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 😂

How’s everyone getting on I think I may had possibly hit peak but only reading 0.97 on Premom I don’t want to over do dtd as the 2 times we have got pregnant we only dtd once unsure if it’s a coincidence but we are trying to stick to not doing it too much

It's possible your body tried ovulating but didn't quite get there. I think you should keep testing, who knows, you may get a higher reading in a few days.

Yes, I am a bit concerned that this is most likely scenario! Will definitely keep testing and dtd.
If I didn’t ovulate do you reckon it would be another 2 weeks until my body would try again or sooner? It’s hard to find the time to dtd with 2 poor sleepers but don’t want to miss it 😬

From your username I guess you have 3? How do you find it? Im a bit nervous at the thought of going from 2 to 3 but also excited!

Hi! Moving over from the other thread.

I’ve been TTC DC#3 since December. I have PCOS so have very long cycles, my last one was 65 days!

Currently on CD 30 and might have ovulated yesterday. Didnt get a peak on my LH tests, had 3 days of raised levels, of about 0.6 but no postive test. Not sure I ovulated at all really. But LH levels have dropped back down today, so my app is counting today as 1dpo! So I will keep hoping that I have ovulated. Also going to continue dtd every other day to cover all bases!

Anyone else had trouble finding their peak?

@MumOf3amazingkidsit was yeah, I am planning to tomorrow morning! Exciting times xx

MumOf3amazingkids · 05/04/2026 14:43

@LizzieM98 I see a line when I squint ☺️. Tentative congratulations! Was it FMU, are you planning to test with a digital? Keep us updated. ☺️

MumOf3amazingkids · 05/04/2026 14:42

@TTCFTM2026 Wow. CD9 is quite early. I got my LH peak on CD16. I thought shorter follicular phases automatically meant shorter luteal phases?

LizzieM98 · 05/04/2026 14:17

@DmcinTi am 14 dpo 😊

@ShivWesker ah sorry it’s so bloody hard each cycle, even though u know ur not out until af appears ❤️

I see a line here @LizzieM98 how many dpo are u?

I am only 4 dpo and time is slooooowly ticking by!! I’ve lots of twinges, aches and pains but obvs just all progesterone at this stage either way!

LizzieM98 · 05/04/2026 10:21

Can we see the line??

Hi! Hope I can join! I’m 9dpo, TTC my second. I had a chemical pregnancy 2 cycles ago so trying to not test early as found it hard mentally to lose it and then try again.

Really trying to not symptom spot but sore boobs since 7dpo, sneezing a lot and generally more tired than usual. My BBT is running along the usually numbers and I tend to drop at 11-13dpo if AF comes so waiting to see if that happens!

the urge to order some tests is really hard!!!

AussieMum888 · 05/04/2026 05:17

@ShivWesker Sorry to hear this! It's the most frustrating thing isn't it! Emotional rollercoaster.

I last tested on Friday which "I think" was 10DPO and got a BFN. Haven't tested since as only have 1 test left. Will test tomorrow but assuming I'm out too as have no symptoms and my gut is saying I'm definitely not pregnant.

ShivWesker · 05/04/2026 00:20

Defo out. No more tests either, which is probably a good thing at this point. Currently 12dpo. Anybody got any updates?

Edit: Top test was 10dpo, bottom 11dpo.

I haven't had any noticeable symptom though. It's possible your Hcg levels are still too low to detect. Fingers crossed. I hope that second line shows for you! 🙏

Thank you! Hope you get a positive too!

This is my first cycle after having coil removed. Assumed a 28 cycle but could well be shorter. I measured temperature and took note of physical symptoms which pointed to me ovulating very early in the cycle (around day 9!) It's entirely possible my dates are well off! Keeping everything crossed, but trying to be realistic.

I think I'll be 16/17dpo on 11th.

Will probably get some proper ovulation tests for next cycle, unless I've been really lucky!!

MumOf3amazingkids · 03/04/2026 19:36

I also tested with FMU today and definitely negative🥺 but I'm still holding on to hope as I had my last bfp at 12dpo and it was a vvfl. Wow. 11/04, how many dpo will you be by then? Seems your cycle is quite long. Mine is avwragely 26 - 29 days so Tuesday is the last day to test for me.

TTCFTM2026 · 03/04/2026 19:02

How are you doing, @MumOf3amazingkids?

Tested today and definitely negative! I definitely feel a bit off and reading into every little thing (I'm tired despite feeling well, hayfever symptoms off the chart, cold, cramps on and off last couple of days). Could all be wishful thinking/paying more attention than usual to how I'm feeling! Going to try to hold off testing till 11/04, unless period arrives by then!

I'm also 5dpo today. I plan testing at 10dpo on Friday.

HopefulLeopard · 03/04/2026 16:58

Sadly I think I’m out too, negative this morning at 11dpo.

ShivWesker · 03/04/2026 14:09

Negative FRER today at 10dpo. When I got my other bfp’s with my others it was 10dpo. I’m out this month. I shall be back when/if I ovulate in two weeks. I’m just a bit down and done with this cycle, tbh. With all the evap lines/false positives, I’m not in a good headspace. Good luck to everyone. Sending baby dust to you all ✨

Hi all hope it's ok to join! I am 5dpo and this is my first month back to TTC after taking a few months break. how are you all feeling? x

Hii @Plumchumm How was the break? I'm currently 8/9dpo and I got a bfn this morning. I reckon it's still quite early as my last bfp was 12dpo. I just needed to get it out of my system. I will probably wait till 12dpo before testing again.

I did a Normal clear blue this morning (what I had!) which was negative. But the nausea has come back this afternoon. I’ve also been extremely hungry. Usually a bit hungrier the week before AF but not like this!
Going to try to send DH to get some more tests aha but not too optimistic. AF due in 4 days & I think I was testing positive with DD by now ish x

ShivWesker · 02/04/2026 14:37

anonhop · 02/04/2026 00:04

Hi girls, 10 dpo & started to feel really nauseous exactly how I felt in first pregnancy, hard to explain but a “deep” queasiness- not an upset stomach. Wondering if this is too early to be connected? Last time it started at 4.5 weeks & I guess I’d be 3.5 weeks now.
too nervous to test…

Oohhh keep us posted, girl! Fingers crossed for you!! 🤞🤞🫶🫶🫶

@DmcinT - that is a good success rate! I'm investing a lot upfront this one to try and hit the key days...hubby has had to come off his hair tablets (they have this ingredient in which isn't great for sperm count / not advised to take when trying to conceive) and so is keen to get going so he can go back on them 😅.

Also my cycle is going off course slightly which makes me think I can't rely on natural cycles alone (had great success with that last time).

I'm so sorry got no experience with those sticks as I never got high enough levels!

@anonhop ooo that sounds super positive! Fingers and toes crossed xxx
