TTC baby number 4!

[TTCbaby4]

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

Hey how are you sorry to hear you got another negative it was the same for last month too :( currently in my fertile windows haven’t got much hope but trying to cling on if nothing happens for us this month i think we’ll be taking a little break as we are not wanting a July/august baby

How is everyone getting on? Been thinking of you ladies x

Currently about 8dpo.. how's things with you? Is baby doing okay?

11dpo for me. I’m on holiday in Turkey. Planning to wean cold turkey when we get home on Thursday and I feel really upset about it so I’m praying I get a BFP but we only DTD once, so it’s almost impossible as I wasn’t even fully tracking. I’m tempted to buy a test at the pharmacy but also don’t want to feel depressed the last few days when it’s a BFN. X

@TTCbaby4 Ahhhh not long until you can test. Do you feel you covered ok this month? Keep positive lovely, it will happen ❤️

@CPHB2021 You never know, it only takes one time (speaking from experience)! Sending hugs and hope you’re having a nice holiday - a perfect distraction ☀️ xx

Feels insensitive to talk about me but all is well thank you xxxx

Not insensitive at all!! Have you had a scan or anything yet? Hope the sickness hasn't hit too bad 😂🫶🏻

I feel we covered it well but, I'm starting to wonder if hormones are a bit messed up. Maybe PCOS related so, we'll see. @CPHB2021 fingers crossed for you! When are you testing?

Test while you're out there! Avoid the holiday blues and testing blues together. Id rather have a negative in Turkey than in the UK 😂

@TTCbaby4 Yeah I had a scan at 8 weeks where we saw the heartbeat and baby measuring a week ahead so very positive. I actually haven’t had sickness thankfully! Just nausea in the morning but super tired 🤪 I guess that is expected with 3 little ones 😏

Hope you get that positive soon! X

Hey everyone just wanted to pop on i had a surgery at the weekend to get a diagnosis for my endometriosis who stage 4, i also got some pretty bad news I’ll be unable to conceive naturally without ivf as my only fallopian tube is completely blocked :( i had a feeling this was going to be the case still unsure how to feel atm, but wishing you ladies all the best and sending as much baby dust your way as i can xx

Oh, I’m so sorry you’ve received this news. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to process that.
I've a feeling my endometriosis is causing havoc too. But to find out your remaining tube is affected, that's really hard hitting. I'm so sorry.

Sending you so much love, and I hope you have plenty of support around you while you navigate whats next. You don't have to know how to feel right now, take care 🤍

I am also ttc DC4, first month trying. Currently 8dpo and feel like AF is on the way :( had breast soreness from 1dpo-7dpo but it's gone now which is my usual sign that AF is on the way. Also having cramps and upset stomach, backache, and no cm. Not feeling hopeful but keeping fingers crossed

How is everyone doing? X

Hi! How are you doing? When are you due? I've felt unsure whether to post on here as my journey to ttc number 4 seems to be complete! I'm 17 weeks now, had a scan yesterday and found out we are having another girl! I have boy, girl, girl.. so can't wait to add another little lady into the mix 🥹 and it means my 2 year old and new baby can share a room- so it seems perfect!! Sending everyone lots of baby dust and hope you all get baby number 4 soon xxx

@KatieBee25 I’m due at the start of May! What about you? That is amazing, another girl to love 💕 How are you feeling?

We had our 12 week scan yesterday which was just magical - baby was very clear and super well behaved 😆 We have 3 boys already sooooo fully expecting another! Not going to find out until the birth but we’ll see, I already feel myself caving 😂

Yep, sending all the baby dust to everyone in this forum xx

due 11th of April! Eek I hope you get a girl but an army of boys will be lovely! Good luck and glad you are doing well xxx
