Holiday period delay?

So I’m currently abroad and 3 days late. Ovulation happened over a week ago and we are actively trying and tracking. Google says travelling will commonly cause period delay because it can delay ovulation but I ovulated before travelling so it’s not that. Anyone else experienced period delay at the end of TWW because
Of being on holiday??

Testing

my cycle is every 31 days. My last period was 23rd July so 12 days ago. I normally ovulate around day 17/18. So I know I haven’t ovulated yet but can I start testing today?

I’m around 10dpo and have just tested

My period isn’t due for another 5-6 days though. Anybody see a vvvv fl?? I go away tomorrow on a hen do…chat gpt for once actually says they think they see something 🤣

Ovulated later than I thought

Line eyes? Help!!!

10dpo

Can anyone see the faint line or is it just me this is also my temps period due today ovulated later than expected

Ovulation tests help

Can someone tell me why the below is classed as low? I saw that line show up pretty much the same colours and thought oh I must be ovulating?

Am I wrong? Can someone please explain how to use these correctly

Am I going crazy or do we see a line?

Im around 9 or 10dpo, have the worst cramps and bloating the last 2 days which have subsided today. Just taken this test at 5pm tonight. Period due anytime between tomorrow and Sunday (25-28D cycles).

Thanks ladies xx

8/9 DPO.. could it be?

Unsure on ovulation date, either late on the 20th or early 21st. 2 years trying to conceive baby no 2, and had an early MC in April. Really wasn’t expecting anything this month.

However I can see the start of a line, can others see it? (Photo quality isn’t the best)

Premom ovulation test no peak

Going by the strips, does it look like I had my peak but it didn’t show on the app? When would you suggest i ovulated? Premom says 26 but that’s super low and Flo suggests 24th!

CD & ovulation

what’s everyone’s cycle length and when do they ovulate?

Pregnant again?

Husband says he can’t see any second line but I can! Panicking whilst downing water for a digital test. I’m due my period tomorrow, I also have PCOS so it’s hard to tell when I have ovulated. I’ll post my strip test for my current 14 month old in the comments, they look the same to me?

Has anyone else experienced secondary infertility?

We have been officially diagnosed with secondary fertility. We’ve been trying to conceive our third (and most likely) final baby. It’s been over year and still nothing…

I’ve had a few chemical pregnancies. Were I got a very faint positive and then eventually got my period.

In contrast my oldest and second born are only 17 months apart 😅 So I was pregnant by the time my oldest was 8 month old.

We wanted to have our kids close in age. As someone with a big age gap with my siblings this was important to me.

We’ve been tracking my ovulation with strips and have talked to my obgyn and done tests. They truly have no idea why this is happening to us.

And as if it’s not bad enough… I’ve been getting more phantom baby kicks and still tests are negative💔

Apps?

Hey guys please What apps do people use that is the best for tracking ovulation and ttc?

Thanks

Been trying for a few months, do people recommend tracking ovulation? Any tips never done it before

My little boy was luckily conceived first time which I am soooo greatful for, this time seems to be abit of a different story. Would love to know any tips and tricks. Is it worth getting ovulation tests, which ones and how do i do them? Or anything that helps try to convince?
I also have an underactive thyroid, but this is stable. So doctors said I should be able to conceive okay now, I’m so nervous about pregnancy with this. Which I didn’t have before in my last pregnancy, but apparently thousands of women do it. I would love so much for my little one to has a sibling.

Thanks so much for any help!
Sending positive vibes to everyone on this page 🩵

New to testing

I’m just trying to see if recent weight loss has helped me with ovulation I have never seen ‘high’ before, does this mean i would most likely ovulate tomorrow?
