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! 🤞

Hey all, hoping you're well. 7dpo today and looking sculpted with no insanely sore breasts and big inflamed looking tummy/absence of water weight (usually I have this)

Got a positive LH test so I am hoping ovulation was successful... And that there's nothing funny going on with my progesterone :/

I have adenomyosis and this is cycle 4 of trying with tests etc but realistically have been trying since Sept. 32 and partner 37.

🤞🏻🤞🏻

Would people suggest testing twice a day now ? Or see how tomorrow's test is ?

@lm1986 I reckon I’m 9dpo.
AF type cramps this afternoon, hoping this is the little button implanting & they start the HCG business real soon. This is the longest tww ever!
Everyones annoying me too. 😅

What’s your normal baseline? Mine is 0.3-0.4 at this point I’d still be a week away from ovulation

ByAquaFox · 21/06/2026 15:27

@HappyBlueDonkey I'm not sure what mines is tbh

Congratulations @SantiagoSister this is so exciting!!

Thank you so much ❤️ I’m anxious but really hoping everything works out 🙏🏻

Well the rise must have been related to the bleeding. I dont think I've ever felt so happy to see bleeding. Since having the mirena out that cycle made me cd40 yday so back to cd1 and onto the next cycle!!! Do I start ovulation tests now? Or do I wait for bleeding to stop first?

Baby3PraiseBe · 22/06/2026 07:23

Woke up at 3am… all excited to test.
Pretty sure I’m 10dpo today….. and BFN! 😓

I’m now having a pity party & refusing to buy any more tests. Need caffeine on a drip today…. x

lm1986 · 22/06/2026 07:24

Exactly the same as me, I feel your pain i was so confident too!!

@lm1986 the only positive I’m taking from this, if it’s a negative and AF shows by Friday, is that I weighed myself this morning and lost 1lb last week, I usually put on 2lb in PMS week!! Plus my PMS boobs are more manageable, it’s like a free boob job minus the blue vein malarkey!
My cup is still half full….. all the symptoms are still there. Just no BFP to confirm it.
It was 14 yrs ago but I’m sure I didn’t get a BFP till 13dpo so I have a grain of hope in my back pocket.

lm1986 · 22/06/2026 07:45

I have never known when I ovulated before in previous pregnancies this is the first time ive done it so I have no clue, I have turned into a crazy woman tbh 😂

AndyBerrick84 · 22/06/2026 09:07

How’s everyone doing? Looks like I’m moving on to cycle 9 so will head over to the July thread. Period arrived bang on time again. Feel a bit blah as we gave it a good go this month and hit all the peak days 🙄

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 22/06/2026 09:55

@AndyBerrick84 Sorry to hear your period has arrived. It’s so frustrating when you do everything right and it still doesn’t work. Really hope next cycle is your cycle!

I’m on CD66 and no sign of my period. This is the longest it’s been absent for at least 6 years (minus pregnancy/ breastfeeding). I’ve had up to 60 day cycles but not beyond that (normally 45-55 days) Think I’m going to have to go to the GP next week and see if they will prescribe something to induce a bleed as it can’t be good to go without a period for so long? Has anyone had this before?

Glad your missing period has returned! Hopefully you have a more normal cycle this time around. I’d wait until after the bleeding has stopped to start testing, unless you normally have really short cycles, like 22 days and so ovulate really soon after your period.

66 days when your usual range is 45–55 days is definitely worth following up, especially if it's the longest gap you've had in years. Do you have PCOS? Hopefully you can get some answers!

I’ve just got my positive OPK this morning day 19 which is late for me. Does anyone know if earlier or later ovulation has any success on conceiving? Also how do I find the July thread? I wonder if it’s ever going to happen for me!

I honestly don't think it makes much difference, you just need a good egg, good sperm waiting at the right time, and for all the stars to align so it develops into an embryo and successfully implants. There are so many things that have to go right along the way. It's amazing it happens as often as it does, just difficult as you have no control over it

Yes, I do have PCOS. It’s so difficult that my cycle has decided to go AWOL now, when I’m TTC! So frustrating.

HappyBlueDonkey · 22/06/2026 16:54

Definitely get that checked out @HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy

6dpo here and already feel out 😩

FlyingHighFlyingLow · 22/06/2026 19:01

Joining if thats OK!

Cycle 2 of ttc #2.

Cycle 1 ovulated later than usual, CD18 (usually 16). This month tbh has been a shit show. Usually 32 day cycles. Had to go away for an event with in laws, sharing a bathroom so couldn't start LH testing until CD14 when back and got a 0.7. Dropped and then didn't go back up, then had to stop testing as went to another event on CD20 (was also very low and couldn't be arsed to add to app!).

Come to conclusion I either didnt ovulate or ovulated early... DTD on CD 10 before leaving and CD14 when back (courtesy of sharing accommodation where shared bedroom with toddler and rest of house including bathroom with in laws). Don't think chances are high 😅

@Baby3PraiseBe another negative this morning, started getting quite alot of discharge last night today so I think period might be coming 😢

cmg91 · 23/06/2026 06:32

Very mixed feelings this morning.

Elevated temperatures still at 9dpo. Mild back ache. I’ve had heightened smell for a few days (but hayfever yesterday soon swiped that). Very light pink spotting this morning, but also a vvverrrryyyyy faint line on a test which I have filtered to make me not seem completely delulu!! 🤷🏼‍♀️

@lm1986 awww love, I feel your pain. I reckon I’m 10/11dpo today and just had another bfn this morning. I’m due AF on Friday and at this stage I wish she would just turn up, I’ve spent a fortune on tests and have all the symptoms, I’m loosing hope now.
Im not going to buy anymore tests, unless I have some other new specific symptom to add to my long list. Feeling sad and need an intervention from how much this consumes me 😪
Sending love xx

A faint line is a good sign, no? Still early days

Here it is in natural light. Just very cautious after my losses. This is the non filtered photo!
