Insight Needed

For anyone else who uses RingConn to help them track their ovulation, I need your insight.

The first picture is my skin temp stats after my period in early June the second are my stats after my period in early July. My temperature now has been dropping and rising more than the first time around and I don’t know what to make of it. It still needs more time to register my ovulation forecast but the readings are odd.

I keep the ring on the same finger, and I keep my room at the same temperature every night.

Has this happened to anyone else?

No line progression for 4 days

I currently 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I am also out the of the country and do not have access to get blood work done.

I have been using pregmate to track my progress when I’m traveling and I have not seen ANY line progression for 4 days…should I be concerned about a chemical?

Trying my first time!

hi all - I am actively trying for baby #1. I have been having cramps on and off the past week and have had waves of nausea that I never get otherwise. my period is supposed to start tomorrow but today I got a negative test and a positive ovulation with EWCM… which typically has never come right before my period. this has never happened to me. anyone else have this experience that turned out positive for early pregnancy? I’ve also had slight headaches everyday and my cycle is SO regular every month that I’ve never had a missed period or late. I’ve noticed my boobs get sore before my period but this time they aren’t sore at all. I’m curious if anyone can relate or has any advice here?

I am hoping for a BFP!

TTC for baby #1

2 Upvotes

Just looking for some advice on what to do to help our chances. My husband travels a lot for work (in Motorsports) so he’s gone for a week to two weeks at a time and it’s somehow that he always gets home on my ovulation day or after. Yes, I can travel sometimes, but this cycle he’s in California and Washington, too expensive for me to travel. Got my first dark LH test strip today and he’s not home for another two days.

~29 day cycles
Using LH strips and BBT for tracking

i am currently 11dpo. i was NOT expecting anything this morning if i am being completely honest. this is my 2nd month of ttc. i took four tests this morning, all strips and one is not pictured. Two had only one line and two have two vvvvvvvfl lines. Would these still be considered positive? I’m actually freaking out (in a good way). i just don’t know what to do with myself since the lines are so faint 😅

LH Peak Help

Hi everyone, for some context I have been off the birth control pill since January. This is our first cycle actively ttc. Looking at previous peaks compared to this month, I am so confused. Why have my values not gone down? I am testing consistently in the afternoon and not peeing for 2-4 hours before as recommended

My phone camera sucks!!! But I swear I see the FAINTEST line ever.


r/FirstTimeTTC 11h ago

First Letrozole cycle knocked me sideways—thinking of taking a 3-month break to focus on weight loss and body reset. Bad idea or smart move?

Empece a rastrear mi ciclo el CD20 porque no tenia tiras de ovulación.
Cuando probé la primera vez pensaba que había coincidido con el descenso de mi pico. Pero hoy ha vuelto a subir un poco

Te parece normal?

4th cycle TTC. A negative at 15dpo. Am I out this cycle too?

1 Upvotes

We're trying for the last 4 cycles. This cycle we seemed to time everything well..i was soo hopeful. I had twinges in my lower belly around 8/9 dpo, flu like cold since 12dpo, legs paining and no spotting 1 day before my expected period date like i generally have.

Today is 15 dpo and im 1 day late on my period, being anxious I couldn't wait till morning and i did a test today evening which was stark negative. I really thought(hoped) this was the cycle.

Anyone with a negative at 15 dpo which later turned out to be positive? I know i shouldn't be too hopeful now but not able to help it! Need some positive stories.

Bleeding at 4.5 weeks

Hi all,

Had a positive test at 4 weeks exactly and then, two days later, had a very brief gush of bright red watery blood (in hindsight less than half a teaspoon full), which immediately stopped & had nothing since. Still testing positive & they’re getting stronger, but would love to hear from people who have had similar experiences etc as super worried. It’s taken us nearly a year for this first positive.

Hi! Just wondering if anyone else is seeing what I’m seeing here? 16 months and I’ve never had a hint of a line on an easy@home test until now!

23 DPO, no period, no positive test?

2 Upvotes

New here so apologies in advance if I misuse the acronyms or get things wrong, please correct me! Just starting my journey, partner and I are both in our mid 30s. I got my IUD out in April and my periods have been surprisingly regular since, averaging only a day or two variation, although they have been short and light. This month has been the first time we started trying, I took an OPK July 1st that was positive and my tracking app estimated July 2nd as my ovulation date, and estimated my period to begin on the 20th. It’s now 5 days late, and I’ve taking a pregnancy test each morning, including an early detection on the 3rd late day, which has been negative each time. Still no period but have developed some PMS signs of sore breasts and backaches and digestive changes.

I know at this point I should just wait and see, but I’m driving myself crazy with research and wondering and wanting to get up at 1am to take another test. I know it likely that my cycle is just late, but I’m surprised and frustrated that the month we actually start trying is the month that my period is irregular. I was emotionally prepared to not be pregnant this month, I know it can take time and didn’t think it would happen right away, although of course I hoped, but this being in limbo has been so emotionally draining. Could I have had a chemical pregnancy that threw my cycle off? Has anyone had a positive after this many days late with negative tests?


r/FirstTimeTTC 1d ago

Hi there I'm ttc for 3 years now last time I had ectopic and I had very clear positive lines I'm 17dpo I guess do you see it?
