Let’s jump on this thread since I can’t find another one 😂

Currently ttc#5. First cycle off the pill. Got four girls already _ Due to ovulate in two days. Already dtd twice out of sheer impatience 😂

@ShivWesker i put yours into mine just to see if different and it’s reading as 0.25 so must be right enough. Sometimes like that i think they are way darker and prenom reads them low

ShivWesker · 28/03/2026 20:17

PreMom is only reading them at 0.27 every time I scan them 😒

So difficult not to symptom spot, isn’t it? I said I wasn’t going to this time around but I’m 3dpo and already doing it even though it’s far too early 😂

Hi, I'm CD2 and think it's cycle 17 of trying. Not at a great age and this will be my first. Feeling very emotionally drained today as not sure when our time will be. Both had fertility tests done and no issues so just have to keep going.

Sorry I didn’t reply at the time but I just wanted to say that I’m so sorry you’ve had such a long wait and I really hope that this cycle is the one for you. I know this probably won’t help but my first pregnancy was cycle 15 and I remember all too well just how painful it was waiting and hoping whilst everyone around me seemed to find it so easy. Sending you lots of positivity ❤️

HopefulLeopard · 28/03/2026 10:49

@Ash2345f another voice saying that if you ovulated this morning Thursday is actually a pretty good day! Definitely in the window.

Feeling really nauseous as well this morning @kikika but much too early for me I think and far more likely to be the bug my toddler has had all week catching up with me! But does that stop me obsessing? Absolutely not! Plus it would be much nicer if it was a positive sign rather than the impending doom of being ill.

kikika · 28/03/2026 09:40

I'm 8dpo today and managed to resist the urge to test. I've been feeling quite nauseous since yesterday but I'm sure it's too early for that to be significant.
This morning though I have an ache in my lower back at the left side around where I guess my kidney is? I don't think I've ever had that before so maybe that's a sign of something??

@Ash2345f Thursday is definitely in the window if you ovulated today so you have a chance! x

DmcinT · 28/03/2026 08:06

@Ash2345f ah it’s so frustrating when that happens, it happened me a few cycles ago we’d started every second day from I think day 9 or 10 then every day from 14 but I didn’t ovulate until day 18, by day 18 both of us were so sick of it 🤦🏼‍♀️

if u ovulated today though Thursday is one of ur peak days at -2 so ur deff very much in the running. Are u able to dtd today

Ash2345f · 28/03/2026 07:41

Hey ladies it looks like my cycle has been delayed this cycle we dtd lots during supposed fertile window and last dtd Thursday and I have ovulated today, do you think we still have a chance this cycle… a little gutted so trying to remain positive x

ShivWesker · 27/03/2026 23:38

Cervix is high, soft and slightly open after ovulation. Good sign??? 🤞

Jumping on! 4 dpo TTC #2 already sooo impatient & want to test! Trying to wait for 10 dpo…

HopefulLeopard · 27/03/2026 15:04

@kikika fingers crossed this is the start of regular ovulation for you!

@AussieMum888 it only takes once!

@happyhipppo I have no idea sorry. If you usually track in any way I think I’d be tempted to start doing that though. Do you usually have longer cycles or is this completely unusual for you?

HopefulLeopard · 27/03/2026 14:56

Welcome everyone! Sending you all lots of luck. ❤️

happyhipppo · 27/03/2026 14:30

Hey ladies thought i’d join this thread even though i’m still waiting for my feb cycle to end! Currently cd 41 with no sign of af just wondering when I should class it as a missed cycle and start preparing for ov or do I need to wait for af i’m so confused 😩

Peanutbutthole · 27/03/2026 13:26

Welcome newbies hope you have a successful month! @kikikagreat that you ovulated, did you still go to the appointment?s

thank you @hollyhocks2 I'm crossing my fingers for you too!

@Peanutbutthole yes we still went as we were still keen to get AMH and SA results (all looking good there thankfully). I'm hoping it's the supplements I've been taking and I'll keep ovulating but if not it's good to know we've started the process.

Although the next step before ovulation induction is a hycosy and I'm terrified of that 😫my smear tests have always been really difficult and uncomfortable so can't imagine it would go well for me.

Peanutbutthole · 27/03/2026 13:28

I'm I think 8dpo today but I think my period is due in a few days. It usually gets me before I can test.

The period crampy feelings I had 2 days ago seem to be gone and now I have nothing of note to share! We are away this weekend so we will see I suppose!

Peanutbutthole · 27/03/2026 13:26

hollyhocks2 · 27/03/2026 13:08

@kikika then once you get pregnant you’ll just be desperate to get to the 12 week scan, and then you’ll be waiting for the 20 week scan, and so on! The whole process is a torturous waiting game! Everything crossed for you to have some fantastic luck this cycle.

@AussieMum888 once can be enough! Good luck.

AussieMum888 · 27/03/2026 10:06

Hey everyone, also hoping to join this group and looking for a BFP. Im 35 and only DTD once a few days before ovulation so not feeling hopeful this month.

kikika · 27/03/2026 09:11

Hi, I would like to join.
I am TTC for the first time, decided to try in July but have very irregular periods and wasn't ovulating. we arranged an initial consultation with a fertility clinic and then based on OPK and BBT I ovulated two days before the appointment! for the first time since I started tracking in July. I think my ovaries saw the price list and thought they better sort it out haha!!

so currently 7dpo, and finding my first proper TWW really hard. it's funny because I spent so many months just desperate to ovulate and felt like that would be enough, then of course once it's happened I'm immediately desperate to be pregnant.

fingers crossed for all of you, hope some of us can be celebrating together soon x

hollyhocks2 · 26/03/2026 23:10

Sorry @CookieCrumbles23

@HopefulLeopardthanks for such a lovely message. 4 weeks today so that’s a little milestone.

Yikes everything crossed that some of you are literally implanting as we speak!! Baby dust

CookieCrumbles23 · 26/03/2026 21:32

Had some brown spotting this evening. This usually happens just before my period and I’m due on in the next couple of days. I think that’s me out for this month. Wishing you all the best ladies ♥️ xxx

I just found this link on an old thread …It has managed to bring me back to earth and rationalise that realistically I may have only just implanted yesterday lol
We still have time ladies 🙏🏽

That's so helpful, thank you! Felt down today as I got a negative (currently 8dpo), but according to that page my most likely implantation is tomorrow. Praying it happens! x
