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 ah enjoy your day 😊 I’ve got to take my eldest to a birthday party today and it’s outside, it’s going to be 30 degrees today 🥲 not looking forward to it but that’ll distract me too from wasting tests when I know they’ll be negative 😂

@HansBanans I know exactly what you mean! Knowing AF is coming but it’s taking ages to show up, you just want it to start already! Oooh I’ve never heard of that about cinnamon! I sometimes put it in porridge but to be honest I’ve never been a massive fan of it.. there’s another one about pomegranate juice apparently it helps blood flow to the uterus that helps with the lining grow and implantation, whenever I’ve had a successful pregnancy I drank it during the TWW but this cycle I haven’t so we’ll see 👀

@JupiterDazeawk thanks soo much! You try to have fun too! It’s not that hot here about 26 so still tolerable 🤣🤣 but be glad when we get back tonight as I didn’t sleep well last night was up at 4:30 🤣🤣
i know the feeling exactly how i feal at the moment 🤣🤣

@JupiterDaze ooh, the porridge is a good idea, thanks! And now I’ll be adding pomegranate juice to the shopping list for the tww 🤞🏻

Hey ladies! Just catching up - @Ec2808 def something there on the early morning test! It’s still so early and lots of people don’t even get a shadow at 9DPO right?

sorry to hear about AF arriving for some.

@HansBanans i have actually been taking cinnamon a little while back and really helped to regulate my cycles!! I haven’t taken it for a while as ran out but you reminded me of it so will do it again. I usually forget if it’s something I have to ‘add’ to food etc so been taking Organic Burst cinnamon capsules - found them very good

@Shizwhizz how exciting about your upcoming wedding! Fingers crossed AF stays away!

@GreenApple121 that sounds like a waistline friendly option! I’ll get those ordered, thank you 😊

AF has now fully made her appearance for me so cycle #4 begins! Expecting my fertile window to start 23/24 of this month, so hoping there isn’t another mini heatwave at that time 🤞🏻

@HansBanans ahh sorry to hear that! How you feeling about it?
sorry if you mentioned before but my memory is terrible - how long have you been ttc?

@GreenApple121 I’m feeling ok about it as was expecting it based on bbt gradually dropping over the past couple of days, so it’s not been a total shock if you get me. We’ve been trying for about 3 months now after getting my hormonal coil removed. I read somewhere that it can take 3-4 cycles on average to catch after getting it removed so hopefully this cycle is my cycle 🤞🏻

@HansBanans ah sorry AF has arrived but hopefully this cycle will be your cycle 🤞🏼 when I drank the pomegranate juice I started it from ovulation to when I got my BFP, one glass a day. No idea if it actually helped but no harm in trying 😂

I did 2 cheapies and a boots early test just now all from the same urine sample. There’s shadows on all of them but they’re so faint they’re probably just indents. I am only 7dpo so I doubt they’re actual lines

🤞🏻 thanks I’ll definitely be trying that

if there’s a shadow on all of them then here’s hoping it’s the start of your BFP 🥰

Did these just now, but the clearblue one looks like the evap line you get but it came up after a couple minutes? Confusing 🫤

@JupiterDazethis is exactly like mine this morning 😩😩 soo annoying

It’s my first cycle TTC and I’m 10ish DPO (didn’t track properly as didn’t want to drive myself mad this early on) and I’ve got some cramps this evening as well as a weird heavy feeling. Trying not to get my hopes up and don’t want to test, will have to wait and see if my period arrives end of this week. Every littler twinge in my body I’m thinking is this it happening?!

How are we all doing today ladies? I know there are quite a few in that early/mid testing phase. Any updates? On my end still very much stark white tests but my books were quite itchy yesterday which has never happened. 10DPO though with no signs of a BFP so there is a part of me that's starting to get a little down - I know it's still early though. Sending baby dust to everyone!

@PearOpali’m very sad today also 10dpo and bfn 😔 my chart looks soo promising and thiught i had the start of something yesterday obviously not 😭😭
baby dust to everyone

BFN for me too but I’m still very early, 8dpo. Hoping I have the willpower to wait till tomorrow to test again

I also caved yesterday 6dpo and unsurprisingly bfn. Its still stupidly early days but still feels like a punch in the gut 😕. I'm sorry about your bfn but there's still time for it to be positive. Keep your hopes up and test again tomorrow

It’s soo heartbreaking 😔😔 was soo hopeful too soo sorry for all your bfns! Sending you all hugs!!

Big hugs all round for the BFNs, still early days for everyone so there’s plenty time still. Amazing willpower @kw1091! I was obsessively testing from about 5/6dpo up until AF showed 😂

Ah @Ec2808 Im soooo sorry to hear test was negative! So gutted for you as things looked really promising 😔

sorry to hear of negative tests guys - so disheartening! Still quite early though right? @PearOpal @JupiterDaze

I still Haven’t tested - feel like all my luteral phase symptoms are the same as in normal cycles 😕 Getting a bit down about it

@GreenApple121i know all i’ve done is cry all morning 😔 in such a state 😭

@GreenApple121sending you hugs!! Xx

Just wanted to send loads of luck to everyone TTC. Someone close to me is going through it right now, it's made me remember how much of a rollercoaster it can be.

There’s so much info online these days, it can get a bit overwhelming and leave you feeling more confused than when you started.

If it all gets too much, don’t be afraid to lean on friends, family, or even get a bit of professional help—it really does make a difference. I remember feeling like it would never happen for me, but things worked out in the end, even when I least expected it.

Rooting for you all, good luck 🍀

just started TTC, this is our second and we have a 5 year old. Didn’t TTC with our first but I was 24 when I caught. Not sure what to expect. Last month I practiced with easy at home strips and I got a peak on CD19, this month I peaked at CD15. It was my first test and I thought omg. Tested again at midnight and it was super strong. It was so hot last night but we got the deed done 😅 might go again tonight so atleast I have two days.
