Confused!

My cycles are regularly 28 days. I had sex on CD12. I had a positive ovulation test on CD23. Negative pregnancy test on CD24 (possibly 11dpo). Negative ovulation test on CD24. Did I just ovulate late this month?

Could I have missed my peak?

Could I have missed my peak? Today I’ve had stretchy discharge so I’ve taken a LH Test and it’s come back 0.08. I’m cycle day 15. This is my first cycle since miscarriage mid Feb. I haven’t used any lh strips this cycle but thought I would do one today as having stretchy discharge. Could I have possibly missed it?

Pregnancy chances

Had unprotected sex while ovulating used pull out method only one time we had sex
Period was due yesterday ( on the Flo app I. Know not 100% accurate)
I took a pregnancy test for the past 4 days including today in the morning all definitely negative
I think the absolute stress of this incident since it happened has caused me stress so is it likely it’s just stress delaying my period?

Chemical

I think I’m having a chemical or I ovulated later than I think I’m not sure. I wasn’t tracking ovulation

Short Luteal Phase

Every cycle since I started TTC, my period has come 8-9 days post ovulation. I got my darkest positive ovulation test on March 26th, and my period came today. Is the short luteal phase a fertility red flag??

Idk what to do

So I don’t know how far along I am but I know I ovulated mar 20 and I’m pregnant but my test lines are not getting darker they are still pretty light what should I do

Ovulation have never felt this good.

First ovulation after giving birth in June 2025,it feels like something just came back into my body.anyone with similar experience?

Long irregular cycles

Anyone else find the long irregular cycles with PCOS frustrating? Currently CD21with no LH peak in sight.

Always get a very strong LH peak when ovulating.

Recent ultrasound shows PCO

I had an ultrasound on Tuesday and the results on my app say PCO on my left ovary.

I have normal periods that are regular my only symptom that I have been getting is brown egg white discharge once a month mid cycle which is why I went to see my GP.

I was googling last night and I’m scared that it will prevent me from getting pregnant again as we have been trying the last 3/4 months.

Can anyone share similar or positive outcomes? 😭🫶🏼

Ovulation Help!

I’m confused about my ovulation timing…

I had a solid smile on the clear blue tests last Monday, BUT my Apple Watch which I’ve just started wearing said ovulation on Wednesday. We BD sun, mon, tue.

The temp has pushed my predicted period on the Flo app back to a 31 day cycle rather than the usual 28 day cycle.

Which one should I go by for pregnancy testing / is more accurate in general!?

Debating a test today because it’s 5 days before my period on a 28 day cycle.

What do yall think?

I took this test at 9:30 PM (EST) last night and just thought to post this here to gain some insight, so according to the Femometer app, I’m 9-10 days late for my period and I’m on CD38, which my normal cycle days range anywhere from 29-31 days and my periods last 5-6 days (last period was 02/22/2026- 02/26/2026. I feel as though I may have ovulated late, but not sure! My period was expected to start 03/21/2026 (the day I got married) but it didn’t show up!

Here’s my symptoms so far from the past couple of days;

🩸 Menstrual & Hormonal Symptoms
*Late Period: Currently 9 days past your expected start date (Cycle Day 38).

*Abnormal Bleeding: 4–5 days of "scant" spotting (began 03/26); started as blush pink, turned bright red, then settled into dark brownish-red/tan before nearly disappearing today.

*Extreme Breast/Nipple Sensitivity: Described as "extreme," heavy, and painful when brushed against.

*Montgomery Glands: Small, goosebump-like bumps appearing on both areolas.

*Visible Veins: Prominent blue veins appearing on the areolas of both breasts.

*Bust Increase: A measurable 2.5-inch increase in chest size (from 38.5" to 41").

*Watery Discharge: A new "gush" or "watery" sensation today (Day 38), which the Femometer app calls "ovulation" but is consistent with leukorrhea.

⚖️ Weight & Fluid Shifts (Edema)
*Significant Weight Fluctuations: Swung from 131.9 lbs down to 127.9 lbs, and spiked back up to 131.2 lbs today (a 2.2-lb jump since this morning).

*Pitting Edema (Swelling): Fingers so swollen that removing rings was difficult; deep horizontal indents left by no-show socks on your feet and ankles.

