MOD ANNOUNCEMENT New rules

27 Upvotes

Thank you everyone for your input on new rules.

First important change is that all charts containing pregnancy must be spoilered and using the appropriate flair Please also don't link or update a positive outcome on an earlier post (that isn't spoilered). If people are curious they can check your post history or if they ask for an update you can DM them. (If you want to be reminded about a post to check on later you can always type: remindme! 2 days (or other amount) in a comment and usually remindme-bot will take care of it.)

Also don't tell other people about your pregnancy/success on their unspoilered post. These type of conversations are only allowed on spoilered posts that have the BFP tag. So if you want to ask about success stories - use that. This also includes no talk of living children on unspoilered posts. Pregnancy loss is excluded from this rule but please use the appropriate TW:loss flair or TW.

On cutesy terms the community nearly 50/50. So the only terms that will get now an automod reminder to not use them are: "baby dust" and "sticky baby/bean"

I got a positive FRER last night! Fertility Friend finally showed ovulation as having happened today, Tempdrop has said day 21 for a few days.

Despite the temps, I think I probably ovulated day 19, my temp rises slowly. Still nervous but so excited.

We’ve been ttc for 3 months, known donor with at home insemination. I used letrozole this month. I felt so disheartened as FF didn’t show ovulation and I’ve had a bit of cramping and sore breasts. But the increase in my temp again yesterday made me more hopeful. Ahh!!!

Excited! Just wanted to share my first “proper” chart!

I’ve been TTC for 10 months and bought a Tempdrop recently. It’s been so great to see my chart and have some reassurance that I ovulated when expected! Too early to test but this is the best timing we’ve had in a few months so it’s hard to not be a little hopeful 😂

I also just think it’s so neat that you can manage your fertility and cycles by tracking temperature and mucus. It has been a longer road than I’ve anticipated with one loss along the way, but gosh - if I am ever lucky enough to have a daughter, I can’t wait to empower her with this knowledge when she’s older.

Ovulation Please help me decipher!

This month is my first time officially tracking lh. Premom says I ovulated CD 19, natural cycles has pushed me to CD 27. I’m so confused! My cycle is 33 days long. I’ve ovulated CD 19-25 before. Did I miss peak fertility, or am I just fluctuating until lh surge? I’ve also had to manually put in “negative” on natural cycles because it was reading my .5 and .6 readings as positive. Please help! Thanks:)

Crazy Temps Should I be hopeful?

This is our fourth month TTC, only month 3 of tracking my bbt. Last month I got my period early and my temp dropped two days before. I thought maybe this was happening again, but then my temp jumped up much higher than it’s been before.

Should I be hopeful? So far my temps have stuck to high 97 the other months. This is the first time it’s dipped without my period and then gone higher then my normal

Ovulation Have I ovulated or is this an anovulatory cycle?

I’m so confused, Premom said I ovulated CD15 but my temp dropped and now it’s saying I’m ovulating today?
I thought potentially yesterday I did

CD27, would normally get my period tomorrow, but my BBT is holding strong. Negative test this morning, but 9DPO, I know that would be early. Holding out hope.

So i use oura ring and TempDrop. And they’re starting to line up finally! But does this look like a good sign of possible ovulation temp trends?

Ovulation Low LH surge - can I ovulate?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I only ever seem to get an LH surge in the 0.4 area but it does look surprisingly darker than my baseline which is really low.
Has anyone conceived at these low LH levels?
I am also temping but haven’t seen a rise for consecutive days yet.
Not sure if I am even ovulating!!
For extra context: I was on BC for 16 years and then came off in July so my cycles are probably still trying to find their rhyme again.
I have had fertile looking CM last week (more than normal) but still not sure if I am ovulating and these low LH levels / surges are stressing me out!

Bfn negative this morning. As soon as I saw my temp was still up, I took a test. I’m so confused. I have always had regular cycles and never had >13 day LP.

I was actually somewhat hopeful based on my temps, but this morning woke up to this temp plummet.

Granted, I got horrible sleep last night as I was up with my sick dog the majority of the night.

But, I started getting light cramping last night too.

I was hopeful this month after an HSG, but guess will just wait for AF and start tracking to try for cycle 7…I’m so sick of this process tbh.

Is my trend looking okay? (The huge spike in temp is from when I had Influenza A and had a fever) I don’t understand what the lines mean in term of the axis. 😁

It is the first time that I don't get a temp drop at the end of my luteal phase. I'm hopeful but so scared of seeing a negative!

Normally my charts are pretty ugly but this is the most typical it’s ever looked, taking it at the same time most days definitely helps. Fingers crossed!

Ovulation Was NC wrong?

Post image
0 Upvotes

NC confirmed ovulation on CD14 and I had LH peak on CD14. Normally I ovulate around CD17-20 with about 30 day cycles over the last few cycles. I didn’t test LH after CD14 but now I’m wondering if I may have ovulated around CD20?


r/TFABChartStalkers • • 1d ago

Help? BBT rise but low LH. Is ovulation day right?

First time posting, first time measuring temps, and first TTC, cycle #3. I could not detect any positive LH, 0.8 T/C was the highest on CD12, doing 3 test per day. Last cycle I got a very nice but short positive LH on CD10.

FF confirmed ovulation on CD14. Does this make sense? What do we think?

Any insight is really appreciated

Frustrated Cycle 30-33 BFN

Saying goodbye to Fertility Friend after almost 3 years.

In two days, I’ll be starting IVF stimulation.

I feel like I should be excited. After all, this might finally be what helps us have the baby we’ve been dreaming of for so long.

But instead, my heart is breaking 💔

Starting IVF means letting go of the hope that we could make this happen naturally. And even though I know IVF gives us a new chance, it hurts so much to say goodbye to that dream.

So here I am, saying goodbye to Fertility Friend, symptom spotting, and my thermometer after almost three years of tracking every little sign, hoping every month would finally be the one.

No more fertile windows. No more obsessing over temperatures. No more convincing myself that this month feels different.

I want to feel hopeful. I really do. But right now, all I feel is grief for the journey I thought we'd have. 💔

Ovulation Pls help me understand BBT chart 🙏

Post image
0 Upvotes

My first proper time tracking BBT, not 100% what I’m looking for please help. I’ve been TTC for 2.5 years, on and off I’ve checked my BBT but to be honest with infertility for this long it stresses me out… remembering to test, having to test at the same time everywhere where I’ll be in bed at the same time and just having to do it in general is annoying.

HOWEVER, I’m giving it another go this month. Looking at my chart Have I ovulated? There is a dip on 14th October, cycle day 13 but my temps look a bit all over the place before that.

Take my temp between 5:30 - 6:00am every morning. My darkest LH strips were cycle day 13 (14th Oct) and 14 (15th Oct)

Thank you 🙏
