Morning girls, that’s it really, looking for 2WW buddies to get through the longest part of the ttc cycles !
I’m 1DPO, cycle 8 for a first baby 🀞🏼

Thanks @Lh4503 it’s good to know it can show up differently. LH is still low this morning but BBT has dipped -0.9 which is typical of ovulation being imminent for me. Hoping I get my peak today or tomorrow 🀞

WF1990 · 15/08/2025 08:02

@EllieWalesim predicting a peak this evening for you !! 🀞🏼
2 dpo over here and taking my b6 religiously, and it makes me so gassy 🀣 but I’ve read on MN that it lengthened luteal phase for so many women.and if not, it helps with pms! Mine is really bad so that would be a win! I have a busy week next week and we’re away next weekend which will help me not focus so much on then2ww !

How is everyone doing?!

8dpo here, nothing major to report had the tiniest bit of stretchy CM this morning that was slightly browny so im hoping that's related to implantation 🀞 and not spotting starting! I felt a bit delulu yesterday looked, started fearing the negative pregnancy test πŸ™ˆ but feeling a little better today so trying to stay positive!!

How is everyone else? Hope your all holding up OK!

EllieWales · 17/08/2025 10:19

Morning ladies, brown CM is positive at this stage @Lh4503 glad you’re feeling better today, you’re in the worst stage of the TWW but you’ll have your answer soon!

@WF1990 good that you’re busy it deffo helps to pass the time and hoping the gassiness had settled, I’ve never taken them but noted for future reference 🀣 not long until your progesterone test now is it? A few days?

I don’t know what’s going on with me πŸ™ˆ today is CD14, bbt is still low, EWCM has gone and still no LH surge. It’s difficult to DTD over the weekend with 2 kids around who never give us any space so I was really hoping to have had my peak by now. Going to have to try and DTD at some point again over the next day to try and get good coverage I think

WF1990 · 17/08/2025 14:02

hey girls,
@EllieWaleswould it be possible that you may have missed the peak ? How long are your cycles normally ? I usually ovulate day 20 odd and I have a 30 day cycle, there’s no exact rule that you have to ovulate on day 14 so keep on testing !!!

@Lh4503this definitely sounds promising !!! 🀞🏼

I just had a busy weekend, I’m 4DPO and my progesterone test is on Wednesday ! It looks like the b6 is really helping with my pms which is a great thing ! No sore boobs or back ache so far and it usually starts as soon as I ovulate so let’s hope the progesterone test is good too ..!

EllieWales · 17/08/2025 16:31

@WF1990 I usually ovulate around CD12-14 with a 28 day cycle so I expected it to fall today at the latest but still no rise in LH so looks like it will be late this month. I’ve tested twice a day for the last few days so I don’t think I’ve missed it but with it being my first time using them I don’t know how quickly my surge would’ve came and went if that makes sense. I’ll test LH again this evening before bed and see what BBT is in the morning. Feel like I’m in the TWW already but it hasn’t even started 🀣 help

Good news it’s helping with PMS and keeping my fingers crossed for your test on Wednesday. Do you know when you can expect your results?

MegLS · 17/08/2025 21:41

Hi, I was on here last month when AF very kindly joined me on my honeymoon, but back now and am currently 1dpo. Think we timed things much better this month so have more hope than I did last month as I’d been away for work and missed my peak, this will be our third month of trying. Sending baby dust to everyone and keeping my fingers crossed for lots of BFPs!

WF1990 · 18/08/2025 07:57

@MegLSfingers crossed !! You’re not far behind me! Praying for our BPFs !

@EllieWalesarrrrg !! Let me know !!! This is such a mindf*ck ! I remember cycle 3 of ttc (I think I’m cycle 9/10 now) I ovulated on day 27 JUST BECAUSE 🀣 and I used so many OPKS I wanted to cry.
5 dpo over here ! Obviously nothing to report ! Not even sore boobs !
test is on Weds and I usually get the results a few hours later with my app because it’s the hospital, pretty quick !

I shall let you all know.

@Lh4503how are you feeling ??

OP posts:
EllieWales · 18/08/2025 07:57

Hi @MegLS hope you had a lovely time on your honeymoon and AF didn’t get in the way too much, AF knows how to pick her times 😩 hoping the TWW isn’t too painful for you and you get your BFP at the end of it 🀞

I think I might be 1 dpo today but I don’t really know, BBT is up and my boobs were sore when running this morning. I had some ovulation type pinchy twingey feelings yesterday as well but still no LH surge and starting to think I missed my peak..

WF1990 · 18/08/2025 07:58

@EllieWalesour posts crossed !
I think the peak isn’t important if you DTD ! Maybe DTD tonight in case ?

OP posts:
EllieWales · 18/08/2025 08:00

@WF1990 I missed your post there, feels like a BFN every single time 🀣 omg day 27 is wild, why are we like this??? Good luck with your test on Wednesday.

