Trying to Conceive August 2025

[tryingforbaby3]

Hi everyone,
I’m just posting a thread to help with the two week wait (TWW). I have an 8 year old son and a 4 year old daughter and now hubby and I are trying for number 3.
I got a positive ovulation test yesterday morning (Peak - static smiley on clear blue digital ovulation kit) and by dinner time the peak was gone. I had some serious cramping around 5:30pm last night (which could have been ovulation?) but also some cramping when I woke up this morning.
Today is either ovulation or 1 day past ovulation (DPO)
Just wanted to start a comment stream for other women trying to conceive this month for symptom spotting and just general support during this time before hopefully getting a positive pregnancy test! Fingers crossed for everyone 🥰

Oh and hubby and I did the deed Monday early hours of the morning and yesterday (peak day) around 2pm, so I think we caught it

Hi 😊 I’m either 4 or 5 dpo today. I decided to be more relaxed about ttc this month. I did one LH test when I got ovulation pains and it was positive. Luckily had dtd the 2 days before that and managed too one day after peak too. Every month I’m sure I’m pregnant so trying not to symptom spot this month. (Although I already am 🤣)

Hiya can I join, nice to have support in the ttc journey. I've a 4 month old, first month trying since she was born so I'm trying again quite early but for special reasons. We lost our twin sons at birth 20 months ago. It was very traumatising as one baby was stillborn and our other twin died in the NICU 4 days later. I'm hoping for three children so for me pregnancy and ttc is quite traumatic. And I'd like to have our little family so we can move forward and enjoy them.

Im 8dpo today. Negative test. Im thinking I'm out this month as I've always tested positive at 8dpo other times. Wishing you all luck this tww.

Hiya! We are currently trying to conceive our second, having had a girl in March 2022 and a miscarriage in November 2024. Been trying since January and no luck again yet. Currently 4dpo and managed to time things well in the lead up to ovulation, including Friday and Saturday morning so hoping things happen for us this month!

Fingers crossed for everyone waiting

Good luck!!!! Yeah I think relaxing as much as possible helps massively. When will you test? Or will you wait until you Miss your period? 😊

Don’t say that yet! You’re not out until the ugly period rears her head! What are your symptoms?

This sounds promising! It’s the worst waiting isn’t it? I’ve had a few symptoms but I think I’m only 2-3 DPO. Last night was a crazy vivid dream/nightmare. Very gassy and tired already

@tryingforbaby3 thank you and good luck
to you too. Period is due Tuesday so I’m hopefully going to hold out until Wednesday. I’m 50/50 between being convinced this is my month and telling myself to be rational 🤣 how about you, have you got a test day in mind? X

Ohhh what are your symptoms? Haha I know what you mean, not wanting to get your hopes up but silently wondering if you are! Not too long to wait though for you 😊 well my period isn’t due until next Sunday 😭 so I’ve got a good 4 or so days before I start thinking about testing, even though I’ve got some period type cramping today (implantation?). But who knows.

No AF for me yet. My temp dropped yesterday but today has gone back up and that’s very odd for me. Normally it drops lower and lower in the days before AF. Sorry if tmi but discharge is unusual for me too for this stage in my cycle it’s almost like ewcm. Going to test in the morning I think. Fingers crossed it was implantation cramping for you 🤞 how are you feeling today? Xx
