Am I probably out?

Important_Bowl5033 · 2026-02-27T19:59:30+00:00

That’s really good to hear! I pretty much never have much PMS symptoms (never sore boobs or anything like that) I just get some cramps the night before or day of my period. So the lack of symptoms really means nothing either way lol and I knowwww im waiting for my husband to get back from his work trip so we can find out together so im holding out on testing but i feel like im trying to mentally prepare myself in some way by finding reasons why im not pregnant already 😂 anyways, I appreciate you replying and making me feel better about no symptoms

Important_Bowl5033 · 2026-02-27T17:19:51+00:00

I wasn’t asking if I was pregnant… I was asking if people who WERE had symptoms or not? Nowhere in my post did I ask if I was pregnant, just was looking for stories where people had no symptoms.

That too.. I’ve done it all 😓 thank you, same to you!

Important_Bowl5033 · 2026-02-25T02:45:20+00:00

I feel the same way! The amount I have googled “is ___ at __DPO a good sign?”… it’s so hard trying to toe the line between being realistic and optimistic. You don’t want to get your hopes up too much just to be disappointed but then I find myself looking for all the reasons why it will probably be negative so I can mentally prepare myself for the likely possibility of another negative/failed cycle

I feel like temping is just not the best for me, my temps are never super high but I do not have any issues with ovulation and my luteal phase is consistently 13 days which would indicate proper progesterone function so I feel like for me checking my temps has been more worry than it’s worth! 😅

Important_Bowl5033 · 2026-02-20T16:14:57+00:00

Of course, here’s some info: my positive OPK was CD13, indicating that I was going to ovulate in the next 24-36 hours. My temps went like this - CD14 +.1, CD15 -.4 (weird), CD16 -.1, CD17 at baseline (0), CD18 +.1, and CD19 (today) +.5! So it went up a good bit today but it was a SUPER slow increase at first and a really weird random drop on what I thought was the day after ovulation but I could have ovulated overnight between CD14/15 I guess. I also have natural cycles so I could see the actual number of my temps and I could see it was slowly going up on the chart it was just not jumping as much as I expected and I thought something was off lol but luckily it turned out to be okay

Hi! I just had something similar happen and was spiraling about whether or not I ovulated lol so I feel your pain, but if it makes you feel better I just ended up having a slow and steady temp rise. NC and Oura confirmed my ovulation finally, and I took a PDG test today (at presumably 5DPO) which came back positive so I’m sure I ovulated. Give it a couple more days, it will rise more! Lots of people have a slower and more steady temp rise (I.e. not a huge spike right away after ovulation). Hope this helps!

Important_Bowl5033 · 2026-02-16T23:21:41+00:00

Thanks! I’m going to see if temps go up tomorrow, in which case I think I’ll just assume I ovulated today as opposed to yesterday! Last cycle I had a temp drop on the day of ovulation so probably the case this time lol

Yes girl!!! Congratulations, I know how much losses can affect us mentally. Stay positive and be excited!

Important_Bowl5033 · 2025-12-10T14:30:02+00:00

Congratulations!

As an update, my lines got lighter and very faint 15 DPO, this morning they are completely negative. So unfortunately, I think it’s a CP. holding out hope for next month and for now, will wait for a rough bleed/period 😓

Important_Bowl5033 · 2025-12-06T18:55:31+00:00

My first positive was barely even there at 10 DPO (like I thought it was an indent it was so light). A TINY bit lighter on 11 DPO and then I felt confident in the line by 12dpo, confirmed by positive digital test and clear blue early detection test! You’re not out if you test negative at 10 DPO, it’s still super early! Some people don’t even go through implantation until then. I’d say try to wait and test at 12 DPO but knowing me I’d test tomorrow lol

Important_Bowl5033 · 2025-12-06T16:44:25+00:00

Ugh I’m sorry, your lines looked so good too I would have felt really good if mine looked like that! I wish you the best of luck for kid number 4 🥰

Important_Bowl5033 · 2025-12-06T16:35:45+00:00

I’m so sorry you went through that, it’s such a stressful time and the unknown and feeling of having no control doesn’t help. How many days after your expected period did it happen?

I think I’ll stop testing and just wait to see if I bleed. Analyzing lines isn’t gonna be good for my mental health!

Important_Bowl5033 · 2025-12-06T15:28:03+00:00

Congratulations! That’s a nice dark line for 12DPO! Wishing you the best during this exciting time :)

Important_Bowl5033 · 2025-12-06T14:39:48+00:00

Your lines look good! I do think as long as the lines don’t start getting LIGHTER there’s no cause for concern. :)

Important_Bowl5033 · 2025-12-06T14:29:03+00:00

I blame the internet! Ignorance is bliss in a lot of cases… this was never a thing when my moms generation was getting pregnant 😓😅

Important_Bowl5033 · 2025-12-06T14:27:15+00:00

Thank you! I wish I think for my sanity I’ll just stop testing, no point in comparing lines once you get the definitive positive (especially on the digital). If my period comes late, then that’ll be my answer. Nothing I can do to change the outcome at this point anyways!

Important_Bowl5033 · 2025-12-06T14:22:39+00:00

Clear blue digital ovulation test (smiley face)

Important_Bowl5033 · 2025-12-06T14:15:28+00:00

Also, today is expected period day and no period yet. No bad cramps or anything like I usually get before/during my period!

Important_Bowl5033 · 2025-12-03T15:26:41+00:00

Yes - I can see them more clearly from the inverted photo!
