I couldn't see that anyone's started a thread for September yet. Seeing as it's tomorrow thought I'd start one now. Seems AF arrived for a few of us at the same time so looks like we'll be in sync over the coming months.
How is everyone doing?

On CD14 and officially into my fertile week, expected ovulation day is Friday 🤞🏼 hope everyone is doing okay so far this cycle 🫶🏼

misslomi · 16/09/2026 11:06

Advice please....

CD18 and still not ovulated, getting some egg white discharge but LH tests are all negative. Getting frustrated and thinking I'm going to have another cycle of no period. Has anyone experienced this?

I want another child so much, we've never had this much trouble getting pregnant, we are on month 6 with one skipped period and looking like its going to be the same again this month.

I always used to say "We never have trouble getting pregnant, its staying pregnant that's the problem"

@Maomee It was the sonographer who performed the scan. I got my report back through on the NHS app today and the dr has said nothing looks concerning but has still booked an appointment to discuss. I do have 2 fibroids but they're small and not in a position where they're distorting the uterine cavity so they don't have an impact on fertility but being in the intramuscular lining could explain my painful periods (thanks chat GPT haha).

There was a lot of detail but the long and short of it is everything looks normal. I'm going to get on to them to schedule a hycosy but I might need to wait for my husband's sperm analysis first to rule out male factor. Hoping that we can get that in for next month or November though.

I don't know if there's something in the water but my ovulation has also been crazy painful this month. Trying not to read too much into it though. We're definitely cycle buddies this month, here's hoping this our lucky month. Hoping it will be 12th time lucky.

Thank you @Fairiebeehow are you getting on in your journey? Glad I’m not the only one here needing her head tested lol

Hahaha that's true. There's a lot of us. I am in the 9th cycle with a chemical and a misc in cycle 3 and 4 so I could have been better but ok... we keep trying 🙂

LavenderSweetPea · 16/09/2026 19:30

@ThereWereNoUsernamesLeft keeping my fingers crossed for you. I'm very close with some of the mums from my NCT group with my first. One of them conceived on 12th time lucky so I'm sending you all that energy.

Maybe you are close and tomorrow or the day after lh test will get positive. The egg white means ovulation is near. In which CD was usually your ovulation?

Would really appreciate people’s opinions on this.. to me this looks like more of a smudge than a second line? Also I am only 7DPO 10pm so surely this would be an evap?

Im going to take a first response tomorrow (8dpo).

Oh I can see it to thick to be evap and has some colour. Do you bbt? Are you sure your 7dpo. Fingers crossed for today.

Shellbells4427 · 17/09/2026 07:05

Anyone else 7DPO? Had awful sharp pain in groin yesterday whilst at Morrisons shopping! Had to bend over a bit from the pain from it.

Mallowmagic1 · 17/09/2026 07:49

@Fairiebeeoh no, you’ve really had a time of it. My heart goes out to you, have the GP been helpful at all? I know we aren’t supposed to wait too long if it doesn’t happen.

Sounds like you have a good plan in place for further investigations should you need them, but here's hoping we both don't need anything further and get good news soon! 🩷🤞 From my research it's perfectly normal to take 18-24 months whatever is going on once you're in your 30s, so you never know!

LavenderSweetPea · 17/09/2026 10:17

I'm 9DPO, I wasn't going to test until tomorrow but I cracked and tested early. Negative :(

Selyak · 17/09/2026 11:04

Approx 6DPO. I’m doing really well at not symptom spotting so far. I had my ultrasound this week to check for PCOS and it all came back normal

LavenderSweetPea · 17/09/2026 12:03

@Selyak glad it all came back normal for you. Have they told you what they want you to do next test wise, or just keep trying?

Mallowmagic1 · 17/09/2026 12:14

So today another flashing clear blue advance cd15, that’s 8 days of the flashing smiley 😭💔 and now we also have two episodes of pink/light red spotting when wiping, I have no idea what’s going on. As if it isn’t hard enough then there’s all this amongst it all.

Caggie09 · 17/09/2026 14:40

7dpo today. Trying not to think about it too much and keep myself busy. I find any spare time i have im just googling and researching. I must stop.

Sorry about the BFN. It really sucks. Hopefully it’s just too early. Will keep my fingers crossed for you!

I also caved and tested today at (maybe) 11dpo. Also a BFN. So expecting AF on Sunday and on to the next cycle!

Sunshine78910 · 18/09/2026 07:12

11dpo BFN this morning. Mentally preparing myself for trying again next month. Sending you all so much hope for loads of BFPs!

Springcloud26 · 18/09/2026 07:26

CD 14 and I think my very long, post MMC AF is finally over 🤞 Still testing low on CB but feeling more hopeful now!

@GreenPickle How are you doing, think you were around same CD?

CD13 - no positive OPK or peak yet! I have been using the touchscreen monitor and that has said high since CD6 😂 I’m hoping for a peak tomorrow but more likely Sunday… but who knows at this point!

just feel like it’s dragging for some reason but doing the cheap ovulation sticks makes me feel more in control at this point!

glad the bleeding is over for you! Would this cycle be longer for you because of the bleeding or do you think the usual cycle length?

Tinkerbell098 · 18/09/2026 11:19

Can anyone see a second line here or am I going nuts?

It’s deffo there! Congrats❤️❤️I think a ‘pregnant’ will show up in a clearblue (one with the red light at that’s early detection!)

Thank you! My hubby dismissed it and thinks it’s an indent so I’m really not sure!
