Hi everyone, I created the TTC 2025 thread but as we are heading into a new year, it only seems right to start a new thread. Anyone here going to be TTC in 2026? I started my journey earlier this year and after 9 months/cycles trying, I’m yet to see a positive test. Finding it difficult not to lose hope but hopefully 2026 will be our year. Would love to connect with others who are trying to conceive. It’s a tough journey but it helps to have a supportive group of women to chat to! ❤️ Good luck everyone, baby dust for 2026!

Tested at what I thought was 12dpo (still struggling to get a positive read on easy@home ovulation tests) and bfn. This was a couple of days ago. I know we haven't timed this right if ovulation occured later, we both had work trips. So now I need to wait for my period.

I'm going to try wondfo ovulation tests and concentrate on confirming I'm actually bloody ovulating. Work has been so stressful recently that there is a good chance I'm not!

Wishing everyone luck for their current or next cycle (if in a similar boat to me)

Hi it's me again, my next attempt, 3dpo, récurrent miscarriages. I had one cycle of break after mms. Who's still here?

BeBusyReader · 19/03/2026 16:24

omg guys I’m shaking 9dpo 😭😭😭

CaffeineAndChords · 17/03/2026 21:26

Evening all. Joining this thread at 11dpo and this morning noticed a tiny bit of brown discharge on wiping - thought Aunt Flo had arrived early, but had very very sore boobs. We weren’t trying but not preventing and I got these results. Very very early but 🤞🏻 will be following here! X

Yep same here! Can’t believe I thought I’d be getting a choice. It’s already mine and my partners birthday in the week leading up to Xmas though so we were really really hoping to avoid that time!

BeBusyReader · 14/03/2026 13:33

This is literally us 🤪 Always said no Christmas baby now I’ll just take any baby hahaha!

Myrosetintedstory · 14/03/2026 10:24

@EmCha Great news that your fertility referral is progressing. Keeping everything crossed for you!

We're halfway through cycle 11 and starting the tww. We were also trying to avoid a Christmas baby but not so fussed now, just want a positive.

Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing okay. Just an update from me, sad day as my period has arrived again and I’m now into cycle 12. Positive news is that our fertility referral was sent off today so at least the ball is moving with that. Also got my partner’s semen analysis back which was good! Very, very relieved but also feeling like I’m to blame for us not getting pregnant and I hate giving him the bad news month after month. Fingers crossed we get our positive this cycle, even if it would mean a Christmas baby which is what we initially tried to avoid last year. 😂

Hey guys. Can I join you? I started ttc in October last year. Had a chemical the first cycle and a mmc third cycle. Just waiting for my period post mc now. I’ll be 40 this year so time isn’t on my side. So it’s frustrating to lose a few months over the miscarriage. Got my fingers crossed for the next cycle, my hormones have been all over the place too much to try effectively straight after mc I think. Hope you’re all doing okay this Monday morning. At least it’s starting to feel like spring is on the way!

Of course, welcome! So sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Hope you get your baby very soon. 🩷

We've been away for the week and I was fretting so much about no sign of AF/worried I wasn't ovulating. Took a test this morning and BFP (2-3 weeks)! ✨

Congratulations! Wonderful news!

Hi guys,
im not really seeing much progression. Approx 12dpo and definitely had implantation spotting over 2 days..

Hi, what was the outcome of this? I’m sure I can see a second line. 🤞🏼

No never.. I’m due on Thursday but this is like brown old stuff not my usual period! omg imagine! I will test with morning wee :) The first picture was this morning and 2nd this afternoon about 4 when I got home from work. X

Fingers crossed! Maybe it can still be implantation bleeding!

Anya23 · 23/02/2026 17:27

I see it on the normal picture as well @BeBusyReader
But I don't know what the brown discharge can be, do you spot before your period?

BeBusyReader · 23/02/2026 17:26

Sorry to double post lol I’m having a bit of brown discharge on wiping so took another test.. I can see a faint line I think so I inverted and ?? Have I reached new levels of delusion???

BeBusyReader · 23/02/2026 08:22

I think I’m negative :( only 11dpo today so maybe there’s still hope?

RoomToDream · 22/02/2026 21:30

No idea if I ovulated this month as I couldn't catch my peak via testing. Based on when it should have been (ish) I would be 9dpo today. I've just had a small amount of pink spotting. Now my mind is racing with thinking that it could be implantation bleeding. Spotting before a period isn't unusual for me but this is oddly early

BeBusyReader · 22/02/2026 19:29

It’s due on Thursday - I might test in the morning?

I would! Let us know x

Anya23 · 22/02/2026 19:27

Welcome @BeBusyReader! I think if you're 10 dpo, that's just usual symptoms of the tww for now! But you can still be pregnant of course! When is AF due?
