The previous OPs have gotten their BFPs so I have cheekily created this one just hoping that I could get lucky. Hahaha. 😅 Silly, right ?
A bit about me - currently trying to conceive baby No.2 and this is my 4th postpartum cycle.
So I wish everyone good luck and lots of baby dust! 🤞

Oh, I’m sorry! How many dpo are you now?

My temp dipped a lot today! By like almost 0.2 - gone from 36,72 to 36.55.

Will just have to wait and see! Do you take any supplements? xxx

I’ve been taking the pregnacare conception vitamins but that’s it.
My temp went up this morning but it’s still well below the BBT spike I originally had.

This morning I had quite a bit of fresh red blood. Not my period as it’s stopped again now. All the spotting before period just makes my head spiral worrying it’s an abnormality.

When are you planning to test? I’m 8DPO today on the assumption I ovulated 24 hours after my LH peak. Possible I could be 7 or 9 if ovulation was earlier/later though. I’m not remotely hopeful

I caved after swearing I wouldn’t! I think the bleeding 2 days ago threw me off because I thought if it was implantation bleeding, I’d likely be producing the HcG now, but BFN. I’m pretty sure this isn’t my cycle. Period is due Friday so there’s still a chance, but I have 0 symptoms and BBT is dropping, and the bleeding couldn’t have been implantation. I have a feeling I have low progesterone but I had a blood test last week so I should hopefully get the answers soon.

Oooo - it could be an implantation dip!!

I’ve spotted twice the last two cycles for 1 day and then my period came the next or later that day and the other time it happened, it was implantation spotting although I thought it was a light period as it lasted 4 days. Sadly, it was ended in an early MC at 6 weeks.

My temperature rose again today so I think now is just a waiting game.

It’s so hard, isn’t it! Especially after a loss.

I’m around 6/7dpo today. My cramps were wild yesterday and I was convinced my period was coming today as I’ve had short luteal phases whilst my body settles after our 22 week twin loss but they stopped today and no sign of AF, which I’ll take!

Keep thinking positive! xxx

Oh honey, I'm so sorry about your loss. Well, I guess we're in the run till AF shows! Fingers crossed. ❤️❤️

Thank you!! ❤️❤️ I've got mild period like cramps which is worrying me a lot. I'll try to stop my head from spiralling. 😂

Hi ladies, I'm new on this thread. I'm 12dpo today and got this bfp with SMU. Do you think the line looks okay for 12dpo? I got 2 chemicals, so very very scared. :-(

Congratulations and this looks good on 12 dpo in my opinion. I also believe this is the 1st BFP in this thread. 😀

Thank you!! I'm very nervous! And baby to everybody! ❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations!! That’s a fantastic line for 12 dpo, it looks more like 16 dpo to me! Any twins in the family 😉? All the chemical lines I’ve seen have never been close to that strong,

Oh thank you for your kind words!! ❤️❤️ I am trying to tell myself to have hope. There are w sets of twins on my dad's family tbh! 😂😂

Do you usually spot? My spotting has stopped now (7DPO) but my temp dived this morning. I did forget to take it as soon as I woke, but I remembered whilst still lying in bed so I think it would still be fairly accurate. It was well before the baseline! A massive drop 😭 I feel like I am out already because it all looks pretty much identical to last month.

Oooo - it could be an implantation dip!!

cmg91 · 22/05/2026 12:59

Do you have any other symptoms?

I have quite bad one-sided cramps today! I’m really hoping that AF doesn’t rear her ugly head in a couple of days time like the last two cycles!! Although, then, I just had spotting with no cramps and that was the sign that my period was coming! Cross fingers it doesn’t.

My temp did go back up again today but I’m just not sure. Not holding out much hope to be honest! Wish time would speed up

Morning!

My temp has stayed up but very marginally again - now at 36.69. Also spotting today but I believe it’s from the smear test I had yesterday afternoon as it started then and has also got a lot lighter (like hardly there but still a bit) this morning.

If you’re 6dpo could this be implantation spotting? Xx

Hey all,
Just joining this thread as im also now in the dreaded TWW. Missed dtd on the night of my surge due to a horrific migraine but hoping im covered from the other days. Was completely convinced I was pregnant last month only to be slapped with a BFN. Sending love to everyone

Poppybloom55 · 22/05/2026 06:51

How are you getting on? I’ve woken up today to the tiniest amount of pink spotting. I never ever spot between periods. I think I might have previously had a chemical and this happened that cycle. Gutted

If it’s been elevated for 3 days, you’ll have defo ovulated. They can fluctuate. Mine stayed up again. It’s only very marginally gone up (like 0.01) but I’ll take it! I love chat GPT 😂 I have also put mine into it.
Let me know how the test goes! 💙💙

BoyMamma33 · 21/05/2026 14:54

Hi guys, I hope you’re all well.

so sorry to hear of AF arriving for some of you and @HappyBlueDonkey im so sorry to hear of your chemical, this happened to me a few times before I had my second baby, if you notice them often it’s worth asking to try progesterone.

I went to Spain and tested 14dpo, it was negative and the next day I started spotting so I took the tablets to delay my period so I could enjoy the rest of my holiday. I stopped taking them on Tuesday so full AF should be here tomorrow :(

I know we hadn’t planned a fourth baby but I feel a bit sad about it as I had come to like the idea of one more! (All though not financially)! But my partner is in his 40s and doesn’t want to actively try any longer, so we are going to enjoy our boys and end our journey here.

wishing you all the best of luck, your babies will come soon I just know it 💙💖

Also on my second month. Sorry to hear about your loss, that’s heartbreaking 💔
my temp dipped a tiny bit today, it’s remained above baseline but slightly lower than yesterday. Swore to myself I’d stop checking for this reason! I stuck my graph in chatGpT lol, it’s saying that I probably ovulated closer to 36 hours after my peak rather than 24 hours, so I’m probably 4DPO rather than 5DPO. I feel like time has stood still.
I am having a blood test this week to confirm ovulation.

This is only our proper 2nd cycle actively trying (and tracking) after our 22 week loss in December. My last cycle, my temps were very up and down and ovulation was never fully detected going off BBT so this cycle feels a lot smoother! I’m either hoping for a BFP OR a longer luteal phase as my last two have been only 7/8 days!

What about you? xx

DancingThroughLife02 · 20/05/2026 19:23

Quick question - I thought yesterday was my LH surge as it went from 0.09 to 0.92 in 24 hours and back down again, but it’s now 0.42 in the most recent reading. How do I know it’s not surging again?

cmg91 · 20/05/2026 12:42

Poppybloom55 · 20/05/2026 11:08

I’m 4DPO also! I think I’m going to stop LH and temp now because I know if I see anything dodgy I’ll just lose all hope lol! Going to try and hold out till 10DPO (or longer if I can!) how many cycles have you been trying?
