Ttc June/July 26

[theotherfossilsister]

I am out this cycle, anyone else want to join? Think I’ll ovulate around 29th June.

Ttc after an mmc and d and c in April, and took May off but think that was an anovulatory cycle anyway. Have a lovely three year old conceived through ivf.

I am on cycle day 1, so now onto cycle 2. We're going to be doing the SMEP method from now on and I am happy for another chance.

Congratulations @Bluesclues1!
I was confused about this sperm-meets-egg thing (isn't that what's always meant to happen?) but now I've googled it I think we'll try it next month if this time hasn't worked. DTD every day of my fertile window felt like a lot and I can see us getting burned out 😂
I'm going to try and be disciplined like you @MultilingualMummy and not test early. I'm not a very patient person though so we'll see how that goes!

I am also confused with people trying the sperm meets egg thing and what they mean by this!

@Bluesclues1 congratulations!

Hi everyone, I’m joining after my MMC in April, right in the middle of my cycle at the moment with ovulation either yesterday or today, so just crossing everything that our efforts this month work!

Just had some spotting. I'm about 10 days post ovulation and d23 of my cycle. Wondering if it's implantation bleeding. I didn't get this with my first pregnancy though I don't think.

It's just a plan some people use of when to have sex to maximise your chances. So every other day from CD8. Then 3 days in a row once you get a positive ovulation test, then skip a day, then have sex once more (seems a bit late to me by that point but I'm not a doctor)

Hi, think out this cycle as got static smiley 2 weeks ago and still a negative test. What strips do people get to use in the premom app, I think it sounds better than the clear blue one x

I actually wonder if I've got my full period at CD23?! Its normally around 30 days but has been 27 once. I'm still breastfeeding and I imagine that might impact things. But 23 days is very short! Has anyone else experienced something similar?

@Posypear I’ve had a few 24 day cycles before. I used to be anywhere from 24-33 but strangely after BF my first I’ve been regular 28 day cycles. If it’s not your usual amount of bleed though I’d hold out.

I really like the Wondfo strips. They’re about a tenner for 50 on amazon.

We did SMEP the month we conceived dd but also used clear blue monitor peak day and solid smiley day for back up! Couldn’t do that now as have two co-sleeping toddlers. Too much shagging, I’m older and very tired so only want to do the days we need to do!!

Definitely on period. I'm out. TWW was only 9 days in the end ! Deep down I thought it would work first time like my last pregnancy so now I'm considering weaning. All the best to those still waiting!

@Posypearhow old is your little one? I’m still breastfeeding nearly two year old about twice maybe three times a day. I may consider weaning too as this is our first month trying.

@toomanystrawberries same almost 2. Only in the mornings currently. I wanted to keep going until they are 2 but my cycles are all over the place it seems! Strange as they were consistently 30 days after I got my period back 11m pp but now they have gone from 30, 27, 30 and now 23.

Ovulation occurring during this heatwave is not ideal 🥵

I conceived my second while BF my first, he was only 16 months and still fed a few times a day. Currently BFing my second too. So what’s right for you but it might not necessarily be the reason.

Actually @Posypear it must have been after my second that I went back to regular cycles!

These were all my cycles between DC1 & conceiving DS2, seems similar to your pattern?

I took my patch off on 23rd. Yesterdays and today's opk lh level is 0 😱 not sure why I expected anything other than that so quickly!

Horrible symptoms slowly coming in though now I'm not on the patch and I've halved my medication. Slow and steady wins the race. Remembering to breathe 😂

@Hermioninny Yes that's quite similar actually! I was on the pill for 15 years before, came off for 2 cycles then got pregnant immediately so no wonder it's all over the place!

Hi, hoping this is the right thread for me timing wise as currently in my TWW so will be testing end of this month/early July.

I’m guessing my tests show I’m either 4 or maybe 5 DPO? I don’t do BBT as it doesn’t work on me due to regular wakings from my 3.5 year old 😂 so desperately want baby no 2 after an early MC in April!

Urgh here we fucking go again with another cycle of testing.

Anyone just kind of over it? I’m honestly checking out!

Yes I would say either 4 or 5dpo! Without BBT.

Fingers crossed, baby dust ✨️

What cycle are you on? Fingers crossed, this is your month. ❤️

Hi everyone!

I’ve hopped over from the May/June thread as AF came on Wednesday. We’re 3rd cycle properly trying after the loss of our twin boys at 22 weeks in December 2025.

I had a very faint positive 9dpo a few days ago but sadly, I think it may have been a chemical pregnancy.

I’ve contacted my GP about progesterone so he’s going to get some advice from gynae specialists about dosage etc so hoping that may help.

Good luck to everyone.

I’m cycle day 3 and usually ovulate cycle day 21 so I have a bit of a wait!
