New to ttc. Advice please

So i stopped taking my pill on 11th november, i haven’t bled atal since stopping, i took my first ovulation test on friday ( will add pic ) someone else told me it would indicate i would be ovulating in the next day or so, doing more yesterday & today they are even fainter, does this mean i have missed it for this month or i havent ovulated atal?
I am so very new to all of this, as i say, since stopping cerazette i haven’t had a period yet. Thank you

I stopped Cerazette in September and it took just over 4 weeks for me to have a period. You’re still quite early days and I think they say it can take up to 3 months to come back ☺️

Have you been testing twice a day? If you have had negatives this whole time, I think it's unlikely that you ovulated.

The relative darkness of the "test" line (the one on the left) doesn't mean much. It's normal for it to vary in darkness while being a true negative, so don't worry about how someone said you were going to ovulate soon but didn't.

I recommend measuring your basal body temperature (using a normal thermometer, or a special BBT one, or a wearable like Tempdrop). Thats the best way to check whether you actually ovulated or not.

I’m in the same situation as you. Stopped taking cerazette the day before you, and haven’t had any bleeding. Getting period pains a few days a week though 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think it's unlikely you've missed it. I know it's super frustrating but it can take time. It took me three months to ovulate after I came off the pill but then we got pregnant first time, so try not to worry!

It can take a little while for your cycles to return to normal, lovely. Don't stress, it'll be fine x

I use the premom app and it takes pics of the ovulation tests and reads them for you. It takes all the guesswork out of it. Your test looks like the level is lower so it could be you're getting close to it or could mean its after ovulation. Test every day and upload it on premom and it'll tell you :)

I honestly struggled with these then went to the digital one. It would show a smiley face in the strongest day and something else two days before and after. Some even track it for you using an app, they are super fancy now.
Have you had any mild cramping in between cycles?
I also strongly suggest you start taking prenatals so that aspect is all set and ready ago and is built into your routine :)
It us 14 month's ( but I had been using the copper iud ) to conceive our first. I get trh frustration, but the best thing you can do ( as my hubby puts it ) is relax and enjoy the practice ;)
Also ask about getting blood work done to check for iron and such. I'm not sure if that can help, but having low iron during pregnancy sucks so it's best to get that lined up before hand if needed.
And sperm can survive up to 5 days, so get some lovin through out your cycle ;)
Breath, hydrate, and enjoy the fun ❤

Hey If you want to private message me, I have a ton of tips for you! I was TTC for two years and once I started doing things the “right way” I got pregnant after six months!

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Help pls

I'm 7 weeks pp. Not had sex or even done anything but my tests have come back positive. I wouldnt test but had symptoms of pregnancy so I tested. What does this mean? Google says it should have been negative at this stage unless its a new pregnancy or bits of placenta has been left behind. I had a c section so 🤷‍♀️

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?
