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 😂

@HopefulLeopardThanks ❤️
Yes I become fixated on it must be by 10dpo as that the positive I got last time 🤦🏽‍♀️

10 dpo today and negative 💔
With my last pregnancy I tested positive at 10dpo (Second trimester loss) So I thought today would tell if was positive or not but bfn.
i guess there is still tomorrow but I’m not hopeful 😢
Anyone else super emotional 😭

I’m so sorry for your bfn. 💔 sending hugs. As you said there’s always tomorrow but I know what you mean when you’ve tested positive at a certain point before, it’s hard to feel hopeful past that.

HopefulLeopard · 26/03/2026 09:56

@hollyhocks2 I really hope that this is the baby you get to bring home, sending you so many positive thoughts and hopes. Gentle congratulations. Thinking of you ❤️

@ShivWesker thank you, I appreciate it ❤️ test was darker today, 12dpo. I keep overanalysing every twinge. Mega nerve wracking. EPU said they had to confirm the location before they could prescribe anything, so early scan booked in but could so easily lose it before then. Scan day I would be 6+3, if I make it.

Rooting for those of you testing soon, sorry for BFNs but hopefully it’s just too early.

Hey would like to join the thread. We lost our baby at 18 weeks in November - this is our first month actively trying the previous months we weren’t preventing either. My app says I have already ovulated but I ovulated cycle day 16 last cycle which is tomorrow either way we’ve been trying to dtd every other day and will continue through to the end of the week fingers crossed for everyone. Very much hoping this is our cycle!!!

HopefulLeopard · 25/03/2026 14:44

I didn’t track properly this cycle, we’re trying to sort of ease ourselves back into ttc I suppose. But I’ve spent enough months ttc previously to kind of know when anyway so I’d guess I’m 1 or 2dpo but still absolutely desperate test. So much for trying not to think about it too much this cycle…!

I’m 2DPO too. Well, at least I think so cause of that opk I did. Not holding my breath this cycle. Got all the new stuff in the Amazon basket ready for payday 😂 Looks like we’re cycle buddies!! 🫶

An update from me - had a positive hcg test yesterday at 10DPO. This is my 5th pregnancy and I just have one daughter so for me the experience of a positive test is not one of delight and excitement sadly. Nevertheless I am grateful for another chance and am glad it’s happened quickly (second cycle trying after a 6 cycle break after my 3rd loss). Still v v early of course, 3.5 weeks, so let’s see. I will call EPU today and start on blood thinners asap.

Congratulations girl!!! I’m so pleased for you!! 🫶🫶🫶✨✨✨

I’d love to join if that’s okay. I should be ovulating around the end of the week (hello cycle buddy @cobalt123!)

We’re on cycle 6 TTC our first, not a sniff of a BFP as yet.

Baby dust to all ✨

cobalt123 · 25/03/2026 14:13

Hey I’m going to jump on here too if that’s ok. Think I’m coming up to ovulation towards the end of this week. First proper cycle post miscarriage. Dp is away for work for a couple of day which is annoying so I’ll be pouncing on the poor guy as soon as he gets back on Friday 😂. Although I don’t imagine he will complain…

Peanutbutthole · 25/03/2026 13:11

Hi all, sorry to hear about the negatives.

I wasn't properly tracking this month but based on my apps and cm I think I'm either 6 or 7dpo today. I feel like my period is coming, crampy feelings and kinda stretching feelings. But it's too early so I really hope it doesn't come now. I have had a few short cycles, 25ish days, but I'm only cd 22 today so I really hope it's not my period

Lillybobs86 · 25/03/2026 13:03

9dpo and I tested first thing this morning and negative 😬
hopefully it’s just too early 🥹🙏🏽

Janey3090 · 25/03/2026 12:00

7DPO and no symptoms at all not even PMS. LH levels are really low too (way below my baseline), whereas they were high when I was pregnant with DD.

Been trying for baby no 2 since June 2024 and feel like giving up now!

AspiringMermaid · 25/03/2026 11:27

I'm on dpo 10 and bfn this morning:/ I will test again on Friday, anyone else testing soon?

12DPO BFN 😞
I've had positives at this point with other pregnancies so think I'm out this month 😞

TTCFTM2026 · 24/03/2026 16:34

Would love to join. First cycle for first baby. I had IUD removed a few weeks ago and THINK I'm due to ovulate this week. Not holding out much hope, but if we were lucky would mean my first trimester would end 3 weeks before our first wedding anniversary which would be such a lovely way to announce to family and friends.

Must not get ahead of myself.....

HopefulLeopard · 22/03/2026 15:07

Hello I’d love to join you all if that’s ok. I’m due to ovulate in the next few days and it’s our first cycle ttc after losing a baby at 20 weeks in November. Absolutely terrified to even be thinking about it if I’m honest! We’re lucky enough to already have a 3 year old but really hoping to be able to bring him a sibling home.

Also lost our baby at 20 weeks 💔
in January 😢
I have a 2 year old as well.
Baby dust to you this cycle x

CookieCrumbles23 · 23/03/2026 17:15

The wait is so hard isn’t it. I’m 7dpo too, I’ve set a goal of holding out until Monday but realistically, I’ll probably test on Friday 🙈. Like every month, I’ve convinced myself I’m experiencing every symptom under the sun, although I do actually feel quite nauseous today.

It’s so hard to resist isn’t it 😬🫣
we must be 8dpo today… I already tested 🙃

Peanutbutthole · 24/03/2026 12:37

Hi all, I'm 5dpo today trying for #3. The days are dragging sooo much. Anyone else trying for a third with a big age gap?

Hi everyone,

TTC #3. We had an early miscarriage in the new year.
10dpo today and couldn't resist testing BFN.
I feel deflated and very irritable 😂
I don't feel like my period is coming but could be wishful thinking!

Keeping everything crossed for you all 🤞

So, I got a positive opk. The lines were both really dark. But I was confused as to why it was reading so low.

the bloomin thing was expired. Devastated isn’t the word. I’m out this month for sure now. I’ll rejoin on April first. Good luck to all of you! Sending baby dust to you all 🫶🫶🫶🫶✨✨✨✨

Hello can I join?
I lost my baby at 20 weeks in January …This is my second cycle since birth but first month trying.
7dpo today and already tested this morning 🫣
BFN obviously but I couldn’t resist 😬
