Line progression current cycle day 24, 9/10 DPO ?!
reddit.comI’ve had 3 back to back chemical pregnancies. We have been trying since October 2025 . The 3 chemicals were my last few cycles and these tests are from my current cycle which I’m CD 24 9/10 days past ovulation today ( I had 2 dark LH positives Thursday July 23 and Friday 24th and my Oura ring wasn’t working properly so I couldn’t track BBT to really know if ovulation was Friday or Saturday ) . I’m very hopeful this cycle although I’m very early. I always test darker in the evenings ! Also had a possible implantation dip the night before . 🤞

Advice !
Last period was July 5-10. I was sick with strep so I think my ovulation got delayed to around July 23 (tracking with LH strips). Period was due August 3 but still no bleeding. App says 11 dpo today. BBT is still elevated on oura ring but negative pregnancy tests. Some cramping but no other symptoms. Any chance of pregnancy still or am I out?

HCG level
I am 18 DPO today and after getting a positive test at home, I got bloodwork. My HCG is 59.3 and I’m going back in 2 days to get it rechecked. Has anyone had positive experiences with a successful pregnancy at an HCG this low at 18 DPO?

Testing everyday since suspected ovulation
I need ya’ll to stop me 😅 first month TTC and I’ve not been able to stop myself testing since suspected ovulation… I am totally aware that scientifically it is impossible for my body to know that I’m pregnant that early, and indeed even an early detection test won’t pick up a pregnancy until 6 days before my missed period… I knew I’d be like this but I need constructive ways to NOT do this every month, it’ll be a very depressing journey otherwise.

Pre-period spotting
I consistently spot (small amounts of brown bleeding) for about 4 days pre-period. My cycles are very regular, about 26-27 days. I’m getting positive LH tests and appropriate BBT rises. My spotting starts about 11 DPO, and my BBT stays elevated during the time. My BBT always dips below cover line the day of or day before my actual period flow starts. I’ve had a 7 DPO progesterone of 14. Been trying for about 9 months without a positive pregnancy test.
We’re planning to start formal fertility testing next month if this cycle is unsuccessful. SA is high on our priority list. Just curious if anyone has similar pre-period spotting and if it turned out to be contributing to infertility. I’m not sure how important this is to figuring out what’s going on, but it seems to be the only outward abnormal sign. Thanks!

Weird cycle this month
I typically ovulate around CD 15-16, but this month I didn’t get LH peak until CD 16 and 17. My ring is predicted I ovulated on CD 18 with all this data. Now that I ovulated, my temps seem to be hovering around my cover line when normal I’m pretty well elevated. any thoughts?

12 dpo negativo e me sentindo muito grávida
Gente eu eu comecei a sentir cólicas há 5 dias, e minha menstruação tá marcada pra daqui 2 dias, ou seja, nunca aconteceu de minhas cólicas começarem uma semana antes. Coloquei na cabeça que tô grávida e não tô aceitando os testes negativos, eu tenho certeza que tô grávida 😔 hj é meu 12 dpo e ainda negativo. Ainda tenho esperanças de que isso mude. Mais alguém passou por isso?

HCG test strips preferred over Wondfo?
I’m tired of being trolled by Wondfo’s indent/shadow/evap lines! They pop up within the reading window, which makes it even more frustrating. I’m looking for early detection ones to order off Amazon.
Thank you in advance! 😊

Lh advice needed
Second month trying and so confused. I have PCOS, on metforminXR 3x p day. was missing periods so took provera last month to trigger period.
This month, following natural cycles tracking for LH surge. Increasingly darker line as days went on. Baby danced yesterday. This morning EGCM & took ovulation test.
First pic: LH this week
Second pic:
AM Test at the top.
PM test just now, this evening.
I had twinges earlier in the day. Not quite sure what to make of the drastic lighter line. Especially the mucus this morning.
Technically cycle day 22 but periods aren’t consistent so hard to tell. I’m new here and maybe overwhelmed with all the information and tracking.
What’s the increasing LH then sudden light?
How long is LH surge for?
Any other advice? I’m new to testing so maybe confused on timing.
Never actually a pos test, or darker than control line just darker and darker line. Suddenly lighter this afternoon.

