Hi I am 31f and tried first time this month with proper lh testing using premom strips, caught peak and then BD on peak lh day and 2 days after, I had all the signs of cm and ovulation cramping also pinned the ovulation date cia oura ring to be 10th oct as my temps were raised since then, I got hopeful when i was nauseous the first 6 days post ovulation but then no signs at all, mind you i never get nauseous so this was easy to spot, been taking hcg, frer and yesterday clear blue digital and all came neg. Super bummed out. I have regular cycle and weight. Please tell me what do i need in terms of supplements for next cycle, I have read 'it starts with an egg' so I am planning to starting CoQ10 supps, anything else I can do???

Excited! Conceiving 4 Days Prior to Ovulation

0 Upvotes

Curious if anyone has or knows someone who has conceived 4 days prior to ovulation / how likely it is. I know it’s possible, but seems closer to the front end of the fertility window.

For context: my husband and I are “softly preventing” this cycle with the pull out method, but got carried away on Saturday. Captured my LH peak yesterday afternoon and ovulation pain yesterday evening / this morning.

I’m just curious how high the likelihood is. It is exciting to me that the possibility is there!

First cycle off birth control.

I’m only 8 or 9 dpo so it’s very early, but decided to test this morning after oura picked up minor signs of strain from body temp and a significant rise in respiratory rate. I usually have some days of minor strain, but only from body temp. This is the first time it picked up a change in breathing. I know it’s most likely negative but I can’t tell if I see a vvvvvvvvvvfl?!

I’ve heard so many stories of one sided pain, bleeding. Just curious to see how common it really is? Anyone not feel anything?

Question/Advice I need advice

1 Upvotes

So my fiancé (m22) and I (f20) have a 1.5 year old son, and then back in january i had a miscarriage at 10 weeks. Very upsetting but we decided over the summer we want to try for another baby as we don't want our kids have a huge age gap. We've been trying to 3 months... But back in june i started having irregular periods (comes 1 days to 1 weeks early every month since) and this all started around when i got diagnosed with connective tissue disease that they suspect will become lupus in the near future. But with all that my period was NEVER late. This past month i was tracking my ovulation (once a day) and it kept saying i wasn't ovulating, but i know since i was only doing it once a day i could've missed my window, like i tested at night and positive window was in the morning. But now my period didn't come early this month like it had been i've been testing 2 times daily for the last week and no we were 3 days past when period was actually due, but a week since it would normally come. I'm trying to not get my hopes up but i don't know what to do in this situation. I called my OBGYN and they said they won't take me in for blood work, but i feel like it's needed to figure it out. With my son i tested positive the day my period was due, and then the second time i didn't test positive until 2 or 3 after it was due. And to previous my period was regular after i gave birth (for it 2 weeks later), the entire time i breastfed, and after we had the miscarriage. Did not become "irregular" until june when the health issues started. any ideas? recommendations? idek im just at loss and confused

Success Story Our first positive with PCOS/PMOS

Post image
11 Upvotes

We found out yesterday! I am 12 days DPO. As you can see the lines were so faint that I thought I would just try the digital and was shocked when it was actually able to detect it. We conceived on our 4th cycle, lucky I know. But I wanted to provide maybe some hope for anyone with PCOS/PMOS starting their journey or on their journey. To preface this, I was diagnosed 3 years ago and have spent the last 3 years making every lifestyle change to give myself the best chance to live symptom free and reversing the symptoms of PCOS. My cycles are now regular without ever taking birth control. If you’re looking for the basics on this 40g protein and max 30 carbs for each meal and always pairing carbs with protein. If I wanted a carby snack, I always grabbed a Fairlife protein shake from the fridge to have with it, following this was the biggest game changer and allowed me to lose 40+ pounds.

Now, my sisters and mom were all super lucky and conceived on their first try with each of their kids. So knowing I had PCOS and while I only had 3 cycles not work it was still disappointing and I didn’t know what my journey would look like. I feel so blessed to be pregnant and that my TTC journey was relatively short, but when starting my journey I felt like I either saw people who conceived on the first try or the people who were years into their journeys.

I’d also like to add, I did try mucinex this cycle and well I am pregnant! So was it the mucinex, idk but it’s worth the try!
