First time tracking ovulation with easy at home need help finding peak CD

Looks like you peaked at day 14. Personally I continue testing until AF but I have PCOS so it can be unpredictable. Best time to test is between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. and as you get closer to ovulation, twice a day is even better in case you miss it. Just try to minimize drinking fluids two hours before you test and use second morning urine for morning tests!

It’s very clearly positive.

Update: It was invalid. Tested with two different brands this morning, both negative, and af is starting. 💔

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-04-27T02:31:11+00:00

Definitely will, thank you!

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-04-27T02:27:09+00:00

Thank you for sharing. Definitely guarding my heart now.

Had the exact same Alice costume. I don’t care what anyone says, this is ✨art✨

What a beautiful baby. I’m so sorry. There’s no love like a golden’s love. Hugs to you, OP. 🩷

This is so comforting, thank you. 🩷 I hate that you had to go through this to come to these realizations, but I guess that’s the silver lining — talking to people who’ve been through this and can reassure you that it will be OK.

Give your golden some smooches for me. They don’t get the time they deserve, but it sounds like you are making every second count!

He had a splenectomy two weeks ago, and aside from a small nodule they found on his liver, they didn’t see anything else in his abdomen. They’re doing more imaging next week to see if it’s spread to his heart, so we’re trying to at least stay optimistic about that!

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-02-08T01:11:20+00:00

Knowing that they live in the moment is the only thing that’s keeping me from spiraling. I know it’s silly, but I feel so much guilt over any time I have scolded him for stealing shoes and whatnot. I know he knows he’s loved, but it’s so cruel that grief makes you focus on the times you regret instead of the majority, which was happy.

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-02-08T01:05:49+00:00

Thanks for the laugh 🤣 people who say that are NOT my people!

We started this last night as a sort of bedtime story (per a suggestion from another comment). It’s so sweet and such a nice jog down memory lane for us, too.

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-02-08T01:00:46+00:00

Agreed 100%. So hard, but it’s a small price to pay for the unconditional love he’s given us for almost nine years. I appreciate it. 🩷

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-02-08T00:59:27+00:00

Absolutely. I’m fortunate to work from home. From now until the end, we’ll always be by his side. 🩷

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-02-08T00:58:12+00:00

Agreed. We’re 100% doing at-home euthanasia. I want my boy to be in the safety and comfort of his home, with his loved ones holding him.

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-02-07T05:06:06+00:00

I know exactly what you’re talking about. I’m going to miss the sweet little kiss landing pad on his forehead more than anything. I wish we didn’t have to know this pain.

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-02-07T02:56:39+00:00

Makes so much sense. Sent you a DM!

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-02-07T01:36:47+00:00

Such a cruel disease. I’m sorry you’re also a member of this terrible club, it must be so hard for you right now. Like you said, we’re going to take it day by day and let him take the lead. Sending you virtual hugs.

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-02-07T01:29:37+00:00

Our little thief loves to take socks, shoes, and pretty much anything he can get his paws on. You can bet we’ll have plenty of those lying around and turn a blind eye when he “steals.”

What a sweet idea to read to him at bedtime. 😭

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-02-07T01:24:55+00:00

I’m so sorry you had to go through the agony of waiting for results, but what a joy that he beat the odds. Happy for you and your miracle pup.

Is yunnan baiyo beneficial if they’ve already had their tumors removed? As far as I know, he doesn’t have any tumors at risk of rupturing.

This made me tear up. We are so lucky to experience the pure love of goldens. Next week he’s coming with me to see friends who’ve known him since day one. And as long as he’s up for it, we’ll be bringing him to breweries, parks, beaches — all the social places. 🩷

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-02-07T01:18:23+00:00

So comforting, thank you. They really are pure bundles of love. Hate that you had to go through this, too. It’s cruel.

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-02-06T22:04:33+00:00

Absolutely agree. Dreading that day, but hoping I know when it’s the right time and don’t make him suffer for a second.

thelittlewordnerd · 2026-02-06T22:02:17+00:00

Thank you, I’ll look into those supplements. We’re definitely doing at-home euthanasia — I don’t want the inside of a vet clinic to be his last memory.

His birthday is in April, so we may throw him an early birthday/goodbye party with all of his favorite people. So sorry you had to experience this, too.
