I always found flo and Premom completely out of sync with each other! Not sure which one is more accurate but I’ve stuck with pre-mom so I could monitor my OPK’s easier!
I’m not doing any of them now though as I was starting to get a bit obsessive and it was taking over my life
Always good to know where your body is up to!

sorry you’re feeling so low
be kind to yourself. It’s awful heartache, we all understand here. Have you gone to your GP for tests at all?So according to my app I am 2 DPO but from testing every day I didn’t get a surge like I usually would. Feeling crampy today aswell. I’ve only two flipping tests left aswell so I reckon I’m out for this month. No idea what’s happening! I’m 35 and we are trying since Christmas.

Hi ladies, I haven’t posted in a while but need some advice.
my period is a couple of days late, and I’m trying to figure out why.
I had my first (Pfizer) COVID vaccine on 19th June, and my next period was roughly on time (I’m usually around 28 days, but is typically 27-29 days), but I had some light spotting for 4 or 5 days before it started. My period does usually start with spotting, but normally either just the day before, or on the day if my period starts in the evening.
This cycle I was due on Wednesday (day 28) and I still haven’t started yet. I’ve had some light spotting for the last 3 days, but none of the real symptoms I’d usually get - not super headachy/crampy/emotional.
In my May/June cycle, I had a very early chemical pregnancy - my period arrived less than 48 hours after getting a faint positive.
I’ve also started exercising a bit more, nothing extreme, but I do a body pump class about 4/5 times a week.
I’m a bit anxious to get my next vaccine in case that’s what’s causing it. Has anyone else noticed disturbances to their period after the vaccine? How long did it take to right itself?

Hi girls, I can’t seem to find my answer on Google so I’m hoping someone will be able to help me 
.
AF 21/07/21 and my cycle is normally 28 days.
I got my peak cb 07/08/21 so I counted my ovulation as 08/08/21. So cd18 I ovulated.
According to my calendar I should have came on my period yesterday, however because I ovulated cd18 I’m wondering would my period start10 days later or would my period be later due to cd18 ovulation?
AF still hasn’t shown but I did a test Monday 8dpo and it was negative.
I am having cramping but I feel the same as if AF is going to show.
Sorry if none of this makes sense I’m still trying to understand the ttc/dpo/af lingo xxx

Yes! I done tests with these and was deffo getting a line! i then dipped one in water and it also had a line!Does anyone know if the One Step cheap pg tests are notorious for indent/evap lines? I feel like I'm just seeing things at this point.
use frer for early testing if you can xxDramabyname

CongratulationsDidn't want to leave this thread without saying goodbye and sending love to everyone TTC.I got my bfp this week (which still doesn't feel real as told we would struggle to conceive, but we have caught really quick) and although petrified it's not going to work out for us because of my health, trying to stay positive and try not to worry about every single little thing. Lots and lots of love to you all, I know I didn't post much on here, but it was so helpful to watch, read and learn.
If you say so...

Hello I’m new to this thread and not read it from the start yet (going to go back and read them next) but I’m just wondering whether the early tests can be done 5 days before your period is due? We’ve been trying for a while now (the last 6 months solidly, just going with the flow for about 18 months before) and my ovulation tests have never given a positive until I switched to new ones this month when I got (what looked to me) a positive so we went for it twice for the first two days then I had to be away for a hen do at the weekend so did it again when I got back three days later. I don’t know why but I already just “feel” pregnant. I’ve got my hopes up before and my period has arrived, didn’t want to take an early test before cause I knew how disappointed I was when my period came and I guess I was kind of burying my head in the sand, if that makes any sense but I’m so sure this month is the month! Might sound crazy but I literally am counting the days until I can take a test this time. Thanks in advance for your advice!
I only had that with my first successful pregnancy to induce labour. It didn’t work for me
and acupuncture!

This was me last month, very strange as normally I’m regular. Unfortunately AF did show after 6 days. Fingers crossed you get your BFP!
my boobs have been very tender but I do normally get sore boobs before a period. I swear when I was younger I never noticed sore boobs every month?! Do they get sorer as you age?!

Hi Ladies, I’m 14 dpo and today is the day AF should arrive. It usually arrives during the night, but hasn’t. I normally know I’m coming on the night before too as I start to cramp but had absolutely no signs.
I tested at 11dpo and it was negative. Do I test again today or do I just expect AF to arrive within the next few days?

Hi, I know how you feel waiting for blood test results. Not sure if this will work for you, but I'm able to see all my blood test results on the NHS app, it took a few hours to verify my identity, but after that, I was able to see and Google what each one meant (which I know can be dangerous in itself!) and most of mine said what was the normal range.Hey ladies! I haven’t been on here for a while I needed to take some space from ttc for a while. I haven’t had a period since April and my weight has also been creeping up despite no change in diet or exercise routine. I’ve just been feeling down and fat lately
I’ve had blood tests and also repeat blood tests and the doctor wanted to talk to me about my results. Annoyingly she isn’t back in the surgery until a week on Wednesday so im waiting to hear back on what she would like to discuss. I also have a scan booked to check my overies at the end of the month too. From an internet search I may have low progesterone which could explain the recent weight gain and no periods. Obviously I can’t confirm until I speak to my GP. Has anyone had anything similar?
It's so difficult waiting! I would use one of the first response early ones, or the clear blue as other poster said - I always got my positives on those before 14dpo. Hope you get a bfp

Amazon sell them cheaper and a paxk will last 2 months as you only need one a day. Keep an eye out for deals xxx your symptoms sound promising too, keep us postedClearblue is so expensiveI have cramps and a weird tight feeling, like I've done a big ab workout. Also very fatigued x
and if everything is good, try to get something pink tomorrow. Guess it serves me right for being cheap

Hi - I’ve been lurking here for a while bht not posted on this thread before. Hi ladies 
. I am wondering if any of you can help me understand LH testing/OPKs.
I’m 2 months(well first month I started on cd15 as that’s when my strips arrived from amazon) into using premom and testing strips . I am struggling to understand it - my LH levels are fluctuating a bit but staying in low range (is this normal to have minor fluctuations?). They weem to increase so I think a surge/peak may be coming but then the next day the number will have decreased. Is this normal ? I suppose I’m trying to understand what sort of numbers are normal natural fluctuations ? Even last cycle my peak was only ‘1’ and was in the high range on the app till the next day I was lower and it changed it to peak.
According to the other apps (Ovia, flo and p tracker
Yes I have 3! ) I should have ovulated by now so when I saw the number still wasn’t that high today I wondered what my test strips mean.
Have attached pic of last month and two of this month. Grateful for any advice or interpretation- or pictures of your own so I can see what cycles actually look like, Altho I appreciate these will vary from woman to woman.
Thank you in advance guys
