Ovulation?

Hi all! I’ve just started my 2nd period since having my little boy a whole 16 months ago. My periods were irregular for years and because of this struggled to conceive after trying for about 3.5 years. When he was born in Jan 2023 I didn’t have any periods until they randomly came back in April last month! After m...

Ovulation?

Can you tell when you ovulate? Hubby and I have been trying for 6 months for our second and no luck. I know it’s pretty normal for it to take some time but wondering if I’m missing my window. I have the apps to check and I have 3 different apps that I use to help. I tried the ovulation tests but seemed extra stressf...

I have PCOS so I know that LH changes

But does this look like it was indeed my peak? I had egg white CM as well but I’m so confused as to how LH just started dropping after 3-4 hours. I thought it usually takes a whole day to drop after peak.

I have PCOS and so tracking can be tough

I have PCOS. According to my apps I was supposed to ovulate 3 days ago but obviously my body is late so I’m basically tracking through CM and basal body temperature as well as LH. Body temp this morning was 97.66, and yesterday it was 97.33. This was my CM just now, my LH strip I took two hours ago was .50. Does thi...

Peaked yesterday

Does anyone have any guess as to when I will ovulate, I assume maybe yesterday evening or today? Fell asleep last night before we did the deed and kicking myself 😂 do we think there is good chance of conceiving today?

High progesterone but got my period??!???

Hi guys, I had my progesterone checked to see if I’ve ovulated and it was 101nmol/L which is inline with pregnancy. I got a vvfl on a test but got my period on the same day and I’ve been bleeding for 1.5 days with the usual flow and period symptoms. I’m so confused. It’s exactly like my period. Any thoughts?

Ovulation

The first two tries at conceiving weren’t successful so I bought ovulation tests to track timing better but the strips weren’t getting darker, my flo app says that my day of ovulation should have been the 4th May but today I’ve had lots of discharge that is related to ovulation?? I didn’t have this on the predicted ...

I’m ovulating right?

So yesterday I did a post where I said I never see the test line darker than than control line and I now realize it’s because I was only LH testing once a day. This is my test from a few minutes ago. I’m ovulating right?

Ovulation tests

Hi friends! We have been “trying” for going on 3 months and this is the first month that I’ve been really committing to taking ovulation tests. My tests look like they’re getting lighter, does that mean I’ve already ovulated and I missed it? The picture shows the to being the oldest, I think, from last Friday and th...

😬😰

So according to the Flo app I’m supposed to be ovulating. So we are actively trying for about a week now. Today I noticed some very light bloating this morning, light cramping around lunch & some tiny spotting. Could this be a good sign?🥹

Have I timed my deed correctly?

Me and my husband did the deed on the 7th. I meant to ovulate on the 9th. Do I still have a chance?

New to tracking BBT

Is this normal for the temp to stay high after ovulation? I’m usually due on in 5 days. I thought it would go back down after so not sure if I’ve got a fever or something?! (Also yes, I have a very enthusiastic husband 🙄😂❤️)

Is it possible to ovulate two days after period?

My ovulation test said my peak was yesterday. I finished my cycle on Monday. Isn't it too soon to be ovulating?
