TTC - July 2026

[Milennialworkinprogress]

Moving from the June thread, baby dust to all!

Ooo what day did you come off the pill? If it’s been less than two weeks maybe you are ovulating around now. I think OPK tests can be positive for around 3 days at peak fertility- great sign so soon after coming off the pill! Best of luck for baby making!

Hi all regular reader but not poster but thought I’d join in for this one. On cycle 7 TTC first baby, hoping this is the month! Can get quite disheartening after a few cycles when you hear stories from people you know only taking a cycle or 2. Hopefully July is a successful month for us all 🩷

Good luck for this month ❤️

I took my last one on Thursday. I'm hoping so. Would be nice if it happens so quickly. Thank you

So turns out my squinter was an indent, I had BFNs on FRER and many others...... (I need to stop peeing on sticks)!

Just waiting for AF, but hoping it isn't too long, last cycle was 45 days whereas it's normally 29, keen to just start again . I have clomid prescribed going forward so hoping that helps and next month is the month!

Best of luck to everyone still in their TWW

@Jigglemonster how many dpo are you? You might not be out yet?

I’m 7dpo tomorrow and i know im going to torture myself by doing a test way too early. I promised myself I wasn’t going to do it till Friday but I know I will.

Hi all, just moving over from the May/June thread.

Just started my period so back to CD1 for me, managed to avoid the obsessive testing last time around but still a little bit disappointed. I know it can take time and technically we’ve only been trying for 3 months but not sure what we’re doing wrong. Right kind of lubrication and timing and everything, guess I’ve just got to keep hoping.

Baby dust to everyone, looking forward to seeing some positives on here!

I'm somewhere between 9dpo and 10dpo @Pineapplechew according to the LH strips. I haven't been temping but I think I'll start now. Do you know based on both LH and temp?

It's so tempting to test isn't it? Then just so disappointing if its negative.

@DancingThroughLife02 I know what you mean. It's very consuming, each month drags so even if its not a long period of time in the grand scheme of things the lack of control and uncertainty is the killer

Hey ladies. I am on and off the group for the last 13 months. I have had 4 miscarriages in that time. Just watching the thread.
Hope all are doing well

Hey all, I’ve been lurking on this thread so I thought I’d join in. I’m 9DPO cycle #3 after an ectopic, cycle #6 overall trying for our first.

I’ve had a lot of breast tenderness, light cramping and fatigue so I’ve really got my hopes up this cycle! As I don’t think my PMS symptoms usually start this early. I stupidly caved and tested this morning and it was stark white BFN which I know doesn’t mean I’m out, but I’ve now convinced myself I am! I’m trying to hold off on testing for 2 days now but even that feels like forever away

I tested 7dpo. It was negative (surprise) convinced myself I’m out
I’m trying to talk myself down because obviouslyyy it’s negative and I’ve been pregnant twice before and never got a positive on 7dpo.
the other times I’ve been pregnant I’ve known I was before I tested positive, and right now I don’t ‘feel’ pregnant and that’s throwing me off too. I’m just entering the crazy phase of the tww I think.

Starting the tww although I know ill be testing early! This is the worst part now!

Hi, can I tentatively join the thread - just started TTC #2, and (I think) 2DPO. Exciting but also terrifying.

It's been a while since I was last TTC, so I have that mad feeling that I must be pregnant as I had unprotected sex at the right time 😂even though it took a good few months to conceive our first.

I'm 11 dpo today and still testing negative - AF due tomorrow or Friday and I know I am not out until then but cant help being in a negative headspace

Came off the pill a week ago, got positive ovulation tests Sunday Monday and tuesday. So not completely sure when I ovulated. They are now negative going to try and hold off another week before testing

Hey im ttc my 4th i know i ovulated yesterday think it happened in the early morning as i had 48hours of right sided cramps before that morning where i had a sharp one on the right side that only lasted for a minute ish and had the ewcm over the 48hours and morning of sharp pain, but now today no more ewcm, but alot of white discharge 1dpo i plan to test on the 17th hoping it ends up positive.

Is anyone else due to ovulate this week and struggling with this heat? All my OPKs are negative because I'm drinking so much water and I don't want to be anywhere near another human!

No I actually think they’d settled the month I got really poorly as I ovulated CD14 and my period came 14dpo! But then last month I ovulated CD18 but only had 10 day LP?! I am putting it down to the illness though!!

I know the feeling on just wanting to get into bed! My DD has slept so badly the last 4 days I’m so exhausted so don’t think I’ll be running for a few days!!

it could be your DH if you concieved the last 2 pregnancies fairly quickly in terms of number of cycles so definitely worth nagging him! I’ve got mine on a multi vit and coQ10

We’ll get there!! I’d definitely going to your GP as I think you’ll get help to ovulate, my understanding was IVF is hit and miss depending on area. My DH and I have decided to lock in for 3 months to try get really good quality before we go gp/private

CD11 and I’m 90% confident I ovulated last night. I think my cycle might be a bit messed up. 1st cycle after my ectopic. I’ve not had a loss before so not sure if it’s normal for the 1st cycle to be a bit off/a dud. Guess we’ll find out in 2 weeks 😭

It does! I got pregnant on cycle 3 but sadly it was a chemical. I thought it would happen quickly again but it just hasn't. I keep thinking I should be 7 months pregnant now, not 0 months. It's so hard to plan when you don't know how long it will take. I'm thinking of changing jobs but I don't know if I should take a permanent or temporary contract as I don't know where I'll be this time next year. Temporary contracts pay better but then I risk looking for a job a few months pregnant and then being unemployable. I also risk not being pregnant at all and losing out on pay for nothing. If someone had a crystal ball it would make my life much easier haha.

I'm on cycle day 4, will probably start OPKs again next week. I take breaks dependong on how stressed it's making me feel. Good luck to us both for this cycle, fingers crossed it's the one!!
