Thanks for being so transparent. Don't apologize for anything! How you look, repeating yourself, the hair on the tape, the pee on the strip. None of it! You're amazing. Never apologize for being amazing.

[@johnson9995]

I’m going to do this chart . Thanks for sharing

[@jessvaughan-fink9622]

Hey! Your most fertile days are the two days BEFORE your ovulation. So in this case it would have been cycle day 14 and 15. You should be doing the deed the day of your peak and the day before (if possible) not the days after your peak! Good luck! 🥰

[@jessvaughan-fink9622]

To add into that. The egg is only able to be fertilized 12-24 hours past ovulation. So doing the deed after ovulation isn’t nearly as beneficial ☺️

[@DestinyPhillips]

Yes ma’am! That’s what we’ve been doing! When I get my positive we do the deed immediately and now that I’ve pin pointed my Ovulation day pretty much we try to do the day before peak too!

[@se9535]

I just got the kit and it’s so confusing even with the app. I just started my cycle today , how soon after do I start testing for ovulation? When would I test for pregnancy? Tia

[@MissSmurfey]

I've heard to baby dance the day of LH surge and the day after. Sperm can last up to 5-7 days so doing for 3 days after the surge isn't that beneficial IMO.

[@dbreezy8993]

@@jessvaughan-fink9622 ovulation happens after the release of LH, meaning once you receive your LH spike(surge) the follicle that released LH will then release the ovum. Once the ovum is released it’s viable for 12-24 hours, but your LH surge can happen anywhere from 24-36 hour prior to the release of the egg. That’s why they say, 3 days before, day of peak and 3 days after your LH peak.

[@esterpaiva5901]

When you have your possitive you need to do baby dance till your ovulation is gone that way u do baby dance on peak day and on the next day too till ovulation pass

[@aubreydh1976]

Thanks for this!!!

[@sophiejordan7431]

I would advise that you baby dance 3 consecutive days before your peak, on the peak day and after the peak day. Or every other day to be safe especially if you are not testing for lh surge.

[@SaraSa-gm2ig]

Great video! I am confused because many people say when you get your lh peak, you ovulate 12 to 24 hours after that peak.

[@awomansfriend5784]

I’ve using clear blue at the moment very expensive & you only get 9 tests no smiley faces for me. I’m basically guessing 🤔 which I get very wrong. I’m going to be buying easy @home. Now it’s a Motivation to know when I’m ovulating.

[@carmeltreanor1959]

I literally have no control line until I hit my peak ... I usually get a faint line morning of and then in the afternoon the line gets darker. And by the next day it's back to a blank. Also my digital test only shows up positive that 1 day.... is this normal?

[@kayonna4656]

I believe it’s 3 before not after because once you hit your peak it’s only the next day or two your ovulate once you ovulate. And sperm can last 5 days so even if a person was to ovulate 3 days later after they BD it’s still a good chance.

It's interesting that you ovulate on day 15/16 with a 25 day period. I'm also 25-26 and found out I ovulate on day 13/14. Did you have any success after this cycle? Thanks for all the details of your tracking

[@DestinyPhillips]

Hi! I am currently a little over 15 weeks pregnant! I was scared about have a shorter gap but so far I’ve had no issues!

I have a 23-24 day cycle and get my LH surge on Day 10-12.

[@MissSmurfey]

@@DestinyPhillips Congrats!! 🥳💝How is baby? 🤗

[@seabrinasavoy7589]

hi so on the premom box it says to read the results before 5 min and not to read them after 5 minutes but I noticed that most of the strips had dried already can they still be valid?

[@DestinyPhillips]

Mine have never seemed to change or alter, but that is just my experience!

[@jossyramirez19]

Wow your strips are super dark!! Mine are super faint even the test line

[@DestinyPhillips]

Do you use the Easy@Home brand?? And also is results line ever darker than the test line?

[@therealshakeen]

@@DestinyPhillips I found that my results line can be darker than the test line - especially if the urine is very concentrated. Also, the lines do darken after 5 minutes where the negative results line can start to look like the test line. So that's probably by the lines look darker.

[@DestinyPhillips]

@@therealshakeen that’s true! Mine have been the same. When my urine is dilute it can change it, but I definitely can tell when I get a positive, it’s a very intense change.

