TTC 2026!

@memewa2 I can definitely see something. Worth trying again tomorrow with FMU!

@Babyno21990 do you know the medication your sister was put on?

@EmCha Thank you! I think I recognise your name from some of the other trying threads, so sorry that we’re both still on this long journey. All the baby dust to both of us this year

Here is another pic

Hi mom's, I am cycle day 26, 10 dpo according to flow.... I am a test addict😩 have been testing every single day, did one today morning before work but negative convinced myself that I won't test until af comes but I caved after work I did one again and I got this😳 I don't know what to think am seeing colour to it, what do you think

@EmCha aw I’m sorry to hear that 😢 my sister went through a year of trying and then she demanded that her thyroid be checked again and they told her that her levels were low, she went on the medicine and she got pregnant straight away. She also is trying for baby number 2 and struggling again and her doctor told her her thyroid levels were balanced. But she felt symptomatic of low levels so she researched a little more and was told that her numbers although borderline were still too low to conceive. So she was given an increased dosage of the medicine and she got pregnant last month, though it sadly ended in a chemical. Have you ever had your thyroid checked?xx

@EmCha ah bless you, I’m on cycle 8 now and feeling the same! Remember how stressed I was once I passed that 6 month mark as people kept saying statically most people would have conceived by then. Not being able to have children was always a big fear of mine but you ever really expect it to be the case do you?

@EmCha Oh, that sucks! I'm so sorry 🥺 Try not to think the worst - Chances are still very much in your favour. Fingers crossed next month is your month 🩷

@hopeful4usi had implantation bleeding at 9/10dpo. I thought my period was on its way. Started with brown coffee granual type then turned to a bright pale pink. I’m now 6+3weeks. Complete surprise.

So I'm now wondering if 'AF' was actually implantation bleeding? Didn't have any experience of this with DD so looking for others who might be able to shed light.

Unsettled night sleep - later bedtime than usual for work reasons, awake at 5 with DD.
Cramps in the morning
Pinkish/brown - definitely more than what I would call spotting. Noticed first on wiping but seemed enough to call for panty liner. Texture similar to thick cm.

None of this that usual for the beginning of my AF. I get cramps and periods have always been quite light but there's been no real increase in quantity all day and usually I'd be expecting bright red by now.

Today was CD25 and between 9-11dpo (guestimate based on cm and app prediction). Very much aware I might be grasping at straws and it could hit me tomorrow but any thoughts?

Today’s test and was really worried that they were getting lighter but I think one of the tests was slightly faulty. I’m hoping this sticks 🙏

@hopeful4usoh how annoying! But good to have more knowledge! I’ve got my booking in appointment on Friday and will hopefully book an early scan then aswell. 6+2weeks today and annoyingly heartburn seems to be the main symptom!

AF arrived for me this morning (& just as I'd mustered the courage to test - how brutal). Feeling pretty gutted but at least I have some more data - a shorter cycle than expected with earlier ovulation. Fingers crossed for February

@EmCha Oh, bless you. Fingers crossed you get your BFP on Wednesday! All of your symptoms sound really promising

@LeafCorner I'm definitely going to do that, thank you!

That's really helpful, thank you. I'm going to gently assume I missed my peak and start fresh next month. Thank you so much for responding!

@Babyno21990 aaah that's a positive it even has colour to it🙌👏👏👏👏👏

@Memewa2 I did another test today and I definitely think this is positive. Also felt sick this morning and having bad insomnia 🤣 I’m hoping I don’t have sleepless nights for very long!

Excited for you @EmCha. Do you think you’ll test at all or just wait?

@Myrosetintedstory I use the clear blue advanced and the easy @ home strips. I find the strips good too because you can test twice a day, which is helpful post loss/chemicals etc. This month I’ve had strange results with my clearblue so it’s been good to have the back up of the test strips.

It could just be that you missed your peak. Like others have said, testing in the early afternoon usually gives good results.
