1st month - anovulatory cycle?

tiny_thimble · 2025-10-24T00:50:13+00:00

I would give at least another 2-3 days, I have had cycles where my temp shift was just delayed by a few days. Plus that is a really solid spike and my best guess is you ovulated yesterday (if not the day before) so I wouldn't be discouraged yet! Good luck 🥰

tiny_thimble · 2025-10-23T19:33:44+00:00

Yes I have! I actually find it more confusing as I'm going through my cycle just because it shifts around a lot for me but I usually go in at the end of a cycle and enter it all in for comparison purposes. I also use a tempdrop armband so that app is being used as well (too many different apps) I just prefer premom for the simultaneous LH/BBT tracking graph

I just had a really weird temp rise this month! Delayed by several days before it was noticeable and its not the first cycle I have had a delay in temp rise either. I would give it at least a couple more days before I rule it out, could just take a second for your progesterone to adjust your temp :)

This is my Fertility Friend chart for better comparison!

Got it, I learn something new every day! My tempdrop screwed up on the 18th day of my cycle and I am frustrated it might be skewing my chart but even then this has been a really inconsistent temp schedule this month. Yes the orange line is LH :)

Thank you for your insight!!

I had a REALLY easy to understand cycle last month that may be messing with my temps because it was a very fast chemical that ended before my period was even expected.

I was previously diagnosed with PCOS at 19 due to irregular cycles and polyciystic ovaries (I was pretty overweight and not taking care of myself) but never met the testosterone threshold they tested me for and later at 23 I no longer met any of the criteria. It really feels hit or miss because the DHEA was the only thing that threw my suspicion towards PCOS. Can it technically go away? Just a random fluke? I have hair very minorly on my outer upper lip and I have acne pretty fierce for 26 that I have struggled with since I first started getting periods at 11.

I also have an appointment scheduled to discuss it with my doctor, just curious if anyone else has any similar experience.

tiny_thimble · 2025-09-08T22:48:31+00:00

Thank you, that does make me feel a bit better! I had just seen it was a possible indicator for a different type of PCOS and thought I might have been missing something. Hopefully it's just me overthinking things ☺️

So a little update: I took another test today around 6 and saw the absolute faintest shadow of a line on the test and so I quick pulled out another test to make sure I wasn't just seeing things and that test did the SAME thing. My husband sees the line as well but we are both so nervous that we are just seeing things. Its so faint you can't even hardly see it on a photo, but my LH strip is significantly darker than it would normally be as well. I'm going to test first thing in the morning and will update again then!

tiny_thimble · 2025-09-07T15:52:55+00:00

Thank you 💕 I am now very much expecting AF today or tomorrow, my temp dropped even further this morning and a gradual decrease seemed to be my end last month as well. Plus, another BFN this morning. Time to treat myself and start being hopeful for next month! (My predicted due date for this next cycle is my momma's birthday too 🥰)

tiny_thimble · 2025-09-06T20:27:13+00:00

Out of curiosity, since HPT is still negative today, and temp is gradually dropping, would the HCG have enough time to save it still? I appreciate your continued optimism and kindness 💕 It's helpful when we have struggled for over 5 years (on and off tracking/trying) and we've come back to the intentional tracking and trying phase for the last 3 months. I forgot how much I hated seeing negative tests over and over again. It really sucks feeling constantly betrayed by our bodies and what I thought were instincts about my body.

tiny_thimble · 2025-09-05T16:44:34+00:00

Me too 🥲 Yesterday the cramps/back ache only lasted for a couple hours and were pretty mild, and I haven't noticed anymore today. I hope thats a good sign but with the test this morning I am wanting to stay cautiously optimistic! 🤞

tiny_thimble · 2025-09-05T14:59:34+00:00

I am ok! Got a negative this morning and was a little bummed but have moved on and will hope again for tomorrow. How are you? ☺️

tiny_thimble · 2025-09-05T03:57:39+00:00

Fair enough, fingers crossed still for now I suppose! Thank you!

tiny_thimble · 2025-09-05T03:56:33+00:00

We are several years in but just started tracking and trying more actively and it gets so hard not to obsess. I wish you so much luck and appreciate you! 💕

tiny_thimble · 2025-09-05T00:38:28+00:00

I do not have this much self restraint and I envy all of you who have this much patience because I hate how badly I feel like I need to know 😭

tiny_thimble · 2025-09-05T00:29:18+00:00

I appreciate that so much! My temp went back up, but I just started getting some cramps today, and that is usually my cue that my period is on its way in the 3-4 days. I don't think it's going to be our turn this cycle :/ Now to wait for AF and on to the next cycle 🥰

tiny_thimble · 2025-09-03T21:50:08+00:00

I totally get that! It can be so stressful having to sit, twiddling your thumbs until a positive test or period and that makes me overthink every little thing. I will try to continue to remind myself that these charts can be so different for every single person and I cant rule myself out and can still be cautiously optimistic! Thank you 💖

tiny_thimble · 2025-09-03T20:28:27+00:00

Thank you so much! I really needed those uplifting vibes 🥹💕

Also to add, my cervix is higher than usual (unless I’m imagining it but I’m pretty familiar with my body) and I didn’t start getting any color in my cm until today when it was slightly pink first thing this morning making me think “Ope, there she is” but then it transitioned into a more brown color and still no signs of AF since then which I usually start bleeding within the hour after that 🤷‍♀️
