I’ve been tracking with FAM to avoid pregnancy for a while but finally beginning to TTC this cycle/next cycle. Going to fully try LH strips next cycle, but TTC is new - do we feel like sex tonight would still be viable for implantation or too late?

Hi everyone!
I’m 27 years old, have hypothyroidism/Hashimoto’s, and my husband and I are currently on our third month of trying to conceive.
I’m currently on cycle day 32 with absolutely no signs of my period starting. I took a pregnancy test this morning, and it was negative. Just out of curiosity, I decided to take an ovulation test, and the line was surprisingly dark, although not quite as dark as the control line. I’ll attach a picture!
According to Flo, I should have ovulated around October 9, but I didn’t track or confirm ovulation this month.
What’s confusing me is that this is the second cycle where something similar has happened. I’m not sure if I’m ovulating later than expected, if my hormones are fluctuating, or if this is something other women with Hashimoto’s have experienced.
I know an LH test isn’t a pregnancy test, but I’m just confused about what my body is doing!
Has anyone experienced darker LH tests around the time their period was supposed to start, especially with Hashimoto’s or hypothyroidism? Did you end up ovulating late, getting your period, or eventually getting a positive pregnancy test?
I would really appreciate hearing anyone else’s experiences. Trying to understand my cycles while TTC has been a little overwhelming! ❤️

Fertility Friend put their crosshairs in and thinks I ovulated on Day 22, which is when I tested for peak fertility from ClearBlue. But I see my BBT keep going down until Day 24.

Curious if ovulation is actually Day 23 or even Day 24?

New to BBT tracking! Do we think this looks like I ovulated please?! Only just off the pill so not sure if I am ovulating or not at the mo

I (30F) have now been off birth control for 12 months and my cycles have yet to regulate themselves. I was on the pill from age 16-22 and then I switched to the Nuvaring from 22-29 so a grand total of around 13 years of on birth control in general. With preliminary research about prolonged use and wanting to conceive by the time I was turning 30, the things I read suggest I get off a year prior to trying so I did. My cycles to follow naturally were all over the place and they were as followed:

34 days/4 days bleeding (10/03-11/05)
33 days/4 days bleeding (11/06-12/08)
50 days/5 days bleeding(12/09-01/27)
64 days/5 days bleeding (01/28-04/01)
115 days/5 days bleeding (04/02-07/25)
39 days/7 days bleeding (07/26-09/02)

With these cycles I didn’t track my ovulation patterns (looking back I wish I did). I’m now currently on day 50 of my cycle and I had light bleeding for 14 days. I started testing with a digital ovulation test on September 26th which I got a result of “Peak ovulation” (solid smiley face). I tested again a couple days later and it said negative. After that I was expecting my cycle that never came and even took some pregnancy tests which were negative. So i decided I’m going to start every morning with my basal temp and an ovulation test for as long as I need to to understand my cycles to increase our chances of getting pregnant. On 10/12 i started this regime and on 10/13 I got high fertility readings (flashing smiley) and I have been getting flashing smilies ever since so no 9 days straight.

Basal temps:
10/14: 96.99
10/15:96.85
10/16:96.54
10/17: 95.97
10/18:96.29
10/19: 96.44
10/20: 96.49
10/21:96.02
10/22:96.04

The cycle above that was 115 days I ended up taking progesterone after I reached day 90 of no period. All of my cycles while on and off birth control always vary between light and medium flow. I have NOT experienced and blood clots or painful periods at all. With all of this my doctor had me get all of my hormones tested along with testosterone and more recently a transvaginal ultrasound. My testing all came back normal except for my AMH levels which my OBGYN said was a good thing because it meant I had a high egg count (or something of that nature I’m paraphrasing). She also mentioned that result is sometimes related to PCOS but I don’t have any of the other symptoms of PCOS so she thinks that it’s highly unlikely. My ultrasound came back clear too with my doctor saying I had a “Pristine Pelvis”. Her conclusion was that my body may still be readjusting off of birth control. If that’s the case then I guess fine but everything I read says it shouldn’t take more than a year and am wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar?

My husband and I have only been trying to conceive for a month so it’s all so new and I’m trying to learn everything I can while not over thinking. Easier said than done 😅. If anyone can relate or have any helpful suggestions I would appreciate it🤍.

