How did you prepare your body for labour and birth? [on]

Tips and tricks on a smooth delivery, minimal tearing. I’m 5ft and petite so any tips and tricks would be great!

Definitely getting an epidural.

Any pregnancy success stories without the use of tracking ovulation (LH strips) and just doing it whenever you felt in the mood? [on]

These LH strips and tracking and making sure my cm is right is making things more stressful!

Bad batch? These numbers seem wrong.

Backstory;

Last period - April 17-23
Fertile Window - April 24-30
Expected Period - May 12-17

May 12th came and went. Took a few pregnancy tests a few days before May 12th too. They all came back negative.

Decided to use LH strips and they came back HIGH. Took a few more and still came back HIGH to the point where the Premom App re-synced so much so that my fertile window is actually May 9-14 and my expected period would be May 28-June 2.

But this whole time May 9-14, I’ve had the brownish/reddish discharge. May 12-14 it’s been the egg white stretchy discharge with a bit of red blood.

So I’m very confused. Are the LH strips actually right? Did I actually ovulate late ? (CD26)

I feel like these numbers are wrong

CD26 - expected period - I decided to take LH strips because all the pregnancy tests I’ve done have come back negative. I only have a bit of the egg white stretchy w/strings of red blood. Originally my app said I ovulated April 28/April 29

I’ve taken multiple first response pregnancy tests and they’ve all come back negative.

Update - possible to ovulate CD26 and CD27

I awas suppose to get my period today. Decided to take a pregnancy test - came back negative. Did LH strips…crazy high, still negative pregnancy but when I got home took another LH. High and Peak. So much so it’s changed my ovulation to this week instead of at the end of April originally. Is it possible to ovulate on CD26 and CD27

u/CurlyGirl_95 — 8 days ago

Is it possible to still get a positive ? - yesterday I was 14 DPO, today I’m 15 DPO

App states I ovulated April 28th/April 29th

3/12 - CD26 - 15 high
3/13 - CD1 - expected period- but testing 17.5 high

Am I considered a late ovulater? Why would I be testing so high if I’m expecting my period soon?

Spotting brown/pinkish discharge the last few days…

I took a pregnancy test on Friday and Saturday and they came back negative.

Should I test now??

App states I ovulated April 28th/April 29th

3/12 - CD26 - 15 high
3/13 - CD1 - expected period- but testing 17.5 high

I’m suppose to get my period tomorrow or Thursday. Was curious to see if I’m a late ovulater or not. Seems odd that it’s showing up as 15 High. Doesn’t seem darker than the original line…also all my pregnancy tests have come back negative

Took it twice in different lighting to see if it made a difference

12DPO …I think I’m out this cycle

FLO says I ovulated on April 29th - 12DPO.

We did it April 25th, 27th, 28th and 29th….but I think I’m out this cycle 😔. I am expected to get my period this Thursday. If I do, once it’s done I think I will go back to tracking ovulation with the LH strips..

u/CurlyGirl_95 — 10 days ago

Did anyone get a positive 10DPO or is it too early to get one?

I took a test today and I didn’t get a second line…but maybe it’s still too early? My expected period is suppose to be May 14th…maybe I should wait until a possible “missed/late” period to test again so I don’t get disappointed..

I’m pretty sure I ovulated while on our anniversary trip in Mexico and honestly if I was a few days too early or a day off it’s ok because we did it a lot lol.

But now I’m in that two week wait window and I don’t know what to do. Yesterday I had lots of cramping but my discharge is still white/creamy/watery. But now I’ve been on instagram looking at videos and reading up on things 🙃

in my mind tho I’m 80% sure I’m not going to get pregnant this cycle - idk why my mind keeps thinking that tho

  1. Pregmate - 26th
  2. Premom - 30th
  3. Flo - 28th

3 different apps, 3 different ovulation dates but I track my cervical mucus and the whole week with those dates it’s, every day it’s been creamy, white, watery and sometimes clear.

I know I shouldn’t base my ovulation from an app but has anyone only used an app and it’s worked.
