TTC September/October 26

still no peak! but i think i calculated my cycle days wrong and im actually a day behind (CD16 rather than 17, i get confused with when you are actually meant to count from. my period started later in the day)

Not that it matters anyway! but just feel like it's been a loooooong road to see that positive! my tests are hanging around the .3 mark!

last time i say this...tomorrow is the day. I am sure of it! 🤣 good to hear wet CM, deffo creeping up now!

How are you getting on today?!

I’m still showing a flashing smiley but increase in wet CM so hoping it will be in next few days!

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy sorry this month wasn't the one for you either. My period came this morning so onto a new cycle for me as well. Hopefully ovulation will come quicker this month for both of us! Last cycle was my first TTC for baby 2. I didn't realise how disappointed I'd be to not catch first time (which is ludicrous given how long it took the first time 😂)

11DPO today and feeling awful. Not tested yet but I feel so sick since last night. Trying not to get my hopes up because knowing my luck it’s a bug or something. I never had nausea this early with my first

@Caggie09I think it was after 12dpo I got my first line with my son so until AF comes have hope 🤞 it’s just rubbish isn’t it. I’m in the same boat but a couple of days earlier than you. Hopefully we will both have some positive news in a few days x

12dpo, caved and tested. Negative. Period due on Thursday, so will wait and see but assume im out this month and onto cycle 3.

How is everyone? I saw a faint line at what I believe was 7dpo and now I’m 9dpo and it still has something (I think?) but it’s not progressed but now I’m just wondering if I have a dodgy batch. Chat gpt keeps telling me to hold out with the testing 😂 even AI thinks I’m crazy!

Fingers crossed its rising!

Feb to June without a period is rough, I've skipped 1 month before and that was stressful enough!

Fingers crossed for you all to ovulate tomorrow and yay @misslomi on your positive LH.

mine is still low, however, I’ve not seen it this dark in the afternoon, so I’m either dehydrated or it’s rising. 🤣 no ewcm so I’m probably talking bollocks.

I went from Feb to June without a period so pretty normal for me to not have a clue what’s going on 🙈

ah ok! so it could deffo be by the end of the week then! i am the same with 32 day cycles (although, first ever cycle i got a static on the CB at CD17 but my premom ones didnt go positive until a few days later! i did get preggo but ended in a loss so not sure if that had anything to do with it!)

i have tested 3 times today but it keeps going down, not sure what im expecting 😂

i am manifesting tomorrow for us both!

CD1 for me after AF arrived right on time. Into month 10, almost 11 of trying (started last December!). Have finally got around to booking a GP appointment to start investigating why it’s not happening for me, but it’s not for 3 weeks.

They are usually around 32 days but have had a couple of 34-37 day ones!

I normally peak on cycle day 15/16 but unexpectedly had a sharp rise and peak of LH on cycle day 13. This tied in with EWCM. Not sure why it was early but hopefully this is the month to be succesful. Now for the long TWW as 1dpo today

I go by EWCM otherwise I’d probably miss my chance. I use the strip tests rather than digital and scan them with the premom app, they usually stay low, start to rise a tiny bit the day before peak and then peak is over in a flash. I’ve often missed it if I haven’t managed to test twice a day!

Sorry for your losses, I’m also TTC number 3 after a recent loss and it’s a very different feeling than before.

@SugarPlumFairyPop a girl after my own heart! to be honest, last time i got a positive on 8dpo so what's a day or two to test the waters before that 👀! although, the digital ones only come out if i really think something is going on - too expensive!
what dpo are you today?

@GreenPickle last month I also started from about 6DPO and wasted sooo many tests by sometimes doing 2 a day or in the evening because I got so obsessive with it 😂 hoping to wait until at least 10DPO this time but we'll see haha

@Springcloud26 gotcha - hopefully not too long to go! how long are your cycles usually? Mine have deffo changed since having a little one!

@SugarPlumFairyPop when do you plan on testing? I'm a serial tester from about 6dpo 😂 I find flo is hit and miss with my ovulation dates! has me predicted for tomorrow but no peak yet! but it's deffo near enough to work!

Just checking in - only DTD on CD14 and CD17 (CD17 was my Flo predicted ovulation day). Failed to start BBT this month and haven't used ovulation strips but might start in October.
Now officially in the TWW with my next cycle due 3rd October 🤞🏼

Ah fingers crossed it’s tomorrow!

I’ve only tracked one cycle and I peaked on CD22. No idea what will happen this time so just don’t want to miss it!

CD12 for me today and I think my cm is slowly moving from ‘creamy’ to ewcm. I’m feeling so impatient this month, really fed up of all the waiting 😫 we are going to start DTD today and hopefully will ovulate on Saturday (I’m normally CD17). I’m not a very patient person anyway but all the waiting in TTC really drives me bonkers. Hope everyone else is faring better than me today

I often have 4 to 5 days of Ewcm before my peak and my LH tests will still be showing low right until the day I peak (though I use easy@home rather than digital tests) - in case that helps! I use ewcm as basically a sign to start DTD as it gives me a few days of notice! I’m sorry for your losses 💐

ah! it's so disheartening sometimes to not reach peak - but yes i deffo find this wait harder because at least the TWW sort of has an end in sight!

tomorrow will deffo be the day (even though I have been saying that since Friday! I think past 2 cycles i have tracked I have peaked on CD17 (but...who knows!)

I am having on and off EWCM so will probably LH test every 4 hours just in case but cant see it peaking today

when do you normally peak?

CD 17 and still flashing for me too! I think I might have a few more days yet before my peak, no sign of EWCM yet.

I have changed my mind and this waiting is worse than the TWW! 😂

Morning :) TTC #3 after 2 MC and 1 chemical. I’m CD 9 and have the start of ewcm but the digital ovulation test says low fertility. Has anyone had ewcm alongside low fertility reading? For my first two babies I relied on ewcm and aimed for days 11-18 ttc. I’m lacking time and energy so can’t be bothered to dtd unless it’s a chance of pregnancy tbh :/

@Springcloud26 how you getting on? I hope you got your static smiley!

CD16 for me and still no peak 😭 hoping for tomorrow as that's when I peaked in my successful pregnancy! just feels like its never ending!
