TTC TWW July 2025

[Ec2808]

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..😕

Well I'm due on in 4 days so F knows lol. I vary generally between 28 - 35 days though and my last cycle was 31 days so who knows when AF will appear XD

@rainbowsnack did you test again today?

No, currently only have one test left and don't want to waste them

@rainbowsnack I wish I had your willpower! Fingers crossed you get your positive and AF doesn’t show 🤞🏻🙂

I did another OPK and it’s dropped down to 0.39 ☹️

In fairness, I'm about to order more, I just want to wait until they arrive 😂plus I've had some MCs in the past so I don't want to get my hopes too high.

@rainbowsnack sorry to hear about your losses 😢 fingers crossed for a sticky little baby 🤞🏻🥰

Almost fell off the loo getting a proper positive today - which is off as yesterday I had such bad right hand side pain thought I have ovulated then.
also no ewcm now !! Stopped 2 days ago, which slight concern as I thought it helped the swimmers reach the goal - now they are going to have to work harder lol -
after dtd 5 days straight because I thought I had ovulated- now going to have to pounce on him again- I’ll pretend it’s another honeymoon 😂

@Tes004 do you have any fertility lubricant that you could use to help the swimmers along? Have fun reenacting the honeymoon! 🤣

Omg soo excited all these peaks at the moment ! Hope mine isn’t too far away 🤣🤣🤣 think going to try the smep method this month 🤣🤞🏻

Hey sorry again for not replying ladies, been a whirlwind week! And just to add even more shit into the mix (literally) my 15 month old woke up with vomiting and diarrhoea this morning 🫠 poor little thing.

I’ve started getting EWCM today as well, currently CD7, so I’m worried about getting ill myself when it’s peak time 😭😂 I usually get ewcm for about 4 days or so before ovulating so hopefully everything will work out ok 🤞🏼

@Ec2808 my evening opk was very disappointing, didn’t even bother measuring it ☹️ how does smep work again?

@JupiterDaze oh no poor little one, hope they feel better again soon! Hopefully you don’t catch it and can have a successful few days of trying 🤞🏻

@HansBanansoh no really ?? Hopefully tomorrow then 😕😕 did you drink a lot today? I’m sure you’re peak is not far away..
smep they say to dtd from cd8 every two days and once you get your peak you dtd on peak day ovulation day and the day after..then you take a break one day and dtd again 🤣🤣🤞🏻

@Ec2808 not really, been running around daft after a 2 year old more than anything ☹️ hopefully tomorrow 🤞🏻 I said to DP that I have this weird feeling my left ovary doesn’t work. I know I probably sound ridiculous, but one month I get more obvious symptoms like one sided pain and increased libido and then the next month I get next to no symptoms 😅 last month was definitely the right hand side as I felt the pain and had increased libido but nothing anywhere near as obvious this month. I had a miscarriage about 5 years ago and at the time she couldn’t find my left ovary, although when I was pregnant they confirmed it was present, but I’ve just got this sneaking suspicion something is wrong with the left one. I’m still tracking bbt so that’ll be able to confirm whether I ovulate this cycle if not I guess! Hopefully I’m just being silly

Oh that’s a lot of DTD’ing, don’t fancy getting a torch shone in my face every other day 🤣

@HansBanansoh i understand LO is also into everything at the moment she’s 14 months days are wild here 🤣🤣 i understand that completely ! We’ve been trying 6 months had my chemical after first try in march and since then i think i’m broken or something is wrong.. maybe pcos or thyroid problem…said to Dh if it doesn’t work this month going to get some tests done just don’t understand because had my DD 14 months ago and never had issues before so it’s really hard…even worse after loss i find tbh. So sorry you had to go through that also! I know it sounds silly and i hate hearing it too but try to relax i’m sure we’re both just getting in our heads and everything is fine! ❤️❤️

@Ec2808 I mentioned doing some tests to DP and he isn’t for it. He thinks I just need to relax, but it’s easier said than done 🫣

@HansBanansoh I know! I’m the worst at being patient and not stressing 🙄🙄

@HansBanans thank you! That’s such a coincidence about your left ovary I have the same feeling! Whenever I’ve had scans they’ve always struggled to find it, it really hurts when they look at the left when they do internal scans, I always have cysts just on my left side, whenever I ovulate from the left it’s very painful, and both my girls were conceived from my right ovary so I’m also convinced my left ovary is my ‘bad’ side 😅 sorry if you’ve already said, I skimmed the messages from when I was last on, what CD are you now?

@Ec2808 definitely recommend getting your thyroid checked! Never had a thyroid problem before but had it checked a few months ago and I had developed an under active thyroid, which apparently can happen after having a baby. How have you been the past few days?

@JupiterDazei’ve never really had a problem with it but i remember after having DS 9 years ago i had a thyroid problem that resolved on its own that’s why i think it might me back again will definitely get it checked…❤️

@Ec2808 it’s mad how ttc completely changes these things, im usually cool as a cucumber 😂 just got up and did an opk and its peak but obviously very concentrated urine, so won’t take it as accurate until it stays high later 🤞🏻 my bbt has been absolutely useless this month, all over the place. FF is trying to tell me I’m 4dpo based on my temps and I had an absolutely meltdown as we only ttc 5 days prior to that and then twice yesterday 😂 but think it’s more likely I’m about to ovulate today/tomorrow based on the opks (and assuming lefty works!)

@JupiterDaze I remember asking if they could see it and if it was ok when I was pregnant and the sonographer looked at me like I was mental 😂 hopefully there’s nothing wrong with them and we are just more sensitive on one side 🤞🏻 I’m CD16 today

Thinking about it, I’m usually a 30-33 day cycle, I ovulated early last month and had a 28 day cycle so getting a peak around now does make more sense for me in terms of my usual cycle length

@HansBanansseeee i told youuu 😍😍 aaaah exciting times!! I know same I’m usually soo chill too but not anymore 🤣🤣 crazy lady over here 🤣 i had another flashing smiley this morning and makes sense yesterday had a rise in bbt followed by a sharp dip this morning last 3 cycles i ovulated 2-3days after the dip to the lowest point so should get a static smiley tomorrow or day after, that means we’re most likely similar cycles for the tww which is good 🤣🤣🤞🏻 what does your chart look like do you mind sharing?

@Ec2808 my chart is an absolute disaster 😂 I think the really low dip was skewing it but it’s taken the estimated ovulation off when I’ve put the peak test in. It will be good to have a TWW buddy 🥰

Also my RHR is completely out of whack this cycle. Much higher than normal from the get go so don’t feel like that’s a reliable indicator of anything this cycle

Oh i think your chart looks great you mist get a dip when you enter your fertile window also which is quite practical when ttc 🤣 here’s mine but i also have a cold so maybe the very high temp yesterday was because of that 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 oh yes here’s hoping!!🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

My rhr is also all over the place 🤣

Had more of that weird CM yesterday. Soooooo tempted to take another test 😂
