How long?

MC a couple of weeks ago and we can’t wait to start trying again. My HcG is now undetectable on home PTs and has been for a few days. No CM at all and all my LH tests coming back negative but BBT is saying tomorrow is peak. I’ve always had really consistent, obvious EWCM and steady BBT that confirms ovulation but I’...

Can anyone make sense of my chart?!?!

This is my current chart - cycles are 27-28 days and I’m now on CD30 still no sign of AF, temperature hasn’t dropped yet which it usually does the day before AF but still testing negative. Symptoms are - sore full boobs, exhausted, occasional sharp cramps on right side, waves of nausea but of course this could all...

Does this look normal?

On CD 14, said I would ovulate right as AF finished on CD 5 as last cycle was 21 days. New to this LH testing but I'm pretty sure it's not meant to go up and down like this 🤷🏻‍♀️

Can I test?

Hi girls, my period is due in 5 days but Flo says I’d be 7 days pregnant (if I’ve conceived) , would the test be accurate if I took an ultra early clear blue tommorow morning? I am new to this sorry, also had this test yesterday but it was a few hours after so guessing indent?

Can everyone see what I can see?

I’ve done 3 tests and believe I can see the faintest second line, (this is probably because it’s a few days before my period is due

Ovulation help

Hiya! I’m hoping for some help with tracking ovulation. It’s the first time I’ve done it after a MMC at the end of March. According to Flo I should have ovulated on the 13th of this month. I’ve tested but they’ve all been pretty low and only now has it started to get a bit darker today. Is it potentially a late ...

Short follicular phase

My cycles used to be 28 days long with ovulation around day 16. The last 2 months I have ovulated on day 8. I understand this may make conceiving harder. 😓 Has anyone had any experience with this and still fallen pregnant? I’m 34 so assuming this may be premenopausal 😩 any advice is welcome 🙏🏻

TMI: cervical mucus egg white and stretchy but ovulation test negative

So I tested twice today for ovulation and both came back as the below so obviously not positive yet. Today I got cervical mucus that was stretchy and like egg whites, does that mean I’m ovulating today or does that happen before ovulation? My first time tracking all of this and getting myself confused!
