Currently 7 weeks pregnant with my first. Over the last few days I’ve noticed a gradual decrease in my pregnancy symptoms with today feeling completely normal. No more nausea, boob soreness is very minimal, and I have alot of energy. Sensitivity to smell and food aversions gone.

The only symptom I’ve really experienced is mild cramping and lower back pain today.

My temps have dropped below baseline several times throughout the weeks with the lowest -0.6 below.

Anyone experience anything similar? I already saw baby on ultrasound at 6w+1d with a FHR of 114bmp. I also had a subchorionic hematoma at 6 weeks with brown spotting which seems to have cleared up.

Did I actually ovulate? Very long cycle after previously regular cycles
Hi everyone,
I’m currently on cycle day 66 and I’m starting to wonder whether I actually ovulated at all this cycle.
Normally my cycles are pretty regular, usually around 26–32 days, so this is very unusual for me. This is the first time I’ve had such a long cycle.
Looking at my temperature chart, there seems to be a possible shift around CD53, with several higher temperatures afterwards, so initially I thought I had ovulated around then. However, my temperatures then dropped again and I still haven’t gotten my period.
If I did ovulate around CD53, I would now be roughly 12–13 DPO. My pregnancy tests have been negative so far. My luteal phase is normally quite short, around 8–10 days, which makes it even more confusing that my period still hasn’t started.
I also seem to have had several possible “attempts” at ovulation earlier in the cycle, judging by the fluctuations in my temperatures.
What do you think when you look at this chart? Does it look like I actually ovulated around CD53, ovulated at another point, or could this be an anovulatory cycle altogether?
I’d especially love to hear from anyone who normally has regular cycles but suddenly had one very long/anovulatory cycle like this.

wondering if anyone has ever gotten their bfp past 13dpo… my bbt normally drops at 10dpo and i get my period the following day. I had some light spotting/cramping yesterday but nothing today. I suppose this could just be a longer cycle, but hoping there’s still a chance for a bfp 🥹🌈

PLS 🙏help what day you think i ovulated? Starting to HATEEE Natural Cycles.. No way I ovulated this late. Early morning on CD14 got positive LH, extreme EWCM and ovulation sensations…

I’m constantly concerned about my short luteal phase. Fertility friend and natural cycles wants to over ride ovulation to day cd18 and cd19. I think it was cd17 based on my LH. I woke up with cramps today so I’m feel defeated again. Cycle day 25 (today) is usually about the time I get my period or at least start spotting. Do you think I’m out? Today is 8dpo at the latest.

10 DPO and tested negative this morning using First Response. My luteal phase is never more than 12 days, so I’m never sure when testing too early is actually too early. I’ve been having a lot of breast tenderness and some mild cramping, but trying to remain realistic that it could also be period symptoms. The wait to test is so brutal 😭 I know I probably should wait until Tuesday to test again, but I’m going nuts here.

NC was predicting I might ovulate on the 12th/CD 15 (was pushed back multiple times, hence so many LH tests). Never got a positive LH test. My period came and after logging it NC is now claiming to confirm I ovulated on the 5th/CD 8 without a sustained temp rise… I’m so confused.

What would be best days to conceive based on these readings please

I had the shock of my life this morning seeing my temperature spike so much so I did a text and it’s positive!! I’m pregnant ! Which is crazy as I don’t think we timed it as accurately this cycle and only had time to BD twice in the fertile window!
I wanted to share as I was desperate to see this kind of info when TTC. I know it’s so early and anything could happen but just seeing the positive after so many negatives is crazy!
I also had no symptoms at all, I didn’t think I was pregnant, 0 symptoms so if you’re feeling the same, don’t count yourself out!

Hello! Just a little confused by my chart. I have never had this happen before I am also new to this. This is only my second or third cycle using Natural Cycles.

My sleep schedule was a little different last night .
I took a late nap from 4 to 7 PM (which oura counted as my sleep). Then I was up a couple of times thereafter..

Is that what could be throwing off my temp today??

I swear it thinks I ovulate two days later than I actually do…

I had EXTREME EWCM (like mucus plug) & felt my self ovulate on cycle day 14.. but it thinks i’m ovulating today and i’ve been dried up ever since

any input or idea why?

Hello all, I’m going through a very long cycle, and seems to be with no ovulation. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. My doctor mentioned in my last check up I could have PCOS (PMOS), but wanted to give me more time. Been off hormonal BC since Nov 2025. TTA. Thoughts on what’s happening here…?

One note to add, I am on a 28 day antibiotic (Doxy) for long term Lyme treatment and taking low dose Levo for the first time for Hashimotos.

Hi all! This is my third cycle trying for a baby, my first cycle using natural cycles. to be honest this entire process is confusing and very emotional. I know I am only on my third cycle but I just always thought it would be one cycle and it would happen. This cycle I never tested positive on a LH strip and tested negative today and yesterday. I had some brown spotting today which is not normal for me. Any insight on my chart?? Thank you in advance 🤍

This is my second cycle after experiencing a chemical in June. Last month my temp remained flat after ovulation. I was 100% convinced that I was SOL this month since I “ovulated” on the 6th and my temp didn’t start rising until a few days after.

Has anyone experienced this and still conceived?? I don’t want to give myself false hope this month 😩
