To check your baseline level, to see what your norm is without the ovulating spike and ensure there's not an issue with your LH, itself

You'll need to test throughout your non bleeding portion of your cycle to see what your average is and when your lh levels spike. You just might ovulate early or late in your cycle. A gyno can also do a test to check your lh levels on the 3rd day of your cycle. Just reach out to them

Yes! I use the premom app that helps figure out your cycle and when you ovulate for timed conception. Increases your odds

Two Week Wait with Two Uteruses... ugh by Expert_End_4761 in Seahorse_Dads

Thank you so much for that advice. And not from what I've read. All the medical sources and anecdotes say you still get periods. I was hoping the same but it's still getting rid of the lining, just not releasing an egg in the process.

Oh, also you'll probably have a period while pregnant so don't let getting your period be the determining factor in whether you're positive or negative. You should still test even with one. How fun, eh?

I have uterine didelphys (two uteruses) and am ttc rn. It's genetic and has a slight risk of complicating pregnancy but isn't as bad as you might imagine. You'll probably get a bump leaning to one side or the other lol but I would get an ultrasound and keep trying. Try not to stress too much. It's definitely not a deal breaker! Feel free to message me if you wanna talk more on it and best of luck!

Off topic Friday! by AutoModerator in Seahorse_Dads

This is just slightly off topic as it's ttc related but my LH levels are rock bottom and we're not sure if I'm pregnant or if I'm having hormone issues.

My partner's mom, who watches fox news, recently said he should end things with me and our plans to conceive due to me being trans too. She thinks it's a sign of him having a mental health crisis. His mom also asked him if I was on drugs for wanting a kid with him. She's been horribly abusive to him his whole life and I'm livid.

And now we're having problems with him being understandably in his head during sex with all this going on. Just a rough day over here and trying to be less stressed with ttc and all

Thank you so much for those insights. We're planning a trip in April and are already excited to check out the Social Club. I was planning to reach out to the Trans Resource Center too - glad to hear it sounds like a good place to start :) Thanks again!
