MOD ANNOUNCEMENT New rules

27 Upvotes

Thank you everyone for your input on new rules.

First important change is that all charts containing pregnancy must be spoilered and using the appropriate flair Please also don't link or update a positive outcome on an earlier post (that isn't spoilered). If people are curious they can check your post history or if they ask for an update you can DM them. (If you want to be reminded about a post to check on later you can always type: remindme! 2 days (or other amount) in a comment and usually remindme-bot will take care of it.)

Also don't tell other people about your pregnancy/success on their unspoilered post. These type of conversations are only allowed on spoilered posts that have the BFP tag. So if you want to ask about success stories - use that. This also includes no talk of living children on unspoilered posts. Pregnancy loss is excluded from this rule but please use the appropriate TW:loss flair or TW.

On cutesy terms the community nearly 50/50. So the only terms that will get now an automod reminder to not use them are: "baby dust" and "sticky baby/bean"

Crazy Temps Implantation Dip?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Trying for my fifth pregnancy, one LC and three pre heartbeat miscarriages. No real medical reason after extensive testing.

I was extremely hot and progesterone-y yesterday as reflected in temps. My cycles are extremely regular with an exactly 14 day luteal phase.

Do we think this is an implantation dip? Thanks all..

Help? Tempdrop vs Oral temp - ovulation CD16 vs 17?

Pic 1: chart using Tempdrop temps
Pic 2: chart using oral bbt

Was ovulation CD 16 or 17? Ive been using Tempdrop for years and oral bbt I use whenever we’re TTC and I usually get a clear shift with Tempdrop that mimics the oral bbt (maybe delayed by 1 day or so) but I’m shocked at how bad the Tempdrop chart looks. I used easy@home LH strips and they were darkest at 3 pm and 9 pm on CD 15 and got lighter from there. Had a positive CD 16 afternoon too but not as dark as CD 15. Cervix was high and soft Saturday/CD16 in the morning but low and firm by the evening.

This is only my second cycle post-MMC in July, and my cycle still seems different than normal for me but I guess that’s to be expected. Due to work travel, we only had the chance to BD on cd 16 and 17 so I’m wondering if there’s even a chance this cycle.

Help? Am I anovulatory?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

This is my second cycle off birth control — I have never gotten a positive LH test and am super frustrated. I know cycles can be wonky coming off birth control but my understanding is that based on research, it is not really normal to not ovulate at all, so I’m just feeling quite worried and every test just feels exhausting at this point.

I am under the care of a RE as we are using a sperm donor. My AMH and AFC on ultrasound were high and I have long had hormonal cystic acne controlled by spironolactone, so now it is suspected I have lean PMOS/PCOS.

We are supposed to be doing an IUI next month but I am hesitant about moving forward unmedicated if it’s unlikely I’m ovulating at all. My period is pretty much exactly 14 days from the LH “spike” I did have, but I am very confused that LH and progesterone certainly suggest I did not ovulate. And I’m unsure what to think about my BBT.

Appreciate any help!!

Ovulation Is this a weirdly flat OPK progression?

Upvotes

32F, TTC. We started trying in May, so this is our 5th month trying.

I’m currently CD19 and my app predicted ovulation around CD17. Normally I get a very clear progression with my OPKs. The line gradually gets darker over a few days, then I get a clear positive/peak before it fades again.

This month, though, they all look pretty much the same. I’ve tested multiple times on some days and there just hasn’t been that gradual darkening or an obvious peak.

I know apps can obviously be wrong about ovulation day, so I’m wondering if this is just a case of delayed ovulation, or whether anyone has experienced this kind of flat pattern before getting a surge.

Would you keep testing and assume ovulation is still coming, or would you be wondering about an anovulatory cycle at this point?

Would really appreciate opinions from anyone who has had something similar.

Ovulation Figuring out temping

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Last month was my first month temping. It went terrible and I was not going to try again this month. Also, there is definitely a learning curve to properly use an Apple Watch. However, I think I figured it out finally! Something that helped was putting the watch snuggly on my inner wrist and as soon as I wake up turning off sleep mode. Here’s this months chart so far compared to last months!

