Hi everybody! I was originally active on another thread but can't keep up far too many messages [hard to get a word in] and the most people seem to be way further in their tww. As for me 32 ttc cycle #5 after chemical pregnancy in March..this will be 3rd and last baby..CD 19 today 4 DPO fingers crossed....who else is a similar dpo/point in their cycle? feel very lonely at the moment and the tww is always soo hard..😕

@PearOpal@Ec2808 it’s not dipped below cover line yet so hopefully just a weird fluctuation and will go back up tomorrow 🤞🏻

@HansBanans and @Ec2808 my BBT might be weird but it usually starts a steady decline about 3 days before but doesn’t actually drop below the cover line until I’m already in the next cycle.

@HansBanans Sorry to hear of your negative test this morning… they suck!

Im 4 DPO according to Flo but I think I’m 5? Early days anyway. Feeling just bloated all the time, but don’t think that’s a symptom haha

@HansBananssorry for your bfn. This tww really is the worst. I have all my fingers crossed for you.

I'm on 3dpo and obsessively counting the days.

HansBanans · 09/07/2025 07:08

@Ec2808this is my first month of doing BBT so I’ve no idea. I did OPKs last month and think based off my peak I should have a 13-14 day luteal phase so hopefully not 🤞🏻 I know my RHR does start to drop a few days before tho ☹️

HansBanans · 09/07/2025 06:28

How is everyone this morning? Another BFN for me at 11dpo on both one step and Clearblue ultra early. I also had a drop in BBT and RHR this morning. Desperately trying to remain positive as not out til you’re out. AF is due Friday/Saturday according to my apps

@Snail4Lyfe1991ooooh i love that!!! I understand ttc is soo hard isn’t it?? I must say mine tends to fluctuate by a couple of days but most affordable way to pinpoint fertile window is cm 🤣 i also get cramps around when my lh starts rising so that’s also a good indicator i have never been diagnosed either but all my apps are telling me there’s signs of pcos no clue why 😕😕

OP posts:
Snail4Lyfe1991 · 08/07/2025 16:42

Oooh good to know about the temp dip!! I’m just so lost in this whole tracking thing. I’ve always had longer cycles (ranging from 30-50 days) but I have not been diagnosed with PCOS or endometriosis and don’t have any other symptoms for those besides the long cycles. So it’s hard for me to figure out when I’m going to ovulate. Hoping to be able to figure out atleast a guesstimate so I know moving forward what cycle days it should be around that way I’m not blowing through LH tests as much as I have been lol appreciate all your detective work and assistance 🤍 also sending baby dust to you during your TWW & I want to share this mantra I’ve been saying that my ChatGPT made for me. I love it 🤍🍼✨

@Shizwhizz of course welcome 😍
tell me about it I'm the same I'm soo impatient and only 5/6 dpo here and I just can't already 😂I absolutely hate the tww 😂

Shizwhizz · 08/07/2025 15:19

Hiii please may I join? I am 8 DPO on my third round of trying. Not really many symptoms except sore boobs and being so hungry I feel the need to eat three breakfasts and wake up for a midnight snack. It IS out of the usual for me to be this hungry, I do get hungry in my luteal phase but this is quite extreme.

Trying not read too much into that though. Trying not to symtom spot. Trying to relax and be chill about it as everyone is always like "yeah just relax and then it will happen" baaaah! 😾
The TWW is so annoying I am such an impatient person. I just wanna know!

Thinking of taking advantage of the prime day offer, the pre-conception vits I normally get aren't available on it, do any of you have any recommendations? Anything my DP can take too would be great.

Currently taking these, which arent too bad taste wise:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BWJWTTC5

Also prescribed folic acid through the GP due to a health condition, and taking Vit D, Vit K2, and collagen for my hair and nails.

Due to start my week of ovulation in 2 days according to Flo. Ovulate on the 16th then the dreaded 2ww.

Are OPKs worth it or maybe something to look at if it takes a while? Any recommendations if so? Already stocked up on pregnancy tests lol

Edited

Hello! I mentioned about I’ve been taking Proceive conception - both for me and for parter. I think they’ve been pretty good? Cycle has been regular on them. And recently had bloods done and vitamin levels, and folic acid etc all looked good?

@rainbowsnack it's up to you really I got them after my chemical to see how it affected my cycle...glad I did because ovulation was pushed back a couple of months, I think it's nice because it gives peace of mind to wherebouts you are in your cycle 🤗

welcome @Ash2345f and good luck on your journey 😘

@Ash2345f@GreenApple121hi both! Sorry to hear about your BFN @Ash2345f. Im taking vitamin D, CoQ10 (400mg a day) and folic acid. Not sure whether to try anything else. My partner isn’t taking anything

GreenApple121 · 08/07/2025 11:06

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is doing ok in the TWW!
@Ash2345f sorry to hear about the negative test. It’s relatively early in your journey right but they are just sooo disheartening!

was just going to ask myself what you guys taking? I’m currently doing Proceive conception vitamins for
me and DH, omegas for both of us and probiotics. I also work with a herbalist and she has some herbs for me to support fertility.
Just had my bloods done and looking all ok and was relieved that I’m not perimenopausal as I’m now 40!

might stick with proceive as my vitamins levels were fine too - unless anyone has any other recommendations?!

Ash2345f · 08/07/2025 10:59

Hey everyone hope it’s okay to jump in on this thread 😀 I had my copper coil removed end of April not quite sure if I ovulated cycle 1. Due AF tomorrow had BFN leading up to this so certain I’m out for June. This will be cycle 2 myself and my partner already have 1 child each from previous relationships I conceived first cycle last time at 29 I'm now 34 I was rather naive thinking the same would happen this time! What is everyone taking supplement wise has anyone tried them fertility cups don’t know how many cycles of TTC I can take so many ups and downs with it all x
