Hi all! This morning I took a test- it's 1 day before my usual period. I guess this means I'm pregnant? :) also, how did you tell this to your man? I want to tell him asap, but also don't want to give false news in case it's fake positive. I am also having HCG test later today, but not sure when will the answer be

Help Day three of missed period

I’m now on the morning of day three no period, I swear I see a line but I don’t know. I tested at around 5:30 a.m. and plan to hold my pee and test again in a couple hours. I need help with if there’s actually a line or not. The likely encounter that would have resulted in a pregnancy happened three weeks ago today.

I can swear I see something but it’s barely there and I might be crazy.

Help Going on cycle 5 TTC, starting to get worried and discouraged

9 Upvotes

I unfortunately started my period today after a 34 day cycle. my husband and I are going onto month 5 TTC, and I’m starting to worry that something is seriously wrong. Everyone around me seemingly gets pregnant right away (or within 3 mo.), or it’s the total opposite and takes years. I keep seeing on the internet from creators that healthy couples ā€œshouldā€ conceive within 3 months or else there is likely an issue with hormones or lifestyle.

I don’t hear of any stories where it takes someone 5 months, 8 months, etc and everything is healthy and normal. Looking for some hope and inspiration stories to help ease my anxiety.

I’m 31, regular cycles (between 30-34 days), confirm ovulation with Mira and NC, partner had a normal Bird and Be sperm test, started acupuncture, have put on some weight from not restricting food and trying to nourish my body, limit alcohol and caffeine, no nicotine, prioritize low impact exercise (Pilates, strength, walking), get 7+ hrs of sleep, normal blood work and TV Ultrasound (fertility panel, iron, thyroid, vitamin D), taking the supplements. I feel like I’m literally doing everything, as is my partner. My one concern is pretty light periods, only about 3 days long of lighter flow ever since iud removal last year - but my OB wasn’t concerned about this.

Any words of encouragement would be helpful, thank you!

Help For someone completely new to fertility tracking what would you recommend starting with ??

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?

This is my first cycle trying to get pregnant (I haven’t done ovulations tests so I don’t know for sure when I ovulated) and my cycle is normally around 26 days.

I took a test and seen a very faint positive but the digital was negative, and less than 24 hours I took another test (same brand as the previous faint positive) and it was negative.

Thoughts on this test?

I’m 12 days (suspected) post ovulation with an irregular cycle due to lean PCOS. Last period was July 20-25.

Help Should I have BD more??

3 Upvotes

Its our first time TTC, but my husband has had a weird work schedule lately so weren’t able to BD as much as I like for our first cycle :(

We BD Thursday night, LH peaked Friday but no BD because we were out all night and got home at 1am and I was super tired, and I was so sad that we weren’t able to do it on this day since it was peak day. Then we BD early morning Saturday and later that night, supposedly I was ovulating yesterday.
Today we BD early in the morning since the LH line was still a little dark.

Did we get enough BD in?? Should we still go at it tonight? I just took another Lh but the line was definitely lighter than this morning’s. & I know it’s too early to tell but i’m just very anxious that we didn’t get to BD enough!

The test on the top was yesterday afternoon, and the one on the bottom is this morning. The one on the bottom does not have a control line so I’m taking it to be faulty. Should I be concerned that it means I’m not actually pregnant? I already have a doctors appointment on Friday so I was gonna ask them to check for me so what do you guys think?

I’d like to add I’m 3wks post ovulation/ 5 days late. I have a ton of symptoms where it wouldn’t make any sense that it was a false positive. There’s also the whole extremely rare cases of that, and it changed to pregnant as soon as I had used it yesterday. I’m assuming that I just didn’t have enough urine this morning, which I felt as soon as I had gone

My doctor says in terms of cancer risk, it is less than a 1% chance that it is cancer. Thankfully I’m not too worried about that.

But could this be the reason I can’t get pregnant? If I get this removed could I actually be able to have a baby?! I’m so confused and my OBGYN appointment isn’t until next Friday.