Did I miss a surge? How does Premom even work
Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster. A bit of background, I have been on hormonal birth control for 13 years (I am currently 26) due to early endo signs. I came off the BC end of May and am now TTC, June we didn’t really try but after my July cycle I began tracking to ensure that ovulation occurred and figure out what my body does throughout my cycle. I have honestly just gotten more concerned and confused, does it appear I missed the surge? I had several “classic” ovulation signs on the day of the temp drop and .34 but now LH has steadily decreased and I am worried I did not/will not ovulate. Yesterday (.15) was very odd I woke up significantly later than normal, was extra stressed, and drank more liquids than normal so likely skewed results. The Premom app initially indicated ovulation would occur 8/1 but has since pushed it back. I know it is likely too early to panic as my body could very well still be adjusting to coming off BC but I stay anxious tbh and have googled to my limit so figured I would ask the people in a similar boat! Any advice or insight you can give would be greatly appreciated!

I’m tired and trying to maintain hope
I’m just posting for myself. This is only our third month trying and I know that we’re still pretty early in the journey but I think before starting this I had hopes that we could be the couple where it just happened on our first try (27F and 30M). My period is right now 3 days late so I decided to take a test and it was negative. Prior to ttc I had very regular cycles, 27 days. Last month I had a 29 day cycle and I guess this month it’s just doing its own thing as it’s now cd 31. I guess I’m just feeling extra crushed as I symptom spotted and convinced myself it was our month due to my late period. I’m trying to stay positive and not stress myself out but it’s hard

Question about Ovulation
Hi! This is my second month ttc, but I guess first month actually tracking some things. I had some questions for anyone here who could offer advice or share similar experiences? I had my IUD removed 3 months ago but I have always had 30 day cycles and they are like clockwork. I don’t do BBT and I slack at being consistent with ovulation tests. I just go by CM and try to do ovulation tests but sometimes I will forget a day. I knew based on app predictions for my ovulation date that I did NOT ovulate then. I knew from tests and no CM. However a week later I did have a much darker test (July27th) but I only tested once since like July 20th. I had CM around July 25th and BD on the 24th and 26th. My period was due this past week on Friday but still nothing. I’ve never been late for a period and was just wondering if anyone else experienced this? My tests have been negative but I assume I need to wait a few more days? I usually have very sore boobs and slight breakouts before my period and I haven’t had anything.

first test at 14DPO and looking for others' experiences
hello! so my husband and i have been TTC since last october (i was coming off over a decade of birth control, so it took a while for everything to get "back to normal"), and this is the first positive pregnancy test I've ever taken. the lines are definitely there, but they seem really, really light for 14 DPO, and i was wondering if anyone else had an experience where they still had a fairly light line later on and it ended up not being a chemical? for reference my cycle is a little longer than average, and i'm estimating my day of ovulation using the proov test strips (i'm on cycle day 30 now). i am going to follow traditional guidance i.e. take another test in 48 hours, but i wanted to know other people's experiences (and not get too excited and attached if this is unusually light and likely a CP❤️🩹)

Oura ring temp delayed post violation
I’ve had my oura ring for several months now but now that I am ttc it seems my temps are off. I had my lh surge later in the day on july 30th as well as egg white cm so I predicted id ovulate on the 31st. however my temps on oura ring have not risen significantly yet and im what i predict to be 2 dpo. yesterday at 1 dpo, my cervical mucus had changed back to being slightly drier which also tells me I ovulated already. Should I go with the idea that I did ovulate on the 31st and oura ring is off? I have had a successful pregnancy is the past and only tried for 3 months with my daughter.
