TTC baby number 4!

Hello, just looking for some advice and I guess, somewhere to offload!

Me and DH are currently trying to conceive baby number 4, but, I haven't had a period since August 2025.

February 3rd - February 7th 2026, I noticed spotting when I wiped. Pinky, very light, then some very pale orangey, and also some tinged in clear cervical fluid.

One app suggested this was my fertile period..

Another suggested it was my period.

February 5th I started using clear blue digital ovulation tests and on the 5th - empty circle
On 6th I got a 'Still smiley' so, DTD.

Had full, heavy feelings in right side ovary (my dominant ovary) then and since then, but tracking LH with premom tests, all showing 'low' (Highest 0.42)

Cervical mucus now 'thin, lotiony, but I'd class as drying fast or, on the drier side ' on 16th February.

I've been wanting to implement the shettles method but, obviously without having had a period of a structure to my cycle, I'm struggling.

So, feeling a little depleted with attempts.

Anyone else had these struggles with not knowing if or when you'll have a period or ovulate?

I feel like I'm wasting my time.

Hey everyone congratulations to all that have positive tests, I’m currently 7 days late but definitely not pregnant so just wait for AF to show up got a feeling it’s going to be a bad one when it does show up

How’s everyone doing? I’m hyping myself up to test again this month. I know it’ll be negative again! But we did try and we BD four times over my app’s prediction. I decided not to do strip tests this month. I think I’m about 8/9dpo from the app and cm etc. I feel so sad about weaning my toddler but so ready to be pregnant again!

BFN again on 11dpo. Gosh, it’s quite exhausting isn’t it. To have bfn month after month. X
