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..😕

@Ec2808 it’s annoying that pregnancy symptoms are the same as PMS symptoms 😂 I had heightened sense of smell in the TWW in my second daughter’s pregnancy and I was like hmm I think I’m pregnant, at 8dpo took a test and boom BFP 😂 that has been the only actual pregnancy symptom I’ve ever had!
Have you done another test this evening or waiting?

@JupiterDazeI know it’s soo annoying and i’m trying soo hard this cycle to ignore them all 🤣 bloody progesterone 🤣 with my daughter it was frequent urination but only git a positive 3 days after that 🤣 i actually did because i’m also tracking Lh and i have a serious addiction 🤣 I will attach pictures so you all can squint with me 🤣🤣🤞🏻✨

@Ec2808 ooh I think I can see something 🤞🏼 even the LH is quite dark for that point in your cycle! The picture quality is always shocking once it gets uploaded though, any time I’ve posted faint positive pictures on here I’m like well now even I can’t see the line anymore because of the quality degradation 😂
I have an addiction to testing as well I can’t help myself, I end up testing multiple times a day.. I have a huge stash of tests waiting for when I’m 8dpo+ 😂

@JupiterDaze🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 omg i really hope soo! Really nervous tbh 🥹 i know i’m the same on my ohone i can literally see « something « and then i’m just like what?? Where did it go??🤣 the lh was 0.5 on Premom which I normally dont have until day before ovulation 🤣🤣 oh i know what you mean it’s like everytime i pee i use a stick 🤣🤣🤣 i’m terrible 🤣🤣

@Ec2808I feel like I can see something too 🤞🏻

@HansBanansreally hope soo ..a bit stressed it won’t increase again and just an evap or something 😕🤞🏻

@Ec2808 Ahh keeping fingers crossed for you!! The LH strips look super strong lines for late in your cycle?! I think that can be a good sign right?

Have had an awful night’s sleep as the wee one didn’t sleep too great, so haven’t managed to get an accurate BBT reading but RHR and skin temp are right down according to my Fitbit. Decided to save myself the disappointment and didn’t test, I think AF will appear today

@GreenApple121 that's what I thought too..had a sharp rise in my temp this morning after my dip yesterday but test still looks the same this morning starting to get worried if it was anything that it's another chemical 😔I also read it's a good sign but don't know now..
@HansBanans also didn't sleep well very anxious 😔soo sorry to read this hope you're wrong tho...sending hugs!!

@Ec2808 the strong LH strip does seem to be a good sign based on pregnancy tiktok! I’m keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏻 it’s still early days so still time for the tests to darken 😊 I’m feeling quite calm about it now although I was a bit sad earlier in the week. I keep reminding myself it’s only month 3 and it can take up to 12 months so they say. I think the fact that we caught first time with our first makes that all seem a bit strange tho 😂

@HansBanans really hope soo 🙁it's already cycle 5 for us plus had the chemical first month soo makes it even sadder in a way 🙁totally get that with your first I was the same and I'm only 32 soo really don't get it..
It's great that you're calm & positive! I wish I could be like that 😂

@Ec2808 I get you on the age thing as I’m 31, but do have a family history of premature menopause (mid to late 30s), so if this goes on for a few more months I’m definitely not going to be calm and positive 🤣

@HansBanans you sound just like me hahaha I swear after 3 months I kept telling DH that i'm broken & there's something wrong 😂

@Ec2808 as time goes on it’s easy to start to feel that way for sure! We just need to remember our bodies have done this before so they can do it again!

@HansBanans you are soo right! thank you for this! ❤

What dpo is everyone now?
I’m about 5/6dpo, definitely feels like it’s dragging now 😩 I wish I could wait till I’m at least 9dpo to test but I know I’m going to start sooner than that 😂

@JupiterDaze I’m 13dpo. I know the feeling, I’m sure I did my first test this cycle at about 5/6 dpo even though I knew there would be nothing there

@JupiterDaze I'm 8dpo today and also feel like it's dragging 😂

I'm the same as you 5/6dpo. Really struggling not to symptom spot but Ive ordered some cheaper tests so will try to gold off testing until day 10. But I have a feeling I'll succumb at day 8 @JupiterDaze

@HansBanans yeah I just did a test and I feel even more delusional because I’m like I swear I can see a shadow of a line but I know it’s 99% not a positive because it’s too early 😩 when is your AF due? My luteal phase is around 12/13 days so I’m halfway there

@Ec2808 did you test today 🤪

@Howtonamechange yeah i always tell myself I’ll try and wait until I’m about 10dpo but that never ever happens 🙃

This is the test I took today, took the picture at 5 minutes. I know the quality will be so bad once uploaded so I’m expecting you all to say nope nothing 😂

@JupiterDazeI feel like I can see what you’re seeing, but not sure if it’s an indent line or the start of something. Hopefully it’s the start of something 🤞🏻 I’m due on sometime between now and Sunday I think depending on which app I look at

@JupiterDazeof course I did 🤣 wasn’t convinced this morning could see something but definitely not convinced yet now DH has sent me a picture of my test and definitely something there but these are notorious for evaps 😩 i think it’s just rude tbh 🤣

@JupiterDaze I can see it too!!! fingers crossed

@Ec2808my experience of the Clearblue evaps is that they are a really thin line to one side, yours looks like it’s all the same colour across the width of the band and actually looks a little like the early positive I got when I was pregnant with my son 🤞🏻

@HansBanans really? did it dry slightly darker? trying to protect my heart because don't want to set myself up for another disappointment if I get excited 😕
