Potentially a sticky situation…

Hey! I’m 21 with a nearly 5m old little boy. Friday 7th me and my fiancé did the deed and I started ovulating on Saturday 9th (we both thought we’d be “safe” considering I had literally just finished my period. What are the chances of pregnancy? My partner says he isn’t sure if he’d be ready for another, which I totally understand but we’ve had 3 losses previously and I don’t think I could ever bring myself to have an ab*rtion for many reasons x

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

Missing my surge

Have i missed my surge? having cramps today, it’s fustrating me , we’re having sex every day incase we don’t catch it, im thinking oh it will happen tomorrow then it never does, it keeps going up and down one minute i feel positive the next i dont. am i even going to ovulate? this is my first month ttc
temp was elevated this morning, chart in comments

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)
