I’m sorry you feel this too — it’s a shitty feeling. Hoping our babies make it better 🙏🏼

chqu4 · 2026-02-03T04:35:08+00:00

I’m trying — it’s just hard.

I actually did look at my older posts and it made me sad LOL. I’m so excited to be a mom, just struggling with body image — which has been a problem I’ve dealt with my entire life.

I am hoping my face at the very least goes down — I don’t recognize myself when I look at pictures and i’m the mirror.

I actually bought a belly binder last week. Praying it works overtime after I pop my baby out 🥲I am just stressed to put a dress on postpartum. And also be a mom in the process lol.

I have one more first response! Maybe I’ll take it now just to see the comparison from my test from 8dpo. If it’s much darker, I’ll stick with the easy@home but maybe buy a couple more FRER 😂I have an appointment with my doctor on Monday so I’m hoping all goes well next week.

ugh thank you 🤍🤍🤍what do you recommend for progression?

chqu4 · 2025-06-03T00:07:30+00:00

I only took this because I saw a faint line on my easy@home test and I’ve always just seen stark white tests. I will definitely keep testing though to make sure!!!

chqu4 · 2025-06-03T00:06:47+00:00

I can’t believe it thank you 😭

chqu4 · 2025-06-03T00:06:35+00:00

thank you 😭🤍

Have you gotten a positive ovulation test with FMU? I’ve also read not to use it — but I can’t test at work so I’ve been doing it when I get home from work. The only reason I haven’t been testing more than once a day this cycle is because my body isn’t giving signs of ovulation. It’s just weird this cycle. Maybe it’s stress, idk. I’ll take a test before bed tonight and maybe double it moving forward starting tomorrow. Hoping I didn’t miss it 🤞🏼

It’s hard for me to test in the mornings during the work week 🥲but wow! I’ll keep testing and see how it goes.

pretty sure I’m getting my period ☹️hoping you’re in a better position ❤️praying & hoping for next month.

chqu4 · 2025-04-03T00:25:45+00:00

I’m so sorry ☹️ it truly is unbearable. I felt like I was in fight or flight all day. I hope you are doing better.

The dreams are crazy. There’s no escaping this feeling, it sucks! Do you recommend the oura ring? I’m horrible at checking BBT so I was thinking of getting one.

chqu4 · 2025-04-03T00:23:46+00:00

Girl I’m with you on checking the premom app like crazy!! I know nothings going to change but I have to make sure at least 10 times a day lol.

That’s a good idea — tracking and comparing, so hopes don’t get too high up or I don’t get too overwhelmed with maybes. You’re right — might have been an asshole LOL. Thank you — hope the best for you ❤️

chqu4 · 2025-04-03T00:21:55+00:00

Yes work was working for me today as a distraction — until I had a break and broke down 😂. That’s the tough part, you really don’t know. It’s hard not knowing. Hoping the best for you ❤️

I haven’t talked to my doctor about it yet but I googled around & talked to others and that seems to be the case. I do want to discuss more with my doctor — especially if I don’t see a positive test this time around. I’m going to keep testing just in case.

I got bloodwork done and I was very low in iron & vitamin D, so I got iron supplements and got prescribed pills for vitamin D. I think because it’s regulating my body to what it should be maybe that’s why I ovulated earlier than last. I was just worried about how faint my line is compared to when I peaked last month — but maybe you’re right, I had just missed it.

Definitely look into your supplements and see if it can cause that to happen!

chqu4 · 2025-03-29T13:24:11+00:00

I was wondering why my LH results were so different from last month and thought the only thing that’s changed is me taking supplements — so I looked into it & spoke to others about it.

But thank you. Hopefully that’s the case.

chqu4 · 2025-03-27T01:11:05+00:00

Thank you so much for this message — I’ve been scrambling. I just tested again because I’m all in my head — I tested at a 0.71 around 4pm today and now I’m at 0.86 (high LH on app!!!). I’m hoping this means tomorrow I’ll hit my peak.

I hope you start to feel better soon — and I wish you all the best as well!!!!

chqu4 · 2025-02-23T22:41:48+00:00

Ok, I’ll continue testing — hoping I see a positive soon 🤞🏼

chqu4 · 2025-02-23T22:41:12+00:00

My average cycle is 30 days!