[@therealshakeen]

@@DestinyPhillips yup - it gets super dark right away - that’s how I know it’s a definite positive

[@ReemaaaaaaTHEBEST]

How long after do you do the reading on the test?

[@DestinyPhillips]

Typically I test and walk away for a awhile before coming back and reading it, but I think it takes around 5 minutes to fully dry!

[@victoriastephens6055]

So does it matter how long ago that you peed when you use them or anything? I know you wanna test 2 times a day. I tried to start, and I guess I started too late because all of mine were negative. So I pretty much just gave up. My period is due in about 7 days. I just got my nexplanon bar removed on the 4th, and I was on my monthly when they removed it. My last day of bleeding was the 8th. So I guess I am just waiting for my monthly visitor to see if my cycle is gonna be regular or rather that it would come back naturally.

[@MissSmurfey]

If your testing twice a day which you should it should be between 10am and 8pm and at least 4 hours apart. Don't drink much liquid 2hrs prior to testing as you don't want to dilute the urine.

[@ajdeep1]

Do you consider spotting one day before full on bleed a part of your period? Ex: spotting = cycle day 1?

[@DestinyPhillips]

I personally would but that’s just me!

[@dancer0042dia]

Im doing in home incemination.... Once I get my peak how many hours later should I inseminate? I heard that frozen sperm only lasts 24 hours😔😔. This cycle I think I did it too soon. I thought I hit my peak but then 7 hours later after insemination it said I was still at my peak. So by the time my opk strips went back down to light it was already 20 hours from insemination.

[@gakii1216]

Did it work for you? I’m doing at home insemination within the next few day, so nervous!

[@tiffanykeenon55]

I do not you usually post, but based on this video your luteal phase is way too short. Your luteal phase needs to be longer then 10 days to sustain a pregnancy. Example: if you have a 25 day cycle you should ovulate around day 10,11, or 12. Im not a doctor, but that could be an issue for fertility. Based on what I looked up a short luteal phase could mean your body is not producing enough progesterone. Just an observation, but see your doctor.

[@DestinyPhillips]

Tiffany Keenon Thank you! Yes I realized that after this. I’m actually taking prenatals now that are supposed to increase progesterone because I fear this too. I’m surprised I just now realized it when I’ve been tracking!

[@therealshakeen]

Hello, I just wanted to clarify. The Luteal phase is always 2 weeks. The follicular phase can vary. So by this definition, ovulation can be early or late. But luteal phase is always 2 weeks from the ovulation date. I hope that helps! Also on my TTC journey. I've done so much tracking and everything is textbook. I'm going to take a break from all the tracking and temperature taking because I feel like I'm reading too much into my results and therefore it may be contributing to me stressing and not being able to relax lol. But tracking really taught me about my cycle - something that no one really taught me!

[@DestinyPhillips]

@@therealshakeen it’s typically 2 weeks and should be, but not always. I track my ovulation so I know when I am. They have treatment for short luteal phases which include progesterone. So while it is ideal, it’s not always 2 weeks.

[@therealshakeen]

@@DestinyPhillips I was told that too initially. But upon further research I read that it is usually 2 weeks. So confusing!

[@janjaf844]

Would you mind if I ask such prenatal you took?

[@shantellw9097]

So do you track your ovulation after your cycle??

[@MissSmurfey]

Everyone ovulates on different days, usually 10-14 days before your next period. Since everyone has different cycle length, ovulation day varies person to person. I have a shorter cycle of 23 days on average and i get my LH surge at around day 10 after my cycle ends. If you are just starting to track i suggest start taking tests 7 days after your cycle ends (between 10am and 2pm is the best time, not your 1st pee of the day), so that you don't miss your LH surge. I would also take 2 tests starting at day 10 (4hrs or more apart and don't drink much liquid 2 hrs prior). The LH peak can be missed if you only check once a day.

[@DestinyPhillips]

No ma’am! I begin tracking around 9-10 DPO and then test until I get a positive and then a few more days to make sure my LH goes back down. But my first cycle I tested from the day after my period until a few days after my positive just to make sure I got it. But when I ovulated on CD 15 I just started at CD 10. I hope this makes sense!
