Hi guys! Moving the January thread here!

LucyCL · 21/03/2026 17:32

My AF just arrived. That makes me feel relieved and also a bit surprised. The 2nd postpartum cycle lasted for 27 days and the first one lasted for 31 days. Postpartum cycles are definitely weird. So today is the first day of the third postpartum cycle and hopefully the length of my period will go from 7 days to 5 days (pre pregnancy). Fingers crossed.🤞

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemythank you!

it’s true. I always wonder why I don’t seem to achieve a high peak. Or perhaps it’s so quick that I miss it overnight lol. Yes, if anything I’m hoping ovulation is today. Wondering how my chances are with only DTD once in the fertile window 😂 even if it was a day before ovulation which is still good apparently!1

The day before ovulation is the highest chance! Also, look at us, one time is enough 😂

@EmeraldPie I think some people have naturally lower levels of LH but still ovulate totally fine, so it might be for you that 71 is “peak”. People normally ovulate 12-36 hours after Lh peak. With the Lh tests dropping off today, combined with the ovulation twinges I would guess you are ovulating today!

I would dtd this evening, day before ovulation and ovulation day itself are the two best days to dtd.

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemythank you!

Can anyone help interpret my ovulation tests this cycle?
I’m CD14 today and see to have gone back to 28 day cycles after my MMC last year. On the Easy at home tests I never seem to get a real ‘peak’ or dark line. My peak last cycle was around 0.84 and I did ovulate fine. So today the strips are lightening. And the Boots test was done yesterday at the same time as I got the 0.71 reading…. Does this look positive? Did I miss my peak? Sometimes I get a rapid surge that’s why I test multiples times.
Today, I’m getting right sided twinges.
Managed to DTD last night (CD13), is there any point tonight?
Thanks x

I was ordering a load of stuff from Amazon so added a couple of FRERs, trying my best to wait til Thursday or Friday when I’ll be 12/13DPO. But we’ll see 😅

Let's both test Monday morning @ faraway. That's day 26 of my cycle, and according to flo 2 days before AF.

I have decided not to test until next Monday (11dpo/12dpo). I don’t want to go back
to the mindset of 2WW before my first successful pregnancy, so much burn out. But I hope everyone is taking good care of themselves in this journey. 😊Please enjoy this lovely sunny day!

@Alwaysgrowing @Faraway11 sending you hugs. 10 dpo might still be a bit early. 12 dpo is good to test again.

Thank you, I’m going to hold off testing over the weekend and just try and keep busy, I’m so frustrated, my appetite is barely there and I couldn’t sleep until nearly 5am. Was up with like a burning/sharp sensation on my lower left stomach and feeling queasy :( x

Sorry guys, sending hugs x

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 20/03/2026 12:35

Sorry to hear about the BFNs @Faraway11 and @Alwaysgrowing . Negative tests are always tough to see ☹️

Alwaysgrowing · 20/03/2026 12:10

Bfn for me too, but I'll wait at least 2 days before testing again, maybe longer.

Faraway11 · 20/03/2026 11:18

Bfn again for me this morning. 10dpo x

Alwaysgrowing · 19/03/2026 20:18

I'm pretty regular at 27 days with the occasional 29/30 day cycle. My flo app has averaged it to a 28 day cycle and estimated af for 6 days time, so probably too early. I did buy ovulation tests with pregnancy tests this week, for next month if I need them.

Sa11yCinnamon · 19/03/2026 19:37

@Alwaysgrowingno one can really tell you when to test then.

Alwaysgrowing · 19/03/2026 18:18

No idea.

Sa11yCinnamon · 19/03/2026 17:23

Alwaysgrowing · 19/03/2026 16:44

I posted at the end of p28. What do you think. Worth testing tomorrow?

I know you've not tracked but when do you think you ovulated?
