I’m coming into my fertile window so we’re about to start dtd again for a week or so. Anyone else on the same timeline? Wishing you all luck! X

Yes I am too! We’ve decided to try dtd every night since CD6 and I’m CD10 now 😂 and we’ve booked a night away CD13/14 to try get some toddler free time. Going all out this month 😂😂😂

Poppybloom55 · 14/05/2026 14:32

Also in my fertile window! Expecting to ovulate tomorrow. Then the dreaded TWW begins 😑

censor22 · 14/05/2026 18:51

Got my fingers and toes crossed for you both! X

HappyBlueDonkey · 14/05/2026 19:30

good luck both of you! 6-7 DPO here and I feel out already

SantiagoSister · 14/05/2026 20:41

Good luck to those in their fertile windows! I’m waiting for AF to arrive hopefully next weekend and then I will start to use the Clearblue Advanced Fertility Monitor again to help pinpoint my fertile window (cycles can vary +/- 8 days so I find it really useful)

I’m CD10 of 31-32 day cycles and estimating ovulation at CD17-20 so going into it soon!

Best of luck for this cycle!

8DPO keep getting daily mild cramps (from around day 5) and had a strange pulling sensation around then too - is this a good sign or could it be pre-period cramps? :/

Teddii · 15/05/2026 12:29

Hello,

10dpo today and we've had our faint positive. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this pregnancy sticks after a loss last year and many months TTC.

I did attempt to test yesterday but it was definately an eye squinter!

My EDD be 25/1/27.

I'm feeling a mixture of anxiety and excitement.

Could be implantation. How long is your luteal phase for?

It's usually about 12 days - so period would be due in 4 days

Oh that's way too early to test. When do you plan on testing?

DandelionPockets · 17/05/2026 11:05

10dpo today with BFN on test strip.

Was trying to hold out testing until 12dpo...

PinkLemonade44 · 18/05/2026 09:23

11dpo and BFN on early detection test

Glittertint · 18/05/2026 21:07

Think I’ve ovulated so into my TWW. Going to try wait until 12dpo to test

censor22 · 19/05/2026 06:54

Same here, onto the two weeks! I’ve depressed myself by reading that at my age it’s only 15% chance per cycle, wished I hadn’t seen that

PinkLemonade44 · 19/05/2026 09:24

Ok re-tested on the HCG test... is this likely positive? Will test again in a few days

TTC April/May 2026
ChasingRainbow5 · 19/05/2026 10:29

@PinkLemonade44 I think that's positive!

HappyBlueDonkey · 19/05/2026 12:43

Positive @PinkLemonade44 congrats!
BFN 11DPO here but had a faint positive at 9 and 10DPO so think I’ve had an early chemical

You aren't out until AF shows up. Did you retest?

That definitely looks positive! 😁😁😁 Keep us updated with the line progression. It means the mild cramps you had since 5dpo were definitely implantation cramps. How exciting 😊
