I’m DPO9 today, no symptoms at all, I think I’m out. Cycle 15 of trying 😢 wondering when to quit at this point….

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 01/07/2026 13:39

@2littleonesx I can’t see a picture. Maybe try to upload it again?

@Pineapplechew I think ovulation is supposed to be 12-36 hours after your first peak. So yesterday’s peak would have triggered ovulation, so most Apps would say ovulation is today! But I’ve never had a double peak pattern like that before so not entirely sure.

CD1 for me so I’m joining! Fingers crossed for everyone this month.

Sorry you are having a hard time. Don’t mean to give you false hope but I didn’t get any pregnancy symptoms last time! For the whole first trimester i couldn’t tell I was pregnant. Hoping you are still in with a chance this month, 9dpo is still early. Fingers crossed for you. 15 months is very tough ❤️

Silverglass · 01/07/2026 18:33

Hoping to join soon! Been waiting for my cycle to get back to normal following a loss. My lh strips are now as light as I’ve ever seen them so fingers crossed for a surge in a couple of weeks. little bit concerned with how much my husband is drinking with the football on though.

Can anyone explain opks to me a bit please 😅 I got 1.4 yesterday at lunch, then at dinner it was 0.99, I’ve just done it again now and got 1.4 again. So when do I ovulate?

Sometimes, it depends on your fluid levels too! But you could be high for more than 1 day as that's happened to me before

Thanks, so would you say ovulation is 24-48 hours from the first positive still?

I got my positive opk yesterday and my app is saying O is today then, but couldn’t it be tomorrow too? I’m scared of missing it but all the maths is too much for me!

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 30/06/2026 19:51

Fair enough! I don’t for the same reason. Oooh, I’ve never tested progesterone. Maybe I should start as it would take the guess work out of whether ovulation has actually occurred. So sorry that it’s hasn’t worked this month. I remember you said you were very unhappy at work? Has it got any better?

I haven’t even gone back yet but nope. I’ve been gone 15 months and they’re putting me straight back in sole charge as a vet. Inpatients, surgery, emergencies etc. when consulting I don’t even have a nurse

i go back this month. If I hadn’t had the chemical I would’ve been 12 weeks. AF finally arrived today so that’s something I guess

Jigglemonster · 01/07/2026 21:45

Hi everyone! Would love to join you all for July.

TTC #3 now, second cycle trying. Currently 4dpo ish, but took a while with my 2nd so just trying to be less crazy than last time but already feeling the urge to buy loads of tests and gadgets 😂

Starting clomid from this cycle, but don't want to get ahead of myself! Hope this is the month for everyone

Agathapoirot · 01/07/2026 21:55

I’m definitely out and now in cycle day 2, ordered some more ovulation tests today.

We’re trying for number two, thought I’d be easy breezy this time round, but am more disappointed than I thought I would be!

sending lots of luck to everyone else on this thread

It could be between 12-48 hours from the first positive! Don't worry, as long as you DTD yesterday, today and tomorrow you should be good!

Milennialworkinprogress · 01/07/2026 22:51

@2littleonesx I can't make it out from your photo but test again in the morning and show us! Fingers crossed

Hey! Do you mind if I ask how long it took with your second? I’m on cycle 15, although took 13 cycles with my first and had 3 chemicals

MultilingualMummy · 02/07/2026 06:56

Hi everyone I’m cycle day 10 cycle 2 of ttc baby number 2 with letrozole

Milennialworkinprogress · 02/07/2026 07:19

How long are your cycles ladies? I think I've been calculating ovulation wrong on my apps although I was more using body signs.

I'm 25-26 days and last month my app said ovulation would be CD17 but that gave me like 9 days till the start of my period?

Anyway, going to use OPKs because I am confused!

Just wanted to say that I'm on cycle 10 which I know isn't as long as 15 but it's still a fairly long time so you aren't the only one waiting longer than most. Best of luck to you ❤️

Jigglemonster · 02/07/2026 13:06

@Riverofhope it took 9 cycles with my second and when I had my amh test it was very low which made me more stressed. I went to a private gynae on cycle 8 and had more tests/scans and got a clomid prescription and then before I had the chance to take it I was pregnant.

This time I went to see him earlier and hoping the clomid helps a bit. It's the uncertainty that's the killer.

@Milennialworkinprogress my cycles are 29 days usually and I ovulate around day 19/20 so also have a short luteal phase. Though my first cycle of trying this time was 45 days so I can only assume I didn't actually ovulate.

Glittertint · 02/07/2026 17:40

Hey hoping I can rejoin the threads. I’m CD4 on cycle 8 I think? Trying for our second, we had an early miscarriage cycle 2 and was also hospitalised with a viral illness the end of cycle before last. Attempting to stay positive, we took 13 cycles with our DD but definitely starting to feel the deflated feeling that we might just not be able to have another!

It can be really deflating, but I think if you managed one it's very likely that number two will be very much possible for you .sorry to hear about your early loss, hope it's not long before your BFP

I am on cycle 10 of trying for #1, no luck at all yet. Hoping it happens for us but we have some tests lined up soon if it doesn't happen.

Pineapplechew · 02/07/2026 19:20

@Milennialworkinprogress that’s interesting mine are 26 days and my apps usually guess day 12-14. I used opks this month and it was actually day 16.

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 02/07/2026 19:35

Oh, I sorry @HappyBlueDonkey that sounds really tough!! So bad they aren’t trying to make it easier for you / ease you back into it. I’ve heard from friends how stressful being a vet is ❤️

HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy · 02/07/2026 19:39

Hi @Glittertint ! Welcome back! Hope you are feeling better? It is so hard when you have been trying for so long!
I’m currently on CD75 so don’t think the myo-inositol is working for me 😂 about to finish my 3 month supply and torn on whether to order more or try something else! All the supplements are so expensive 😩 are you trying anything different?

DaisyDreaming92 · 03/07/2026 15:47

Hi guys,

Had an ectopic pregnancy, 1st cycle back of ttc no2, feeling apprehensive as definitely don’t want to go through that again. Currently on cd10, so going to be trying soon. I was on a thread when I conceived our first and found it really helpful going through it at the same time as others ☺️
