TTC September/October 26

CD15 still no sign of ovulation.

I've booked a cider festival for 3rd October so I have something to look forward to if this month is a right off.

I want your opinion about something. I had a smiley on digital clearblue 11 days ago. That means that today I am 9-10dpo? Or 10 dpo? I had some mild cramping today and some spotting. (just a red brown spot on my underwear, sorry Tmi). I never again had spotting like this again. But I mean never. Is it possible that this is implantation bleeding?

Evening ladies. I been on and off here for a year or so. But been pretty MiA since the miscarriage in March/April 2026.
I hope everyone is well and we have some graduates since.

I had kinda gave up and was waiting for my NHS referral to fertility Dr. I saw the Gp 4 weeks ago and so a long wait. I then lost my grandmother 3 weeks ago and so me and DH were not in the head space to DTD. We only managed day of Peak and next day only. Assumed this cycle was a write off and wasn't too bothered.
But I got a surprise last night at 8/9DPO. Just popped in my head to test, totally random. My Premom app says 9DPO but FF says 8DPO got a +HPT at 9:30pm. Did a blue dye, clear blue at 8am and it was there VFL.
And at 6:30pm today 9/10dpo it was darker much darker and easily visible.

I have had 4 miacarriagea in the last 15 months. The first 3 back to back never got this dark and remained FL for 3 days and the last one in spring was bleediing and cramping non stop before I even got a Positive. This is the only test that is darker but also feels normal.

I have 2 children out of the 6 pregnancies.
So I kinda know what feels normal and what to expect.
Gaurding my heart and not sharing the news with anyone until I see what happens. Just too worried and kinda scared.

I turned 39 in April. And this would be the best 40th Birthday present. 🙏🏼

forgot to add my test! Sorry.

Very possible especially at this DPO.
Yes give or take. A peak or high LH means O has just occured or will occur in the next 12 - 36 hours. But studies have showen ovulation as late as 72 hours later. All very norm.

You are doing so well to wait and have patience. Fingers crossed for you.

I am doing well and have patience??? I literally did 24 tests this cycle 😂 I am doing a lot of things but have patience is not one this.

I’m so sorry, this sounds so hard. I’m not familiar enough with FSH and AMH to comment (are they to do with depleted ovarian reserve?). Sorry I can’t be more helpful!

It sounds like you have had some tests done. What are your next steps? Have the consultants recommended IVF? Or more testing?

Congratulations on the positive!! @MixedBananas fingers crossed for a sticky bean for you 🤞

Ah congratulations @MixedBananas , I hope it's a sticky one!

@MoodyTudes if you do get a low amh test back apparently isn't a big indicator. Mine was minimal 6 years ago and still have had 2 babies so far, weirdly my level has increased since. I think it makes ivf slightly more difficult.

Update my side, looks like my positive tests were short-lived. I got my 1-2 weeks on clearblue yesterday morning, spotting yesterday evening, and lighter/barely visible positives today. I'm not sure if they do anything for recurrent chemicals but have contacted my fertility clinic to see.

@MixedBananas ahhh congrats I’m crossing everything for you!

I’m tapping back into the thread, just starting my TWW. Been trying since the start of the year, had a MMC in April and been back at it since then. I feel optimistic about this month 🤞🏻

Sooo lovely to see some BFPs on here. I’m 5dpo now and I’ve had cramps like AF pains since en 1dpo. I’m hoping this is just relating to progesterone rise but who knows. Extremely unpredictable cycles and 16thish cycle trying. Sending hope to all x

Both FSH and AMH are blood tests thay show the orvarian reserve - the quantity of eggs FSH is measured in you bloodwork that is done between day 2-5 of your cycle AMH can be done at any time to show a clearer picture of your egg reserve
Next steps are follow up for the cyst in october to seeif it shrunk
I see my doctor in November to have the AMH done
My husband has to get tested and depending on how that goes I want to discuss medicated cycles

Hi all, joining this thread. I’m about 8dpo but got a negative today even though my boobs have been hurting like mad since Saturday… anyone else had this?

Downward dip in temp after a negative hcg yesterday 9dpo not feeling great about my chances this cycle

@MoodyTudes could be an implantation dip!

@MoodyTudes could be an implantation dip!

im about the same dpo as you either 8 or 9 today. My nipples have been tender and feel really tired. Not sure if its just more noticeable as were looking for it or if its early pregnancy symptoms. When do you plan on testing again?

It is a relative dip, but not below your baseline. I wouldn’t write it off yet.

CD10 for me today- I use the clearblue fertility monitor and it has said high since day 6 for some reason! I used it for my last pregnancy and it never reached peak but i concieved so hoping for the same luck ❤

Hoping to reach peak anytime between this Friday and Sunday - the wait to ovulation i find is a lot harder than the TWW as i never know when it will end!

Will probably test from about 8dpo because i cant help myself 😅

Feel like this month is dragging and it's only my first cycle for baby number two

Hi, I got pregnant this month (1st month trying for a sibling, 7 month pp) and it was a chemical. Lines got fainter day by day and yesterday I started bleeding. Does someone have any success stories to share? Maybe got pregnant the next cycle? How fast do I ovulate now? Is this a regular period or is it a special misscarriage period?

Hi I hope nobody minds me jumping on. In the TWW, second month TTC. Have a 3 year old daughter and only now feel ready to go again! Only 3DPO and it already feels like forever. How early can I test?! 😅 I wish the rest of you well on your journey 😊

Hey,

This actually happened to me my first month of trying in 2024.

I had a 5 day bleed so similar to a period and that cycle lasted 6 weeks - i could tell my body tried to ovulate twice but failed! my period came back and we tried again (half heartedly that cycle, i think stress played a big factor this month because we received news that sent me into a bit of a spiral and i remember being fairly ill over ovulation)...

however, next cycle i had a successful pregnancy! so it didn't take too long - basically 1 failed ovulation (i dont really count this as this was my chemical cycle and i imagine my body was trying to adjust), and then a cycle where we didnt really try and then it happened the month after!

7 month pp is still pretty soon after baby number 1 so i imagine your body is still getting back to normal too! and even moreso if you are breastfeeding - hopefully this cycle is the one for you ❤️

This meant a lot, thanks for sharing! It gives me hope ❤️

I am so sorry. I had a chemical in March and the next month (so 2 weeks later) I got pregnant again. There are a lot of similar experiences that got pregnant in the next cycle but ok keeping low expectations is always good. I had like a normal period but heavier. Btw I got pregnant in my first two when my son was 6 months and exclusively breastfeeding. There were like twins and now that are 17&18 they are really close.
