13 dpo, period is 3-4 days late. Negative tests

It’s my first cycle tracking with inito but our third month TTC. Today is day 31 of my cycle, on average my cycles have been 26 days. I was so hopeful that we might be pregnant but negative tests so far. No symptoms of my period or really anything so far. It’s so hard to not get discouraged. I’ve tried first response, clear blue and Premom.

Anyone else have a similar experience? Do people ever get positives past 14 dpo?

Help with ovulation

Hi everyone, I’m new to TTC as our first baby was a complete whoopsies lol.

I have attached the pictures from my natural cycles and LH strips from last cycle and this cycle.

Last cycle I ovulated around CD 17-19. I’m currently on CD 14. I don’t understand why the Premom app is saying I already ovulated and indicating a surge. The line wasn’t even as close to dark as the control line and my temperature doesn’t indicate ovulation.

Chemical pregnancy and a day later solid smiley

I had a chemical pregnancy on June 26. I got my period July 3 and it just ended yesterday. Today I took a clear blue ovulation test and it was a solid smiley. I’m supposed to do an HSG this Thursday, but I don’t know whether to cancel it or not. Is it possible that I really am ovulating right now or did the chemical just confuse things with my clear blue?

Ummm am I pregnant?

Test 1 started out blobby and settled into a half positive line. Not first pee of the morning. Worried it’s a false positive?

Test 2 was an hour afterwards. Different branded test. Diluted urine due to drinking lots of water!

All read within proper listed times (though THIRF attached comparative picture obviously is ‘too late’ for the AM test)

I will test again tomorrow but obviously gagging for info!

Im kinda nervous after what my mom said. I dont FEEL pregnant.

So im only 5dpo and I know im very lively over thinking and that physiologically its not possible to FEEL pregnant at 5dpo. However, I was talking to my mom and we were talking about her pregnancies in the past with me and my brothers. She told me she "just knew" she was pregnant right after conception. Im trying my best not to get my hopes up each cycle bevause of my health conditions, but of course I still want to see two lines one day. Now im kinda freaked out. Im 5dpo and I didnt feel like I "just knew" and still dont. Does anyone have some science to tell me its BS so I can stop overthinking?

P.s. My mom wasnt trying to be obtuse, she knows im not necessarily trying to prevent it, but doesnt know were actively trying. I dont want to get her hopes up.

11 DPO - PdG still high but FRER negative…what do you think of my chart?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some opinions on my Inito chart because I’m trying not to overanalyze everything.
Here’s my timeline:

Stopped birth control a few months ago and this is one of my first ovulatory cycles.

Strong LH surge on 6/24 (36.06).

Pretty sure I ovulated on 6/25 based on LH, BBT, and PdG rise.

Timed intercourse well around ovulation.

My recent hormone values:

Today (~11 DPO):
E3G: 114.15
βLH: 0.12
PdG: 9.34
FSH: 0.41
Earlier in the luteal phase my PdG went:
~6.3 then dropped to around 2–3 for a couple of days
now back up to 9.34

My BBT has stayed elevated above baseline throughout my luteal phase.

This morning (11 DPO) I took a First Response Early Result with first morning urine. It looked negative, although I thought I might have seen the faintest shadow of a second line, but I honestly can’t tell if it’s just an indent.

For those who’ve tracked with Inito:
Does this look like a normal healthy luteal phase?
Has anyone had a similar PdG pattern and still ended up pregnant?

Would you consider an 11 DPO FRER negative to be pretty definitive, or is there still a decent chance if implantation happened later?

I’m planning to test again tomorrow morning. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

9DPO Faint Pos, 10DPO Neg Digital

Yesterday (9DPO) I felt super put off and gagged when I smelled eggs, then when taking the trash can out I immediately puked when I saw a roach outside (lol). Immediately thought I must be pregnant, but we were out of town so I didn’t take a test until I got home around 5pm. I took a cheap line test from HEB (says spd swiss precision diagnostics on the side), and there was a very faint positive (first pic). Hurray!! Not concerned that it was light since it’s early and not first pee of day.

Today (10DPO) I woke up feeling nauseous (good sign). Took 2 tests, same cheap line test and a digital. Cheap line test still has a faint positive, but the line is much lighter (it’s there although you can’t really see on the image). Digital says negative. Second and third pics.

Am I in for a chemical pregnancy? I know a lot of people who said the digital didn’t pick it up until closer to missed period (mine’s due Thursday). I wouldn’t be concerned if the line test was darker or the same & the digital neg, but the fact that the line test has picked up less HCG makes me nervous.

I have a grocery pickup order this evening with more line tests (all I have left is digital), so will test again tonight with a diff brand and again in the morning.

Not calling it until I get my period, and I know only continued testing or getting it will tell me for sure, but would love to hear others’ experiences. I am sitting on the bathroom floor feeling pretty sick so I’m definitely still experiencing symptoms.

Edit to say both lines appeared immediately, developed with the control line, so I don’t think these are evap lines, however I just read up on the unreliability of blue line tests. Ordered some pink line tests and easy@home so will continue to test this week. I think it’s more likely a chemical pregnancy than a true false positive, but really hoping for a BFP by the end of this week. 🤞🏻🙏🏻 second test was only about 12 hours after first test so tomorrow will be the true tell I think.

Double edit I am an idiot and the blue dye tests are both ovulation tests. I am definitely not ovulating and HcG can cause false positives on opks so taking this as a positive sign and waiting for a true BFP ☺️

12 dpo line not progressing

Hey all! I’m kind of freaking out right now. My lines don’t seem to be progressing. Bottom test is 10dpo which is the darkest. Then 11dpo and 12dpo looking the same. Also my temp dropped below baseline today 12dpo. Does this look like it might be a chemical pregnancy? Or am I overthinking it? Any insight would be

Implantation pain?

What did implantation plan feel like? I’m roughly 4-5 DPO, and have a pinching pulling pain in my lower uterus area. I’m not sure what it is? I had the distinct ovulation pain around my positive ovulation test, and this doesn’t feel like that! Anything to hear about. Implantation pain or the bleeding if it happens is helpful!! 🩵✨

10 DPO Negative Test

hi friends, feeling very defeated. i’m on my fourth IUI and got a negative this morning at 10 DPO. did anyone get a stark negative on day 10 but get a positive later on? i really thought i was pregnant this time around.. and IUI is likely my only option as IVF is expensive. Any advice would be helpful
