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?

Hi everyone just rejoining this month even though my last cycle hasn’t even ended! I’m now on day 35 still no sign of AF and getting BFN. So no idea what is going on but I’ve been in so much pain from adeno. So that could be what’s making me so late. It’s weird because I’ve been feeling so nauseous lately too. Hoping this month is everyone’s month!

10 DPO, do you think this is positive? Taken a lot of other tests as well and they also have this shadow/line ish.

I can definitely see a line!

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy no I don't usually get ovulation pain (every now and again but not reliable) good news for me, I've tested again this morning and got a 1 in premom so this is it! Definitely seeing some fertile cm now. Don't know why I had such a slow gradual rise yesterday, not typical for me. I'll keep testing to make sure I don't miss my peak but I'm presuming ovulation will be in the next couple of days.

Probably should explain that although this is my first month TTC for baby 2, I've been tracking my cycles and ovulation testing ever since my period came back about 18 months ago so I'm pretty familiar with my 'normal' (albeit my normal can vary quite widely!)

That’s great!! So glad you have got your peak! Bodies do like to keep us on our toes 😂. I think once you have a positive result ovulation should happen, you would be very unlucky for it not too. Better get baby dancing!

My Lh has dropped to 0.4 today so that rise is definitely over. Still getting fertile CM but will keep an eye as it whether it dries up over the next few days.

Absolutely! Can we apply this to if we said we’re waiting on a BFP?

I like your thinking! I’m going to try and see! I’m waiting on a BFP this month, it will happen ❤️

I posted last week about my tears that one of the school mums she announced she was pregnant with her second on the first day back.

But anyway back to this month, I would love to join you ladies. I’m CD10 now. My cycles have typically been long the past year or so at 35 days but last month was 32 days (I think maybe coq10 or this other vitamin that is good for egg quality I’m taking may have effected it - who knows) anyway pre mom says I’m going to ovulate on the 15th, ChatGPT (who knows my cycles which is quite sad and probably revealing too much but hoping Russian spies don’t care about my cycles lol) thinks it will be the 17th so I’m going to start using my CB ovulation tests on Wednesday and have started using the cheapies already. I mentioned about doing the sperm meets the egg plan (SMEP) so let’s see how that goes. I can just see ovulation being delayed and us not being bothered to do it by the time it comes, I don’t think we have it in us to do more than 3 nights in a row 😂 but anyway just checking in and wishing everyone luck this month for your BFPs

Digi was negative :/ it was one of the early digis, but I will try with morning pee instead

ThatFluentRubyWasp · 07/09/2026 20:43

Hi everyone! On my 5th cycle trying and I am 32! I didn’t realise how difficult it would be emotionally seeing negative tests and can’t help but feel I am running out of time 😭

misslomi · 07/09/2026 20:47

Advice please...

I am on CD9, I've been testing for ovulation for 4 days, I will attach a photo of my strips. ChatGPT seems to think we need to DTD tonight as it thinks I am coming into my fertile window. The past two months I haven't had my peak until CD14, does anyone have an advice, should we go for it tonight?

What’s the harm in DTD tonight? Even if it’s not the peak every other day at least is ideal throughout the month. I’d go for it

Lack of stamina 😂 we DTD last night and Friday. I'm sure DP won't mind though.

Selyak · 07/09/2026 21:15

CD11 and I think my body is gearing up to ovulate. Although, it did this last month and then I didn’t ovulate when I thought I did but 5 days later so we shall see. Trying not to get my hopes up that this month we’ll conceive but it’ll all change in the TWW

You remind me of myself and my questions to Chatgpt "do I need to have intercourse also today" "do I increase my chances if I also have intercourse today" "how much are my chances increased?" I mean if we had already done it last night and if it's only for 2-3% I 'll pass 😂

Hahaha! Like, I don't want to look back and regret not doing it, so we did 😂

Are you testing ovulation? I go insane in the TWW and convince myself I'm pregnant everytime.

9DPO negative so I think I’m out. I should get my progesterone blood test results today

Me too 😞 sending hugs

Vimto1991 · 08/09/2026 07:32

CD7 and AF has finished. Took my first ovulation test this morning so back in the game.
but spent all of yesterday worried it’s the wrong decision. My only DC started school and it really felt like I was done with the baby phase. The idea of restarting it all at 36+ is so daunting.

9DPO is still super early. You may not have even implanted yet (that can happen up until 12 DPO) and hcg needs 48 hours to double enough to show on a test! It would be very rare to have implanted at 7dpo so don’t count yourself out!

BerrieSweet · 08/09/2026 07:37

I get these very very faint lines in the time frame but still negative on clearblue digital (early). So weird.. Maybe indents?

TTC September/October 26
Silverglass · 08/09/2026 07:43

hm got a super faint line this morning (10dpo), it’s a little darker than most of the indents I’ve had but still not particularly pink even when I look at it. This is after it dried down a bit so not in the time frame (probably about 25 mins after). I also feel like 10dpo is really late to be getting such a pale line even though I know it’s not 😂 will test later and tomorrow and see.
