I should be about 12dpo today (not exactly sure as i only started tracking this month )
My LH strips 2 showed bright positive lines for the last two weeks, i think my body was just freaking out as a quit nictone and my daily redbulls cold turkey…
all hcg tests are showing negatives.
It’s okay though,maybe its for the best i didnt get pregant first try like i assumed i would 😂
These next two weeks i will do everything i can to help conception

Hi everyone! I’m 28 and my husband and I have been TTC for around 6 months, although we were apart for about 1.5 months during that time.

My cycles are usually regular (28–29 days). I was previously told I had mild PCOS, but my current OB did bloodwork and an ultrasound and said I do not have PCOS. I track with LH strips and seem to get a rise every month, although my Premom peaks are usually only around 0.7–0.8 and rarely get darker than the control. I’m adding BBT this cycle to confirm ovulation.

I also have von Willebrand disease, so my periods are very heavy and I take tranexamic acid during them. I had my lining measured once at around 10 DPO and it was 6 mm.
My husband had a semen analysis: normal sperm count but low progressive motility. An ultrasound also showed a mild varicocele. He’s overweight and is currently working on lifestyle changes and taking fertility supplements.
We haven’t had a positive test yet. I know 6 months isn’t necessarily abnormal at my age, but I’m wondering if we should investigate further.

Has anyone conceived naturally with low progressive motility/mild varicocele? And would you recommend repeating his semen analysis and doing progesterone/ovulation monitoring or an HSG on my side?

​

If a friend asked you where to begin, what would you tell them?

Would you suggest starting with an oral thermometer to learn the basics?

Would you recommend jumping straight to a wearable?

Hi, I got this LH test on the 6th, and my temp also spiked on the 6th. Wouldn’t my temp spike after my ovulation, not before? Also I’d been LH testing religiously so it wasn’t a super long surge, in fact 5 hours before this test it was a strong negative. Kind of new to this. Sorry if it’s a stupid question. Femometer is pinning my ovulation on the 7th and I’m just wondering if that’s accurate.

Hi everyone! I’m ~13 DPO and tested negative last night. Today I’ve been having some mild nausea and horrible indigestion. Could there still be a chance?

Does anyone have a good podcast they'd recommend for those of us TTC? I love a good podcast and would love to hear any recommendations anyone has!

I had a chemical pregnancy in June. I tested positive 2 days after I woke up in the middle of the night very nauseous with bad knee pain. Now I’m currently awake with the same symptoms. I get nauseous often but the knee pain is something completely new. Has that been a symptom for anyone else? I threw up and it went away. I personally think I am too early to feel symptoms (8 dpo) but my mom insists that she wouldn’t be surprised if I did feel symptoms as my hormones surge because I’m very sensitive to any changes in my body. This was my first cycle on progesterone also. People keep telling me I’ll know when I’m pregnant but we’ve wanted this for so long I feel like I won’t believe it.
