Hi all, I’m just starting my TWW. I track LH and my surge was on Monday 12th so guessing I ovulated around the 13th.

I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle. Counting the bleeding from that as CD1 I ovulated on CD10 which took me by surprise.

I’ve got a toddler and school age child and TTC baby no. 3!

I hope people will join me complaining about the wait! Last cycle with the CP I started to feel sick from 8DPO and had a faint BFP on 10DPO when I first tested. The nausea hit me hard but the bleeding started around the time my period was due and I got a BFN after 2 days of bleeding, it took a few more days for the nausea to go.

Fingers crossed for this cycle, I’d love an October baby!

Hey. Just wondering if anyone has a really quick peak? I’m wondering whether I peaked through the night last night between CD11PM and CD12AM. I haven’t had sex since CD10PM and won’t be able to until this eve so thinking I may have missed it 😞😞

I think you might be peaking today. You've tested early this morning, but the advice is to test after 10am because it can take a while to rise.

I can’t believe it!

Period was due today and I thought I’d had all my usual symptoms so decided to do a cheap boots test just to confirm a BFN - I was gobsmacked to see the second line! The screen one is a super sensitive one so hoping this is all good and that it sticks. I’ve had absolutely no symptoms apart from a bit of weird twingy cramps the other day which may have been implantation pains I guess? I will test again on Friday and hope to see line progression - this is 14DPO but I do have a longer cycle so hoping all good.

Amazing!!!! Congratulations @oogumboogum 👏👏👏

You’ve done so well holding off @HampsterCheese90 ! Feeling nervous about testing tomorrow but at least I’ll know either way.

I managed to hold off from testing again this morning 😁 surprised myself 😂

Hope everyone else is doing okay x

Hope you can get some clarity with further tests @Thomsonetthompson.

Thanks @oogumboogum! Time seems to go so slowly when waiting to test doesn’t it.

oogumboogum · 23/01/2026 14:23

Sorry to hear it’s not good news @Thomsonetthompson - sending you a big virtual hug.

Hi @Lilothblos - we are the same amount of DPO, sending you all the good vibes!

I just feel like I’m out this month, no symptoms and I don’t feel any different to normal so I’m going to assume AF is coming on Wednesday and hold off testing til then (at least I’ll save some money ha - I’ve only got the expensive Clearblue tests in atm and don’t want to waste one on yet another BFN). My only sliver of hope is that I have never been pregnant so I guess there’s a chance that I don’t have symptoms/they don’t start til later because I just don’t know how my body would respond.

Thomsonetthompson · 23/01/2026 13:37

I'm hoping an HSG will either clear my tube or show everything's fine. I'm just worried that my ectopic scarred my tube and that's why I'm not conceiving now. IVF would definitely not be financially viable so hoping my tube's ok!

I’m sorry too @Thomsonetthompson I know you really wanted it this month.

Will you keep trying as you start investigations? I’ve known a few people get pregnant naturally when about to start IVF!

OP posts:
Lilothblos · 23/01/2026 09:51

I’m sorry @Thomsonetthompson that sounds so hard, thinking of you.

Thomsonetthompson · 23/01/2026 09:00

Negative for me at 11dpo. I'll test at 14dpo just in case and then when I get my period I'll have to contact my doctor to kickstart investigations.

We've been planning our lives around potential pregnancies for the last 18 months and I think I have to change my mindset and start assuming I won't have a baby next year. Do not recommend moving abroad and starting temporary contracts while TTC!

@HampsterCheese90 that’s impressive to hold out that long! We’ll be here for you in the meantime.
Hoping for a positive result for you tomorrow @Thomsonetthompson

I haven’t managed it yet, currently trying to convince myself not to test tomorrow 😂 really faint lines are so hard to compare.

Thomsonetthompson · 22/01/2026 09:04

That's definitely a line! I totally understand staying cautious but you should also feel free to celebrate. You're currently pregnant which is so exciting!

I'm 10dpo today so will test tomorrow I think. I prefer the not-knowing part to the post-test disappointment. And I'm absolutely terrified of not conceiving this month and having to start the expensive testing process.

HampsterCheese90 · 22/01/2026 09:03

I’ll try to hold out till Sunday to do the next test.

With my chemical I had no line progression so fingers crossed for a good line on Sunday. 12DPO.

I can’t have 2 chemicals in a row right 😬😬

Hand hold to everyone. The wait is so hard.

Lilothblos · 22/01/2026 07:55

@HampsterCheese90 I see a line too!! Crossing fingers.

I’m keen to join too, currently 8dpo and TTC a second baby. Hoping this is a lucky thread! Aiming to test on Sunday at 11dpo.

oogumboogum · 22/01/2026 07:32

HampsterCheese90 · 22/01/2026 07:11

GUYS

I caved and did a test. 9DPO I think I have a very faint BFP 🥹

Can’t get too excited yet. It might not stick, but there is hope 😁

I can see a line!

Prayers for all the potential October babies x
