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 🀞🏼

@lalalalalala2024well considering implantation happens between 6dpo and 10dpo I think I will try and wait until 11 dpo but my luteal phase is 11 days so to me it means on the day af is due ! What about you ??

@WF1990when do you think you will test ? I’m new to this πŸ˜‚

WF1990 · 16/07/2025 08:52

@lalalalalala2024yes, and it was awfully warm 🀣
fingers crossed one of us ends up with a BFP!
My cycle should be 32 days this month but let’s hope AF doesn’t show up πŸ˜…

Welcome @lalalalalala2024!
the more the merrier !
looks like you and I are roughly at the same stage, I fnd that the first week is the slowest ! Well if you DTD on peak day or the day before ovulation this is actually the best chance to conceive ! So fingers crossed ! My cycles are between 29/32 days and I ovulate around cd20 but it can vary just like my cycles and I find tracking ovulation so tedious but no choice ! Last month I decided to just go off EWCM but it turns out I get EWCM up to 5 days before ovulation so it’s hard for me to gage. (And we aren’t the type of couple to be able to DTD 5 days ina row πŸ˜‚ we did this the first cycle and said never again hahahah)

haha looks like we must have dtd over the hot weekend πŸ˜‚ I tried doing it the next day but it was so hot. At this point it’s not for fun and I call it a mission lol.
my cycles are around 29 days but last month it was 33 I think, I am assuming it will be 29 this month but I’m away with friends the week of ovulation in August, hoping it’s. Shorter cycle or a longer cycle than normal now if we don’t catch this month

Can I join ! I’m about 3dpo, this is my first cycle and the first time I have ever tracked, I have a 5 year old who is begging me to be a sister πŸ˜… I did a dummy run last month and ovulated on CD20, I didn’t start tracking till CD15 this month and it was an instant peak on the ovulation test, tested on the evening and it was a strong peak so I’m hoping we caught it but I’m not hopeful.

Lh4503 · 16/07/2025 07:19

Absolutely!! Would save a lot of guessing games 🀣

WF1990 · 16/07/2025 06:53

Wouldn’t it be so great if we could know at 1 dpo like β€œ it didn’t work, move on girl” πŸ˜‚

Lh4503 · 16/07/2025 06:51

Yeah I agree, with my first I had no symptoms at all that I can recall. Ut to be honest i didn't know much about all this I started trying and it only took 3 months, no tracking or anything. She's nearly 6 now. I'm definitely trying to hold out for AF but it is hard, especially when you know you can test and find out.

I'm 35 too 😊 awww fair play to you for concentrating on your career!

WF1990 · 15/07/2025 22:09

No spotting is a good sign I’d say too !
Sunday isn’t too far away although one day feels like a week during
the 2WW πŸ˜‚
you’ll have to let me know ! You’re really brave because I think old me would have caved and tested. This time around I won’t test until AF is due I think …
I am ! 35, and no kids yet ! I’ve been focused on my career a lot
but now is the time. What about you how old are
you ?

Lh4503 · 15/07/2025 22:05

@WF1990 AF is due on Sunday. I'm at the point where i dont really know when to test now as I dont want to do it too early. I'm thinking around 12dpo.

Ooh that's good your wait is shorter! Hopefully the EWCM is a good sign 🀞 and you say your not sure you've DTD enough but you've done it twice around ovulation so that's good!

I've had spotting the last two cycles last month it started 5dpo and didn't stop until after AF came. But not had that this time so hoping that's good. At this point im not expecting anything and hoping for the best 🀣🀞

I see your username is 1990 are you 34/35?

WF1990 · 15/07/2025 21:18

@Lh4503seems like a good sign ! When is AF due ?
ive tested LOADS in the past and
the past two months I’ve chilled out. My luteal phase is only 11 days so it’s a shorter wait for me I guess ! But let’s speak when I’m 9dpo and I’m staring at my tests πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
I feel ok, I had really strong
ovulation symptoms like mild cramping and bloating ! And TMI but also this is the first month I have an outrageous amount of EWCM. Let’s hope this helps πŸ₯²

Hello @EmPeEf πŸ‘‹

@WF1990 Sorry im 8dpo πŸ€£πŸ™ˆ aww did you thats mad. It's so rubbish isn't it. Yes keeping my fingers crossed for us both. That first few days after ovulation is the worst isn't it because it just feels like forever to wait.

Well I have previously been a serial tester, not like loads in one day but just not giving it a few days between but last month I got out of that habit as I felt it drove me more insane. So I'm much more relaxed now which is better πŸ˜ƒ

I've had mild nausea on and off, mild lower back aches on and off, feeling tired now and again but not consistently. Boobs started to hurt yesterday. But to be honest in previous cycles I've had all the symptoms including spotting and been negative so I dont believe any of my symptoms anymore!!

How are you both feeling?

WF1990 · 15/07/2025 19:39

Welcome ! 🀞🏼🀞🏼🀞🏼

I’m 2 or 3 dpo. It’s third month trying.

WF1990 · 15/07/2025 19:31

Hi girl ! I got pregnant with a chemical in January too! Let’s hope this month is the right one for us 🀞🏼
I’m not sure whether we DTD enough ! Did on peak day and the day before… we shall see!
are you a serial tester? Do you have any symptoms at all ? (I always get pms symptoms so I feel like nothing ever looks different for me πŸ˜…)

Hello! @WF1990 I'm in my TWW but not just started, im 9dpo today!
