Peaked

So I’ve definitely peaked and it’s now dropping right??

But does it mean I’ve ovulated or it’s still in the time frame to be happening in the next few hours/days

Hey ladies, anyone trying to conceive or have since their little one in 2024?

This is my first time ever tracking my ovulation and I’m not sure it’s right.

As you can see from my photo I finished my period two days ago and I started to test my LH today. The tests are one from this morning and one from now. The app says my level is high and I should start baby dancing cause my peak could be in the next 24hrs.

Is this right? I’ve only just finished my period.

I didn’t track my ovulation the first time as my daughter was a very happy oopsie 😂😂

I’m just not sure if this is right. Any help or advice is much appreciated x

Pregnant??

17dpo today. I have a palfullt long cycle and only ovulated on day 23-24. Based on my lh peak. My period is five days late. Had my hcg bloods done which were 57 on Wednesday.

Photo was taken within the testing window

Anyone else about 6 weeks?

Just found out on Monday and faint lines on the tests aswell as 1-2 weeks on the digital… nervous as the line don’t seem to be getting darker?😭 anyone else have the same? Last period was 7th August but I don’t ovulate till really late on in my cycle so I think I’ve just caught it really early?

Trying for a baby

Hello, this is so random

I don’t really track my ovulation however we recently started trying for baby number 2. I use the app flo and it stated I started my ovulation from the 31st August and finished around 5th. However I don’t know how accurate this is as my cycles over the last few months were quite irregular
35 - may
37 - june
27 - july
32 - august
And this cycle is day 33 now. - September

I am getting my hopes up this month but I am supposedly 12dpo and getting negative tests so I don’t think this is my lucky month unfortunately.

Symptoms wise I started having cramps and that’s it

My usual signs that my period is coming is extremely sore and swollen breasts
Cramps and then usually period starts within the hour. Moody af

ICSI Egg retrieval.

I am on day 9 on the daily stims for egg retrieval. My doc hasn’t given me much hope. I have only one follicle. He has taken a blood test to see if we should continue. Severe case of endometriosis. Very disapppinted.

Has there been anyone with such cases? What have you done? Have you had a baby with one follicle and egg? Please share

How many weeks??

Hey girlies!!

We’ve been trying for a baby for the last 8 months with no luck, and decided to take a pause last month to give myself a chance to reset. And of course I found out a few days ago that I’m pregnant!!!!

Can’t believe it, and still in shock. All my tests have been faint, and I took a digital this morning which confirms 1-2 weeks pregnant. According to my tracking apps, I should be 5 weeks today, so I was expecting my digital to show 2-3 or 3+.

Now because I didn’t do any ovulation testing last month, I don’t actually know when I ovulated. I’m 99% sure I ovulated later this month, because i didn’t have sec during my typical ovulation window, only after. I think I’m around 14/15DPO, but I can’t be 100% sure.

Basically I’m freaking out a bit, as my tests are saying different to the apps and I just wanted a bit of reassurance❤️

Ovulating again?

I’m so confused, I did a lh test this morning which was dark. I’m meant to be 8/9DPO.
Also did a FRER but I can’t see much.

What’s going on?

7dpo honest opinion

I tested so early just for peace of mind and I see this??? Do you see something? If so, aren’t I too early? My mind is everywhere. Advice please!

When to test?

So my cycles usually range from 29 to 33 days. I've had like one or so cycles that were like 34 maybe 35 days. I can't really remember.
Right now it is day 33. I'm probably about 17-18 days past ovulation. Should I wait a few more days? When do you normally consider ot late?
I don't really want to buy a test if I don't have to.
