I'm pre-TTC. I'll be getting my IUD removed in a few months and will begin tracking my cycles for a year before we TTC. I want to go into our TTC journey as educated and empowered as possible. I think it helps with my anxiety about the upcoming TTC journey.
We’re on month 12 of ttc. This is our 3rd month tracking ovulation this time around. We tried for about 10 months last year and took a break ttc until January of this year. But I’ve noticed I am ovulating according to my test strips and cervical mucus, this would be my second baby and my hubby’s first! Baby dust to you love! ✨❤️
This is the first time we have actually planned to have a baby. I am very in tune with my body and know when I am ovulating but decided to use the tests just to be more vigilant when to really try and get pregnant. I've had several negatives in a row but I was taking them all in the morning. I'm going to start taking them in the afternoon and see how my results are then! Thank you for this video!
You have to take them very day at the same time I am in TTC groups and I watch RU-vid videos so they been helping me for years and you have to take them in the afternoon say like you test at 12 pm you test again the same time the next day so when you see you test getting darker test 2 times a day when it get dark say like you test at 12 pm take another one at 8 pm
I ttc for about 1 year before stopping and adopting my child. Now (almost 2 years later) im getting back into ttc with just testing and prenatals for the next few months. I plan on trying again in the next 4-6 months and needed a refresher, so thank you!
Thankyou so much for this! First month with OPKs, and I missed my surge, my tests came with no instructions and I was only testing once a day and I was testing as soon as I woke, next month I’ll test in the afternoon and I’ll double test when I think necessary, thankyou 😊
TTC conceive baby #2. I'm at 1 DPO. Easy at home tests have been amazing teamed up with the Premom app. I was using another tracker. That app had my ovulation day 4 days later than the Premom. So I would have missed my actual ovulation day. I love how I can track my test results in Premom. It reads them easily. I'm also physically tracking in a notebook.
Taylor Paige don’t give up hope! Try not to stress about it too much, positivity attracts positivity! You’ll get your baby soon! Good luck and sending you lots of baby dust! 💕
easier said than done, but try not to stress abt it. if u can find it, grab urself some pre-seed. it's a lube that helps with conception & ive been successful. I just bought one recently as we are ttc again. best of luck & lots of baby dust to u!
Omg so I've been testing my ovulation kit at the wrong time this whole cycle D; I did manage to get my peak but wish I knew better. Thank you! this was so helpful!
Me and my fiance have being ttc for 2 years. Found out i had some factors and now that im healthy, were very very hopeful. I had a 2 day period and im totally in denial of my negative test but instead of buy more tests im going to wait and see what my next period (if i have one) looks like. I used one step one test. Staying hopeful
On my 3rd month ttc. 2nd month of using ovulation strips instead of my "app" that was WAY off. Hoping for a postive this cycle. I got my peak today. We've been baby dancing for a few days before and will continue until my test come back low♥️♥️
First month TTC & at first my lines were very faint . Once I started taking mucinex my lines instantly got darker & I reached a peak within 4 days of taking it . Hopefully I get pregnant on my first try 🤞🏼
I think there’s something wrong with me, every month this year 2021, I get positive tests, but it only lasts 2 days then it fades…. And I live in a isolated place, we just have a small clinic here and not a big hospital where they can test ur whole body, so feels like I won’t know what’s wrong with me and why I keep getting chemical pregnancies
This was suuuuper helpful thank you! 33 years old and first time TTC. Having a lot of trouble lol. Question though: on the strips can you shake the strip to dry it quicker or is that going to alter your results? Thanks girl!
Tbh the hardest thing is that amazon does not ship to me most of the things and it so hard to find a good price ovulation test where Iam the best one is 3 strips for 39 dollars 💔
I’ve been using the clear blue not the smiley ones, and my dr and friends that are ttc said to use it in the morning. I did today and got a strong positive,I hope I don’t mess up my opportunity! My husband and I are a year and a half ttc!
I'm turning 34 in December and will be starting ttc for the 1st time ever. I need all the advice!!! I use ovia ap, and I have pregmate coming from Amazon by Wednesday. I'm worried about being too old.
@@kendrahanna8785 I wish I knew!!! Its so frustrating bcuz I just started trying and its been 5 months. Im trying not to over think but its hard not to
@@brittanylynnz this cycle was the very first time that I was TTC...followed my period app...did the deed on all 3 days before the ovulation prediction date, on the date and after...went through the crucial 2 weeks of waiting and boom...this morning menstrual came :( So, I've now tune in to watching these videos...
