Little background started trying in May 2025. Conceived in June however had a MMC at 12 week. Scan end of August, ended in medical miscarriage at the start of September.
I had a chemical beginning of December.
baby number 1 was so easy and quick and I’m struggling atm with two losses, the new year and no pregnancy :(
I am looking to start a thread so that women in a similar situation can post and share their experiences on what can be a very lonely ttc journey ❤️

I am CD2 xx

6dpo for me! Spotting but think it’s due to using progesterone pessaries. Feeling super tired and dull aches. Could be early pms xx

Welcome everyone! ❤️

i’m 5dpo today. I’ve had a lot of thick CM. But my boobs started hurting Friday and Saturday but today they feel normal again. I’m not due on until a week today/tomorrow. Everyone else in the 2WW how are you doing ? X

I'm going to start TTC baby no.2 this month. DS is 3.5 years old. Started trying in 2024 when he was around 18 months, fell pregnant first cycle but had a MMC in 2024, medical management and found it all very traumatic so took a break. Tried in 2025 and again fell pregnant first cycle, had another MMC, surgical management which i found far less traumatising, took another break to get my head straight and just enjoy Christmas. Feeling ready to try again although terrified of another miscarriage :( also I'm 36 but DH is 40 and feels like he's getting too old which adds another layer of pressure as I don't want him to change his mind on wanting a second.

Hope everyone has a good cycle and that theres some positive tests soon!

Also TTC no.2, DD is 2 and half. Conceived her after 3/4 cycles. Been trying no.2 for a year. Not actively monitoring anything was totally convinced it had happened this month but AF arrived this morning. Considering going to the GP for baseline tests as I’m now late 30s and ideally would like it to happen this year.

Daisies104 · 22/01/2026 19:34

Also TTC baby number 2! Complicated by a grade 3 cystocele and mild PCOS (I have 41 day cycle but no hormone issues as such, at least not on a blood test).

@mumofrobecause of my elevated NK cells I’m trying to stick to he really healthy. Eating salmon, eggs , chicken and lots of fruit and veg. I usually have seeds with my breakfast and snack on nuts and fruits. I have been doing this for a couple of months now but consistently this month because of my bloods. I’m not drinking during my tww again because of my bloods but if it wasn’t for that I’d be having a glass of wine or two to relax. I drink 1 coffee a day and everything else caffeine free.
I'm trying acupuncture this month and have a session on Monday and had one last Monday. I did reflexology last week too.
im just trying to relax and do things that keep me busy ❤️ sorry for the lonnnggg reply haha

@wonderlust07fingers crossed for you!! I heard about animals it happened to my friend she kept testing negative but was so sure she was because she was late and her dog was following her around all the time and she was pregnant xx

Yes I’m trying to do exactly the same!! I’m away this weekend in the Cotswolds and really want to be able to have a couple of glasses of wine, but not sure it’s worth the risk :/ hate having the worry about every move I make! Cooking salmon as we speak! Xx

I had a few symptoms early last time but then I had a very faint line at 8dpo. I have been having random stomach twinges this week and I feel tired but I dont think its related. The pregnancy where I had my son, I didnt have anything early as I only did a test as my dog was acting weird.

mumofro · 22/01/2026 11:13

Lola266 · 22/01/2026 11:06

I’m the same I tend to have symptoms around when my period is due when pregnant. Where as pms starts 1 week before my period x

good luck everyone keep us all posted if you want ❤️

Exactly the same as me! So when I start getting sore boobs/bloating etc a week prior to period, I know I am very unlikely pregnant! Are you doing anything different this TWW? Eg not drinking/ no coffee? I can’t give up my morning coffee but I am really trying to be more healthy! Xx

Every time I’ve fallen pregnant I’ve had zero symptoms so let’s see how this goes! Are any of you taking progesterone pessaries? X

Hey guys, I ovulated I think on Tuesday. So 2 DPO now. I’m not feeling confident this month due to my NK cell results. Hoping for a miracle 🙏🏻

l’m also 2dpo, hopefully it’ll be a lucky month 🤞

wonderlust07 · 22/01/2026 10:45

I think I am 8 dpo but its been a long week!

mumofro · 22/01/2026 09:59

Hi all, would love to join.
Today was ovulation day.
I had a mmc and chemical inside the past 4 months. I've been at this at this a long time and Im not sure how I havent lost my mind throughout this process

MamaOooh · 21/01/2026 14:43

@wonderlust07 it was 0.9. I did another one before bed that came up as 0.8 but to me it looked the same, and then it changed my 0.9 one to 'peak' even though it didn't even register it as positive? So confusing.

Dying to test again but I'm in the office today so will have to wait until tonight 😒

MamaOooh · 20/01/2026 11:08

Not tried these yet but I might give them a go next month if this cycle isn't successful ☺️ I think I was being a bit impatient though as when I did one of my strip ones this morning I got what I took to be a positive, you'd think it was a BFP with how delighted I was! But according to premom it's not dark enough- what do you guys think?

Show quote history

What was the premom score? This month mine didnt reach 'peak' as such but were 0.99 and looked very dark so assume that it was my peak. I had three highs of 0.82, 0.99, 0.92 and a 0.93 and then it dropped to 0.52 but none of them said 'peak' my temp on oura then rose so assuming I did ovulate at some point then.

Have you tried the digital clear blue ovulation it will give you an answer either low/ high or peak fertility instead of reading the strips? Xx

Thanks @CrazyKJ. I will definitely keep testing - last month I kept going until CD18 and then gave up as it felt pointless. Am doing twice a day religiously this month!

CD14 and 15 are my office days this week, so was secretly hoping I'd have peaked by then when I can freely POAS while WFH 😂
