TTC/TWW May June 2026

Thank you, AF starting today, yes I have been tracking LH I'm thinking of getting the One Step Health App Ovulation kit as well

I feel for you, I'm 32 and have adenomyosis so when AF arrives she is very painful which makes it quite a bit more distressing and disappointing

❤️

@IncaLily You could definitely have missed it, then, with 30 hours between tests. I normally test once a day, then twice a day when I start getting EWCM to improve my chances of catching my peak.

Maybe keep testing for a few days? See if your EWCM dries up? How long are your cycles normally? If they are very variable I’d keep testing longer, especially as you are just starting TTC and learning your ovulation patterns. If you are regular then you have probably ovulated, just missed the peak and can stop. Do you BBT test?

Sadly I thought that might be the case, thanks for confirming.

I haven’t no, that test was 9.30am yesterday, then faint line today at 3pm and no line at 7pm today. I’m really hoping I’ve just missed the surge between yesterday and today AM.

Ive had most of the symptoms other than no breast tenderness which is unusual. Although with the heatwave and DTD I’m not 100% confident it has been ovulation symptoms. Would you keep testing?

That doesn’t look like a positive test to me, sorry. It has to be darker than the control line.

Are you testing twice a day? Some people have very quick peaks so you can miss it if you are only testing in the morning. Do you normally have a 28 day cycle or does it vary? Have you had any other signs of ovulation like EWCM?

I’d keep testing. Sometimes it does a little surge, and then goes back down again before the proper surge to trigger ovulation.

Hi I’ve just started TTC and wondering if my LH surge seems right as it’s my first month testing. This is the darkest band I’ve got at CD16 - is this negative?
Tested today at CD17 and it’s much fainter so I can’t work out if I’ve had my surge or I’ve failed to ovulate this month.
I thought TTC would be fun but finding myself stressing out already!

I’ve heard that watery CM isn’t a bad thing with ttc.

Take this with a pinch of salt as this is from ChatGPT rather than genuine digging for information, but apparently if your CM is egg white/watery it means your oestrogen has increased. Forgive me if you’ve posted this earlier but have you been tracking to see if you’re getting LH surges?

Worth remembering that every woman is different too. I know you mentioned adenomyosis earlier too, which I’m sorry to hear about as I know how painful gynae conditions can be. I’m in the same boat with stage 4 endo 😢

I'm also going to try the concieve plus lube, I just don't ever seen to have ewcm 😢 always been watery.

I’m at 6DPO today (I think as I didn’t track this month due to the stress last month).

My app does say 7DPO but I only really felt that one sided cramp the day after so I think I’m a day behind. No symptoms so far at all but I think I’m also trying to do other things to occupy my time.

We switched over to Conceive plus lubricant this month as I heard durex isn’t great for conception but not sure how hopeful I feel. Definitely tested too early last month so going to try to hold out until at least 10DPO.

I have hopped over to the June/July thread so I shall say bye for now on this one and might see some of you on the other thread xxx

12dpo negative.

Not yet, I think I’m due Monday or Tuesday. I’m 9DPO today but never had a negative on 9DPO that’s turned positive with my son or chemicals

I just never considered I’d be going back to work and not be pregnant. I feel awful like a box is closing in on me and I can’t escape. I hate it there. My favourite colleague had a breakdown recently so won’t be back for a long time

Everyone's welcome! ✨️

Oh I made a TTC July but guessing you'll all move over when you make one here!

I'll just sit and wait for the new thread, I don't want to jump on the brill convos so far but I'm hoping to join in 😊

Sorry to hear about your symptoms @TheUniqueMember !! Hormones are crazy things, it’s nuts how much they dictate how we feel. You can do this! Remembering to breathe is a good motto. One that helps me is all things shall pass, just got to get to the other side. Hope you feel better soon.

Just tested Lh and it is still very high, 1.6! Hoping this is a good sign and I actually manage to ovulate 🤞😬

Hugs!

I hope you’re okay! Has AF showed up yet? 🩷

I took my patch off on 23rd. Yesterdays and today's opk lh level is 0 😱 not sure why I expected anything other than that so quickly!

Horrible symptons slowly coming in though now I'm not on the patch and I've halved my medication. Slow and steady wins the race. Remembering to breathe 😂

That's definitely a high result! Fingers crossed. Keep us updated!

Onwards and upwards ✨️

Still no AF and still negative yesterday just want it to show up now! @Baby3PraiseBe how are you doing x

BFN again today and my Apple Watch temperature dipped

I’ve just got a positive Lh test 😂 1.64 on the Premom app!! This is the highest I have seen this cycle by a long way (previous highest was 0.93) Maybe ovulation will finally happen?? I’m CD68 now. Not very hopeful that it will lead anywhere as my uterine lining will probably been too thick for implantation but ovulation would be a good start 🤦‍♀️

When do we start testing? I’m 7dpo so thinking 10dpo as that’s when I first tested positive with dd. Not hopeful this cycle as we only dtd on my clear blue monitor/digital stick indicated peak day/solid smiley. No idea of cycle length anymore but have recently had implant removed from my arm and started tracking ovulation.

Good luck!

Not sure what the line was : either an indent (even though it came up in the time) or a possible chemical pregnancy as AF is in full flow with small clots and a stark white BFN!

Is there a June/July thread?

Cycle day 1 for me now. I’m gutted BUT my luteal phase has extended by 2 days so that’s an improvement.

I don't know 😅

Last month did everything 'right'. Good tracking, deed on correct days. BFN.

This month was away and sharing bedroom with toddler and rest of house including bathroom with PIL so couldn't DTD or start checking LH until CD14 (not usually a problem as 30-32 day cycles so usually get my peak around CD16/17). LH was 0.7 on CD14 then dropped to 0.1-0.2 and stayed there until CD20 when went I away again and couldn't test anymore. Thought random early ovulation I missed or didn't ovulate, thought I was out this month. CD24 today, feeling really quite nauseous (had bad sickness from early on previous pregnancy) so tested and got that.

If it was early then must have just caught ovulation at CD14 and I saw my LH coming back down which would make me 10dpo maybe?

@FlyingHighFlyingLow I see very light lines on both of them. How many dpo are you? Hope they get stronger.
