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’ve heard that watery CM isn’t a bad thing with ttc.

Take this with a pinch of salt as this is from ChatGPT rather than genuine digging for information, but apparently if your CM is egg white/watery it means your oestrogen has increased. Forgive me if you’ve posted this earlier but have you been tracking to see if you’re getting LH surges?

Worth remembering that every woman is different too. I know you mentioned adenomyosis earlier too, which I’m sorry to hear about as I know how painful gynae conditions can be. I’m in the same boat with stage 4 endo 😢

Hi I’ve just started TTC and wondering if my LH surge seems right as it’s my first month testing. This is the darkest band I’ve got at CD16 - is this negative?
Tested today at CD17 and it’s much fainter so I can’t work out if I’ve had my surge or I’ve failed to ovulate this month.
I thought TTC would be fun but finding myself stressing out already!

That doesn’t look like a positive test to me, sorry. It has to be darker than the control line.

Are you testing twice a day? Some people have very quick peaks so you can miss it if you are only testing in the morning. Do you normally have a 28 day cycle or does it vary? Have you had any other signs of ovulation like EWCM?

I’d keep testing. Sometimes it does a little surge, and then goes back down again before the proper surge to trigger ovulation.

Sadly I thought that might be the case, thanks for confirming.

I haven’t no, that test was 9.30am yesterday, then faint line today at 3pm and no line at 7pm today. I’m really hoping I’ve just missed the surge between yesterday and today AM.

Ive had most of the symptoms other than no breast tenderness which is unusual. Although with the heatwave and DTD I’m not 100% confident it has been ovulation symptoms. Would you keep testing?

@IncaLily You could definitely have missed it, then, with 30 hours between tests. I normally test once a day, then twice a day when I start getting EWCM to improve my chances of catching my peak.

Maybe keep testing for a few days? See if your EWCM dries up? How long are your cycles normally? If they are very variable I’d keep testing longer, especially as you are just starting TTC and learning your ovulation patterns. If you are regular then you have probably ovulated, just missed the peak and can stop. Do you BBT test?

Thank you, AF starting today, yes I have been tracking LH I'm thinking of getting the One Step Health App Ovulation kit as well

I feel for you, I'm 32 and have adenomyosis so when AF arrives she is very painful which makes it quite a bit more distressing and disappointing