Hope everyone’s doing well 😊

WF1990 · 18/08/2025 08:06

@EllieWalesand now we’re entering our crazy phase 🀣 although I feel so relaxed so far I’ve not been thinking about it too much but it’s probs because it’s been 5 days 🀣 if my progesterone is too low on Weds I won’t even need to test as I’ll know I wouldn’t be able to maintain a pregnancy !

OP posts:
Lh4503 · 18/08/2025 14:37

Hi all, been away this weekend for my little ones birthday so that took my mind off things.

@WF1990 Hoping all goes well with your test this week!

Im feeling okay, ive not even had sore boobs this time and they usually start pretty much straight after ovulation, had very minimal symptoms this TWW only the tiny amount of brown CM that has now stopped and today some light cramping. I'm torn wether to just test tomorrow (10dpo) or wait a little longer πŸ™ˆ

Hope everyone else in the TWW is doing okay and getting through it without feeling delulu πŸ˜„

WF1990 · 18/08/2025 14:38

@Lh4503i have my fingers and toes crossed for you !!!! 🀞🏼

OP posts:
EllieWales · 18/08/2025 15:52

@WF1990 my LH has started to surge now so the TWW hasn’t even started 😭 I feel crazy already πŸ˜… glad that you feel relaxed!

@Lh4503 a lot of people say the time they didn’t get any symptoms was the time they actually conceived there’s no telling πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ you’re doing so well for getting to 10po without testing by my standards 🀣 see how you feel in the morning

Lh4503 · 18/08/2025 16:09

@EllieWales Awwww no, I feel your pain my ovulation was later this month so it's felt extremely long!! Hoping it goes faster for you now!

Yes and my BBT dipped then went right up today so im hoping it stays up and this is the month 🀞🀞

EllieWales · 18/08/2025 20:09

I thought the LH peak was coming but it’s going back down now anyone have any experience of this πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ I’ve tested every few hours today to try and catch it surely I can’t have missed it??

Anyone just started their dreaded 2WW ? πŸ‘€πŸ‘‹πŸΌ
WF1990 · 18/08/2025 20:21

@EllieWalesi would definitely test until day 20 I know you might feel crazy though the month it happened to me I was so mad !! Or maybe just DTD ? Or you just missed it ?
another possibility: what looks like a peak for you could be 0.5 instead of like 1.2. ?

@Lh4503ypure so brave, @EllieWalesand I would have used 5 clear blues and 2 FRERS by then 🀣

OP posts:
Lh4503 · 18/08/2025 20:22

@EllieWales Yes mine did the same this month. Though I was unwell when I normally peak, so I think my body delayed it. But I was testing for days 😩 eventually got the peak. I cant see how you would have missed it as you have tested at least twice a day? It wouldn't have happened earlier?

WF1990 · 18/08/2025 20:22

Ok so @EllieWalesI had a good look at your tests and I think you’re rising and the peak will be in the next few days!

OP posts:
Lh4503 · 18/08/2025 20:26

@WF1990 well last time I waited until I think it was 12DPO but I have a feeling I'll test tomorrow, you two have been a bad influence on me πŸ˜†

WF1990 · 18/08/2025 20:30

@Lh4503 I need to channel you this month and not test early 🀣 but I have this test on Weds for the progesterone, I’ll be so gutted if it’s still on the lower side !
I was on 18 nmol/L ideally I need to be on 30+ . I pray that the b6 works ! One great thing though is that so far I don’t have any pms symptoms which is so rare for me. I always thought it was normal to feel insane from like 3dpo but apparently it’s a sign of low PG cause you’re supposed to have pms towards the end of the luteal phase only !

OP posts:
EllieWales · 18/08/2025 20:37

Thanks ladies, I was expecting to see a clear rise and fall and that was it @Lh4503good to know I’m not alone in LH doing funny things this month! I can’t have missed it with all the tests I’ve done 🀣 I’ll test again tomorrow and see what BBT says. I haven’t been unwell or anything that would throw this cycle off but I do drink a lot of fluids, I wonder if that’s impacting the tests. Let us know how you get on if you do test keeping everything crossed and hoping to start seeing some squinters on here soon!

@WF1990 we would have πŸ˜… we have no control. Costs a bloody fortune 🀣 that’s positive about the lack of PMS symptoms, I’m really hoping you get the results you want

WF1990 · 18/08/2025 20:40

Here’s mine from last month ! You can see it did fluctuate like yours before a peak xxx

@WF1990 keeping everything crossed that your PG is fine 🀞definitely sounds like the b6 is doing something so thats positive!

I've got my bloods tomorrow, hope they manage to do it okay and I dont end up bruised πŸ™

@EllieWales hopefully your LH starts to rise soon! It's confusing and stressful especially now really knowing where you are in the cycle. I swear our bodies just like to play games with us!
