TTC 2026!

@LeafCorner thanks so much. It was enough to feel on my underwear when I was at work. Then when I wiped there was quite a bit. There hasn’t been as much now and it was bright red but not lighter red/pink/brown. I have bad cramps but I am quite constipated as I’m on iron tablets so it’s hard to differentiate. I’m at the hospital here now but might not even get a scan until tomorrow as the early pregnancy unit is closed 😢

Send you so many positive thoughts @Babyno21990. What’s the bleeding like? Is it heavy or light?

So sorry to hear this. Will be thinking of you today x

I hope it'll be alright, but let us know!

@Anya23 i am going to my local a and e but my EPU is closed so I don’t know what they will be able to do for me 😢 I’m so gutted! I just had a gut feeling something wasn’t right!

Oh no! Can you go to a doctor for a checkup? At 5+3 they should be able to see something! I can't offer positive stories from me, but my friend had severe bleeding at around five weeks as well, they even did a D&C for her, and she only found at at the checkup that she's still pregnant with a nine week old fetus! It can happen, but I'd go to a doctor for sure

I think I’m having a miscarriage 😢 I’m 5+3 today and having bleeding and quite bad cramps/sore thighs. I just have a bad feeling. My pregnancy tests are super dark but I know they can stay dark for a while. Anyone able to offer any positive experiences?

Im 2 days late and honestly scared to hope, can’t decide if I should buy a test or not

Period has finally arrived so this is it, first cycle of trying for no.2! I hope to ease into it without tracking. I tested for ovulation last month, just to sense when it is in my cycle these days, so a relaxed approach feels like the way to start. That is easier said than done when I have ovulation sticks in a drawer.

Anyway, wishing everyone luck this cycle!

do you track basal body temperature- I don’t ovulate regularly and find it more accurate then ovulation strips. My strip was positive in December and ended up having 16 day ling cycle- had my period 10 days early. My BBT app told me flat out I had anovulatory cycle. It also tells me when to do ovulation test and pregnancy test so I don’t lose my mind..

7 months of trying for me. Sending hugs ❤️

@TvO2603 You'll have to keep us updated 🤞🏻

@overwork @EmCha I'm also cycle 10, so you're not alone. I've only been using ovulation tests for a couple of months, so still very new to that but also feeling increasingly disheartened. Fingers crossed for all of us (and anyone else here who is trying) 🫶🏻

Hi @EmCha, we are cycle 10 too. My first pregnancy 3 years ago was an accident and I naively thought a second would be easy for us. It just seems to be getting more and more unlikely with each passing month. Also not tracking this month, I am somewhere in the fertile week

I think I'm 8dpo.
TTC 3rd baby, I have a 5 year old and 3 year old both girls.
I feel exactly like I did with my 2nd, really vivid and clear dreams, peeing lots, boobs are so swollen and sore and darker areolas in the eve, sensitive nips, tiny bits of glistening CM, dehydrated, no energy at all.
If I am not pregnant then I will be really confused

Oh I didn't know that 😊 so we'll be around the same time for ovulation as well!
Yes, my dd was conceived on cycle three and actually my second pregnancy was also conceived on cycle three lol! So I'm hoping for the same this time 😂

Hi @Anya23 I was also on your Jan thread. We sound very similar as I'm also CD5 and I think you said your DC were conceived on the third cycle? That was the case with my DD too 🥰 Hoping things will be similar this time round but aware so much has changed (still BF/more tired etc).

Hi guys, can I please join? I was on the January thread. Ttc again after an MMC in November, had a D&C at the end of November, and waited for one cycle after that to start again. Didn't fall pregnant the first cycle trying, although I was spotting almost up to ovulation, and it stopped just before ewcm appeared. Currently on CD5 and I hope my period won't be longer this time!

Try with ultra early, my strips showed positive day my missed period. 🤞

Had my scan on Monday but it was too early to see anything, for now I'm anxious and waiting for my 6weeks visibility scan to be put on progesterone. It's emotional roller-coaster. I really don't understand why they can't start me on progesterone just yet. 🤔

@Myrosetintedstory i don't know what it is, I got another faint line today, was at the doctor's waiting for blood test on monday

@memewa2 That's such a shame. Do you think it was maybe an indent? ☹️ fingers crossed for you

@Myrosetintedstory gutted 😩i did one today FMU totally negative

@memewa2 how did you get on??? 🤞🏻

Will definitely do in the morning🤞