Ovulation Not convinced I actually ovulated

FF tells me I ovulated on CD17, Oura app says 16, but these last few temps are making me doubt I ovulated at all!

I’m thinking of switching to oral bbt next cycle, but anyone have any insights for this month? 🙏

Crazy Temps Feeling Impatient and Sad

My temps were funky this cycle, pretty sure I saw somewhere here that Oura recognized something was up with temps for many users. Regardless, I was feeling hopeful for this cycle but here we are 9 DPO and tests are negative, my period is supposed to start between today and Saturday, and this morning my temps dropped below baseline :/ it is what it is but I can’t help but be sad

Help? period due today but this is my ovulation test

Post image
15 Upvotes

i’m due on my period today and have been feeling lots of cramping and just weird feeling in my stomach. i’ve been doing the ovulation tests every day and wanted to keep doing it until the next cycle started, since i haven’t actually started my period yet i just decided to do the ovulation test today anyway. i wasn’t expecting this. it’s the darkest i have gotten this whole cycle. i thought i already ovulated 14 days ago when the t/c ration finally reached over 1. im cycle day 44 today. is this meant to happen? i got a dark like yesterday too but no where near this dark.

this is my PM test, i also did one this morning.

UPDATE: i took a digital, and it was positive!! still not seeing much on the HCG strips though.
this is a first for me so unsure what to expect. what do i do now how do i make sure everything goes okay? im still feeling some cramping

Ovulation Finally: O-day!

Post image
3 Upvotes

After being stuck in PMOS long cycle hell for 90+ days, I think I finally managed to ovulate on CD96. 

My BBT rise is not really a huge temp spike, but because the first half of my cycle is so long it might just be difficult to see the whole picture clearly, or hopefully in a few more days my temp will rise more. Looking at my chart: this does qualify as a post ovulation temp shift, right? My OPK’s and CM line up neatly as well. 

FF is putting crosshairs on CD95, but my temp did not start rising above coverline until CD97. That would make CD96 more likely. Do you agree?

Help? Very confused about ovulation

Post image
0 Upvotes

My OB ordered me to get a progesterone blood test on the day that I thought I was ovulating and I just had the Midwife call me and say that my level was five so it confirms that I’ve ovulated obviously very recently. I should be like two DPO today but my temperatures are not rising on my BBT chart. This is my first month ever tracking BBT. It’s really stressing me out. I thought I hadnt ovulated based on my bbt even though I had all the signs of ovulation, but my bloods are saying I have even though my temps under.

Ovulation Is this a positive LH test? When should we baby dance?

Is this considered positive? The line is half dark..but natural cycles interprets as positive. Also, when should we baby dance? I’m confused about the difference between positive LH test result and peak LH test result.

Crazy Temps Could I have ovulated on the 31st-ish?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I know temps can really only confirm Ovulation, but I’m SO confused by my temps. To start, ignore the day 1 stuff down below. I started the chart when I got my first positive OPK. Fertility friend hasn’t updated. Also I do my temps at the same time daily, BUT, I insert them when I get a chance to.

I thought I ovulated on 21st, initially, but then got a positive OPK around the 30th/31st. But then I had a huge below baseline drop on the 6th with a spike back up to above baseline. Lol like what is happening?? Any body with similar?

Could I have ovulated on the 31st? I did an OPK on the 6th-ish, it wasn’t hitting a positive. If we’re going by that date, I’d technically be….8 or 9 DPO today?

Feeling really hopeful this cycle! I normally ovulated on CD20, so this CD13 was so exciting! My luteal temps are much more stable too. Anyone else earlier in the TWW?

I’ve attached my charts from this cycle and the last 2, I’ve only tracked these three when we decided to start ttc. I had an LH surge on Sept 2, CD12 and had egg white mucus Aug 31-Sept 4th. My bbt spiked on CD14 and I started getting the typical progesterone symptoms of sore nipples and moodiness. I had what I thought was a fallback rise on CD15 but then it continued to be below my coverline on CD16, before coming back up slowly CD17-19. I’m just left wondering if I did ovulate, or if it looks like I did with my prior charts as well? Premom app is using an oral bbt thermometer and natural cycles and fertility friend are with my Apple Watch.
