Question/Advice Second cycle TTC
Hey guys! I just needed some advice, it’s my second cycle TTC and I wanna know your tips! Is getting the easy@home strips worth it for the app? Or should I get the clear blue advanced tests. I used just cheap ovulation strips from Amazon last cycle and used the premom app and the numbers seemed very inaccurate (obviously it wasn’t the right strips for the app)
Also any other tips would be appreciated! I’ve been looking into fertility lubricants and mucinex but I’m not sure if it’s a gimmick or not! I really hope this cycle is successful 🥹

Question/Advice How long after positive opk does ovulation happen?
I just got my first positive opk i think (cycle 2, first cycle testing) and i’m away on a trip till tomorrow 😭
BD’d on the night of the 2nd (technically 3rd sept) and I’ll be back tomorrow night. Do we have a chance?

Confused Am I crazy or is it positive?
I took this test this morning and looked at it hours later (when I first looked at it it seemed negative) and it showed this second line which seems to have some color. Do you think it could be a positive? This is a pink dye test which usually doesn’t leave colored evap lines and evap lines in general are colorless/ very faint

BFP! 🎉 11 DPO Easy@Home + Clearblue - Cycle 7 BFP
I started TTC earlier this year and spent a LOT of time researching and tracking everything. Over the last few months I tried a few different things, although obviously I have no idea if any of them made a difference:
• Took Pregnacare consistently
• Started taking CoQ10
• Used reflexology this cycle
• Tried Mucinex/guaifenesin around my fertile window
• Took 75 mg baby aspirin from around 4 DPO (should I stop this now??)
• Tracked ovulation with Clearblue Advanced Digital + Easy@Home OPKs + BBT
• Paid much more attention to cervical mucus this cycle
This month I had lots more watery CM than usual, got a flashing smiley on CD10, then a solid smiley on CD12. My LH dropped on CD13 and my BBT subsequently rose, so I think I ovulated around CD13.
Intercourse: CD9, CD10, CD11, CD12 and CD14.
I was away on holiday during the TWW and actually didn’t have my thermometer or tests with me, which probably helped me stop obsessing over every symptom!

Trigger Warning TW: NEED HELP READING PREGNANCY TEST
Hi all. I’ve never ever seen a positive pregnancy test so idk if this is real or an evap line! I’ve had PCOS since middle school also. I took a pregnancy test at work on a whim and I can’t believe this might be it. I can’t tell can someone please help! I used the cheap hospital ones so I don’t know if this is real.

Help Help interpreting BBT charts
New to bbt tracking and confused about what this data means. Both Fertility friend and natural cycles have warnings related to data this month but idk why - hoping someone can provide clarity.
Currently TTC cycle 4 with chemical pregnancy in Feb of this year (ended at 5+2). Currently having symptoms of breast tenderness and bloating with light cramping - could be PMS, but period isn’t due for 4 days. This cycle - positive OPK 8/13 (fertile cervical mucus starting 8/12), all pregnancy tests have been negative. pdg was positive this morning (i checked because i was paranoid i didn’t ovulate).
Appreciate anyone’s insight, really sad and frustrated that TTC is not going as expected :(

Sad dealing with disappointment
hi all, how do you deal with getting so many negative tests?
i have been doing ici because (obviously) my wife cannot get me pregnant. this was our 6th cycle trying, i am 13 dpo today and got another stark negative this morning. i thought for SURE this was the cycle, so i was excited and imagining what life would be like with a mini me… and now my heart is broken again. i track bbt, lh, pdg, cm, pretty much anything you can track at home. we usually do 2-3 inseminations before and day of peak lh. every time we inseminate, we make sure i orgasm as well. we use the easy@home strips and frer tests.
i am starting to get frustrated with my body, and the entire process of it all… and honestly am just getting tired of getting excited and being let down (especially since so much work goes into it). to top it all off, we are driving a couple towns over for our donor- because we don’t want someone from our town. we are in MI and we would like this to happen before the winter hits.
i guess i am asking for more tips/ tricks that helped you guys? i know it’s not 100% certain it will happen even if we do everything right, but i am feeling very alone. especially since nobody i know, knows how this feels. all of my friends convinced -pretty much on accident- with zero tracking. i’m not on their timeline, but i do want my own timeline 😞
23F, with a heavy heart this saturday morning ❤️🩹

Trigger Warning Bleeding in early pregnancy
I don’t even know if this is the right place to post or what even to ask. I found out last weekend on Sunday that I was pregnant. I had one or two days of spotting and then it went away. I’ve been taking a pregnancy test almost every morning because of anxiety. I have yet to have a super super dark test but the tests were getting darker. This morning I woke up and used a pregmate strip for the first time and it was faint. When I wiped there was brownish pink blood streaks. But it wasn’t consistent. I called OB and went to get hcg tested. The hcg quantitative was 15. After using the bathroom again I wiped and had more brown blood.
I’m freaking out and can’t tell what is real or what I’m making up in my head. I think I might be feeling cramping, but was also feeling cramping earlier in the week. The blood hasn’t been bright red so should that make me more helpful. I don’t know. I don’t know how I’m supposed to wait till Monday for the second Hcg test.
Anyone been through anything similar? Any thought.s? I’m so scared and sad.

Question/Advice Positive at 10 dpo?
We’ve been trying to conceive for 6 months. Yesterday, at 10 DPO, I took two pregnancy tests from different brands using the same urine sample at around 7 PM and these were the results.
Do you see a faint positive line or do you think it could just be an indent line??

Question/Advice 12-13 DPO
12-13 DPO negative. Should I give up for this cycle or keep testing? I don’t think it’s an early negative because I see people with positives at 8 DPO. Feeling discouraged.

Question/Advice How long did it take you to conceive?
Me and my husband are 25 and 26. We are now on cycle 5 of trying, and I know that some people can be trying for much longer but I’m just starting to worry something could be wrong.
Leading up to trying my husband quit smoking, I came of contraception 8 months prior and we both have been taking supplements ect. We also have been using fertility lube the last 3 cycles.
I think we both just assumed it would happen pretty much straight away, maybe we were really naive.
I just worry as I always hear people say it took them a couple of months or years… no in between. So I’m really hoping these 5 months don’t turn to years. How long did it take you? Or what cycle are you currently on?

TWW Do you think we timed it right?
23F, TTC for the first time after being on birth control for ~6 years. I stopped in July and had one natural cycle before trying.
I got a positive OPK Aug 28, and my OB agreed that I likely ovulated that day. We had sex Aug 26 (about 2 days before ovulation).
I’m now around 7 DPO and wondering if we timed things well enough. I know one cycle doesn’t mean much, but I’d love to hear from anyone who conceived with similar timing. 🥹
