TTC/TWW May June 2026

@SantiagoSister thats amazing! Keep us updated!!!

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 🤞🏼

Can I ask what vitamins are people taking. The one im taking is conceive plus ones but ive just read reviews saying it messes with your cycle which could be why I'm delayed

@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?

CD26 and OPK of 0.98 I think it might finally be happening

Is your period still AWOL? Mine is! 3 days late now 😂 so annoyed that I got ovulation day wrong, I’d managed to pinpoint it really accurately in my previous cycles!

That’s all sounding positive @BeKeenPeachLemur, maybe it’s just a little bit too soon to test and you’ll start to see some lines over the next day or so 🤞🏼 fully get you on the symptom spotting, I’ve been terrible for it this cycle. Paying attention to all sorts of things which I never normally would, so unsure if they’re just normal for me and I’ve not noticed them before, or whether they’re actually positive signs. Only time will tell I suppose but the TWW is a killer!

@Baby3PraiseBe I’ve had something similar this cycle, usually I notice that my boobs get sore just after ovulation, but this cycle I’m 8 DPO today and the soreness only started yesterday. So could just be delayed onset but who knows. I hope it’s a good sign for you as it’s different to your normal 🤞🏼

Im 9DPO tested today and it is such a BFN.... I had some brown spotting 7DPO evening and 8DPO in the morning, which I have never ever had before.. I know it is still early to test but I just feel different this cycle... I think the TWW is driving me insane and symptom spotting every single thing 🙄

I’m on 3/4dpo and by now I’d have pms breast pain. I don’t track but my temps up and usually by now my boobs would be killing me.
This is baby#3 with a 13yr age gap so my memory of symptoms plus my age (now 42) is woolly.

Anyone else lacking the usual PMS breast pain in the 2ww? Feeling mildly confident this cycle.

8 DPO and BFN this morning, half expected it as it’s still early of course. Only tested as I had faint positives at this point in my previous pregnancies. Have sore boobs and been feeling twinges the last few days, so keeping fingers crossed.

Glad the tests were all normal, that’s very reassuring for you!

Still no period was due wednesday. No positive test either. Hate this limbo stage

My period is now 2 days late but BFNs. Think I didnt manage to ovulate when I got a “peak” of 0.93 on the Lh tests. Just tested now and Lh was at 0.75 so might be gearing up for another go? Or just a late period and I’ll start bleeding tomorrow. Who knows, im so confused at this point.

I’m now on CD58. At what point to i go to the GP to ask for medication to force a period?? Any ideas of supplements I could take to help my body ovulate? Im currently taking myo-inositol, folic acid and Vit D.

Glad your hormone test all came back ok, I know you were worried about them so it’s great that everything’s looking good. Great timing on your husbands behalf too!

I remember we were CD buddies, I’m now 6 DPO and planning to start testing on Monday, I can’t help myself, wish I had more patience. I’ve had a really stressful few days the last few days, so I’m not sure if that might impact things, but will have to wait and see.

Update:

TTC - cycle 3 but proper 2nd cycle trying after our late loss. Had hormone blood tests done and all came back normal which is reassuring.

My husband was away but came back last night, just in time for my peak today! 🥳 Cycle day 20. It’s now obvious that I’m just someone who ovulates slightly later as this is my norm for all my cycles that I’ve tracked!

Hope everyone is okay! 🩷🩷

This sounds so hard for you, I’m so sorry!! I can see that that makes it very difficult to leave as that maternity pay is great. But must feel very trapping. Vomiting and migraines sound awful, that much stress can’t be helping. I hope you have a better weekend.
How is your job market? Any hope of a different job even without the maternity benefits (if possible financially for you?)

Thanks for the info! Ah, I didn’t realise it required a fertility clinic referral, i thought GPs could prescribe. Oh dear, guess I should make an appointment then, as I doubt the referral will be quick!

Glad that the side effects aren’t too bad and that it works well for you. How many cycles has it taken you to conceive previously? I feel I just need a little nudge and my body would ovulate so I’m hoping it would work well for me too 🤞

Tested today in case temp drop was implantation and stark white test (Rude!) at 10dpo. I’m out. It’s actually good to know and not a surprise. I haven’t felt even slightly fertile since miscarriage and think it’s take a while to come back.

I guess I’ll see some of you on ttc June and July although hope you get your positives and are off on the due Feb thread instead. Sadly not for me.

Roll on the end of the month. That's when I'm going to remove my patch and hope for the best. They say that it can take a while to have a period but fertility can come back straight anyway so I'll be testing with opks and temperature and see how we go 🥰

Hey - no I do not mind at all. I didn't get my letrozole through the NHS but have friends who did and I think its one of the easier treatments to get but I believe still requires a referral to fertility which can take a while. The main symptom I get is headaches when I'm taking letrozole and a bit of fatigue but nothing too major. It does really work for me though and I can always feel the corpeus luteum afterwards which is a little painful.

I have no idea what to do. My job is awful but pays me 6 months full pay plus a big bonus with coming back from Mat leave. I got back next month but always planned to be going back pregnant. I think it could actually be the work stress affecting me more than the breastfeeding. I am vomiting a lot and suffering from migraines. I don’t know whether to quit my job or stop breastfeeding first
