TTC - July 2026

It’s so draining isn’t it all the symptom spotting and testing! I wish I was able to just wait to test until a missed AF. Got everything crossed for you! 🤞🏼✨

9DPO today, big drop in BBT (above cover line though still) and BFN this morning. Starting to lose hope but I know it’s still early! I do feel sick this morning but could well be tiredness / anxiety of testing!

13dpo three days since I had what I can only assume was implantation bleeding but iv had a negative test this morning 😭 maybe it’s still early but I’m just even more confused now! This is a really tough the confusion the testing 😭😭😭 I had implantation bleeding in my last pregnancy and got a faint line at 12dpo starting to lose hope but also I’m not out until I’m out, what a long weeek it’s been!

@ASpTTC @SpryHazelEagle 💓💓

Ha! Me too, I read and participated every now and then on hitched and babycentre years ago for first wedding and first baby but I’m useless at it!

Given age, how long we’ve been together (17 years) and a 19 year old son (that answers that question!) I’m not expecting any of the usual enquiries which a) takes the pressure off and b) if we do get lucky this will absolutely floor people. Well apart from my mother and sister. Mother because she had aforementioned sister at 40 and the sister who’s now a doctor to ask if we are crackers to even attempt it.

I can see this too! 😍 xx

I definitely see it too, gentle congratulations! Would love to see your line progression tomorrow!

Thank you lovely!

That sounds like a great plan to stop doing tests after Sunday's digital. 😊

I will be testing in the morning, can’t help myself! It’s so hard to have the patience

I’m 8dpo and I’m just debating if I test in the morning or not if my temp stays high. My temp soared this morning but I know it’s probably just progesterone at this stage!

I caved and did a test 8DPO, BFN 🙈 obviously! Still convincing myself I see the faintest line but I genuinely don’t think I do tbh… will test again tomorrow morning but feel a bit disheartened as I got a VVVVVFL on 8DPO with my first born

I see it @TheUniqueMember! Congratulations!

AF not due here until Sunday so I feel
like I tested super early (was also 9DPO) but tests are getting darker each day and I’ve had some twinges which I’m hoping is everything settling in for the long run. Planning to do a digital Sunday and then put the tests away.

Thank you for good luck wishes!
I’m only on CD14 and my app isn't predicting ovulation until CD34 so just sitting here twiddling my thumbs really! Just hoping for a shorter cycle than my last!

Yes! Im wondering the age gap is getting too big and I don’t want to go back to the beginning again. We have no more nappies, almost dropped the nap, can walk at a reasonably pace etc. Feeling like I might just get annoyed adding a new baby to the mix. Been trying for 8 months and so over it. I was so excited at the beginning. Sad that the joy has been sucked out of it.

Yep. My husband and I are just so over it now 😅 It’s been a long year!!

@StillWingingIt97 i have done the every other day plan, try on the day i get a positive and then the next day. It worked for us for our first baby and hopefully it’s worked again this cycle x

Is anyone just losing interest? Like I want a baby and was really stressed for a bit and now I’m a bit like… meh

Its almost like I can’t be arsed to get anxious again. Too much effort haha

Thank you 😊

I hope so too, make sure you advocate for yourself! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 ✨️

Thank you lovely! 😊 I wish the same for you when it happens❤️

How far along are you in your cycle now?

Hope everyone is doing okay. I’m 8dpo and have my phone appointment with the GP today. Hoping they will run some blood tests to check hormones and maybe an ultrasound to check things out internally. I’m starting to suspect endo so I’m going to mention that too! They’re normally really good so hoping I don’t get fobbed off. All the while crossing fingers hoping that this cycle we’ve conceived.

I think I can see it! Whispering congrats 🤞

I can totally see it @TheUniqueMember !!! Congratulations!!! Hoping for a sticky bean for you ❤️

Good morning everyone 💖 (depending where you are in the world)

I have woken up with a lovely sore throat courtesy of my DD AND I also caved and took a pregnancy test.......at 9dpo...

I have a very faint line that doesn't like the camera. I've attached one to this comment. It's pinky/red colour in person 💖

Glad the spotting stopped. Hopefully the busy day helps.
I'm going to try and hold off testing for a few days. Seeing the negatives is disheartening

@inkgirl im still waiting to test I’m 12dpo, I had some spotting from 9dpo it’s now stopped so I’m really hoping it was implantation the fact it’s stopped is a good sign I feel I’m going to try to hold off to test tomorrow, getting so nervous because I’m getting my hopes up 😭😭 iv a busy day today so it will keep my mind off it…hopefully
