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! 🤞

It’s so hard, isn’t it! Especially after a loss.

I’m around 6/7dpo today. My cramps were wild yesterday and I was convinced my period was coming today as I’ve had short luteal phases whilst my body settles after our 22 week twin loss but they stopped today and no sign of AF, which I’ll take!

Keep thinking positive! xxx

Oh honey, I'm so sorry about your loss. Well, I guess we're in the run till AF shows! Fingers crossed. ❤️❤️

I caved after swearing I wouldn’t! I think the bleeding 2 days ago threw me off because I thought if it was implantation bleeding, I’d likely be producing the HcG now, but BFN. I’m pretty sure this isn’t my cycle. Period is due Friday so there’s still a chance, but I have 0 symptoms and BBT is dropping, and the bleeding couldn’t have been implantation. I have a feeling I have low progesterone but I had a blood test last week so I should hopefully get the answers soon.

Oh, I’m sorry! How many dpo are you now?

My temp dipped a lot today! By like almost 0.2 - gone from 36,72 to 36.55.

Will just have to wait and see! Do you take any supplements? xxx

I’ve been taking the pregnacare conception vitamins but that’s it.
My temp went up this morning but it’s still well below the BBT spike I originally had.

This morning I had quite a bit of fresh red blood. Not my period as it’s stopped again now. All the spotting before period just makes my head spiral worrying it’s an abnormality.

When are you planning to test? I’m 8DPO today on the assumption I ovulated 24 hours after my LH peak. Possible I could be 7 or 9 if ovulation was earlier/later though. I’m not remotely hopeful

It’s awful when things feel abnormal. Because of my pre-period spotting and short luteal phases, I’ve been taking Novomins Zinc/Magnesium/B6 on an evening and their Inositol with folic acid and vitamin D in a morning. It seems to have helped stabilise things. I took the inositol before getting pregnant with our twin boys as I wasn’t ovulating and I honestly think it helped as I had it for one month then I was pregnant!

I am going to try hold out until Wednesday as then I’ll be 11dpo (or 10). I tested positive at 9dpo last time but that was with twins so my HCG was through the roof. I got a dye stealer at 16dpo!

Keep me updated 🩷🩷💫

For some reason I’ve just tested again, and I think there’s a line so I’ve tested again and there’s a line again but they’re so faint. Do you think these are evap lines?

I’ve just done a clear blue.

OMG! That is a positive right there. WAHOOO!

I’ve had some spotting (as usual) and mild cramps so I think I’m out.

Honestly I thought I was out! Especially after this mornings bleed! But it just goes to show you’re not out until AF comes.

It’s too early to get excited yet but I’ve confirmed it with a digital. I’ve got several different tests and they’re all 10MLU or whatever it is, 6 days early detection but some are still stark negative whilst others are positive, so I will continue testing now morning and evening to see if it progresses!

I’m really happy for you.

AF has officially started for me. Might have to go to the GP as it shouldn’t start for another 6 days so something must be up.

Thank you. I’m going to keep testing and see if it progresses cause I’m petrified of a chemical with the bleeding I’ve experienced.

Definitely go speak to a GP. I thought mine wouldn’t be helpful because everyone says you’ve got to have been trying for 12+ months but because I had symptoms that were abnormal such as bleeding early etc. they agreed to do tests

I had some bright red blood earlier but it was like mixed with discharge (sorry, tmi)! Now, it has virtually stopped and is only light pink when wiping.

I’m not hopeful as this is what has happened and it usually turns into full flow.

Will see what my BBT is like tomorrow!

That is the second BFP ❤ Congratulations and I hope your line gets darker and fingers crossed for you to have a successful pregnancy!

Today is CD8. I feel refreshed and excited after a week of good rest ( AF lasted for 7 days as expected). For this cycle (the 5th postpartum cycle), I look forward to having either a BFP or a 11/12 day luteal phase. I can tell my body is returning to normal gradually after every cycle which makes me so happy and hopeful. I will dtd every day. Also I will be measuring CBT, using LH strips and Clearblue advanced fertility monitor. 😁I wish I could share this positive energy with everyone here.

I’ve had some spotting start today, so thinking tomorrow could be CD1 for me, the start of my first cycle of TTC again. I feel a bit nervous about it all to be honest, mixed with excitement. I’ve put batteries in the faithful Clearblue Advanced Fertility Monitor tonight in preparation!

OMGG Congratulations!!!!!

Thats very clearly positive - a lot of people do say the cycle they fell pregnant they didn’t feel many symptoms. Fingers crossed for a sticky bean!!

congrats @Poppybloom55

CD5 here and feeling so down after my chemical. The lines were so dark on my original tests (comparable to 16/17 DPO) with my son and I had so much hope. I feel very flat

AF arrived fully for me this morning with a plummet of 0.5 degrees with my BBT.

Have contacted my pre-term consultant to ask about possible progesterone supplements.

On to the next cycle! We’ve got this, ladies 💪🏻

CD1 here too, we can be cycle buddies 🌈🤍🤍

Hopefully you can try some progesterone for this cycle, sounds like it could be really helpful for you.

Would love to be cycle buddies! 🌈 💜

The consultant came back to say he’s pleased to see that my BBT does suggest ovulation is happening and to just wait a few more months for things to settle after our loss.

The waiting for things to settle is hard so I’ve had a good cry! All I want is to bring a baby home and the fact we were so close and then they were gone is making it 1000000% harder for me! I’m feeling so sad but must stay positive! 💫

I completely get it, the longing for a baby after loss is so strong, and all consuming. It’s honestly all I could think about afterwards, once we’d made the decision to try again. It’s hard to stay positive. I had convinced myself that there was genuinely a chance that we might not ever be able to bring a baby home. It really does take you a hold of you, so if there is any way you can try to keep positive it will certainly help. It happened for me so it can happen for you 🌈

As much as it’s painful to hear that you will have to wait a few more months for things to settle before trying the progesterone, you never know, this cycle could be the one where your hormones have perfectly rebalanced and it’ll happen. I’m keeping everything crossed for you ✨

My BBT has a clear elevation this cycle, whereas last time, it was all over the place and my luteal phase has lengthened by 1 day so I shall just have to focus on that.

Sorry for not remembering if you’ve said but how long ago was your loss? How long did it take you to conceive after?

I am hoping you get your next baby soon! 💜

What day do you normally ovulate?

It’s all going in the right direction for you 🤞🏼

No problem, I lost my son in 2021 (it still feels like yesterday). We waited a few months before we felt like we could try again, and I was so lucky to fall pregnant on the first try with my rainbow. A genuine little miracle as I have quite bad endometriosis and I was so worried I would struggle to conceive.

I’m worried again now as I’m having odd symptoms and I’m not sure if it’s either perimenopause or my endometriosis getting worse, either isn’t great for my chances of conceiving so it’s definitely something playing on my mind. But I guess I won’t know until I try 🙏🏻
