TTC March/April 2026

[ShivWesker]

Let’s jump on this thread since I can’t find another one 😂

Currently ttc#5. First cycle off the pill. Got four girls already _ Due to ovulate in two days. Already dtd twice out of sheer impatience 😂

Pressed post too early- was meant to say, not waste too many tests as not even sure ovulation occurred!

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy - yes I got my static smiley this morning! Definitely recommend. I just remember getting so disheartened with the other ones.

Haha I'm glad you have a bone maman one too - we have to make the wee in the jar era at least slightly better!!!! X

I am using OvuSense to determine the O day. I used it for my first successful pregnancy and it helped me to catch the egg in the third cycle. I have been using it since I started trying again. It is really expensive however it is worth the money in my opinion. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

Unfortunately, I think it may have been a chemical pregnancy. Line is barely visible today. No period yet but 99.99% sure I'm out for this cycle.

Glad you found your peak @Pollyanna123456 ! And good that the CB tests have worked better! Fingers crossed for you in 2 weeks time 🤞

@LucyCL Oooh, I’ve never heard of that before! I see what you mean about expensive! Think I’ll give it a few more cycles but if we get to 6 months and nothing then I might invest 👀 especially as they say it works with PCOS too! Which the Lh tests can be a bit hit or miss with apparently

@TTCFTM2026 Sorry to hear the lines are fading! Sending hugs ❤️

@TTCFTM2026 sorry to hear this! I had one 2 cycles ago and it’s really hard ❤️ give yourself a bit of time too, this helped me!

Can anyone see a line on this?

@MumOf3amazingkids I see a line, it looks completely dried out though, was it within 5 mins or so?

No it was after almost 24 hours. I just went back to check again for whatever reason

I'm so sorry to hear this. 🥺🥺 I hope the next cycle gives you your heart desire. Is AF here?

I can see a line too! But after 24 hours the test is definitely invalid so evap is likely too. Did you test this morning? How many dpo are you?

Hi all, am i ok to jump on this post. Im on 12dpo tested negative and really thought this month was going to be my rainbow baby month, af is due to rear her ugly head on tuesday😓. Feeling deflated and at a loss again.
Long backstory but found out in feb 2025 at 11dpo i was pregnant which unfortunatley ended in a mmc 28/03. My body didnt go back to normal till june and ive been ovulating normal since then. My periods are normal and last 3-5 days. Im really struggling to get pregnant and no understanding why. Ive been taking supplements since april 2025 Im taking myo-inositol, coq10, nac, l-arginine, selenium, proceive conception and proceive conception omega 3. I eat healthly, walk and go to the gym 3-5 days a week, im 36 dont drink or smoke. I dont know if it matters but had sucessful pregnancy 8 years ago but was an emergency c- section. Ive read load of things about progesterone and taking this from 3dpo. Anyone have any advice?

So sorry to hear about the negative test @Squibblypanda90 . Especially after trying for so long that must be really tough. And sorry about your MMC ❤️

Your supplements all sound good. Have you been to see the GP? As you are over 35 you only need to be trying for 6 months before asking for tests I think?

How do you feel your C-section has healed? I’ve had two EMCS and I’m worried that I have adhesions or something- I’m getting pain during my ovulation/ TWW time that I don’t remember having before. Hopefully I’m just being paranoid though!

Thank you @HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy ❤️

Thank you, ill definatley speak to my gp about my fertility.

I dont think my section healed well as it opened up and i had alot of scar tissue behind it, so im thinking it may be the reason why. I have also been suffering with high alt levels for 6 years but consultants advised they dont think this was the reason i had my mmc.

I have been noticing alot more pains during ovulation which really made me think this month i was pregnant but unfortunatley not.

Sorry to hear your C-section didn't heal well @Squibblypanda90 The opening up again sounds painful! Definitely talk to the GP, there are so many different bits that have to work perfectly for conception to happen and the baby to stick that getting a handle on which bit isn't working so well is a good start. Good that the elavated alt levels doesn’t seem to be affecting things though.

I wish I could get a scan to check all my scar tissue. Have you heard of the NHS ever offering this? I felt i healed really well after the first one but the second one was much more of an “emergency” and I think it’s healed a bit wrong inside. Kicking myself for trying the VCAB and not just having an ELCS!

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy yeah im definatley going to talk to the gp about my concerns, aswell as telling them about my pains during ovulation as there becoming unbearable now.

Yeah i wish i could get a scan to check my c section scar too. I havent i may ask the gp about this aswell.

I have read about cesarean scar defect (isthmocele or niche), which is linked to secondary infertility and impaired embryo implantation i was following a lady on instagram who had this and struggled with infertility and recurrant mc and she had surgery and is now 23 weeks pregnant.

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy thank you! And for you! I am looking forward to taking a break from the old jam jar. Although forgot how painfully long the two week wait is!

I keep seeing loads about gut health having an impact on fertility but I have no idea on where I’d start at looking after my gut! Does anyone take any supplements/ drinks for this?

I'm reading a book at the moment called Plant Powered Plus which is all related to gut health. It's not specific for fertility, but does mention it in some of the chapters and I am finding it really interesting. I ordered it after listening to the author talking about gut health on a fertility podcast I listen to.

Sorry I’ve been a bit absent, it should have been my due date a few days ago and it was just a bit much trying to think about ttc too. Trying to think positive about this cycle though!

Hello to everyone who has joined in the last few days, sending you lots of baby wishes!

@TTCFTM2026 so sorry your lines are fading, sending love.

@MumOf3amazingkids I really hope that was the start of something for you! Have you tested again? It’s so hard to tell sometimes and tests can have heartbreaking evap lines.

Holy dark OPK, Batman!

Surely CD8 is far too early to O, right??

Omg I GOT A PEAK OPK 😭🫶

Wow! That is quite a peak @ShivWesker !! Better get BD-ing!
