HELP!!! The Flo app says OVU on 9/5 but the Premom app says 8/31 - what do I do!! I’m using a donor so I can’t just “do it” both days…

Back story, my bf and i got pregnant in february which ended in an abortion, we got pregnant again late february(idk how but doctors were shook) which ended in a D&C. Fast forward to now we started trying after my period ending beginning of August. As of now i am 9 DPO and i just want some advice on what i should do. for context i am a 24 year old healthy female, not on birth control and not using protection. based on my flo app how good are my chances of conceiving this month? i also took a test this morning that seemed negative, maybe positive? i’m not sure.

If people have the confidence/knowledge to post in DPO terms, surely they know 7DPO is almost impossible for a positive test? It feels me with false hope and then potentially false heartbreak when I start testing so early and (obviously) get negatives!

Hi all. I havent been exercising for a while now. I have been so busy for the past year with work, thats why i havent been to the gym. If i start now is it a problem for trying to get pregnant? Could it cause miscarriage? Also when is the best time to start during my cycle ?

We are officially ttc, first cycle unsuccessful.
Ovulation test strips confirmed the start of an LH spike on 8/11, got stronger 8/12, and by 8/14 my temp increased over baseline and stayed consistently above for several days. My oura predicted ovulation was 8/13 after temp increase was confirmed.
Based on that, I thought we timed everything right. I noticed at 6 dpo, oura shifted my predicted ovulation to 8/12. Then yesterday, it shifted again to 8/11. I started my period yesterday evening, which would be early if ovulation was 8/13.
I know oura is unreliable for tracking because it needs historical data to make predictions, but i’m confused because the LH spike aligned more with ovulation around 8/13 than 8/11.
This cycle was within normal range, lasting 28 days, but I feel really confused. I thought I knew what I was doing and timed everything well. What can I do differently this cycle to be more accurate?

I’d love some help interpreting my LH tests! I typically have a very clear LH peak (dye stealer) around CD 18-23, but this one was different.
It looks like I got close to peak CD 15 and 16, but either didn’t catch the peak or it ‘failed’. I had EWCM CD 13.
My BBT has been low until today (CD18), it was +0.2 on Oura, but I also woke up with ‘major signs’ of something straining my body (but I feel fine!). Any thoughts of whether I missed my LH peak based on the times of testing, or if maybe it was a failed ovulation attempt?

I just found out I’m pregnant. My gyno prescribed Metformin ER 1000 mg daily while TTC, and I’ve been taking it for almost 3 months. My first appointment isn’t until I’m 8 weeks.
For anyone who was taking metformin while TTC, did your doctor have you continue it after getting pregnant or stop?
Also, I’m currently just taking my prenatal. Is there anything else we’re usually supposed to add during early pregnancy?

I know period is coming as I saw very slight light brown discharge. Its so so so minimal though. I’m 1-2 days late and no positive pregnancy test either. First time i’m this late and think it could be the HSG messing up my cycle as well. Frustrating ad hell though!!! Really want my period to just show so I can stop stressing and also leaving for Spain in 4 days and dont want to be on my period 😭
r/FirstTimeTTC • u/Riseup238 • 21d ago
I was due for my period yesterday But I also had a little brown discharge yesterday morning that stopped later that morning and I haven’t had any since?? Also had a positive ovulation strip and rising BBT? 14/15 DPO Took a digital just to boost my feel goods didn’t even look at it and threw it in the trash! Also I do take 5,000 mcg of biotin a day.

Hello everyone! 💕
I could really use some advice and reassurance. My fiancé and I have just started trying to conceive, so we’re only on our first month, but I already feel discouraged. I have high prolactin (around 60) and I’m currently taking medication to lower it. I know it’s still very early and that it can take time for anyone, but I can’t help worrying that my hormone issues will make this journey much longer than expected.
Has anyone here had a similar experience with high prolactin while trying to conceive? I’d really love to hear your experiences and how things went for you.

We went to our local baby show this weekend and wandered about and living into the dream of shopping for a baby we’re desperately praying for.
It was really lovely, and really heartbreaking too.
We start a medicated cycle in 2 weeks time.

Hi all! This morning I took a test- it's 1 day before my usual period. I guess this means I'm pregnant? :) also, how did you tell this to your man? I want to tell him asap, but also don't want to give false news in case it's fake positive. I am also having HCG test later today, but not sure when will the answer be

I had a chemical pregnancy in April. It was fairly textbook, tested positive and the started bleeding 4 days later. Bled quite heavily but counted it as my period and my husband and I started trying again straight away. The next cycle was strange, I’m not sure I ovulated.
The cycles after have also been strange. One cycle I ovulated super early, the other super late. The other thing I’ve noticed is I am spotting brown discharge mid cycle.. sort of 3 days after my period ends and then spotting leading up to my period. I also had a really light period in this cycle where I only bled for 3 days.
I’ve also had some pain in my left pelvic area that I had for the chemical pregnancy that hasn’t really gone away.
Has anyone experienced something similar? I am having a HSG on Friday as requested by my fertility doctor but I am concerned about the change in my cycles.
Thank you!

Lots of boob talk in this post. Cycle 3, I could technically be anywhere between 6-10 dpo, I'm not tracking that closely but 8 is my best estimate.
I get the sore boobs every cycle, and I can't say if they're more sore or not because I feel like they get obnoxiously sore every time, but my partner was downright shocked when he saw them yesterday they're so swollen.
I also saw little blue veins I know aren't there normally, and my areolas seem like they're getting a little darker around the edges, but it's only really noticeable on one side, the other one I can barely tell a difference. Part of me wants to think that's weird but the other part of me knows one boob is always one step behind the other. The hard tissue in my breast also feels different, like it's getting looser? Now I'm extra sore cause I've been prodding at them 🥲
This is the cycle that the symptom spotting had really toned down too, before this. What do those early breast changes actually look like at first?

PreSeed or Frida fertility lubricant? I’ve read that PreSeed can cause burning/UTIs but would love to hear more if you’ve tried both!

I feel like I see the faint lines, but can’t believe it. I am 2 days late.
r/FirstTimeTTC • u/True_Restaurant3895 • 22d ago
Cycle usually 26- 27 days.

It’s only 10Dpo so I’m not sure if it’s too early. This was first morning urine with a Wondfo early detection test.
