TTC / TWW Feb March 2026

[Anya23]

Hi guys! Moving the January thread here!

Sounds a good plan @iwasgonnasay Fingers crossed for you 🤞 All being well, will do you an early scan? Feeing rather invested in the twins/ not twins situation!

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy ooo I don’t know .. maybe if the symptoms stay as strong as they are now!? As never really had any symptoms at all and now I’m a walking text book 😭 i know some say they knew based on that and others were completely shocked. I don’t have viable twins in the family so it’s not something I’m exactly expecting

Yay congratulations!!

A couple in my last NCT group had twins - wasn't on their radar and no twins in the family. Total surprise! ... Keep us updated 😊

So might test again later … just over 7 days late for at and feel icky but not ill

Sickness sounds hopeful! I do think your chart must be wrong and you didn’t ovulate when it thinks you did as it would have showed up on a test by now? Did you get any ovulation pain or EWCM at a different point? On the chart it looks like you have a dip on the 19th Feb? Anything around that point?

If you don’t get pregnant this cycle I would really recommend LH testing. I did for the first time this cycle and it was so helpful to pinpoint ovulation. I was about a week later that I would have guessed based on when EWCM started! I think my body tried to ovulate, didn't, tried again and 🤞 succeeded (though I’n still not bbt testing so can’t confirm ovulation.)

Hmm lol

I do see something, but I think it was something similar a few days ago.. Do you have an opportunity to go for a blood test for hcg?

Diff type of test not early one just regular one in case, others were early cheap strips

If you're truly 21 dpo then this should be a lot darker on a regular test as well. Unless you've ovulated much later really

Very possible late O

Hi all.
I just took a test, left it near the sink and popped into in the shower.

Is it positive?
Could water droplets splashing around have made the lines go darker?

The tests were bought in September.

Wow it's re strong! I think water would do the opposite, don't worry! When would AF be due?

Hey @Anya23 !

Thanks for the quick and positive message.
I am breastfeeding my 19 mo bubba still, so no period. Had bleeding on 22/01/2026 though.

I see! I'd say you're definitely pregnant so congratulations! Maybe try and get the clearblue week indicator to see how far along you are x

Excellent!
I'll go tomorrow morning get myself one!

Think I ovulated yesterday / last night so today is 1dpo! Back to what I did last month with hot water bottle every night and lots of good food and fibre! Ovulation was CD21 and we did CD 20,19,17 so hoping we covered ok. Not sure if there’s much point today as NC says low chance!

also feel the positivity in the delayed ovulation as was due on at beginning of holiday but now it’s after! And I just feel like it’s life giving me a break to enjoy my holiday, forget TWW and not get any disappointment as AF won’t be due!

Hi everyone
6DPO this morning, had some cramping and lower back pain for a day or two, I keep thinking AF is going to come early 😣 like it did last month. But nothing yet! Planning to hold out till 12DPO (if AF hasn’t already arrived) as I’m off work that day.
Anyone else similar timeline? TWW is brutal!

Hi, hoping I can hop on! Got a faint positive yesterday at 11dpo, day of my missed period. Tested again today, definitely still positive but even fainter than yesterday so feeling a bit anxious and not wanting to get my hopes up just yet...

@Glittertint Glad it has finally happened! I didnt dtd the day after ovulation either. As you say, chances are low and it looks like you dtd plenty in the run up so think you are well covered.

Hope you have a good holiday! Where are you off too?

@ClaireF992 I’m a bit behind you, 3dpo. But don’t think I can hold out until 12dpo so will probably be testing at a similar time 😂.

@CSR721 Fingers crossed you have a sticky bean!

4 DPO / CD18 I’ve just woken up to blood…pretty sure it’s too much to be implantation bleeding, feel crampy too 😔

It's also too early to be implanting.. Could you have ovulated earlier?

@Anya23 possibly, I was only going on the date my app predicted.

Then it's possible. I ovulate on CD 11/12, but my app used to predict cd14 as well, until I started entering in data about ovu. After a few months it'll learn your pattern

Oh no! It would also be very very early for AF? More likely it’s like Anya23 said and you ovulated earlier than you thought and this is implantation bleeding? Fingers crossed it stops soon 🤞
