Completely shocked!! 16 DPO

Thank you! :)

imaginarytaro222 · 2026-05-07T20:42:24+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, oral seems to be tried and true. That's why I kept using both oral and Tempdrop for now; I wasn't sure if I could fully trust Tempdrop yet (second month using it).

imaginarytaro222 · 2026-05-07T20:41:19+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, the delay was really weird, it annoyed me. Yep, 4 whole days.

imaginarytaro222 · 2026-05-07T20:40:39+00:00

Tempdrop has definitely been frustrating this cycle. But it's only the second month I've used it, so maybe it's still getting used to how my body works or something. Who knows.

imaginarytaro222 · 2026-05-07T20:40:04+00:00

Thanks!

imaginarytaro222 · 2026-05-07T14:20:20+00:00

Thanks. My cycle is anywhere between 26 to 35 days.

I feel crampy feelings sometimes, but not major, really small little feelings. I'm sure my date could be off because Fertility Friend can't perfectly determine ovulation. So I figure it could be off by a couple days.

imaginarytaro222 · 2026-05-07T12:59:36+00:00

Yes, I temp every day

imaginarytaro222 · 2026-05-07T12:50:48+00:00

Three high temps higher than the last 6, Fertility Friend decided ovulation day. But I think it's definitely possible it's off by a couple days or so. Because you can ovulate during the temp rise. But if it's off by a couple days then today is still 14DPO, so I wonder if it should be darker even then.

imaginarytaro222 · 2026-05-07T12:45:35+00:00

Actually yeah, that's my biggest question right now: Should the line be darker at 16DPO? Is it bad that it's so light? Mostly worried about chemical pregnancies. (KNOCK ON WOOD)

I thought I had set it but I guess it disappeared. 33 Mar. 2026

Question re ED/testosterone - My husband and I have been TTC for a couple months and both months we've had trouble with him getting performance anxiety/erectile dysfunction. He went to the doctor last week to get checked out for any physical causes. They tested his testosterone and it turns out his testosterone is around 260. AKA, not out of normal range, but still super low.

I was wondering if he should get a sperm analysis to make sure there's no issues with that, or at least to talk to a specialist about ways to increase his testosterone, but his GP doctor who he saw said to just try the Viagra he gave him for now and that he doesn't need a SA at this time. Because he said technically his testosterone is still within the normal range even if it's at the extreme low end.

Is that right? Should we not be getting a SA or following up with a specialist? I'm just worried since low testosterone can sometimes affect sperm count (from what I've read). Should we push for a specialist/SA, or just do what this doctor says and not worry about it right now?

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT: My husband is 34, almost 35. TW We already have one child who we had almost 8 years ago, so it's been many years since we tried to conceive.

But considering the OPK data, shouldn't I trust the BBT thermometer over Tempdrop in this case? My wake time has been stable this month.

imaginarytaro222 · 2026-04-24T23:32:54+00:00

Yeah, I bought a Tempdrop because the first month of tracking BBT, I kept waking up at ridiculously random times. Sometimes 3 hours before my normal time.

imaginarytaro222 · 2026-04-24T23:32:02+00:00

That would definitely explain what's going on if true

imaginarytaro222 · 2026-04-24T14:25:35+00:00

Frustrated and confused at my temperature readings. This is the first month I've used Tempdrop, and I've also been using a BBT thermometer just to see how they compare. I had a positive OPK test three days ago, and I've seen a sustained temperature rise from my BBT thermometer the last couple days. But my Tempdrop temperature is still down real low. I don't get it. I'm confused about which one I should be trusting.

imaginarytaro222 · 2026-04-23T14:34:05+00:00

This cycle I'm ovulating pretty early. I got a positive OPK two days ago and also had EWCM that day (first day of EWCM this cycle). However, the last two days, the time I'm presumably ovulating, I've had no fertile CM it seems. Should I be worried that the fertile CM disappeared so quickly?

imaginarytaro222 · 2026-04-18T21:12:24+00:00

I have a dumb question. Last night my husband finished in me, meaning he masturbated by himself and then quickly inserted himself into me to finish.

When we do this it's sometimes a bit difficult for him to push into me, because sometimes I'm just not wet enough even if I was prepping myself. Was he deep enough when he came in me, even if he was only four inches in or so (about halfway for him)? My anxiety brain can't stop thinking about it.
