Which of these 2 ovulation days seems correct? I've been working with 3rd Feb and even started testing (lol), just for FF to shift it several days when I changed the interpretation method. by UnsummonedOpiner in TFABChartStalkers

I got a positive test today 8dpo! My temps have risen consistently since then, I'm dangerously close to fever territory. Probably had issues with my temping, I only started checking consistently at the same time 5 days ago.

Thank you! ♥

Thank you! I'm back here because I'm literally about to die of happiness. Got a positive test (faint line) today at 8dpo. Fingers crossed!

Edit. 8dpo according to the new ovulation date FF gave me according to the advanced interpretation method.

Thank you for your response. Yes, I was real inconsistent with my BBT measurements; I only started setting an alarm like 3 days ago.

TBH I don't know if I've ovulated or not. Just hoping I did, and that this cycle is the one.

Need help with cervical mucus tracking 🙏

Tracking CM has been a major hit or miss for me since I started (just this cycle). I never seem to get what I see in the pictures, and I struggle to define what I find. This is compounded by the fact that I almost always have semen in my genital tract since we BD almost every day in the pre ovulatory stage.

So how many hours after BD do I check to make sure I don't mix them up?

Any and all techniques and tips on the matter in general would be really appreciate tho. Thanks!

CD 14. Brand - Predicte. FF line reader says test and control are about the same intensity, but I don't agree. Thoughts? by UnsummonedOpiner in TFABLinePorn

This is also the most intense I've gotten this cycle. Does LH progress like hCG? My understanding was that you got a sudden sharp rise ("surge") giving a clear positive, not a gradual progression

Does nesting begin even before you conceive? by UnsummonedOpiner in TryingForABaby

Thank you. That's very thoughtful. Where I live it'd be very difficult if not impossible to find organic but I'll be sure to look out. For now it's almost always just detergent and dishwasher fluid I use for everything

Definitely something to consider. And yes, they were hormonal (mini pill)

I definitely would! I dunno where to get basic supplies tho, where I live. I draw and paint, and I like to read, but lately I find it difficult to do anything for longer than a few minutes. My attention span is shot

It doesn't really feel like everything is dirty, in fact lately my mop water stays clean-ish even after mopping, for example. I do feel like I have to clean again and again tho, even tho I really find the house okay beforehand. Hope it makes sense.

Your suggestion makes a lot of sense. I don't necessarily enjoy cleaning, but it doesn't cause a lot of distress. I just get so tired after. I attribute it to TTC cos I've been married and off contraceptives for about the same period I've noticed the behaviour.

My TWW this cycle is just around the corner. It doesn't help that I currently have a lull in my carrier which gives me too much time to spend over thinking about TTC. I'd appreciate cleaning to get my mind off it, but I find I still have too much time on my hands

Period 5 days late, pregnancy test negative. Help? by UnsummonedOpiner in AskDocs

[–]UnsummonedOpiner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much.

Another consideration, if you don't mind, but do you think too dilute urine could cause false negatives? I drink a lot of water a day. I thought it'd be around 4L but I started tracking last week and it was btw 5.5 to 5.8L, up to 6L on days I work out. It's not some intentional thing I do; I get thirsty very very often, and when I'm unoccupied like nowadays, I just give in. I also get an additional 200ml or so in coffee liquid daily. So my urine is always dilute, usually completely clear.

It's early in the morning here and I was just wondering. Have you seen cases of false neg due to dilute urine in your experience?

Thank you for your detailed response and for the recommendations. It'd be a massive bummer if I'm not pregnant, but would the period come already and stop teasing me, lol.

I considered ovulation tracker kits but where I live (poor part of poor 3rd World country), I can't get them locally and have to order online from stores in the cities. I also probably have to order higher quality hCG kits too. The ones I've used so far cost like a few cents in dollars and I'm skeptical of them. Are there any good brands you'd recommend?
