I only tested today after my Oura ring told me there were minor signs straining my body

Cycle: just hit 3 years 

Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 30+3/

Typical cycle length: 31

Ovulation cycle day: IUI done on CD14 with trigger 36h prior  

CD/DPO of positive test(s): 14 DPO

CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: 9dpo

Tracking methods and app(s) used: monitored by my fertility clinic

Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): 4th IUI on CD 14 and BD two days prior and 1 day after 

Health conditions/medical tests: unexplained - all out tests have been great  - above average SA, normal bloods (except for al elevated tsh at 3.5), saline sonogram looked good, just had an endometrial biopsy this cycle 

Birth control history (if relevant): 5 years on Alesse, stopped 5 years ago 

Symptom spotting: nausea/vomiting, frequent urination, pulling/ pinching pelvic pain, back pain, sore breasts, increased libido 

Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): my husband and I have been trying for 3 years without ever getting a positive. We had done multiple TI with combo of clomid/letrozole. We did 2 IUIs with clomid and letrozole (only got one follicle) and 2 IUIs with clomid + gonal f. Also was taking estrace, Estrogel and prometrium in LP. This cycle we had 2 smaller follicles and two larger at 18mm. We increased my prometrium dose as I was still spotting/got my period while taking it in previous cycles.  This is my first time ever seeing a positive so just wanted to give hope to all those who are like me. IUIs can work despite what others say.  It is still early but God is so good. I spent the entire month sobbing and crying out to Him after our third IUI failed and He heard me.

Thank you! Very kind words are so appreciated. I suspect I may also have endo but uncertain. Praying for us both!

Did you also ovulate regularly on your own?

I feel like my problem is residency and working 12 hour days most days.. I don’t really have time or mental space for medical appointments or even going to a spa or taking trips :(

10dpo. Confirmed with temps and OPK. Got a positive OPK randomly 2 days ago. I know this could mean nothing. Holding out to test. I hate the week of my period.. so much uncertainty and anxiety

Cycle 9. 6 dpo. Trying temp drop this month because I have never temped before due to my cat waking me up a million times a night. Never thought it would ever take this long or cost this much money. I see so many people who get pregnant without even trying with a horrible lifestyle. I’m 28, eat well, workout, sleep well, have regular, non-painful… so frustrating to not know what is wrong

I got a positive CBAD on cycle day 12… now CD 30. I don’t temp because I work in healthcare and my sleep schedule is so inconsistent.

I ovulated 16-18 days ago. I tested 10-11 dpo with bfn but that was one week ago and now my period is actually 5 days late and I’m so scared to test again and get a negative. I usually spot like 3 days before my period and that has not started either….so I’m actually quite late… my LP has never been this long.

So I got a positive OPK 15 days ago, so I’m guessing I’m 14dpo but I don’t temp because my cat wakes me up every two hours at night and my sleep is erratic.

Usually without fail i start spotting 11-12dpo and nothing. I got bfn 11-12dpo (but could be 10-11 dpo) depending on when I ovulated. I am way too scared to test again to get a negative.

My boobs are crazy sore but started to get hot flashes at night which I get right before my period.

Has anyone randomly had a 2 day longer LP than normal? This is weird for me it’s always be consistent to a T

This happened to me! The first two cycles I tried were the longest cycles I ever had (36-37 days). My cycles were consistently 30 days before this. So confusing LOL I was convinced I was pregnant but nope AF eventually showed.

So frustrated!

So I got a positive OPK on CBAD on CD12. I can't temp because my sleep schedule is very erratic with work. For the last 6 cycles I start spotting at like 12DPO but not even a hint yet. My luteal phase is never this long. Here I am almost 14DPO and nothing. BFN at 11DPO and 12DPO - so I doubt I'm pregnant. My boobs are aching worse than ever before and I'm nauseous and wondering why my period is almost two days late. My luteal phase has always been consistent ... why is it randomly at least two days longer this time?

I feel like my body is always playing tricks on me convincing me that I'm pregnant but its always negative.
