TTC / TWW Feb March 2026

[Anya23]

Hi guys! Moving the January thread here!

I’m now sporting with my 3rd bbt drop so I think I’m out!

Sorry about that @Glittertint - did you test or just going by temps?

I got a bfp this morning. In shock tbh. I’ve had a lot of previous mcs so this is really just the start of another limbo phase but it’s quite a good line for 10-11dpo.

I’m definitely out, BFN at 13 dpo and feeling like my period is due - which it is! On to the next cycle!

Commiserations @Glittertint 😫 hope the next cycle results in a baby for both of us!

And congratulations @BurningOutt 🥳🥳🥳 fingers crossed for a sticky bean for you!

Congratulations @BurningOutt! Fingers crossed for a sticky one!

Congrats on your BFP! fingers crossed for you!

and just going off the temps and spotting! I don’t think 3 drops indicate implantation that seems too long!

Hi everyone! Hope I can join in here☺️ myself and my soon to be husband are ttc #1 and this is our first cycle. I’m 1dpo today and I already feel like this ttc journey is going to drive me crazy! I’m such an impatient person😩

I’m out this cycle pretty gutted ! On to the next 🤞 congratulations to everyone with their BFP!

I just did this, 7-8dpo (I believe 7) - sorry for TMI but I’ve had loose bowels and a raging headache all day, I held my wee for a few hours and lack of patience made me dip a 10mlu and it came up with this. I almost wish I hadn’t, because I’m going to be paranoid now, can anyone else see this? X

Aw sorry! I was so gutted as well when I started spotting (or noticed some brown discharge) at 11DPO last cycle. My temps remain elevated though so it’s deceiving until the end

Think I do 🤞

Congratulations @BurningOutt wishing you all the best for this one!! Enjoy this moment! Totally understand your anxiety though, that’s exactly what previous MC does x

So sorry it wasn’t your month ❤️ everything crossed for you next cycle xx

Patience is the most important thing you need for ttc. There will be ups and downs in this journey and I wish you good luck this cycle!

Today is CD18 and I don’t know if I have ovulated. Before pregnancy, I always had a BBT dip before ovulation day. Yesterday I had a BBT dip and this morning it went up a bit so if it goes up for the next 2 days, I would be 99% certain that ovulation happened. I am sharing two screenshots. If that is really the case, I’d be very happy to know that my 2nd postpartum cycle goes back to normal.😀

@CaffeineAndChords I feel like I see a hint of something!

I’m on CD11 and OPKs are still low, I’ve read that the jump is pretty sudden but should it be climbing more by now? All have been between 0.03-0.08 so far.

Don’t worry! I had this worry this month (first time using LH tests). It was under 0.1 for days and days, then up to 0.37 in the afternoon, 0.6 by the evening and then peak at 1.3 the following morning! Then back down again within 24 hours. So when it happens it is fast!

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy phew, thanks! The premom app suggests twice a day nearer predicted ovulation day so I might start that today.

I've also started temping but only today, so not sure that will give me much to go on this cycle but I'm thinking longer term.

I haven’t spotted like this since before my DD! It’s a weird spotting though, very light and pinky at times, streaky at others and brown so do wonder if it’s implantation! Usually I’ve picked up into a proper flow by now but again not sure if it’s because I’m 11-12dpo and my progesterone hasn’t fully dropped!

I have no idea how to tell the difference

I hate when it’s that tricky time that you can’t tell if it could be implantation or progesterone dropping. Did you say you’d taken a hcg test yet? I’ve always wondered if bleeding due to implantation can be delayed e.g doesn’t happen immediately at the point of implantation…

It can happen basically any time in the first trimester, but obviously if someone has spotting, they should be checked by a doc
I had spotting with my dd around five weeks, when I've already known I was pregnant. It was only one evening, very light pink spotting and there were no issues with that pregnancy!

@EmeraldPie @Anya23 yeah it can be anytime but I’ve read typically they say 6-10dpo so I was 9-10 when it started! It’s more that it’s streaky / mucus coated whereas I don’t usually have that kind of spotting + I’ve got insane cramps. My bbt last night raised by 0.01 which I mean isn’t a sign either way!! I’ve not done a test yet no, I’m away until basically midnight tomorrow so won’t be able to test until Saturday when AF is due anyway so will see and wait it out!

@@GlittertintFingers crossed it's implantation! I always spot before my period, but it's never streaky

Yeah I always spot too but usually like 1 day before a proper flow like within 24 hours but this hasn’t continued. I also never spot this early either. It’s also not streaky or brown either, always bright red! I’ve been in the swimming pool with DD a lot so that could also be why it’s different so probably need to not get my hopes up!

Did you have implantation spotting with your dd?
