TTC April/May 2026

[ShivWesker]

New thread as promised 🫶

Yes, I do use Lh tests. Though I have PCOS so never know when I’m going to ovulate even without the added complication of breastfeeding 😂 so the tests are very necessary! It’s not easy finding time to dtd as my DD still doesn’t sleep very well!

No we actually said if we hadn’t fallen pregnant that month we were going to go! I can’t fudge it as I had the coil so they’ll know when that was removed 😩 but thyroid issues run in my family so I’m going to push on that to get checked as in the last few months I’ve had odd symptoms like my eyebrow hair thinning out in a patch, my skin being drier and my cycles including the CP! So I’m going to push on that!

yeah I know it’s so frustrating as we do everything right and it never happens!! I guess it could be male factor? I think if I come back normal we’ll keep going for a bit longer before we explore that! Maybe peace of mind it’s not me it might help!

I am thank you! Work was a good distraction too!!

how’s your cycle going? X

Mine cosleeps but thankfully pram naps! So we’re DTD at odd times like DH lunch break but we’re managing every day (as tracking so confusing)

I didn’t end up testing last night as I got a tiny amount of pink discharge when I wiped - I thought it was the period starting but still hasn’t arrived so I have no idea what to think now - CD34 so at least 2 days late still with very sore boobs. I’ve got a gynaecology appointment tomorrow for my endo, just wondering if a BFP might show up by then on the off chance that it was implantation spotting yesterday..?

anyone on 8DPO? I have been in such a foul mood from last night to today I’m not sure if it’s also a little anxiety from testing. Like I said before this is our first time TTC in over a year after a MM 2024 and CM 2025. You quickly forget the emotions you go through on this journey 🤦‍♀️🫠🥲

AF arrived for me today so I’m having a sad day and then moving on! Wishing you all the best luck, hope to see some positives. Onto May/June for me, I’ve ordered some ovulation sticks to get a bit more specific x

Sorry you’re still in limbo @DancingThroughLife02 my understanding is that after implantation is takes a good few days for the hormones to build up enough to show on a test

AF just arrived with a vengeance - on to June with high hopes!

My GP has agreed to do full blood count checks etc, doesn’t include the fertility panel but it’s a start at seeing if my body is optimal everywhere else! 🤞🏼 it’ll take a few weeks so will go about this cycle as normal

Sorry @DancingThroughLife02 i’m with you!

Annoying about the coil removal, definitely can’t fudge that 😂 glad to see they have agree to do some blood tests. It always feels better to do doing something I always find, even if they aren’t fertility specific yet. Especially given your family history of thyroid problems. Did the GP have any good advice?

I’m CD 19 and just twiddling my thumbs waiting to ovulate. LH testing once a day but no EWCM yet so not expecting it any time soon. My app is predicting ovulation for CD30. Time is passing soooooooo slowly!

I wish I could dtd in a lunch break! That sounds so convenient! Im trying to fit it in between the older one going to sleep and before the little one wakes up again! Still co-sleeping here too so the bed is out as well 😂 children are very inconvenient!

Going to cautiously join this thread! I’m 3 days late on AF, but my line is so faint I’m not sure!!

I think I’m also on 8DPO. My Premom app is very confused about when I ovulated and when my period is due because of my chemical pregnancy last month. I’m basing ovulation off the LH strips not the app. No idea when my period might be due! Don’t have any signs of anything and haven’t tested yet.

I see the second line and it's colored too! Tentative congratulations. Did you test with FMU today?

I had a REALLY vivid dream last night that I gave birth to a baby girl.

I'm only 7DPO but feeling absolutely nothing, I don't think it's happening this month.

@MumOf3amazingkidsthank you so much!! I tried but it was faulty - no control line or results line. So frustrating! Wasted the first wee hahaha.
will try this afternoon & hope it shows- AF 4 days late now so fairly optimistic xx

They certainly do make it trickier! I got a 0.87 this morning so hoping this is it and I’ll finally ovulate. Think I’m CD21/22 I don’t even know anymore 🤣

Keep us posted😊

I’m on cycle 2 TTC and my periods finished so same as last month, I’m starting my ovulation strips now. I’m only CD5 but last cycle my LH was around 0.20 (super faint line) but this cycle there’s no line at all and it’s 0. Is this normal?

No period yet but I’m pretty sure I’m out. Possibly between 14/10dpo, my temperature and apps say different things. Tested this morning and it’s definitely negative. 😂 Weird though as I’ve had some similar symptoms to my first pregnancy.

congrats to all with bfp!!

I had a couple of 0 days in my last cycle and only ever got as high as 0.7 according to the Premom app, but I fell pregnant so definitely ovulated. I'm now not using the app as I don't trust the numbers and just looking for a good strong line!

@DaisyDreaming92 you’re not out until you’re out!! Best of luck xx

I tested negative on 15 dpo (day after AF due) and then a v faint line 2 days after AF due.
now 3 days after AF due, about to test again…

@MumOf3amazingkidsthanks, just did another and it’s negative :(
AF is never late for me so I’m all over the place. Now at 3 days late I’m pretty confident I’m not pregnant, but I just don’t know what to think. Could be a chemical I guess, with a v faint line, late period & then negative test.
thanks for your support! X

Can I join? Major anxiety about trying to conceive it’s honestly doing my head in. Literally not been trying long but just got my period and feeling so glum!

i had fertility tests a few years ago which were fine. I’m struggling with my headspace and I’m convinced I’m infertile.

trying again this month. How do you maintain optimism?
