Morning girls, that’s it really, looking for 2WW buddies to get through the longest part of the ttc cycles !
I’m 1DPO, cycle 8 for a first baby 🀞🏼

Good luck girls, it looks like you’re all more or less at the same stage !
I hope it turns out positive.
i had a blazing opk yesterday and this morning so we DTD both times. And now I’m having the WORST ovulation cramps on the right side.
Last time we conceived but had CP (last October) I had the exact same ovulation pain so I am hopeful (taking anything as a positive after 12+ months of ttc).
Fingers crossed for all of us, another BFP would be fantastic xxx

7dpo and experiencing some lower aches and shooting pains. Had some cramping on and off on 5 and 6po and sharper pains at the side. Unsure if this is the start of AF or something else. Feel like it could go either way to be honest.

Lh4503 · 21/09/2025 08:00

I've woken up to actual red bleeding today, like a lighter period. I'm only 8dpo and this never happens. Although my temps are rising even higher the last 2 days and I've seen no drop at all so im really confused/slightly worried.

MegLS · 21/09/2025 07:35

@WF1990 I had been hoping so but I’ve woken up to a tiny bit more light pink spotting so unfortunately think I’m out and I’m just having a repeat of last month!

WF1990 · 20/09/2025 18:21

@EllieWalessorry to hear you d been feeling unwell ! 😭
you might still be in though !

@Lh4503let us know about the progesterone result !

@MegLSall this sounds pretty positive ?

wishing you all a good weekend!
I think tomorrow will be 0/1 dpo depending on ovulation cramps but after waiting 30 days for a peak (what a liberty) I’m a probably not even gonna think about the 2WW lol

Yay @WF1990 finally the wait is over πŸ˜†

@EllieWales aww sorry to hear the little one has been unwell. Hopefully feeling a bit better now? Keeping everything crossed for you this month.

Get my progesterone result Tuesday now.

Don't think ill test until the day before AF is due, and that is only because im out next weekend. I feel quite negative this month probably because I got pregnant last month so I feel like it won't happen again so soon. πŸ˜”

MegLS · 20/09/2025 14:44

@EllieWales Sorry to hear about your LO, hope they’re doing better! Definitely go off your charts, hopefully they’ve caught it even if the tests haven’t. I’m telling myself that but I will almost definitely test tomorrow, especially now I’ve realised I’m a day further ahead than I thought originallyπŸ˜…

@Marvelftw I don’t usually get cramps unless AF is due, and they’re usually more painful. I’ve had them mildly today/yesterday so I think 7/8dpo, would be very early for AF for me so I’m trying to think positively that it could be implantation instead. I’m also terrible for symptom spotting though, so might just be me being in my own head about it!

Marvelftw · 20/09/2025 14:35

@MegLS Out of interest Meg when you have those early cramps do you generally feel alright about them? I always worry that means I’m out if I’m having cramps before 6DPO

EllieWales · 20/09/2025 14:26

Finally @WF1990 it really took it’s time this month πŸ₯²

Glad ultrasound came back ok @Lh4503 when will you get your progesterone results?

Fair play if you make it to Monday @MegLS you’re a stronger woman than me πŸ˜‚

I have a feeling I’ll be testing from 8dpo this cycle only issue is I have no idea when that is! My LH never really peaked it’s gone up and down a bit the last few days but never above 0.45. I was in hospital with LO earlier in the week so I didn’t test that day. Chat gpt puts me at 4dpo based on RHR and BBT so I’m going off that. We DTD twice two days before ovulation but that was it with LO being unwell so not sure I’m in for much of a chance this month

MegLS · 20/09/2025 14:18

Hope you’re all having a good Saturday!

@WF1990 at last!! Fingers crossed for you, the TWW will feel like a breeze after waiting so long!

I’ve had no more spotting, was just a small amount of pink yesterday. I’ve had some mild cramps the last couple of days too. My app says I’m 7dpo but looking back at my ovulation tests I think I’m actually 8dpo. I’ve got a restock of tests arriving today as I’d run out, telling myself I’ll wait until at least Monday which I think would be 10dpo, but not sure if I’ll be able to hold out🀣

WF1990 · 20/09/2025 13:34

Happy weekend girls, how is everybody ?
@EllieWales did you get your peak ?
got mine today so we DTD πŸ˜…
on CD30, absolute mare πŸ˜†

Lh4503 · 19/09/2025 15:51

@WF1990 yay finally!! Glad your finally seeing some change 🀞 peak is coming really soon!

@MegLS we are cycle buddies, im 6dpo too. I had some very light pink/red/brown spotting from 1dpo assuming that was something do with ovulation πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Doesn't usually happen.

