TTC/TWW May June 2026

[LucyCL]

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! 🤞

I took a vitamin like this for DC1 and whilst it did lengthen my cycle I conceived very quickly on it. I think it lengthens them as it improves egg quality

@HappyBlueDonkey yeah I used to take pregnacare and conceive on that quickly but I think before those I was only on the pill where as now I've had the coil I feel different. I sound crazy lol.

Which tests are you using? Have you tried a FRER? As they say, you aren’t out until AF arrives so I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

I’m 4DPO today. My natural cycles app confirmed ovulation but feeling deflated and worried about progesterone as my temps aren’t having the classic “staircase” look! Hoping it rises again tomorrow! I have slight cramping but it’s waaaay too early for AF.

This evenings update (6 or 7 dpo).
My boobs are larger & tender - but not the PMS rocks I usually experience.
I feel wet but have no EWCM
Checked my cervix and I have clear white small dod of ewcm on my finger.
Left twinges are now gone and have had 2 small “twang” feelings in my uterus this evening.

Nothing else to report!
Delighted to see the faint lines begin to appear for you ladies, hoping I can follow this trend when it’s time to test.

Something I haven’t shared yet is, I’m almost 42 and I’m slightly worried about the 14yr age gap with my youngest, as mad as it sounds, people think at my age you start to get your life back with teenagers being independent but it’s made me crave a baby, I’m so desperate to do it all again. Life was harder in my 20’s and 30’s pregnant, I feel that if I get the chance to do this one more time I’d be the luckiest mum ever.

I can defo see lines @SummerOak !!

@Baby3PraiseBeThere is 20 years between myself and my youngest brother. I adored him.

I got a peak on my clear blue monitor and a solid smiley (didn’t have flashing this month) on the clear blue stick thing two evenings ago. Dtd that evening and will do again this evening. Hopefully that’ll do as it’s hard to find time to ourselves as it is without the pressure of the right days. I have a 2 and 3 year old who both co asleep so we have to time everything just right. I don’t know how many days dpo but had ovulation pain on one side yesterday so really hoping the timing works out!!

That’s all sounding positive, I had a lot of the same symptoms as you and I got a faint positive the evening of 8DPO. I had cramps from ovulation day the whole way through to now, which was unusual for me. Increased watery CM. Also felt twinges on 6 DPO in my womb. Biggest tell tale for me was my boobs/nipples were really sore from 6DPO, a different type of soreness to what I’ve ever had before. My friend conceived her first at 42 so I will be keeping everything crossed for you that you’ll get the chance to be a mummy again 🤞🏼

Woke up this morning at 5am, my alarm is 7am 😯I never wake before my alarm.
Feeling very warm. Temps defo up.
Immediately put the camera light on my phone and I have blue vein rings around my nips, they are really hot and look bigger, almost swollen (but not directly sore or tender).

My under arm odour is rank!!! 😂
Before goin to bed last night, and this morning, I checked my CP. It’s high closed and the best way to describe it is, feels puffy/squishy & soft.
Dry cm unless I check cervix.

Today is 7 or 8dpo….. driving myself mad & trying to hold off testing as my AF isn’t due till next Friday. I feel like this could be my month.

What test should I buy and when would be the earliest?

Positive vibes to all, it’s Friday & we made it through another crazy week!🤗

I am in TWW but I’ve got no symptoms 😭 however I am taking progesterone and I had an IUI.

@Baby3PraiseBe this all sounds positive to me! I wouldn't test before 10 dpo as you could easily get a false negative. No ide what dpo I was when I did my first test, but the line is way darker just 2 days after and there's no questioning it.

Hoping you get your BFP!

Hoping this is your month!! Just wanted to say hi as I’m 40 and TTC baby no.2. This will be cycle 15 for us 😭 not to disheartened you at all though because our first took 14 months so does seem to take longer for me for some unexplained reason. We’ve had the tests done and I was having some chemical pregnancies when we first started trying…. But nothing for a while! Hope it happens quickly for you xx

@Riverofhope aww bless, we can be cycle buddies together. I’ve been casually trying with little hope but this cycle just feels a bit different.
I hope it’s not the old peri meno I’m feeling 😅
Where are you in this cycle? x

Guess what @SummerOak i bought 2 early tests this morning and got a BFN. Keeping the 2nd test for Sunday when I should be 9/10dpo.
So tired this afternoon. Waking up at 5am has caught up with me 🙃x

How does this look? I'll keep testing it forgot to a few times. Ive stopped testing two times a day but when it gets a bit more darker I'll test twice to make sure I don't miss anything.

I’m on cycle day 16 I think and not ovulated yet, last month it was day 15. My cycles are usually 28-31 days though. Where abouts are you in yours?

@Riverofhope i’m 7 or 8 dpo. Got everything crossed for you x

Morning ladies, negative Nelly over here.
Used my second test that I should have kept for tomorrow and it’s BFN. I think im around 8dpo, I know it’s too early but it’s made me sad 😔
I’ve had a few sharp pings in the uterus area this morning, trying to remain positive.
Hope everyone is thriving and surviving x

@Baby3PraiseBe Dont worry about being a negative Nelly, it’s tough TTC! 8 dpo is still very early, I’ve never tested positive before 10dpo. Fingers crossed for you!

I’m now CD64 and no sign of a positive ovulation test or a period! A bit exhausted with the whole thing really

The sharp pings are a good sign, I always have that with implantation! And my implantation with my daughter happened DPO8 then I got a positive v v faint on DPO 10.

Good morning ladies in waiting….
I must be due this BFP soon, either that or I’m loosing the plot. I’ve added a full list of symptoms from the past week. I need to get myself another test today, I tested on Friday and Saturday and both was BFN. I reckon today I must be 9dpo.

• Left ovary pain for 3 days 4dpo to 7dpo
• Absent cm after ovulation, feel wet at times but nothing there.
• Unless I check my cervix there’s no cm
• Strong sense of smell 5dpo onwards
• Mood swings more than normal
• Swollen soft blue veiny boobs, usually PMS rocks
• Prominent veins running into nips
• Constantly hot
• Really whiffy arm odour
• Waking up at 5:30am from 5dpo-9dpo
• Cervix high from 5dpo, felt puffy from 7dpo

I need to get myself another test today, I tested on Friday and Saturday and both was BFN. I reckon today I must be 9dpo so I’m testing tomorrow morning and it better show me a BFP or I will take myself to the looney bin!!

I got my positive smiley on clear blue ovulation last Wednesday the 10th and still getting bfn on ultra early clearblue... am I out? I dont do any other tracking and although I have 3 older children I never really tracked with them, sounds silly but I actually nearly cried when it was a negative this morning x

@lm1986 how many dpo would you be? when is AF due? What symptoms you having? x

Congratulations @SantiagoSister this is so exciting!!

I’m 7dpo today! My BBT has dropped slightly over 2 days but it’s still above the cover line. My luteal phase has been 8 days long for the past 3 cycles so I am praying AF isn’t on her way!

@Baby3PraiseBe I dont know as I had a chemical pregnancy last month, I used the clear blue ovulation because of this! Symptom wise im tired hot and everybody is annoying me 😂😂
