So this cycle is playing with my head 🥲 my FMU this morning showed BFN… anyone experienced implantation dips? Do I just need to wait it out?

I’m shocked, it took us many, many months to conceive our first. Sorry to be that annoying person on these threads ❤️

Morning everyone! My period arrived right on time again this month, so I'm officially starting cycle 8.
I'm currently on cycle day 5 and will start ovulation testing on cycle day 10 when my fertile window opens. I seem to consistently get my peak around days 12–13, so the plan is to have sex every other day until day 16, assuming my partner can keep up! 😅

Who else is trying this June, and what cycle are you on? Is anyone else feeling hopeful that this could be their month?

Also, how often are you having sex during your fertile window?

P.S. Huge congratulations to everyone who's gotten their positive test recently! 🎉

Good morning!
I am starting my first cycle of TTC No.2 this month, have started using the Clearblue monitor and it’s still showing low at the moment (CD8). I plan to wait until it reads high then have sex every other day until peak 🤞🏼 you sound like you have a good plan in place for this month, wishing you lots of luck! ✨

Thank you! How long did it take you to conceive your first?
Good luck, fingers crossed for both of us. I'm still optimistic each month, but at the same time, I don't know if it'll actually happen, or if I'll even believe it when it does.
I get such strong PMS symptoms that I always know exactly when my period is about to arrive, so it's usually an early disappointment. I know I'm out before my period even starts, which makes it even harder 😭

Thank you 😊
We were so lucky and managed to conceive first time, but I am a fair bit older now and also showing some peri-menopausal signs so I’m highly doubting that will happen again this time. Feel like I’m potentially in it for the long haul. That must be so hard for you knowing you’re out well in advance, it’s hard to keep any hope for that cycle alive when it’s like that 😩 really wishing you lots of luck for this cycle 🙏🏻

HappyBlueDonkey · 01/06/2026 23:57

good luck @AndyBerrick84
we will have sex every other day the whole month and then the 3 days before ovulation, day of and day after. We had sex every day for a month and conceived first time with my first and had sex every day last month and had a chemical

Good luck everyone for June. We are taking a month off TTC. My AF came dead on at 14dpo which was such positive signs for my cycle, but at 12dpo I was unfortunately in hospital with severe dehydration and stomach bug, which has massively set my body back. So taking it as a sign to have a month or two off, and trying to rebuild energy.

Hope everyone gets their positives this month!

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 02/06/2026 11:28

Sorry to hear about your hospital admission @Glittertint !! That sounds awful. Definitely take a month to recover ❤️ hope you feel better soon

Sorry to hear that, I hope you are on the mend very soon

Saffie920 · 02/06/2026 11:31

We are trying for our second for the first time this month! Currently CD11 - I usually ovulate roughly CD16 or 17 (long-ish cycles) but not sure if it will be that way this month as my body might still be adjusting to coming off the pill. Don’t think we will have energy for DTD every day what with having a toddler as well 😅 but going to focus our efforts to this week! Also have the in laws staying for three nights over my fertile window which is less than ideal haha

DancingThroughLife02 · 02/06/2026 13:48

I feel like I’m clutching at straws, probably out this cycle - does anyone actually see something on these? Not FMU.
