The previous OPs have gotten their BFPs so I have cheekily created this one just hoping that I could get lucky. Hahaha. 😅 Silly, right ?
A bit about me - currently trying to conceive baby No.2 and this is my 4th postpartum cycle.
So I wish everyone good luck and lots of baby dust! 🤞

@ByAquaFoxI think I see a shadow there if I zoom in. I’ve noticed easy at home for me seem to work best with the afternoon urine so maybe give it another try it you have spare ones. 🤞

ByAquaFox · 03/06/2026 09:06

@Youabsolutelygotthis thats a good progression. What's the progression like with the e@h ones? Compared to cb?

ByAquaFox · 03/06/2026 09:10

@Youabsolutelygotthis ahhh I have work in an hour and I work full speed for 3 and half hours so perfect time to distract myself from needing a wee and not to drink much haha!

Youabsolutelygotthis · 03/06/2026 09:21

@ByAquaFoxI threw the easy at home away because they were stressing me out. Barely a difference there but then I get an obvious progression on Clearblue. I have run out of easy at home now as well.

ByAquaFox · 03/06/2026 09:27

@Youabsolutelygotthis am i best buying a different brand to test with do you think ?

Youabsolutelygotthis · 03/06/2026 09:29

@ByAquaFoxI’d recommend First response or Clearblue ultra early advanced. They aren’t as cheap but I just stress a lot more testing with the easy at home strips.

ByAquaFox · 03/06/2026 09:31

Okay ill go and buy one of them! Eeek! I'll update later on :)

Hey all I’m 3dpo today anyone the same trying to keep my mind off it but really struggling

Hey! So I had lots of tests done a few years ago when I was TTC the first time around and everything was ‘normal’. I had several chemical pregnancies, and then cycle 10 conceived my daughter who is now 2.
I have mild PCOS, other than that unexplained I guess…. Maybe age, as now 40! (Feel 30 still 🤣).
only thing I did differently the month I fell pregnant with my daughter is reflexology & acupunture, which I’ve just started up again now.
Had blood tests again recently and all normal for progesterone etc. x

Sorry to hear about your chemicals! Did the GP agree to tests when you had been trying for 6 months the first time? Im a bit nervous of making the appointment and then them saying - what are you doing here, you need to have been trying for a year!”

Good that all your tests are looking good though. Do you have long cycles due to the PCOS?

Interesting to hear about the reflexology and acupuncture! Was thinking of booking myself in for acupuncture if I can find someone locally. Currently raking myo-inositol for the PCOS but not tried anything else yet.

Hi! I think I’m 4dpo so very similar. Not entirely sure though as didnt get a true peak on the ovulation tests, only 0.93. So currently my pee on a stick addiction is being solved by keeping on using LH tests to make sure it’s not rising again and I actually haven’t ovulated 😂
Sorry to hear you are struggling. How many cycles have you been trying for now?

SantiagoSister · 03/06/2026 13:01

CD10 here today and got my first ‘high’ reading on the fertility monitor so oestrogen is on the up. Going to DTD tomorrow (unable to tonight) and Saturday, hoping to get my peak around the weekend and DTD that day too. Wishing you all lots of luck for this cycle! ✨

I started taking Myo Inisitol too, although I have regular cycles and don’t really have any of the PCOS markers, other than my consultant scanned me and said I had some cysts, so more mild. Do you think it’s helping you?
I went privately, only because she was my gynae too and I wanted answers faster. I would definitely not hesitate to speak to your GP though, ask for some basic blood tests & they should do those straight away.
I was referred to recurrent miscarriage via NHS, they also did tests that were all clear and said to keep trying!x

My test this afternoon. Mr ai says it can see the faint line.

Hard to see as uploading ruins the picture quality 😩 hoping it darkens for you over the next few days 🤞🏼

ByAquaFox · 04/06/2026 07:31

How is everyone today?

Nausea has been horrendous this morning to the point I was gagging. Period should be tomorrow but we will see. Test still negative

Period still not here, strange lack of all symptoms - just want to start next cycle now. I did see a tiny faint line on your picture yesterday, has there been any progression?

ByAquaFox · 04/06/2026 08:13

Nooo progression it must've just been a shadow as its very dead today lol. I too just want to get a wiggle onto the next cycle but here I am stuck in limbo with symptoms but no positive and no period.

AndyBerrick84 · 04/06/2026 09:48

I've started testing today and there's a faint line on the OPK. We probably won't start trying until it gets a bit darker, but I'm thinking around day 10 (Saturday) we'll get down to business and then keep going over the following week.

Looking back, I think last month I waited until after the test peaked before we had sex, and we may have missed our best chance. I think I ovulate quite soon after or possibly even just before the peak, so I don't want to leave it too late this time.

ByAquaFox · 04/06/2026 14:34

I have started my opks as my app tells me too and this is mine...I havent even had a period yet.

TheUniqueMember · 04/06/2026 14:40

I'm going to be removing my birth control patch in the next week or two - then test with opk straight away.

They say it can take a while for a period to come back so fingers crossed I ovulate randomly!

I wish everyone well 🤞🏻

Your Lh is very low! Does yours normally rise before your period? I have seen this pattern with mine last cycle.

Also, I love it when apps lose the plot because they can’t deal with cycles going a bit odd. This cycle my app decided I must have ovulated on CD38 as had a slight Lh rise to 0.6. So it was busy telling me to test for pregnancy when I was getting EWCM and my LH was actually rising again 😂

Hope you get some answers soon about what’s happening!

ByAquaFox · 04/06/2026 15:46

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy it rises to ovulate yes but im cd23 but this is why in confused as to why the pre mom app is asking me to test with opks 🤣

Sounds like a good plan, it’s best to have the little swimmers there already waiting before you ovulate so you’ll be covered by starting Saturday 🤞🏼

I’m CD11 and starting to DTD tonight as I’ve got EWCM today. Then again Saturday, and probably Monday depending on if/when I get my peak reading on the monitor. Hoping that’ll be enough as we’re both shattered 😂

Maybe it's still trying to establish your pattern? Have you been using opk for awhile?
