TTC 2026!

[EmCha]

Hi everyone, I created the TTC 2025 thread but as we are heading into a new year, it only seems right to start a new thread. Anyone here going to be TTC in 2026? I started my journey earlier this year and after 9 months/cycles trying, I’m yet to see a positive test. Finding it difficult not to lose hope but hopefully 2026 will be our year. Would love to connect with others who are trying to conceive. It’s a tough journey but it helps to have a supportive group of women to chat to! ❤️ Good luck everyone, baby dust for 2026!

Hi guys,
im not really seeing much progression. Approx 12dpo and definitely had implantation spotting over 2 days..

Hi, what was the outcome of this? I’m sure I can see a second line. 🤞🏼

Congratulations! Wonderful news!

Chemical :( got my period but back trying again x

Hey guys. Can I join you? I started ttc in October last year. Had a chemical the first cycle and a mmc third cycle. Just waiting for my period post mc now. I’ll be 40 this year so time isn’t on my side. So it’s frustrating to lose a few months over the miscarriage. Got my fingers crossed for the next cycle, my hormones have been all over the place too much to try effectively straight after mc I think. Hope you’re all doing okay this Monday morning. At least it’s starting to feel like spring is on the way!

Aw I’m sorry. 😞 Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

Of course, welcome! So sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Hope you get your baby very soon. 🩷

Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing okay. Just an update from me, sad day as my period has arrived again and I’m now into cycle 12. Positive news is that our fertility referral was sent off today so at least the ball is moving with that. Also got my partner’s semen analysis back which was good! Very, very relieved but also feeling like I’m to blame for us not getting pregnant and I hate giving him the bad news month after month. Fingers crossed we get our positive this cycle, even if it would mean a Christmas baby which is what we initially tried to avoid last year. 😂

@EmCha Great news that your fertility referral is progressing. Keeping everything crossed for you!

We're halfway through cycle 11 and starting the tww. We were also trying to avoid a Christmas baby but not so fussed now, just want a positive.

This is literally us 🤪 Always said no Christmas baby now I’ll just take any baby hahaha!

Yep same here! Can’t believe I thought I’d be getting a choice. It’s already mine and my partners birthday in the week leading up to Xmas though so we were really really hoping to avoid that time!

Evening all. Joining this thread at 11dpo and this morning noticed a tiny bit of brown discharge on wiping - thought Aunt Flo had arrived early, but had very very sore boobs. We weren’t trying but not preventing and I got these results. Very very early but 🤞🏻 will be following here! X

omg guys I’m shaking 9dpo 😭😭😭

Hi it's me again, my next attempt, 3dpo, récurrent miscarriages. I had one cycle of break after mms. Who's still here?

Tested at what I thought was 12dpo (still struggling to get a positive read on easy@home ovulation tests) and bfn. This was a couple of days ago. I know we haven't timed this right if ovulation occured later, we both had work trips. So now I need to wait for my period.

I'm going to try wondfo ovulation tests and concentrate on confirming I'm actually bloody ovulating. Work has been so stressful recently that there is a good chance I'm not!

Wishing everyone luck for their current or next cycle (if in a similar boat to me)

I'm using free version of fertility friend app for 15 years now and it helps with confirming ovulation, and also symptoms spotting and it's gives you your stats and predictions after you record 3 cycles. I put there my temperature in a morning and it creates graph and also you put there your test results and other things so it's easier to track your ovulation and cycle in general.

I will give that a go, thank you @ewelb

Congratulations!! Dreaming of this day 💜💜

I see it! Congratulations 🩷

Another failed month for me. That’s 12 cycles of constant negatives and not sure how many more I can take!

Sorry to hear that @EmCha 😢 sending lots of hope, keep strong!

im just in my first cycle so new to this game - should be due AF on Thursday so I’m praying that she doesn’t come and I’ll be taking a test early next week - but of course I know chances of it happening first cycle are extremely low so I don’t have my expectations up 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I am sorry @EmCha. i know you track ovulation etc but is it only in your fertile window that you try? It didn’t happen for me for almost a year. Then I got pregnant outside my fertile window when I did not expect it. Still battling the anxiety around it even though it is so wanted!

So sorry @EmCha . That’s so hard. You have reached the milestone that no-one wants to reach. Will you be going to the GP to start fertility investigations now?

Hi guys I got this today after work my last period was 23 march

I am 10dp according to app
