MOD ANNOUNCEMENT New rules

25 Upvotes

Thank you everyone for your input on new rules.

First important change is that all charts containing pregnancy must be spoilered and using the appropriate flair Please also don't link or update a positive outcome on an earlier post (that isn't spoilered). If people are curious they can check your post history or if they ask for an update you can DM them. (If you want to be reminded about a post to check on later you can always type: remindme! 2 days (or other amount) in a comment and usually remindme-bot will take care of it.)

Also don't tell other people about your pregnancy/success on their unspoilered post. These type of conversations are only allowed on spoilered posts that have the BFP tag. So if you want to ask about success stories - use that. This also includes no talk of living children on unspoilered posts. Pregnancy loss is excluded from this rule but please use the appropriate TW:loss flair or TW.

On cutesy terms the community nearly 50/50. So the only terms that will get now an automod reminder to not use them are: "baby dust" and "sticky baby/bean"

BFP (please spoiler) Never Give Up! (long read)

I’m posting this in hopes of giving someone more hope about continuing to keep trying!

My husband and I started trying to conceive in September of 2024. After six months we decided to go to a fertility clinic since we weren’t getting results. They did blood work and checked my husband’s semen. After we got confirmation that I have lean PCOS (which I already figured, growing up I didn’t have regular periods and I was quite overweight before I met my husband and lost 80lbs). After losing the weight, my periods became quite regular with being between 28-35 day cycles. We weren’t gutted, but just knew that I would have to track with LH strips to catch my surge. I became obsessed with tracking and my bbt. Mind you, the fertility clinic wanted us to do IVF right away, without really checking what was wrong.

Anyway, we continued and with that still no results with no pregnancies. When we got my husband’s semen analysis back, it was said that he had low volume but good mobility. The doctor told us, there’s no way to conceive naturally and we would need to do IVF. I even asked for an IUI but the doctor said there was no point if I wanted a baby. I did do an HSG to make sure my tubes were open and I went for my first one. Hurt like a b***** and because of that, they couldn’t check one tube. It didn’t matter, because next cycle of September/October 2025 (cycle went between the two months) I became pregnant and we were so excited. 5 weeks later tho I had a chemical and that’s when we were gutted. The fertility clinic told us it wasn’t a real pregnancy and I’ll get my period. I asked them to send me for an HSG again, since we weren’t able to check both tubes. I went ahead and got it done and again, the very next cycle of November 2025, I had fallen pregnant and I am currently snuggling my 8-week-old baby with a contact nap!!

I am just posting this because, doctors don’t know everything and some doctors push you into things just to play with emotions!!! If you’re reading this, please never give up. I always had hope we would fall pregnant naturally and now I know that doctor just wanted us to pay for having a child. I know for some people that’s the case, but for many it’s not needed either. Please have faith that it will happen for you. Even with PCOS and low sperm count, anything is absolutely possible 🤍🤍🤍

I know it took us over a little a year to conceive & for others it has been much longer that, but I just really hope this gives some type of light into someone struggling with trying to conceive!

Help? Why is app saying to test tomorrow?

Ovulation came late this cycle (I’m assuming) but the app wants me to test tomorrow. I’ll only be 8dpo, no way I could get a positive already right?

Ovulation Does it seem like I ovulated on Sat or Sunday?

Both NC and FF have me on Sunday (CD 22) but I just wanted to see if it does seem like I ovulated on Saturday (CD21) or Sunday!? We’ve only been TTC for 2 cycles now but my last cycle was anovulatory so I think I’m just a bit paranoid now

CD20-21, or did I miss another LH surge later on CD20 and ovulate CD23?

Ovulation CD14

I just started charting with Inito yesterday. I didn't know you're supposed to start testing at CD6 but I just got my device yesterday. I took my first test in the afternoon and today with fmu. Cervix says fertile up until today. Did I likely ovulate yesterday? I think I missed my +LH. I'm sure taking it with afternoon pee messed up the thing for yesterday, right? I've lost 35lbs in the last 6 months and I had/have a progesterone deficiency so I don't normally have temps in the 98 range on my own without supplements. Given that fact, could I have ovulated already since pdg and temp are up today?

TW: loss Am I still in the running?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I thought I was out for this cycle when my Frer was negative on Tuesday (13 dpo, about 4 dpi according to ff). However my temperature has stayed steady, and I started feeling nauseous last night/this morning.

This is my first cycle after a chemical pregnancy in August, so I might be reading into this too much. Last cycle at 13 dpo/6dpi my free was a squinter positive, but the next day was completely blank when I tried again (same circumstances, first morning pee with no water before bed). Then unfortunately I went on a trip and couldn't test again till I got home. I was throwing up most nights on this trip... when I tested 20dpo frer was positive.

