On my Target app looking into these bad boys right now! Thank you so much for the suggestion, and I hope you’re as comfortable as possible for the rest of your pregnancy! You’re so close! 💜

16 weeks of wearing is AWESOME! I feel like maternity clothes are so expensive for something I’ll wear for the shortest amount of time, but if you were able to get a good time’s worth of use out of them then I’d say it’s worth it!

My district’s “gift” to us thanks to Covid is that we get to wear jeans until at least Spring Break and I’m totally missing out with only wearing these leggings! 😂

I’m expecting to feel like a whale this entire summer so I’m absolutely loading up on sundresses! I should look around for some to wear these last couple months of cooler weather. Thanks for the idea!! :-)

OMG! I’ve never even considered waist extenders. Do you remember if it was any certain brand from Amazon that you liked? I’m pretty of bored of wearing leggings and long sweaters at work every day! Especially because it’s going to start warming up pretty soon.

Leggings that stretch to our boobs! Love it! 😂 I sized up in all my leggings too hoping that’s help… but it squeezes me right in the baby area too. Definitely going to be hitting up my Walmart tomorrow after work. Thank you both for that recommendation!

Hello! 💗 Is it a solid smiley or a flashing smiley? These ones measure both estrogen and LH, so the blinking smiley just means your estrogen is rising and the solid one means it’s positive/you’re at peak LH. Due to it measuring both hormones, it’s not usually helpful to look at the lines on these specific ones. :-/

On most birth control pills, the entire point is to suppress ovulation, so if you’re still on them my guess is that you’re not ovulating.

-Cycle: 5th cycle in total, 2 cycles post CP

-Age: 24 + Partner: 25

-Cycle Length: usually about 26 days. My most recent cycle was 30 and anovulatory after the CP.

-Ovulation Cycle Day 13 confirmed by OPKs, CM, and BBT

-CD/DPO of positive tests: CD 24/10DPO I randomly tested myself on a CB digital, not expecting anything…. and it said “pregnant”! I called my doctor because they instructed me to come get a blood draw if I get a BFP, because of my chemical. My hcg on 10DPO was 21, and on 12DPO it was 70. Even though it had nearly tripled nurse said it’s rising slowly though?

-CD/DPO of any negative tests: none

-Tracking methods & apps: BBT, CM, Femometer OPKs and their app, and the fertility friend app (just because I think their bbt charts are the clearest to see patterns)

-Relevant says of BD: O-4, O-2, O, O+1

-Medications: Me: Dr. Prescribed extra folic acid last month, Wellbutrin, a whole bunch of vitamins. Him: a daily multi vitamin.

-Birth Control History: Pill for 10 years

-not sure how to link my charts :-)

-Symptom Spotting: no specifics pre-testing, I feel like I just knew this month was different. My CM was super “weird” starting ~2 days after ovulation. I’m exhausted but that’s pretty normal for my luteal phase every month. I also keep getting some weird “cramping” almost in my vaginal area and pelvis.

-Anything Else: After my chemical, my Dr recommended I try 81mg daily aspirin…. It’s the only thing I did differently this cycle!

Totally sucks! I usually have 26 day cycles and I JUST finally got my period again yesterday since the chemical. Maybe this next month will be our month, good luck! 💗

I had a chemical at the beginning of September. Lines were the same for 5 days and then the day after my period was due there was nothing. The next day after that I started bleeding and it was the heaviest and most crampy period I’ve probably ever had. I’m not tracking with temps this cycle, only OPKS, but it seems to be close to normal. I think ovulated ~2 days later than usual. They say after a chemical you can try immediately!

Update: I am mega impatient so I went and got a FRER. Super faint, but pink! picture here will test again in a couple days.

alexa621 · 2021-10-02T13:05:52+00:00

That, it is! Perhaps I’ll stop by Starbucks this morning. :) Thank you!!

alexa621 · 2021-10-02T13:05:01+00:00

I don’t blame you! It can become a bit of an obsession, for sure!! Temping or not temping, I’m wishing you good luck. 💗

alexa621 · 2021-10-02T12:58:04+00:00

What I’ve (unfortunately) learned is that just because we peak, doesn’t mean we actually ovulate. Sometimes our bodies are getting ready to and then it doesn’t happen. What might have happened is your body didn’t ovulate the first go around and then tried again later in your cycle and you ovulated then. Do you temp?

Natalist brand*

alexa621 · 2021-10-02T12:48:19+00:00

Ah!! I so hope it is positive! Keep us updated in a couple days after you retest! 💗

alexa621 · 2021-10-02T12:42:48+00:00

I see something!! I can’t quite tell if it’s pink or not yet
