TTC / TWW Feb March 2026

[Anya23]

Hi guys! Moving the January thread here!

@EmeraldPie I think some people have naturally lower levels of LH but still ovulate totally fine, so it might be for you that 71 is “peak”. People normally ovulate 12-36 hours after Lh peak. With the Lh tests dropping off today, combined with the ovulation twinges I would guess you are ovulating today!

I would dtd this evening, day before ovulation and ovulation day itself are the two best days to dtd.

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemythank you!

it’s true. I always wonder why I don’t seem to achieve a high peak. Or perhaps it’s so quick that I miss it overnight lol. Yes, if anything I’m hoping ovulation is today. Wondering how my chances are with only DTD once in the fertile window 😂 even if it was a day before ovulation which is still good apparently!1

The day before ovulation is the highest chance! Also, look at us, one time is enough 😂

My AF just arrived. That makes me feel relieved and also a bit surprised. The 2nd postpartum cycle lasted for 27 days and the first one lasted for 31 days. Postpartum cycles are definitely weird. So today is the first day of the third postpartum cycle and hopefully the length of my period will go from 7 days to 5 days (pre pregnancy). Fingers crossed.🤞

My son was a one hit wonder, as it were - it’s definitely possible!

@Anya23 Very true! I know they say you should try to cover more days in the fertile window, but this cycle I seemed to peak earlier (CD13) when it was on CD15 last cycle, so I kind of wasn't expecting it yet! Hoping once was enough 😂

I'm liking these one-time success stories! lol. Were you TTC at the time?

No we were just incredibly hungover and didn’t do anything to stop it. Very happy about it though!

Your chances are very good! I think the advice of doing it more frequently is more relevant you aren’t tracking ovulation. But with the tracking it makes it way easier to just dtd on the most important days, very handy in my case with a non-sleeping 2 year old 😂

Sorry to hear Af has arrived @LucyCL . Always a tough day. Post-partum cycles are definitely weird! Are you breastfeeding? That can really mess it up!

Im so confused about my cycle. Having had a 65 day cycle last time I swear I had a tiny bit of wetter CM today (tmi sorry!) which I normally get before EWCM! So possible fertile period sometime next week! It might just have been a blip but fingers crossed for a short cycle this month!

Hey ladies would anyone be able to give me some advice please? I’m currently cd 36 of a typical 31 day cycle I’ve taken two pt on cd 32 and 33 and they both look negative to me. I’m just really confused I know I could’ve ov’d late but would this mean i’d still have a chance of getting a bfp? I have no symptoms of af apart from bloating which is really odd for me as I typically get very sore breasts.

I do see some shadow of a line, I think, I'd retest in a few days.. Might be a chemical or a really early positive, but I think it should be much more obvious by now

I don’t see anything personally. Is this the first time your cycle is not its regular length?? Did you track ovulation?

Anyone else driving themselves mad symptom spotting? Like I’m knackered and achy but I’m 41 with a toddler, of course I’m knackered and achy 🤣

hiya all! has anyone experienced like lower right light cramping (sorry that’s a mouthful) when having a full bladder? it starts when i wee and finishes a few minutes after I’m done, this doesn’t usually happen to me so I’m crazy symptom spotting rn 🫣🤣

My first was a one time success story. Then she was also almost a month early, but ready to be born. It was such a shock. I was 26. She's amazing, but my head was all over the place when I was pregnant, with anxiety, wasn't sure I was ready, in a good relationship, good place at work and financially, too young.

So I have a 4.5 year gap between my 2 out of choice and got pregnant 2nd month trying.

If I'm pregnant now that would be third month trying, they'll be another 4 year gap, I'm not too bothered about when or whether we convince a 3rd, but it's nice to be on this journey together.

I have a boy and girl, and my husband is most keen to have more. When I was pregnant with youngest, we were going to have a couple more. I've given it so much thought, after youngest was about 20 months. I thought, that's it, our family is complete. He was a very difficult baby. But through lots of discussions and overall enjoying parenting, we've decided to go for another.

@Faraway11, yes a faint positive today. How about you.

Yay!! Congrats and fx for a sticky bean 🥰 bfn here, pretty sure af is on her way aswell! Ahh well onto the next cycle x

Congratulations @Faraway11 !

It’s not me that got positive, I got a BFN this morning and I’m pretty sure the witch is on her way lol x

Oh I'm so sorry!!

Meant to congratulate @Alwaysgrowing x

Thanks. @Faraway11, mine was very faint, weren't not even due AF until Tuesday, were not even overdue so you might still be pregnant. I wouldn't give up on this month yes

Congrats @Alwaysgrowing !! Fingers crossed for a sticky bean.

Sorry about the BFN @Faraway11 They are so rubbish!

I’ve just started Lh testing again this month and it was 0.19! Which I only got on my way up to my peak last month- all other tests were around 0.05! Don’t feel near ovulation yet through, think it’s a least a week away as no EWCM yet. But maybe this is a good sign? It clearly didn’t work last month so different feels good! I’m hoping for a much shorter cycle too 🤞

BFN this morning, 10DPO so that’ll be me out for this month.

6DPO but feeling hopeless already. My LH levels have dropped to 0.05 today, and no symptoms at all (aka no sore boobs!)

Wondering if I actually ovulated (I don't track with BBT because it doesn't work with me as I'm up so many times in the night.) Took letrozole and I had all the CM, and high tests, but I know that doesn't always mean confirmed ovulation 😥