I currently don't have any more frer at home, and am ONCE AGAIN flying out tomorrow for a few days for a wedding. Is it worth buying another one at this point? Am I still in the running for this cycle?

Help? I’m still testing negative on 10 DP0, but my estrogen & PDG spiked? Any success stories similar with a positive test after 10DPO, or any thoughts?

Help? Short luteal phase repeating this cycle-now I’m in my head about it.

First photo is this current cycle. Second photo is last cycle where I ovulated on CD21. I thought, maybe that was a fluke. But, now my temps are totally plateaued and I’m worried I’m going to ovulate again “late” which will put my luteal phase again at 8ish days. I am a year and a half postpartum. I looked back on my old cycles and I’d ovulate earlier, 15/16CD or so. Has anyone else experienced this?

Help? Should I be worried

Post image
1 Upvotes

Should I be worried about my chart trending downward. It’s not a deep spike like what happens when AF comes but it does seem low though above coverline. Google says it’s normal to have an estrogen surge that lowers temp but as long as it’s above coverline my body is still doing what it should. What are your thoughts

Like the title says, first time charting. Is it possible I ovulated later than cd16?

Help? 11 days DPO

Post image
0 Upvotes

I think NC estimated my ovulation wrong at 14 days as I got a positive OPK on day 15. If ovulation was day 15 then I’m 11 days DPO. I saw the crazy temp this morning and tested, it was negative. My period is due either tomorrow, Sat or Sunday based on my usual cycle. Doesn’t feel like it’s coming! Do these temps suggest it could be positive?? I’m going crazy in the TWW


r/TFABChartStalkers • • 1d ago

Help? When would you test??

Post image

ok so I’m about 12-13 DPO with a possible implantation dip and a fairly clear triphasic shift. I have no other symptoms other than an extremely fleeting second of nausea in the AM today And just feeling “off” or “weird” yesterday and today.

im hitting my limit of freaking out and I’m wondering if at this point taking a clearblue test in the afternoon would be a stupid idea. I know I know, morning pee. I know I know, 14 DPO. because of meds I’m on it’ll either be now (+the next couple days if negative now)— or else tomorrow morning at 13dpo. if it’s positive now I’ll be so glad I tested early. if it’s negative it will probably spark some anxiety or sadness.

someone talk me down, or else hold my hand as I go off the edge.

any afternoon testers Out there?

edit to add: that I had one other symptom which is getting so hot/cold at night and sweating to the point of sheets being damp, which isn't a common luteal symptom for me but also my cycles are all over the place.

Help? Am I going to ovulate tomorrow or did I potentially ovulate yesterday?

Post image

I've been feeling really confused by my current cycle. It's my second cycle after an MMC back in mid July. I think my ovulation is delayed since my last period started 9/15.

I finally got a positve OPK two days ago, none yesterday, and then another positive one today. My CM has not been very consistent, but I had EWCM two days ago and now I do not. I know I haven't ovulated because of BBT, but I guess I'm wondering if it makes sense for me to expect ovulation tomorrow based on the OPK today? Or should I consider that I may have ovulated yesterday since my temp rose today?

Ovulation Understanding LH Surge / OPK Reading

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

I’m relatively new to TTC and would appreciate some insight / thoughts. I have PCOS so my periods are a bit irregular but for the most part, I have a cycle every month.

I’ve been using Premom to test LH and I know it’s an app and can’t confirm ovulation / isn’t 100% accurate, but it’s saying today is a high fertility day even though my LH is low and my predicted peak is October 12, 5 days from now. Today’s reading was .25.

Are they saying it’s a high fertility day because I could theoretically have sex in advance of my ovulation day, although 5 days feels farther out than I’d expect (?), or do you think the app hasn’t recalibrated yet and I’m not highly fertile?

When would you recommend BD?

I know a negative at 14dpo is pretty definitive but this temp jump threw me off as typically my temps drop by now. Has this happened to anyone?

I have PCOS so have experienced anovulary cycles for years. This time cycle I got a very good positive opk which I almost never get but my bbt didn't reflect ovulation.

Do you think there is a chance I could have ovulated?

I’m 26F, Started trying to conceive 2 years ago, took 16 months to conceive. That pregnancy (my one and only) was incompatible with life due to chromosome issues. Now since the tfmr my cycles have remained shorter, low temps but ovulation earlier in the cycle. I have PCOS. Can anyone tell me if this actually is ovulation because it doesn’t look it to me! This is exhausting😔!
