@Ec2808 I know, I’m trying not to stress but this stupid time limit isn’t helping 😂

@HansBanans soo sorry to hear that 😔it can take healthy couples with no underlying issues up to a year to conceive...there's something like a 20-30% chance every month if you time bd correctly...took us 7 months including the chemical so I know how you feel tho 😔

@Anya23since April/May time. We will be going into cycle 6 I think

Anya23 · 08/10/2025 09:04

Sorry to hear that @HansBanans
How long have you been trying?

HansBanans · 08/10/2025 09:01

12dpo today and bfn on Clearblue. I reckon af will be here Friday or Saturday. Once she arrives will speak to dp about getting some private testing done. He’s adamant he doesn’t want to try for more than a year because of the age gap that we’ll have between DS and a baby so want to rule out any issues that could be remedied 😞

Hi everyone!
TTC baby number 1. I only started using OPKs this cycle. Got the ‘peak’ on Saturday afternoon on clearblue digital, DTD also on Friday, Saturday and Sunday- is it likely I ovulated on Sunday? Based on the peak OPK. Is this test very accurate??

Started TWW now I guess!
have been also trying to track BBT at the same time daily.

good luck everyone x

Yeah I had a feeling I’m probably around 6dpo! Will maybe retest Monday

I wonder whether with PCOS youd benefit from a different kind of tracking method? Like a mira or inito? I bought myself the former, even though I dont have PCOS, and its a game changer. The cycle Ive just come out of for example I got a lot less ewcm and could have missed my fertile window

Ec2808 · 07/10/2025 15:12

@Ttcno2thisber obviously too early if you think you ovulated last wednesday that's 6 days ago wait at least 4 more days...but then again if you're not sure about ovulation very hard to know

Does anyone know when I should test? I think I’ve been testing too early. I have PCOS so periods can be 25 days or 45 days between. I done a couple OPK’s with quite a dark one on Tuesday 30th could have peaked before or just after that. Ovulation pain on Tuesday / Wednesday.

I started hcg tests yesterday but now wondering if I’ve been testing way too early.

HansBanans · 07/10/2025 06:47

@UnderTheFullMoon hi 👋 also ttc #2 but I’m on cycle 5

11dpo and took a Clearblue this morning. I feel like there’s a vvvvfl but can’t pick it up on camera. I’m counting it as negative for now, will see what tomorrow brings

UnderTheFullMoon · 06/10/2025 23:05

Hi everyone - hope its OK to join? I am on CD1 of the 2nd cycle in which we're trying to conceive a sibling for our DD who is nearly two. I have a short LP due to breastfeeding and time is not on my side as I am 41
Good luck and baby dust to us all

Ttcno2thisber · 06/10/2025 11:54

Yes definitely we are. Are you ttc your first?

Show quote history

Yes, I’m currently CD17 and still no ovulation but think it’s coming (finally) as LH tests are getting higher yesterday / today and seeing other signs too this morning

Ttcno2thisber · 06/10/2025 11:54

TTCjourney2025 · 06/10/2025 11:53

Bless you, it’s easier said than done though to stop. It’s good we have this community to feel like we aren’t just in our own heads

It’s my own doing too. I test way too early and convince myself I see a line! I became a serial early tester after my loss a few years ago!

Hoping I get my peak later today or tomorrow…. Finally as I’m on CD17! Definitely got other signs that it’s on its way!

Yes I’ve had a quite google and I can see people complain of bad evaps with these. I feel pregnant but I also think sometimes our brains convince ourself we are when we’re ttc

Thank you, will re test Wednesday!

@Ttcno2thisber these tests can give off pretty bad indents and evaps. I’d test again on Wednesday morning with fmu and hopefully you’ll have a clearer indication of whether it’s your BFP or not. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you 🙂🤞🏻

Just used an easy @ home test and there is a very faint line but could be an evap. I’m not due AF until this weekend (I’m guessing from ovulation symptoms) so know I’m being a bit early.

Not sure wether to test again tomorrow or give it 48-72 hours

@Ec2808 Yeah I think I’ll do a test tomorrow morning and see I’m a bit convinced it’s a fluke 😂 thank you for your opinion 💖