Small amount of light brown now but nothing major. I don't trust anything at this point. On my pregnant cycles I had brown spotting more around 11dpo as its too early yet for implantation.

Also my ultrasound came back normal and ive had progesterone bloods taken today to check progesterone is okay.

Hope everyone's is okay and looking forward to the weekend πŸ₯°

MegLS · 19/09/2025 11:56

@WF1990 do you think it’s close to peak? It is massively testing your patience this month!

I’m 6dpo today and have had a small amount of pink/brown spotting this morning. After last month’s spotting which turned out to be nothing I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but this is a few days earlier than last time so who knows.

WF1990 · 19/09/2025 08:51

LH still rising over here and more EWCM. Only took about 30 days 🀣 if I don’t laugh I’ll cry guys !

Lh4503 · 18/09/2025 17:01

@NatalieSF awww congratulations 😊

@WF1990 I'm so glad your finally seeing that LH rises and signs of ovulation, what a long month for you! Any news from the hospital about next steps?

@EllieWales It's a very wierd feeling. Hope your doing okay!

EllieWales · 18/09/2025 14:44

Omg @NatalieSF congratulations!! So lovely to see some positives on here 🫢

Well I thought I was 2dpo today but I’ve just done a LH to check and it looks like it’s rising πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ @WF1990 looks like we’ll be on the same timeline this month and can support each other through the TWW! It’s been a long month for you but glad it’s doing something now. Not long until your appointment now is it?

@Lh4503 glad the spotting has stopped, the sharp shooting pain is horrible isn’t it!

MegLS · 18/09/2025 12:49

@WF1990 pleased to hear it’s finally rising, that must have felt like such a long month!! Hope you get your peak soon and the TWW goes by a bit easier for you

@NatalieSF Definitely see clearer lines on those! Congratulations, keep us updated☺️

NatalieSF · 18/09/2025 12:40

@WF1990 so glad it's finally rising. Hoping you get your peak soon 🀞🏼

I've done two other boots tests since yesterday and the line is definitely progressing πŸ₯°

Omg @NatalieSF 🀞🏼!!!

CD27 over here, I FINALLY have EWCM and LH rising 🀣 the 2WW will be a breathe after this ! Can’t believe it took a month to ovulate again. Can’t wait to have some treatment now!

Lh4503 · 17/09/2025 15:55

@EllieWales thats strang because I've been having some sharp shooting pains but in my left groin area today im 3/4dpo I was like what on earth 🫠 luckily my random pink spotting has stopped now. This is a wierd cycle.

@NatalieSF I agree I think i see a very faint line too! Keeping us updated πŸ₯°

EllieWales · 17/09/2025 15:21

Hi @NatalieSF I think I can see a vvvv faint line too, keeping everything crossed for you.

Any sign of peak yet @WF1990 it’s been a really long cycle for you!

I hope it’s your month @MegLS that would be very special on your 10 year anniversary.

I think I’m 1dpo today, didn’t catch an LH surge so I can’t be sure but BBT and RHR are elevated and CM has turned from fertile a few days ago to now luteal type CM. I’ve also had a painful ovulation (if that’s what it is) @Lh4503 period type back pain yesterday and sharp shooting pains in my right groin area today. I’m not having much luck with these LH strips πŸ˜‚ I’ll keep testing for the next few days in case

NatalieSF · 17/09/2025 14:40

Hey all πŸ‘‹πŸΌ

Hope you get an answer soon @WF1990it may just randomly come I've heard a few people experience something similar and it's just randomly gone to peak 🀞🏼

I'm currently 9dpo..it's been a very long 9 days as I refused to rest till today and usually I've caved by now 🀣 no symptoms apart from boobs are a little sensitive and I keep getting nauseous but I've also not been well recently..did an early test this morning think I see a vvvvfl but will see if it develops 🀞🏼

Sending baby dust to all πŸŽ‰

MegLS · 16/09/2025 11:25

@WF1990 oh no, that must be so frustrating! Any change today? Hope you get your answer soon.

I’m 3dpo at the moment, seems to be going sooo slowly already! Can’t help but get ahead of myself too, it’s our ten year anniversary in a few weeks and it would just be so amazing to have some good news

Marvelftw · 15/09/2025 19:59

@WF1990 I’m ok thanks but sorry to hear about your delay. My ovulation this month was delayed by a day and even that had me wondering a lot!

I’m currently 1DPO. Compared to other cycles I had a very painless ovulation and more ewcm so I’m hoping this could all work in my favour…
