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! 🤞

@SantiagoSister Just to ask, did you track at all using OPKs or BBT? I didn’t know whether to stop temping when ovulation is confirmed to avoid stressing!

Thank you, I look forward to hearing when you get your BFP ❤️

Wow, this last month or so must be really tough for you with your due date and your friends baby to contend with too. You’re really going through it. Definitely agree your nervous system must’ve been on high alert, I’m glad you feel a little better now and hopefully that will put you in a good place for TTC. That’s lovely you’re back to work now, I was dreading going back but I actually found it really helped take my mind off things a bit. I’m glad you’re enjoying slowly getting back into it.

I tracked using the Clearblue Advanced Fertility Monitor, but didn’t track any further once I found my peak, just kept my fingers crossed and tried to find distractions during the TWW. I was lucky to have a faint line on a cheapie test at 9DPO, so thankfully didn’t have to wait until AF was due to find out!

Hoping someone here can help me….

I usually get my peak early morning on day 13 and as predicted that did indeed happen this cycle too, however, I usually get a few high readings, then a super high peak (last months was 2.17), but this cycle I was having lows on cycle day 12 (0.6) then on cycle day 13 I got a positive at 1.0 and then for the rest of cycle day 13 and throughout cycle day 14, the readings were low again. The Premom app recorded the 1.0 as my peak. I was a bit concerned that it wasn’t has high, but the other symptoms seemed to back it up (mucus, cramps etc.)

Anyway this is my first cycle also tracking my BBT and I’ve taken it first thing every morning. On the assumption I ovulated within 24 hours of my peak, today would be the first day I should see the rise in BBT and instead it’s completely tanked. It’s actually my lowest reading yet and at 35.36, it’s so low it doesn’t even make the graph!!

This would mean ovulation wasn’t successful?

The BBT usually drops before Ovulation and it usually happens at the same time when you get the peak. Then BBT rises again the next day. I hope that helps.

I am also trying to track BBT and it’s so confusing! I had my peak yesterday and my temp sky rocketed and then has also dropped today!

Have you got a pic of your chart?

I think I’ve added a photo? You can see my BBT is pretty erratic since I first started recording it. I have a toddler and he wakes me several times a night so I’m not sure if that’s making it skew, but it started rising yesterday and today it’s absolutely tanked and I’m also concerned the peak just wasn’t very high

Just to add I’ve taken a further LH test and it’s now 0.21 so it’s dropping, despite it looking on the chart like it was rising again. Literally so confused I feel like I’m entering my TWW with no real sign that I actually even ovulated so feel defeated

@Poppybloom55
From this, it looks like you could have ovulated around cycle day 13 to me. There is something called a fall back rise which happens 2-3 days after ovulation. I had it last cycle! Just keep temping to see what happens!

This is my chart today - I had a dark opk yesterday afternoon so not sure if I’ve actually ovulated or not.

Hoping my luteal phase improves this cycle - or better yet, get that BFP!

I am totally with you on this! When my temp dropped today, I felt exactly the same. Some charts are messy though so let’s not give up hope! 💫

Hi all,

Just wanted to ask as I’m a little confused. I’ve just started tracking LH for the first time, yesterday was CD12 and I’m CD13 now. The test line was extremely faint, barely even noticeable yesterday but I’ve started to get EWCM. My cycles are normally 31-32 days so does that mean that I’m still nowhere near ovulation?

Thanks!

That means you have just entered the fertile window as the estrogen level is increasing. Usually this lasts for up to 5/6 days until you ovulate. This is what happened to me last cycle.

Just a quick update - AF arrived yesterday morning and I finally started to sleep well. My luteal phase lasted 1 day longer than the previous cycle, hooray! That makes this one the 5th postpartum cycle, currently feeling hopeful and looking forward to good sleep until the end of my period. 😁

So this exact thing happened to me today! My temps have been around 36.2, rose to almost 36.5 the day I was due to ovulate and then have plummeted to 36.19. It could be the fallback rise but who knows.

Did your temp go back up? xx

It did so it has shot up today, and today would make me 2DPO so maybe it was just a bit of a lag, I’m not too sure! I’m still getting EWCM though which I’d have expected to dry up by now, LH is 0.11 so it’s a bit all over the place. I’m not feeling hopeful

I’d either be 1 or 2dpo, too!! My CM has started drying up! I’m hoping my temp rises tomorrow. 🤞🏻

Keep temping and let me know how you get on! It’s nice to have someone with similar temps and things. Doesn’t make me feel so alone!

My temp increased again today so I think maybe I did ovulate! If it remains high again tomorrow then that’s 3 consecutive days so fingers crossed. How did you get on?

Oh yay! I’m so pleased for you! 🥰

Mine shot up today (went from
36.14 to 36.61) so feeling hopeful. I use natural cycles and it predicted ovulation on the 23rd so I may be like 2 dpo? Last month, my BBT dipped on ovulation day and then rose so who knows - I could have ovulated in the early hours of yesterday morning as that would have been 36 hours from my peak, which would explain the plummet in temperature. Either way, it’s a good sign it’s gone up.

Hope it goes up again for you tomorrow! Xx

Positives at 9 and 10DPO for me, BFN 11DPO so looks like I’ve had an early chemical

I’m so sorry @HappyBlueDonkey thats heartbreaking.

Sending lots of 💐💐

Does this look like a LH surge? When it peaks do we DTD as that’s our most fertile?

We DTD last night so I’m just wondering what this means for ovulation - I thought that as my cycle was longer it would be longer before I got the surge but I guess CD14 isn’t that much fluctuation for a 31-32 day cycle.

This defo looks like a surge to me! Ovulation is anywhere from 12-36 hours after your first positive so I’d guess ovulation to be any time from this afternoon to early hours of Thursday morning so I’d DTD today and tomorrow! However, some women can ovulate 2-3 days after their surge. Are you tracking BBT?

Good luck 🤞🏻 💫

I had my third day of an increased BBT so I think I’ve now confirmed I did in fact ovulate. Perhaps a day later than expected given the early dip I had. How are you getting on?

Yay! This is good news for you. My temp has also stayed up (and gone up ever so slightly) so I also think I have. I’m going to temp again tomorrow to confirm then keep temping but just not log my data (I use a wearable and sync it each morning) as I think this will keep the anxiety down. Going off this, I think I am 4dpo today. What about you? Xx

So sorry to hear this! It must be so hard.

Sending so much love 🌺
