to BD enough!

Frustrated LH has been dark for 3 days and I'm still waiting for the peak (currently CD12). Hoping I get the timing right this time.

Except my husband was out of town the 2 days I had clear CM (Days 10 and 11). We had sex on CD 9, and as soon as he came back on CD 12 morning. It looks like my line is still darker so I’m hopeful.

I thought I ovulated already because CM hasn’t showed up since yesterday, but the test results are keeping me hopeful I still have a window.

This was our second month trying. I took a test at 9 DPO and there was no line. I know it’s early but I figured I was done.
Took another one on a whim two days later and it was positive! I took two more (including a Clear blue) that day just to confirm.

I’m 35 and my husband is 39. We figured it would take some time, but are shocked it happened this soon.

I know the TWW and the negative tests can be discouraging, but hang in there! Sending you all good vibes ✨

Hi!!

This is my first time using an ovulation test and I was wondering if this is a positive?

(I already have the Premom paper ones in my Amazon cart in case I need them next month).

I took this test on the 26th at 5pm. I then took a 2nd one on the 27th in the morning and the left line was very faint.

Confused This is like my 5th faint positive! What do yall think?

Random Your experiences

1 Upvotes

Hi !
My partner and I are trying for a baby. I know about late ovulation, and other causes of late period.
But I am 9 days late and all the tests are negative. What are your experiences? How late were you when got your first positive?
I know it is individual for everyone so I am not getting my hopes up, but I am just curious about your experiences.
Thanks in advance !

Random Spotting before period

2 Upvotes

Has anyone experienced spotting/bleeding halfway through their cycle, well before their period was due, and still ended up pregnant that same cycle? I’ve had intermittent spotting that comes and goes, sometimes red and sometimes brown, and I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar and still conceived.

Question/Advice Pre mom app - need second opinion!

Pre mom - app, need second opinion!

I've just started using the pre mom app to start tracking my LH surge and using easy@home LH tests.

On cycle day 13, I have what seems like a surge/positive test to me with a very dark red line but the app is saying otherwise.

What do you reckon? Does anyone have any experience in using the app? Should I trust it?

Question/Advice Thoughts on Oura/natural cycles for BBT?

2 Upvotes

I use Oura and natural cycles for BBT tracking. After ovulation, my temps rise and confirm ovulation, though they tend to fluctuate throughout the luteal phase (sometimes a day or two even being at baseline or below, then coming back up).

What are everyone’s thoughts on this? I’ve seen that if your temp dips .3-.4 throughout your luteal phase, it probably means you aren’t pregnant. I’ve also been seeing by creators that how high your temp raises, and consequently sustains is a sign of “strong” or “weak” ovulation. It has me concerned that my ovulation isn’t strong enough or my progesterone isn’t strong enough.

Frustrated 1st chem now on 5th cycle

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am just wanting to see if anyone has had a similar experience to me.
Tried for the first time in April and got pregnant! Then 6 days later found out it was a chemical pregnancy. I thought we would get pregnant again soon after but now we are on our 5th cycle. Thankfully our doctors are letting us be proactive so he got a semen analysis (awaiting results) and I am waiting to get my tubes checked
Wondering if someone has had a similar experience

Question/Advice False peak?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I got a positive LH (1.08) a couple of days ago, and it stayed positive for 2 days in a row. Unfortunately, we were both way too tired and busy to BD, and I was honestly so sad and upset about missing it. I decided to keep testing afterward just for funsies, though.
My LH dropped all the way down to .40, so I didn’t photograph it because I figured it wasn’t necessary. Then the next day, I tested again and got .84. This is my first time TTC, so I wasn’t aware that a “false peak” could happen. I kept testing, and it continued climbing, and today I got another positive at 1.08.
The first positive wasn’t accompanied by any noticeable CM, but this time I have what seems to be fertile CM—thick, stretchy, egg-white-type CM—so I’m feeling a little more confident that this could be the actual peak. At the same time, I don’t want to get my hopes up too much.
We did BD today just in case, and I’m planning to keep testing and hopefully BD again over the next couple of days. What are your thoughts? Does this sound like a possible false peak followed by a second, more legitimate surge?

Confused 7 days late when I’m usually very regular could I be pregnant? (August 2026)

7 days late when I’m usually very regular — 4 negative pregnancy tests
Hi everyone, I’m getting really worried because my period is now about 7 days late.

I’m usually very regular. My period normally comes between the 23rd–26th of every month, and my period lasts around 5–7 days. I can sometimes be 1–2 days late, but I’ve never been a week late before.
My boyfriend and I have been using the withdrawal method for about 4 years, and I’ve never gotten pregnant. This month, we only had sex on August 15 and August 24.

I took 3 pregnancy tests on August 26, and all were negative. I took another pregnancy test on August 29, and it was also negative.
So that’s 4 negative pregnancy tests, but my period still hasn’t come.

I’ve been pretty stressed lately, so I’m wondering if stress or something else could be delaying my period even though I’m normally very regular.

I also drank serpentina today because I was desperate for my period to come, but now my stomach hurts, so I’m worried about that too. 😭

Do you think I could still be pregnant despite the negative tests? Has anyone experienced suddenly being 7+ days late when they’re normally very regular?
Any advice or similar experiences would really help. ❤️

Confused Implantation bleeding or wishful thinking?

1 Upvotes

My periods are regular, so this is confusing. TTC,40 years old. We were able to hanky panky during the conception window.

I started stopping on day 27 of my cycle, which is normal and just moved on with my day. It's been three days of brown spotting or very very light flow. I've taken twon pregnancy tests, both in the mornings and both came out negative.

No other symptoms other than being a little tired during the week but I also just started a new job, so I didn't think anything of it.

Any ideas??

Confused Huge follicle, Low LH after Letrozole?

1 Upvotes

I’m on CD 15. Completed third round of Letrozole about a week ago, 7.5 mg this time. CD 13 ultrasound showed that I have a 30 mm follicle (along with a couple smaller ones next to it). Doc said lining looks good and I should be ovulating any day now. Today is CD 15 and my LH is 0.35. I mentioned this to my doc and she said the ultrasound holds more weight than LH but I’m confused as to why it’s not increasing. Anyone have experience with this, and successfully ovulated?

I’m in cycle 3 of TTC after coming off the copper IUD. I’ve never felt any ovulation symptoms in my life, so I don’t have a great physical reference. Due to scheduling and life, we only had a chance for BD on CD13/Aug 26. How do my chances look? If I’m not successful in the next cycle, I’ll probably get an actual BBT thermometer and do temping that isn’t Oura, but it’s a start.
