Thanks for the new thread ☺️ x

Hey hey. 2dpo for me I think. Here we go again

MumOf3amazingkids · 23/04/2026 17:55

3dpo today as well. I have had the weirdest breast pain since 1dpo this cycle and thick yellowish CM each time I wipe which is totally new. I only ever get breast pain a few days to AF. I'm really positive about this cycle. I will test at 10dpo.

ShivWesker · 23/04/2026 19:42

7dpo as I said in the last thread, cramps been happening ever since O. Figured out my cervix is always high so I’m stopping tracking cervical position. Opks are vv faint now. Can’t take any tests until Monday/Tuesday as that’s when I get paid. Never been so excited to get my wages ahaha. I’ll be 11/12DPO by then so I’ll know with a FRER. Fingers crossed for us all that this is our cycle!! 🫶🫶🫶

I think I’ve also figured out that I have fibrocystic breasts, mostly my left one so it makes tracking breast tenderness difficult as that one always hurts.

Hi all, joining this thread as waiting for AF to arrive next month and then we will be TTC no.2 🙏🏻 good luck to all those waiting to test!

Glittertint · 23/04/2026 20:56

1dpo for me 🙏

ThisHangryTiger · 23/04/2026 21:07

Cd1 for me. Here we go again 😩 (x19)

LucyCL · 23/04/2026 21:30

I will join this one as well. Good luck everyone!🤞

LucyCL · 23/04/2026 21:58

To be honest, I feel more relaxed and I even sleep better during my period. I don’t have to think about ttc that much because there is nothing I can do at this stage. Now it is about to end, I will be back in action. Maybe AF is a blessing in disguise. 🙃

Hey everyone, 6DPO for me today, but I’m pretty sure it won’t happen this month

PinkLemonade44 · 24/04/2026 10:54

New here - going to start trying next month and feel so much pressure as all my friends are pregnant and most were so lucky getting pregnant first time. How do you relax and try not to stress?

siobhie · 24/04/2026 11:15

Cycle day 6..im having a hycosy on Monday cycle day 9. I had an PUL December 2025 ended in miscarriage and ectopic in January 2026 which naturally resolved. Haven’t got pregnant since. Hoping this might have a therapeutic effect and clear and gunk in tubes if there’s any or I can see if there’s any blockages. I also bought a fertility cup to try this cycle! Trying to feel hopeful it’s hard out here girls. 8 months in TTC baby number 2

MochaLove · 24/04/2026 14:17

Hi everyone, joining too! 9dpo for me today. I know 9dpo is the most common implantation day but I don’t feel very hopeful this cycle. However we did have a month off of trying last month which I almost felt reset me and I have felt so much calmer as it was really starting to get me down. We are 6 months into TTC baby number 2.

Redheadx · 24/04/2026 19:18

I am 6 dpo-12 Dpo, I don’t track as it causes me so much stress. Had 2 months off trying for baby number 2. I have a feeling this is the month, I feel so crampy sore and the tiredness is outrageous

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 25/04/2026 10:01

Hopping over from the other thread! I’m only on CD8 so not expecting anything exciting to happen yet but thought I’d join!

4th cycle TTC DC#3, but I’ve got PCOS so long irregular cycles!

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 25/04/2026 10:11

@PinkLemonade44 Its very difficult not to stress 😩 some people find tracking ovulation helps, others find it makes it more stressful and prefer to dtd every other day to cover all eventualities! I track using Lh tests which helps me as then I know roughly when I ovulated and then only test from 10dpo as that was when I tested positive last time! But TTC is definitely stressful 😩

@siobhie Sorry to hear about the PUL and ectopic pregnancy. That sounds really tough. 🤞 the hycosy helps you. On the last thread someone had a hycosy and then ovulated the day after and it worked! Hoping for the same for you!

@MochaLove It is really tough having negative tests month after month. Sorry to hear it was affecting you so badly. Im only 5 months in but so so ready to be pregnant! Every time I get to 10 dpo and it’s a negative I then eat endless chocolate to try to cheer myself up until AF arrives! Not the healthiest coping strategy 😬 fingers crossed this is our month!

HopefulLeopard · 25/04/2026 19:04

Thanks for the new thread @ShivWesker

I’m 7dpo today and seriously need talking down from taking a test tomorrow at 8dpo. I know it’s too early but I really can’t shake the urge to do one! Please someone talk me out of it.

Do you have quite a few of them? If so, one isn’t going to hurt ;) I’m a bad influence 😂😂🫶🫶

I’m 3-4dpo, not certain now as I don’t test and I’ve got really sore boobs 😬 and proper thick creamy CM and I’m really constipated which I suspect all means I’ve got high progesterone. I’ve decided im going to test this month on Friday when I’d be around 10dpo as I am going on a hen do that evening so sort of want to know ahead of that so it doesn’t eat up my brain with “what if I am” but I can’t test!

I have two cheapies left. Which realistically probably wouldn’t be enough to reassure me if I did test positive on a more sensible day so I’d end up buying some more anyway… so I suppose no real difference if I use one of them tomorrow and then order some more… 🤷‍♀️

All sounds promising! Good luck and hopefully Friday comes round quickly for you 🤞🏼 the TWW can feel like forever especially when you’re having symptoms.

Hi everyone, first time posting. We are TTC #2 for 3 months so far, using the Premom LH strips and also the digital clear blue ovulation tests. I think when I ovulate my LH is a very quick rise and fall. I didn’t catch this on LH strips last month but did get the static smile on clearblue. I had what I think was a chemical pregnancy last month. Unfortunately this meant I started bleeding sooner and longer so I have no idea what cycle day I am on, and neither do my apps 😂 I’m currently still low on LH strips, but have had some EWCM today. I’ve got a flashing smiley on the clearblue strips but not convinced they’re not a scam as I accidentally used the testing unit from a previous box and it registered as not fertile… no idea what’s going on this month. Wishing everyone luck for this month! X

Ash2345f · Yesterday 21:44

Joining the thread for this cycle i think im around 5 DPO ran out of LH tests so not entirely sure! Really hoping this month is our month fingers crossed everyone’s gets their positives ! X

Glittertint · Today 06:19

This is unusual for me but I’m around 6-7dpo as I think I actually ovulated CD13/14 and I’m CD20 today but my temp has really dropped? Anyone had experience of this?
