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 everyone, app says IL be one dpo tomorrow, had allot of false positive last month, I hope IL be lucky this month🤞

Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing okay. I’ve not been tracking this cycle but going off my CM I think I will have ovulated last week. I took one reading of my BBT a few days ago and it was 36.50 which is a normal temp for me after ovulation so I’m pretty sure I have, just don’t know exactly when. It’s definitely making the luteal phase easier not knowing what DPO I am.

Anyway tonight I’ve had really intense stabbing pain right in the middle of my uterus. I’ve had random twinges in the past which I always hoped was implantation and never was but to be honest I’ve always been hyper focused waiting for potential symptoms. Today’s pain however was different. Lasted about a minute and it was really deep and intense, took me by surprise as I was mid conversation with my friends. I really hope this could be it. 🤞🏼

@EmChaFingers crossed it is! I had that sharp pain twice in this cycle (never before, just when I started spotting with my MMC), although at two different points, so for me it was not it unfortunately. Had it right after AF ended, and once around 5 dpo.

Hi everyone, I don't have good news I had missed miscarriage last week. Will have a break this cycle and retry ttc next cycle😢I'm having a hard time

@ewelb I'm so sorry to hear this, will be thinking of you. Sounds like a good idea to take a little break this cycle, wishing you peace x

I’m so sorry 😔 Sending lots of love ❤️

@ewelb aw I am so so sorry 😢 just look after yourself and take all the time you need 💞

Hello - where did you get this checked? Was it through GP? Xx

Yes through my GP. x

Well my period of course has arrived. I should’ve known I wouldn’t be lucky to have finally had my chance!! Only two months away from the ‘struggling with infertility’ label now. 😔

Hi everyone - I am TTC baby no 1. I had a TFMR at 19 weeks in October 2025. It was absolutely heartbreaking and devastating. I now just had a Chemical Pregnancy. I feel like i’ve got bad luck and everything is absolutely crappy.

Please may I ask what vitamins/supplements and naturally things you have done to concieve?

I'm sorry to hear about your experience and how you're feeling about the whole TTC process - I hope you find these forums a place to express all those emotions and get some good advice!

There are so many different anecdotes for what helped people conceive but it's hard to know what impact things actually have. I stopped drinking alcohol, massively reduced my caffeine and ate more healthy fats/protein. I'm also taking a range of supplements (choline, Coq10, iron, vit D, omega 3) alongside my prenatal but suggest you do your own research and/or have bloods done to see what might help you.

Are you tracking (bbt/OPKs)? It's super cliche but the month we were successful last time was the month I lost track of everything and went with the flow (we had just gotten engaged).

We've been away for the week and I was fretting so much about no sign of AF/worried I wasn't ovulating. Took a test this morning and BFP (2-3 weeks)! ✨

@hopeful4us that's amazing, congratulations!

Hi guys :) I’m currently 10dpo - 2nd month of trying although last month as my first without copper coil so had a strange cycle. I have ovulation tested this month so feeling more confident that I have actually ovulated as normal. Scared and nervous to test..??? Some small symptoms earlier in the week (vivid dreams every night for a week, cramps, nauseous and tired)

Welcome @BeBusyReader! I think if you're 10 dpo, that's just usual symptoms of the tww for now! But you can still be pregnant of course! When is AF due?

It’s due on Thursday - I might test in the morning?

I would! Let us know x

No idea if I ovulated this month as I couldn't catch my peak via testing. Based on when it should have been (ish) I would be 9dpo today. I've just had a small amount of pink spotting. Now my mind is racing with thinking that it could be implantation bleeding. Spotting before a period isn't unusual for me but this is oddly early

I think I’m negative :( only 11dpo today so maybe there’s still hope?

Sorry to double post lol I’m having a bit of brown discharge on wiping so took another test.. I can see a faint line I think so I inverted and ?? Have I reached new levels of delusion???

I see it on the normal picture as well @BeBusyReader
But I don't know what the brown discharge can be, do you spot before your period?

No never.. I’m due on Thursday but this is like brown old stuff not my usual period! omg imagine! I will test with morning wee :) The first picture was this morning and 2nd this afternoon about 4 when I got home from work. X

Fingers crossed! Maybe it can still be implantation bleeding!

Thank you I really hope so 🤞
