Good evening all! Anyone can help me understand please 🤔 i'm cycle day 20 and had THE ewcm yesterday so i tested LH 2 days in row but It says Negative. I thought i ovulated this month cuz i felt the ovulation cramps (but i didnt test LH back then) and i didnt have ewcm before yesterday 🤷🏻‍♀️!
Usually the ewcm is a indicator for me for ovulation and i dont get it past ovulation, i dont understand why LH strips says negative 🤦🏻‍♀️! What do tou think?

Hey girl,
I would go off your ewcm this month and next month maybe start testing LH from CD12 morning/evening so you know when the peak was !

If the EWCM has only just started you may get your surge in the coming days 😊 or if you’ve already ovulated as suggested then it’s possible you also won’t see an LH surge on a test this month. Can only recommend to continue testing to determine either way!

Welcome back @HE93C !
Sorry to hear about your BFN ...! I hope
You had a lovely holiday though.

@KT199 god I don't think I'd be good at temping , my chart would probs be all over the place !
Just wait and see girl ... it's the only way I guess...

@Itstime2023 totally up to you !
How many dpo are you ?

Agreed. I have a feeling maybe the vitamins/supplements I started this month may have affected my cycle as there’s nothing else I can think of! Will give it a few days and see where I’m at!

Just caught up after a weekend away, congratulations to those with their positive tests!!

I am 10DPO and been negative the last 3 days so pretty much lost hope for this month but period due on Thursday so we shall see.

My period is due on Friday.
I was wondering about doing an early test or just to hold off.

That's super interesting @KT199 , I do not know how to read bbt! Why cd13? How can you tell ? I thought it was based on the temp dip ? (It's a genuine question as I'm clueless lol! )

I believe you need 3 temps higher than the last 6, to confirm ovulation. I did think from my chart it looked more likely to be CD12, but if that was the case I’m already a day late.. and I didn’t get a positive LH until CD13. It’s all so confusing

@KT199 hi lovely, I didn't dare asking how you were today !
No testing for me as I'm only 3 dpo ! I'd really love to hold off until AF is due but I'll see lol.
Yes, remember what the gyno said on her video, there's no late period but rather either pregnancy, or late ovulation. Did you test with strips too by any chance ? Did it correlate with the temp ? I'm gonna start temping I think but I've had agitated nights recently so I wonder how relevant it would be ...

Yeah I did use the LH strips, and BBT confirmed it really soon after the surge. I was shocked as none of it followed previous cycle patterns, my surge and peak only lasted about 20 hours this time on CD13 (which is much earlier and shorter than previous) and BBT confirmed ovu for CD13, again earlier I usually ovulate CD15/16. I carried on testing just to be sure in the mornings until CD15 and my LH stayed low. Tbh I’d prefer AF to just show if it’s not positive, then I’m onto a new cycle!

I think as long as your getting 4 hours solid sleep and that is at roughly same time everyday you can test even if it’s the middle of the night providing it’s consistently done at that time every day.. it would just be abit inconvenient 😂 I’ll show you my chart for this month. I test at 6am and if I’ve not had the solid sleep I will exclude my temp

Any ladies testing today?

My AF hasn’t arrived yet.. I normally wake up to it and I would’ve normally been spotting yesterday which never happened. Wondering if I ovulated later than my BBT suggested 🤷🏻‍♀️ nothing is simple in this journey 😂

Morning thank you so much. We need to keep them BFP coming!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Morning all please don't tell me off why I've done this I don't know ... I took a strip test thought nothing of it then I thought my eyes were playing tricks as in real life there's a small VVVVVFL so took a clear blue ...

Amazing! Congratulations!! 💛

@KT199 you are not out until AF shows 🤞🏻 fingers crossed for you.
Those two BFP in this thread are a good sign maybe it will work out for all us who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️💫

Seconding @Heartypandaa on this as I also heard a lot of ppl say their first v v v v faint line was 12/13 dpo. Depends on implantation. But keep us updated regardless girl 🤞🏼

Lila34830 · 02/11/2024 20:43

@KT199 are you feeling any better ?
Will you test again tomorrow or if AF is late just in case ? Xx

No, really can’t shift the headache and my boobs are still so sore. I usually spot 12 DPO and no sign of that.. so unsure if AF is gonna turn up or just delay herself to annoy me 😂. I’ll probably wait another 2/3 days if she doesn’t show, but suspect I can’t possible be pregnant as negative test this morning.

hahahaha, I do not blame you!! Hopefully it will still have been enough🤞

@KT199 might try tonight but the exhaustion is real today 😂😂😂

Hahaha!! Only do it if you can be bothered and want to 😂

My PMS symptoms are SO intense today, AF is due tomorrow. I don’t have any cramping but I have the worst headache ever, painkillers aren’t helping and my boobs are the sorest they’ve ever been. Jogged back to the car after leaving a shop and they actually hurt so much that I stopped. I’ve never had them this bad before, wonder what the heck is going on! I thought I was all out of tests but I had a clear blue left that I didn’t realise and did it this morning and was negative so defo think AF will show.
