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! 🤞

I can defo see lines @SummerOak !!

@Baby3PraiseBeThere is 20 years between myself and my youngest brother. I adored him.

I got a peak on my clear blue monitor and a solid smiley (didn’t have flashing this month) on the clear blue stick thing two evenings ago. Dtd that evening and will do again this evening. Hopefully that’ll do as it’s hard to find time to ourselves as it is without the pressure of the right days. I have a 2 and 3 year old who both co asleep so we have to time everything just right. I don’t know how many days dpo but had ovulation pain on one side yesterday so really hoping the timing works out!!

Baby3PraiseBe · 18/06/2026 20:19

This evenings update (6 or 7 dpo).
My boobs are larger & tender - but not the PMS rocks I usually experience.
I feel wet but have no EWCM
Checked my cervix and I have clear white small dod of ewcm on my finger.
Left twinges are now gone and have had 2 small “twang” feelings in my uterus this evening.

Nothing else to report!
Delighted to see the faint lines begin to appear for you ladies, hoping I can follow this trend when it’s time to test.

Something I haven’t shared yet is, I’m almost 42 and I’m slightly worried about the 14yr age gap with my youngest, as mad as it sounds, people think at my age you start to get your life back with teenagers being independent but it’s made me crave a baby, I’m so desperate to do it all again. Life was harder in my 20’s and 30’s pregnant, I feel that if I get the chance to do this one more time I’d be the luckiest mum ever.

cmg91 · 18/06/2026 18:19

I’m 4DPO today. My natural cycles app confirmed ovulation but feeling deflated and worried about progesterone as my temps aren’t having the classic “staircase” look! Hoping it rises again tomorrow! I have slight cramping but it’s waaaay too early for AF.

I am feeling so disheartened :( I am 12DPO today with a BFN, I could have sworn I saw a vvvvvfl line yesterday morning at 11DPO and today nothing. I have had spotting (which I have never ever had) around 8-10DPO on and off, boobs sore, cramping, just symptoms I never normally have this time of my cycle. I really thought this month could be it... its so bloody annoying

Which tests are you using? Have you tried a FRER? As they say, you aren’t out until AF arrives so I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

@HappyBlueDonkey yeah I used to take pregnacare and conceive on that quickly but I think before those I was only on the pill where as now I've had the coil I feel different. I sound crazy lol.

Oh that is a strange smell to have. So random, don't test yet it woyld be way to early and you'll feel disappointed. Im currently 8 days late for my period. No positive tests, i was taking a multi vitamin which I've now swapped to just plain folic acid and vit D because the reviews stated it messed their cycles up. So currently just a waiting game for my period to show. I feel defeated tbh like I messed it up by taking them and not reading reviews.

I took a vitamin like this for DC1 and whilst it did lengthen my cycle I conceived very quickly on it. I think it lengthens them as it improves egg quality

Morning ladies in waiting…. now this is a strange one. I’m 6/7dpo today (haven’t tracked).

My left ovary diggy/pulsey pains have subsided - not replaced by anything as yet.
My nips feel warm & look a bit bigger
I have a strong peroxide smell in my underwear (very random!!)
I have zero CM - bone dry!

Not the usual cycle at all, seriously just want to test but I know it would be madness and be BFN.

The peroxide smell is making me think what the hell?!

A faint positive for me this evening at 8DPO. I feel anxious and can’t quite believe it. Will see how progression goes over the next few days 🤞🏼

Congratulations!! I hope things progress well for you, keep us updated!

im due to ovulated in next day or 2 hopefully, so here we go again!

SantiagoSister · 17/06/2026 12:21

SummerOak · 17/06/2026 07:55

I managed to get my hands on some pregnancy tests. I do see light lines on both of them.

When I zoom in unfortunately the picture quality isn’t too good (always seems to happen during the uploads I’ve found), but I do think I can see something on the bottom test! Good luck and hopefully you see some progression over the next few days.

SantiagoSister · 17/06/2026 11:23

10 DPO today, seeing slight progression on my cheapies, ideally would like to see them darken a bit quicker but trying not to worry too much. Have ordered some FRERs and hopefully they will be here tomorrow 🤞🏼

Hi everyone! Hope you all get your BFP soon 🤍 We’re officially starting to try for baby #2 in September, but had one “unplanned” try and now I’m symptom spotting 😅 Based on my app I’m around 10 DPO, but I’m on holiday and can’t get a test. Feeling nauseous, sore boobs, and some headaches. Not sure if it’s all in my head or if it actually worked on the first try.

@ChangingK I see a shadow there, hopefully it's more clear tomorrow!

ByAquaFox · 16/06/2026 14:11

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy no I didnt track properly it seems so i don't know if or when I ovulated. All I know is I've never been late for a period but time will tell i guess. I've stopped using the conceive plus fertility support as some reviews on that said it messed their cycle up. I think im just going to get folic acid and what ever else any one can suggest lol

You've been busy! That's what my partner and I will be doing - let's hope we can keep up! 🤣

It’s difficult working around a cosleeping 12 month old and a husband that works shifts but feels like the easiest way to hit the important days. Good luck!

Hello all, I am 8dpo on cycle 8 of trying and I don't know if this is just wishful thinking but I can see a faint positive here. It is more obvious in real life but I'm still not sure. Does anyone else see it? I am nearly afraid to get a digital because I don't want to see the words Not Pregnant again 🙈 The line did appear within the right time and does seem to have some colour too. I feel nauseous and generally not well which is why I tested in the first place as I had actually stopped doing this the last couple of months. Would appreciate anyone else's view. 💗

I can see a faint line! Retest in a few days 😊

1.44 on my LH tests now. We have DTD 17 days in a row and will do today and tomorrow and then have a break I think

IThinkImThirtySomething · 16/06/2026 08:58

keep us updated @SantiagoSister ! I will be testing in two days (8DPO) x

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 16/06/2026 08:50

ByAquaFox · 15/06/2026 14:00

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy yes! Its driving me insane like either show up or give me a positive test. My boob's are killing, im so fricking tired. Have you done any tests yet?

Bodies are so annoying! How closely did you track ovulation? Did you get a peak on Lh tests? Any changes this morning?

I tested for pregnancy at 10, 12 and 14 dpo but BFN. But now I think I didn't ovulate when I thought I did as never had an extended luteal phase like this. So either going to have a anovulatory cycle and AF will appear randomly / potentially ovulated 2 days ago (got 0.75 on Lh tests but missed a few as thought I’d already ovulated so could have missed my peak- did get EWCM and cramps) / or still to ovulate!

LucyCL · 16/06/2026 00:21

AF arrived just now. I was so happy! Just checked the data of the first previous 5 postpartum cycles and now I can confirm that my cycle and LP are getting longer and my body is definitely getting back to its pre pregnancy state. ❤New cycle, new hope!