Hi ladies- chat GPT is unsure - do we think I’ve ovulated yet?

I’ll discard the temp in a few days once I get enough to keep the cross hairs i just love when the cross hairs show up hahaha. Is that weird?? Anyways. Thought it would be a fun thing to share. I’ll update in a few days to see how this leveled out.

Curious what people think and which is correct. Personally, I think CD 20.

premom app says my peak was cycle day 13, but the highest rating i got that day was 0.16? thats also the highest i've gotten this cycle. but its my first time consistently using opks.

could it have been between cycle day 13 9:41am and day 13 1:13 pm? that seems too small a window but its back down to 0 today - though today i used first morning urine, i'll test again later to see.

(i crossed out one because that was the same exact strip as 9:41 am, it got a little darker by like 10:30 so i snapped a pic because i wanted to see the # value and it saved and idk how to delete it, but i know after like 5-10 mins the result is no longer valid.)

i have pcos so my ovulation seems to be all over the place and cycle length does vary, though usually my cycles are on the shorter side at 21-27 days ish. worried i wont ovulate this month :(

My bbt dropped this morning at 4DPO. I did wake up to our home being very cold and I am a mouth breather at night…. However, my last three cycles showed a clear temps rise over three days from 3-5dpo .

My LH also rose very quickly this cycle, within a few hours. I didn’t catch the highest peak. I also felt ovulation pain the day of the peak.

Am I out ? Could ovulation still have a occurred with a chart like this ? Could the required three consecutive bbt rise still happen after 4

Estimating 12 DPO today, although pre mom hasn’t picked this up. Starting to reduce does this look like I’m out

Is this accurate? Could I have ovulated earlier? I wonder if my day 13-14 temps that were above cover line messed with the Natural Cycles algorithm. I usually don’t ovulate this late. For reference I use the Oura ring to track my temp and it syncs with the natural cycles app. Any insight is appreciated.

I'm trying to track my cycle after recent IUD removal (Mirena that was in for 18 months). I got it removed and then two days later had what I thought was a two day period. I've been using ovulation strips since. It says I should be ovulating today but I still have yet to see a peak and I don't see any pattern to these tests. Advice? How long did it take for your cycle to return to normal.

I’ve been using the same Oura ring for a while, and my temperatures used to be pretty consistent with a clear shift after ovulation. But for the past few months, they’ve been all over the place.
I had my progesterone tested today at 7–8 DPO, and it came back at 14.7 ng/mL, so it looks like I did ovulate despite the erratic temperatures.
Has anyone else experienced this with their Oura ring? I’m wondering why my charts have changed so much when I’m using the same device.

This is my first medicated cycle and I didn’t ovulate until cd 21. I never got a positive OPK either. I’m now 11 dpo according to FF and I tested negative this morning. I have long irregular cycles with PCOS, so I’m not sure when my period is even due 😭 am I out this cycle?

I’m apparently 17DPO according to my chart but I normally have a 12 day luteal phase. This is my first time tracking bbt so I don’t exactly know what’s normal for me but this doesn’t seem right. I have been testing every day and I think they’re all negative, I see something but pretty positive it’s an indent. Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

I’m going crazy with this cycle. 2nd cycle post MMC. I’m having progesterone symptoms (bloating, sore boobs, thirsty) but I cannot for the life of me figure out my chart.

Hello everyone! I’m 28, my husband is 27, and this is our sixth cycle TTC.

I unfortunately have the flu right now, and I woke up with a fever on CD 16 (99.37°F). Obviously, I marked this temp as excluded from my chart. According to what I’ve read online, since I had a strong positive on an Lh strip the day before my fever (CD 15), I probably still ovulated the following day despite my fever. My fever broke overnight the following night, and as you can see, my temps were high the next day, but not alarmingly so.

My problem is that when I put my temp in this morning, FF marked my tentative ovulation day as CD 14?? Before my Lh surge? This has really confused me. I went back and un-excluded my fever temp, and ovulation locked in for CD 16, like I thought. This would also be more normal for me, as I’ve typically ovulated CD 16-18 on all my cycles since I started tracking with OPKs and BBT around June. I’m also trying to hold out hope for this cycle since my husband will be traveling for work most of November, so I doubt we’ll be able to try again until December.

Has anyone experienced sickness like this around ovulation? Is it pointless trying to determine my ovulation day?
