TTC / TWW Feb March 2026

[Anya23]

Hi guys! Moving the January thread here!

Oh good! So glad you had similar numbers @dreamanotherdream ! That is really reassuring. Will keep my fingers crossed for a rise tomorrow/ following day 🤞

I’m the same as you, I’m CD14 and I normally ovulate CD16 but LH has actually dropped and is my lowest reading so far since CD9. Hoping I start to get my surge later today or tomorrow. I’ve not used these easy@home strips or Premom app before.

CD13 and waiting for my LH surge! Was around CD18 last time and no EWCM so think I might be similar again! Seems to be becoming my norm

@ClaireF992 Glad someone else is in the same situation as me. Still nothing here, just tested and Lh is at 0.08… 😭

@Glittertint Hope you get your LH surge soon too! It’s so tricky all this waiting!

It is! But given my chemical last month I’m also like happy if it’s the same as it gives me some hope we might be more successful this time!!

It seems like LH test strips don't work for me. Either that or I'm missing the peak or I need to try a different type? I don't know, but I once got a very dark near positive, but it wasn't a true positive from what I've looked into. I also haven't seen a clear positive this cycle, but my BBT and body signs are saying I've ovulated.

Anyway, so happy to see that crosshair on my BBT chart. I started charting BBT last cycle and it was all over the place. So I haven't seen one of those before, so pretty much the first time ovulation has been seen apart from a doctor telling me "it looks like you do ovulate" a few months ago after I had a scan...not sure how they knew really as it was a brief discussion, but I'd hope they know what they're talking about.

So looks like this is 3DP0. I feel more hopeful than before and trying not to let the doubts seep in. I have been spotting a lot this cycle though, so will talk to a doctor either way. Sorry for the yapping!

Anyone else in the TWW?? : )

Hi everyone

Has anyone else tested positive on 8dpo??

I tested 3 times this morning as been having strange symptoms (boobs felt swollen, very emotional) like my first pregnancy and got 3 positive tests.

It feels very early for the lines to be so strong?

I cant quite believe it, Dd took over a year to conceive, this was our first time dtd in months.

But why are you testing with LH strips? LH does rise before period as well

Head is all over the place, sorry if this is the wrong thread. Mumsnet was a big support to me in my first pregnancy (dd just turned one!)

Oh my god thank you for pointing that out. Im an idiot and a complete sleep deprived mess 🤣

Just redid with two pregnancy test strips and no line.

I’ve got loads of EWCM but still very low LH! Still 0.09 ☹️ really hoping for a rise this evening.

How are you getting on @Glittertint and @ClaireF992 ?

Ahah that's okay! On the other hand, 8 dpo is early so you could get a positive in a few days!

So I'm not testing for ovulation yet, as I feel I could end up totally obsessed, but according to my app (Clue) my fertile window starts tomorrow til the 26th. Told my partner we have to DTD as much as possible in that time and he was agreeable 😂

Clue was bang on for me last time, if nothing happens in a few months then I'll look into OPKs etc.

Anyone else's dates similar?

ok so.im quite confused no sign af just weird symptoms and a tightness over my lower pelvic area. May test again later but any advice?

How long is your luteal phase usually?

Roughly 18th to the next 18th so I’m tad miffed

@Flataf If I’m reading the chart right you are expecting your period tomorrow? That would be 14 days post ovulation? So if you test you will get a clear result one way or the other. You should get an obvious line at this point if you are pregnant, not a squinter!

It’s what I thought but day or so ago on one cheapie stix it’s was like faint if that so it’s y I’m so confused. My Fitbit thought 18th should have been af lol so I’m glad I’m not only t hi ng feeling confused

@Flataf you could have had a negative test 2 days ago and then a positive today! HCG has to be at a certain level to be detected by the pregnancy test and it doubled every two days.

Your chart does think AF is tomorrow, so I’d trust that over the Fitbit. I’d test tomorrow morning as that will give you a definite answer one way or another even with cheapie test.

Still nothing for me yet! Not really even got EWCM but I’m like CD13/14 as I’m not sure if I should’ve counted day 1 as day 1! I got to like 0.5 on my LH but I had this last month, so just not really testing yet until I get my EWCM! My bbt is still low temps and we’ve been dtd CD7,10,12 so far, trying to do every other night so that we are prepared for when ovulation decides to happen! Same as what we did last month so 🤞🏼 O day was CD18/19 so hoping for some kind of sign tomorrow!!

So it wasn’t my month, AF arrived today cycle day 37. So like my last cycle before where it began the same time, maybe it’s my new cycle length I don’t know, be ok if it was just wanna know 100% tbh cos irregular isn't fun.
I think maybe this cycle every 2nd or 3rd day having sex just to be on the safe side 😀

Morning all. Sorry been a bit absent this last week as was on holiday with my partners family.

I'm 8dpo today. And I've got this weird feeling that we've gotten pregnant this cycle. DH and I are very good at getting pregnant (3 pregnancies in 7 cycles of trying last year), we're just not very good at staying pregnant.

I've had implantation spotting each time, and had a bit of spotting yesterday at 7dpo. I don't think it's early AF spotting or bleeding as my boobs are quite sore so progesterone surely hasn't dropped enough for my period to come yet.

I do want to find out ASAP as I've been offered progesterone because of the previous losses and I feel the earlier I can start that, the better. But also don't want to be squinting at tests for the next few days. Will probably try and hold off testing until Monday.

Ok so tested
I Duno?

Today is 6dpo. This is the first cycle after giving birth so I have no idea how long this one is going to be. I didn’t test LH every day. I have no expectations which makes this 2WW very easy. I will test next Thursday which will be 11 dpo.

I’m still at 0.1 LH! Don’t know what to do. So weird that I still have EWCM. Think my body must be trying to ovulate and failing miserably. Maybe I need to cut down a bit on the breastfeeding?

Hope it’s going better for you @Glittertint ? Any EWCM arrived yet? Think I’ll have to follow your plan of dtd every other day and 🤞 it will happen at some point. It’s just not easy to get the energy up for it with a toddler who doesn’t sleep 😩

@Flataf I don’t see a second line, sorry. At 14 days post ovulation the line should be really clear for a viable pregnancy. Unless you think there is a chance you ovulated much later than cycle day 14?

@xTryingForBabyNo2 Sorry AF has arrived. Feeling your pain about irregular cycles! They are the pits!

Will keep my fingers crossed for you @Taysonic ! Hopefully this month will be your sticky bean! When will they start you on progesterone? As soon as you get a postive test?
