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! 🤞

Do you know what, I’m feeling the exact same as you describe now…. This afternoon had some light pulling cramps, very faint, in my lower back on each side. Then thought I was imagining it, then it happened again but nothing since. I’m DPO 5 today.
DPO8 is very early to get even the faintest positive, give it another couple of days if you can.xx

All good signs!!!! I mean the symptoms are driving me up the wall and seem to have developed nausea and further soreness of boobs too as well as a niggling back ache.

I know about the testing it’s just so hard to resist! I actually just took one now…

What do we think ladies - BFP or not? The second line is far to the left and the test looks weird but the test line appeared just seconds after the control line so I’m hoping. This is the same test under different lighting.

I see it! The first test is clearer, and I don’t mean the far left line the rest line is there very very faintly! Have you been sleeping ok? I’ve been having vivid dreams and waking up. But again I do get that in luteal phase sometimes too

I normally get vivid dreams but I’ve been getting up at crazy hours needing the bathroom - have woken up with nausea today.

I’m trying to stay calm right now, I want a clearer line before I tell DH.

Are you still getting the pulling/pinching? My main symptoms have been the pinching cramps and the boob soreness which has now progressed to both sides pretty constantly whereas before it was mainly the left every so often. What DPO are you on now?

I don’t track BBT but have been feeling very warm overnight too - had no issue sleeping in the heatwave the last few nights so this is a new one for me.

I see it!! 🤞🏼

I’m just starting the TWW, DPO 2. I used ovulation strips for first time to catch my peak, which was later in my cycle than I expected, so hoping I have improved my timing 😊

Will try and keep myself busy with work over the next couple of weeks! First time TTC so no idea what symptoms to look out for, and I didn’t feel ovulation (if it happened). I don’t usually get any ahead of my period either other than cramps / the heavy feeling when I know it will start.

Why do I feel so nauseous today! Im supposed to be 6dpo so not like majorly in to the tww but gosh its awful!
And the tiredness. I slept averagely okay, woke a few times for a wee but other than that okay but im already wanting to nap

Trying so hard not to get too excited!

Anyone got any good idea about my Lh tests? I thought maybe I ovulated on Monday, after high of 0.7 on Saturday and potential ovulation pain. But my Lh hasn’t gone back down, it’s been really up and down and now has shot up to 0.93 this morning! Im so confused 😩 am I still to ovulate do you reckon?

Think I have attach photo now?

It’s so hard not to though isn’t it! Keeping fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

It looks like maybe you tried to ovulate earlier but are having a second peak? That sometimes happens when the first peak isn’t enough to trigger ovulation - if this is the highest peak you’ve got I’d take it that you’re ovulating in 24/48 hours.

@DancingThroughLife02 Thanks! Im so tired of thinking “this is it” and dtd lots only to find it was pointless!! Also, super inconvenient as at my in laws house for the next 3 days! Oh well, here we go again

And fingers crossed for your line to progress! 🤞 are you doing to digital tomorrow?

Hi all, I’d like to join 👋 I’m on month 1 of TTC baby #2. Currently around 6dpo not many symptoms at all today. I had a few twinges here and there the last couple of days but not feeling very confident this is our month.

@Youabsolutelygotthis I am too 6dpo not many symptoms at all bar tiredness but I also think im low on iron so thats probably what that is lol. I had my mirena coil out on 13th may.

@ByAquaFoxIt’s so hard to know what’s an actual symptom or something else. I stopped breastfeeding beginning of May so this was the first time I ovulated in 12 months. Let’s see what happens, good luck to us both!!

Do you plan to test before period or wait for it not to arrive xx

@ByAquaFoxI don’t think I’ll be able to wait. I’ll probably start at 9 dpo. What about you?

Any updates hun, did you test again this morning? How long have you been TTC again did you say, is it 12 months? I haven’t had anymore symptoms and feeling a bit 😔

@Youabsolutelygotthis knowing me ill start testing around 10dpo if I make it that far not too 🤣

Did you have contraception before starting ttc? With my coil i don't expect to fall this month.

@ByAquaFoxsame here 🤣

No contraception but I was exclusively breastfeeding my son so I had no periods until this one. I tracked my ovulation using LH strips and had a peak. Did you track this month?

I’ve just checked now - two FRER tests stark white so am a little bit confused now. I was sure that at 10DPO the line should have been the same or darker but I’ll check once more tomorrow and write it off I think.

We’ve not been trying for long and this was our first cycle tracking so I know that it was too much to hope for it to have already worked but am seriously confused about the symptoms now.

Sorry to hear your symptoms are going - the TWW is so cruel 💐

It’s as if both of the tests had annoying indents on the plastic right over where the test line should be too - so silly.

Sorry ladies for the TMI question but I am 10dpo and have absolutely no cervical mucus whatsoever. Can anyone confirm if they had a bfp with this or is it usually an increase leading up to a positive pregnancy test? I can't remember what it was like with my son but think I had SOME. Thanks, I am too scared to test for another few days as dont want to feel the disappointment 😞