*Lower Extremity Sensations: Feet feeling puffy, "tingly," and like fluid was "rushing" to them; visible veins and redness in feet after a shower.

*Slow Skin Reset: Pressing on a toe takes several moments for the skin tone to return to normal.

💥 Pain & Physical Sensations
*Mid-to-Lower Back Pain: A constant dull ache.

*Left-Sided "Twinges": Pulsating sensation and warmth near the left hip/pelvic area (reported earlier, currently subsided).

*Pelvic "Fullness": A feeling of being "full to bursting" or bloated in the lower abdomen; described as "soft yet firm."

*Dull Headache/Groggy Head: A heavy, dull ache in your head accompanied by a "leaden" feeling in your body.

*"Head Rush": A pressure sensation rushing to your nose and forehead when leaning over.

🧪 Digestive & Systemic Symptoms
*Moderate Gastritis Flare-up: Stomach pain and diarrhea (triggered by dark soda/Pepsi).

*Acid Reflux Spikes: Sudden surges of reflux, especially after eating ramen or McDonald's.

*Extreme Hunger & Thirst: Feeling significantly more hungry than usual and drinking 84+ oz of fluid today.

*Digestive Slowdown: No bowel movement today; upper abdomen distended and measuring 5 inches larger than two weeks ago (38.5").

*Nasal/Ear Congestion: Feeling "clogged" or "stuffy" in the nose and ears without having a cold or runny nose.

*Extreme Fatigue & Insomnia: Feeling exhausted "like lead" but struggling with sleep.

Sudden Dry Skin: Face suddenly becoming dry and tight after recently being oily.

What do yall think? I don’t think there’s anything on the test, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to get other opinions!

Hi!

Hi! I have pcos, and when I take lh tests I get my peak very suddenly and the next day it disappears straight away I have been testing this month and have had a stronger than usual line, and I’m wondering if I could have actually peaked that night?

Peak day

Hi, girls im trying to comceive since 6 months and ive took a ovulation test i am advise to intercourse on peak ovulation day. Can someone please advice me what is the best time to have intercourse ?

5 days before ovulation

Any ladies ever concieved (or know of anyone who has) by having sex once 5 days before ovulation? Looking for hope x

Feeling down about ovulation

I stopped taking the pill last month and still haven’t ovulated. I know it’s not been long but I’m just getting really down testing every day and getting nothing - like the second line is basically non-existent so I’m not even getting close 😥

I haven’t had a period in years due to contraception, so need to test every day as I have no idea at all when I’ll ovulate, but it’s just daily disappointment and I’m not even at the pregnancy test stage yet!

I’m 6 weeks I think I might be five I always ovulate late. This is the first month I didn’t check. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Any moms cramping? Besides that no other symptoms. This is my second kid and I had no symptoms with my first so this is all new to me if this is normal or not Internet says it’s normal, but I want to see if any other moms who are dealing with this right now.

Lh

When do you think I will ovulate? Have I missed my peak? So confused 😕 my highest reading was this morning but still classed as 'low' on premom. Any advice please? X

Period…

My period returned about 3 months ago but it’s so unpredictable😭 My tracker app says 5 days late… but yesterday and today I’ve had ovulation pain/aching and lots of clear discharge (TMI sorry!)
I don’t want to be buying a pregnancy test every month🤣🤣
I’m breastfeeding, so it makes sense that my hormones are just all over the place…
Just seems weird to be ovulating now!!

Peak day but burned out :(

We’ve been TTC for a while now. However this is only the second cycle that I am tracking LH/ovulation. A couple months ago I had a health issue which threw off my cycle a little bit. So I wasn’t certain if my LH would have a high peak this month. As you can see from my attached chart, my husband and I kept at it and had sex in the days leading up to CD14 which is when I thought I would ovulate, however here I am on CD18 with a dye stealer ovulation test (second photo attached), but with an incredibly burned out husband since we’ve had sex for 2 days in a row after only 1 day break following 4 more days of sex. But today is officially ovulation day and he is so tired the poor thing :( He is a free spirit and likes to keeps things spontaneous but has been such a team player with trying to time sex this cycle. It’s just come to a point where it feels cruel of me to ask him to do it again tonight. What would you do? Should we just count on the sperm from the last two days? Is there a point in having sex tomorrow in the hopes of catching the egg?
