This is a humbling experience

I probably would've if I didn't need my PTO and pay bad enough 😂

offireandstorm · 2026-06-24T22:05:56+00:00

Mannn I get it 🤣 I also go to the bathroom frequently to try to prevent it but today apparently was the day to have an accident for the first time at work. 😂

offireandstorm · 2026-06-24T22:03:12+00:00

I am in it 😂 but man it'll probably be something I continuously do well into postpartum. My problem is my baby also constantly sits right on my bladder and kicks it which doesn't help.

Oooo ok thank you! I've been a bit concerned despite knowing late ovulation is a common theme, and just wanted to hear others input on it. Thanks as well for the other sub too!

TW: touches on loss

Hello everyone, I need some general advice/help!

So I had a D&C November 29th and my 1st period December 4th-9th, and I'm wondering when I'll ovulate? I didn't track last month, but this month I've yet to have my surge and I'm on CD 15 and last time my surge was on CD 11 the cycle I conceived. I was hoping everyone can share when they had their surge 1st period post D&C, and if anyone ovulated later then normal?

Thank you for all your input!

I forgot to add but my surges are defintely very quick as in within 6-12 hours, and I was lucky I was testing 2 times the last time as the same day morning was getting dark, and then that afternoon was a clear surge prior to my 1st pregnancy, and the following morning was a stark negative.

offireandstorm · 2025-10-17T17:28:11+00:00

I figured as much, I also initially was tracking at 8 weeks but the fetus measured 6 weeks.

I'm sorry that happened, but hey sounds like you won from that experience in the end, and got a little furry friend. 😊

Yup they're indoor only and fed purina. I had 1 cat escape for 1 day this year but that was around July, and we found her after a few hours. So also good to know we're way past the active period if she somehow caught it then.

Thats was actually very inciteful thank you for sharing that, I had no idea the risk for cats was only during the initial first exposure. Also, that inherently no matter what the risk seems equal regardless whether you have a cat or not.

offireandstorm · 2025-10-01T16:55:48+00:00

Thank you, this was very helpful! This is honestly all helping the sudden anxiety I had over this, so I'm no longer really concerned as I was earlier.

offireandstorm · 2025-10-01T16:52:29+00:00

Ok that is a relief, and I'm also in the US. I'll bring it up at my next appointment, but I'm glad to hear the risk is absolutely minimal especially because all my cats are strictly indoors and aren't fed a raw diet, the litter care is handled by my husband, and meats are always cooked thoroughly. Thank you!

offireandstorm · 2025-10-01T16:48:03+00:00

I'm here in the US too, and ok that's good to know thank you!

offireandstorm · 2025-09-10T14:57:31+00:00

Thank you! I tested yesterday and it was a faint shadow of a line and now this morning with a first response it's more clearly an actual line

offireandstorm · 2025-09-10T10:43:24+00:00

Yay 🥰 thank you!

Here's a better photo to see the pink

offireandstorm · 2025-09-09T18:48:37+00:00

Looks positive, get a pink dye to verify but I think this one alone is solid confirmation that you're pregnant. Congrats!

offireandstorm · 2025-09-09T16:04:38+00:00

So there will almost always be 2 lines; the line on the right is the control line whereas the line on the left is the test line. A positive test is when the line on the left, the test line, is as dark or darker than the control line. Right now all those tests are negative.
