Have I timed my deed correctly?

Me and my husband did the deed on the 7th. I meant to ovulate on the 9th. Do I still have a chance?

New to tracking BBT

Is this normal for the temp to stay high after ovulation? I’m usually due on in 5 days. I thought it would go back down after so not sure if I’ve got a fever or something?! (Also yes, I have a very enthusiastic husband 🙄😂❤️)

Is it possible to ovulate two days after period?

My ovulation test said my peak was yesterday. I finished my cycle on Monday. Isn't it too soon to be ovulating?

Drained

I got diagnosed with pcos after I had my son and was sent for a scan by my gp recently to get checked over and they said I had small follicles in both of my ovaries and my left ovary measured 20.9cc in volume and my right measured 8.4 in volume … I’m still so confused as the doctors are useless and didn’t explain ha...

See anything?

I’m either 12DPO or 8DPO. I got two positive OPK’s this cycle so not sure when I actually ovulated. But I do know I am CD 26, I’m on 10 day months courses of progesterone and take my last pill of this months course this Friday so my period is due between Saturday and Tuesday. (Most likely would be Monday). I started...

So confused....am I heading in the right direction?

I've been tracking OV on the premom app for the first time. I just literally stopped AF today, which was meant to be 5 days and was 4 days like last month. Says I'm due to ovulate on the 8th, getting high readings now. Hopefully, this is the start 🙏 bit worried as there was a dip in the last one 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ will…

Ovulation pain

Does ovulation pain mean about to ovulate? Or does it mean you’ve already released the egg?

Ovulation?

Hi all, this is my first month tracking my ovulation. I am currently CD12 with all my apps saying ovulation is due today. I have started having EWCM today but my tests aren’t getting darker. I had one darker test on CD9, do we think that could have been my peak? Ill keep testing over the next few days. Thanks❤️

So freaking confused and worried I miss my peak...

OK so my AF has been all out of wack since having a loss in November 2022, I'll post pics of dates for reference. Dates have varied between 20 day cycle up to 35 day cycle but mostly between 25- 30 which is normal but they so unregular for me, used to be so regular before then. So I've now been testing my ovulation...

Ovulation

My ovulation peak is in 5 days according to my Flo app, I had sex today, is the likely hood low or high that I could get pregnant? I know sperm can live in for 5 days but from my understanding that was unlikely.
