@Bubs94 sorry it didn't work out this cycle. Make sure you take time and look after yourself.

Bubs94 · 21/04/2026 17:57

Thanks ladies! It’s okay, I’ll still be here until the next 2 week wait haha!
How are you going @SKLM

SKLM · 21/04/2026 19:50

@Bubs94 yeah okay. No period today, test lines getting stronger. Lots of cramps which I remember having with my first early on. Quite anxious it won't stick.. just trying to take it easy and not stress too much x

It’s getting so much stronger 🥹x

Plumchumm · 21/04/2026 20:22

I’m so sorry @Bubs94 😔x

ThisHangryTiger · 22/04/2026 07:35

So last night just before bed I wiped and it was red, not fully red so thought eurgh. This morning though, no red but some light brown. Fingers crossed it stays that way 🤞🏼

SKLM · 22/04/2026 11:03

@ThisHangryTiger good luck. Is af due today? x

OP posts:
ThisHangryTiger · 22/04/2026 12:36

@SKLM based on a 10 day luteal phase AF should have appeared on Monday, but sometimes when I've been tracking it's gone to 12 days which is today. I didn't test today as had to catch an early flight but got tests with me, plus AF items and my special cup 🤣

PandaLife · 23/04/2026 08:48

Hey ladies, I hope you’re all ok? As I said the other day, I gave in and tested my LH levels after having an unusual amount of ewcm. My levels have been rising steadily over the last few days which in itself is different to previous months as I got 0.1s and mostly under 0.10 and even my peaks were low. This cycle is very different .. which might be a good thing 🤞🏼 but this is this mornings result. I’ve never had a ‘high’ before 🙈 according to my dates, I shouldn’t be ovulating until Sunday.

@PandaLife wow looks like you may be ovulating soon! Keep testing - what is your cm doing?

So ladies thank you for all of your support. I hope this works out for me and my husband, and I hope you all have your babies soon.

I will miss chatting in this forum!

@SKLM aww great to see this for u 🥰 I think it hits different when u see it in works and the weeks infront of u. Hoping all goes smoothly for u and it’s a healthy happy pregnancy ❤️ that’s for all the support.

@PandaLife id take that as peak and make sure u get to dtd today and tomorrow 🎉 what CD are u now?

I am CD 10 and dtd last night but think ill get peak either tomorrow or Saturday (same as last month) because of CM signals so just gona dtd fri and sunday to cover off fertile window and try not pee on sticks or over do it this month. Easier said than done thou

Lookingtogrowthefamily · 23/04/2026 11:54

Ah wow @PandaLife! That looks like a peak to me! Will you keep tracking though to make sure it drops?

so happy to see your tests @SKLMespecially after the crazy month of your lh tests. So happy for you!

sending positive vibes your way @DmcinTfor this month! Xx

SKLM · 23/04/2026 12:07

Positive vibes for everyone!! Spring fertility to all!

PandaLife · 23/04/2026 16:25

@SKLM I am genuinely so happy for you 🩷 definitely keep in touch.

@DmcinT I am CD10 too. We dtd two nights ago and I’ve prewarned him that we’ll be doing it again tonight ha! And I’m with you on the stick thing, I only have ovulation strips in the house. I wasn’t going to buy pregnancy ones.. but I might next week 🙈

I still have ewmc and I’ve had a lot of it this cycle. I listened to a podcast a couple of weeks ago with a fertility specialist and she said even though a lot of women get pregnant straight after a coil removal, it can take up to six months for the lining to build back up and everything to settle. I’ve hit that six month period and this is the first cycle where I’ve had really strong ovulation symptoms, so I really hope it happens soon 🤞🏼

Lookingtogrowthefamily · 23/04/2026 16:32

Ah that sounds positives @PandaLife Fingers crossed xx

DmcinT · 24/04/2026 20:21

@PandaLife how’d u get on after that yesterday?
I got high earlier today so I’d say could get peak tonight or tomorrow morning, knew it wasn’t far away with all the ewcm yest & today. I think I’ll switch my Sunday plan to tomorrow night when lo goes to bed as I’d say by Sunday it could be too late. that will be O -3 O-1 and O if ovulation is tomorrow. It’s in the hands of the gods then 😂🤞🏽🙏🏽 here we go last try to have a baby before I’m 42, accepting all prayers and candles lit lol

PandaLife · 24/04/2026 20:38

@DmcinT good luck. Hopefully you manage this evening :)

I am feeling a little deflated. He’ll hate me for saying this, but he sometimes struggles to keep it … and last night we ended up giving up. So we dtd Tuesday evening but haven’t since. My LH levels have dropped right down and are measuring 0.2. I had a lot of lower back pain and period-like pains last night so I’m assuming I ovulated last night. I feel Tuesday is a little late in the 5 day swimmer survival, so I’m not feeing hopeful :(

DmcinT · 24/04/2026 21:05

@PandaLife That is frustrating and has happened us once or twice too but a few things

  • Tuesday was prob O-2 which they say is actually ur most fertile day
  • if u ovulated last night/ overnight, the egg is viable for up to 24 hrs so today is deff still a chance, if u can dtd tonight :)

we dtd today after work - before picking lo up from childcare so please god that’s enough! Wednesday, Friday and all going well tomorrow night 🤞🏽 don’t think there’s much more we can do and OH has a night out Sunday so that’ll have to do.. then we wait

SKLM · 25/04/2026 07:53

@PandaLife if it helps, when I finally ovulated at day 36 we only had sex once on the day I got the peak. We were exhausted X

@DmcinT positive thoughts for you too.

I'm really hoping for you guys this month 😊

DmcinT · 25/04/2026 12:06

@SKLM 🥰❤️ thanks, it’s nice to have ppl rooting for u 🎉
I got peak this morning so I’d say I’ll ovulate today CD12 🥳 I should be due af then by May 8th which is great because I’ve a weekend away 9th and 10th so will be great to know either way by then! The benefit of ovulating a little earlier

actually @SKLM what happens now when u go to drs because they date u as 1st day of ur last period so ull come out as about 3 weeks ahead?

SKLM · 25/04/2026 21:09

I have my booking appointment in 2 and a bit weeks, I'm going to tell them I ovulated late or give them my lmp as two weeks ahead of what it actually was. Midwives actually called me after I put in the referral online, i'm going to have the same one that I had towards the end of my last pregnancy which is nice.

@DmcinT @PandaLife you are both ovulating early this month could be a good sign!

DmcinT · 25/04/2026 21:38

@SKLM Well we managed to dtd but DH had a football match this evening and managed to clash heads with someone, his eyebrow is pretty bad, he has paper stitches in it, came home just now to dtd and is away to a&e now to get it looked at properly 😂😂😂 dedication to the last try lol

aw that makes sense to just give a date 2 weeks before u ovulated because u know exactly when u ovulated. If u hadn’t have been so good with tracking lh u mightn’t actually know

SKLM · 26/04/2026 07:59

@DmcinT that is dedication! Surely this will be your month with this much effort. I hope he is okay 😂