Hey! Thanks so much for the video - very informative. I was just wondering the correct app you use - it shows 2 different ones in the app store. Yellow or a blue/green. Could you let me know, please?
So what does it mean if you get like 4 days of very strong positive opk? I get that every month and it confuses me so much! Like what one is the real positive and when will I ovulate
I am ttc and today makes it a year. Last October, I had an early miscarriage and I have been trying to conceive since. But it seems like I have been doing the ovulation test all wrong. I use a digital ovulation kit and I thought that when the smiley face comes on, it meant that I'm ovulating and that is when I need to have sex. Baby number one came so easy without even trying and trying for number 2 has been a little difficult. Ugghhhh
OMG. This is my first cycle using ovulation test strips. I did all the tests at different times. Still not sure with the pattern. I'm worried I missed the right ovulation time.
I had a miscarriage 6 months ago. Since then i had 4 periods. My cycle was ranging from 32-35 days. 3x of my periods were on time on 32 days. My last period was on day 39 and it lasted for 3 days instead of 4!. I thought maybe it was hormonal imbalance this month i am using clear blue digital since 8 days i had high fertility i am cd 28 and no sign of ovulation!
From other videos it was recommended to take two tests, obviously not the same ovulation test but use a different one a brand new one in the am & the other in the pm. Why is it not best to use two tests in a day ?
I’m 23, went and got my thyroid checked and said my levels and everything is completely healthy I’ve been test ovulation for 3 months and I haven’t gotten a peak at all. All my levels stay the same. Does that mean I don’t ovulate at all?
this video was very informative but I have a question! so if I took an ovulation test in the morning and it was positive, to the point where the test line was darker, it’s wrong? since you said ideally they should be taken in the afternoon
I think if you take a test first thing in the morning and it’s really positive and the test you took the evening or day before wasn’t positive then you should get to baby dancing! Lol .. it’s not wrong it’s just recommended to take the tests in the afternoon since that’s usually when an LH surge occurs but everyone is different!!
If it’s blinking you are in high fertility and should BD with your partner. Once the smiley face comes up as a constant you are at your peak and should ovulate writhing 12-48 hours. Keep BD-ing during that time. The Clearblue test will stay in that setting for two days so you won’t be able to test with it during that time.
Im so confused... my ovulation test doesnt coordinate... im supposed to “ovulating” today accoridng to the calculation, but according to the strip im not ovulating.. ive been testing 5 days before my “ovulation”time.. idk if tht makes sense but yeah... please advise.. idk what im doing wrong...
The apps go by the average 28 day cycle. It’s very rare for women to fall into that average because our cycles vary so widely. For example, my cycle is 30-32 days so the suggested fertile window that the apps are giving doesn’t fall in line with my actual ovulation day. Most apps can start to be more personalized and can predict your cycles if you can enter your actual ovulation based on the OPKs. I know it can be confusing but don’t be discouraged! If you are testing for ovulation and haven’t gotten a surge in a few months to indicate you are ovulating, you may want to talk to your doctor about possibly having PCOS
Ttc for long time.. never got a positive test not even once. Seems likes I’m not ovulating.. I’m been taking pink stork fertility pills, prenatal and evening primerose seed.. can’t afford to been a by a doctor. To diagnose me. I think I have pcos coz I’ve been irregular all my life. Any suggestions?
I feel like my tests aren’t getting darker thou??? Like I test a few times a day because I can’t help it😂 but I just feel like my tests take ages to progress the dye takes ages to run through... and then I feel like they’re fainter and then get darker throughout the day but that happenes every day ive been testing the past 4/5 days it’s faint then dark but doesn’t get as dark as the control line. My cycle is 32 days
@@UI-9 that’s not true because I was ovulation. I did end up conceiving not long after this and have had a baby girl since. I personally don’t think ovulation tests were for me, I used BBT and conceived after 2 months.
I need help. So I started taking the tests the beginning of June and they were always light now I finally got a positive but the line is so much darker then the control line!!! My husbands not home! Am I going to miss my change???
I've conceived 3 times naturally with PCOS and endometriosis. Two successful pregnancies in my 20s and one miscarriage last month at 40. Ill be TTC again next month. For me weight-loss and cleaning up my diet were what worked to get pregnant each time.
I haven't had a period since last month June 6th. I am 2 weeks late. I have cramps negative Pregnancy tests and today just had an LH surge and the second one was even higher I am so confused 😩 Help
