TTC TWW August/September 2025

[Ec2808]

Starting this new thread to continue TTC TWW July 2025 thread ❤

Can't edit this.. Did they tell you what to expect on tests? Can it be false positive this much after ovulation?

@PumpkinSpicedLatte i was going to say the clearblue looks quite dark for 10dpo as they are lower sensitivity, but i looked back at my old pictures from a previous pregnancy and i had a very dark positive at 11dpo with that same clearblue test! So there’s a very good chance it’s a BFP 🥰 fingers crossed for you it gets darker 🤞🏼

@JupiterDaze thanks so much, that sounds really promising. I’ll keep you posted.
@Anya23 they advised we don’t test until 10th September (3 week wait) to be sure but that it’s always out the system by day 14 but can be earlier as some people metabolise it faster. Going to test tomorrow and the day after to see if it gets darker. Assuming it will get lighter if it is the trigger shot and darker if pregnant

@PumpkinSpicedLattethat looks positive 🥰
as for me 4dpo and on our way to our spa weekend 🥰 at least the first week will have passes quickly 🤣 next week will be more complicated to stay out of the bathroom and peeing on endless sticks 🤣 babydust to all 🥰

@JupiterDaze I’ve not really tracked this cycle either and also feel more relaxed! Hopefully it’s our month 🤞🏻

@HansBanans I feel like it definitely helps, both times when I conceived my daughters I had taken a more relaxed approach during those cycles. Obviously it’s all coincidental but better to be relaxed than stressed 🤣

I don’t know if anyone else does this after DTD but I always lay down and put my legs up with a pillow under my hips for at least 15-20 minutes, not glamorous after DTD I know but it’s never failed me with conceiving. Every single cycle where I’ve done that, I’ve become pregnant. Whether they were successful pregnancies or chemicals, it’s been 100% effective for me. Just wanted to give another tip for anyone that’s willing to try it 😅

I've heard that doesn't actually help but I'll try and do this 😂

@Anya23 yeah I also heard that too, but I have an awkwardly positioned cervix so thought I’d give it a try anyway and yeah it works 😂

@JupiterDaze @Anya23 I would try and do the leg thing too, when I had my IUI they got me to lay in the bed for 20 mins after and that was them putting the sperm directly into my uterus , so go for it!

Great, thanks! I know I did it when we were trying to conceive dd, but I don't remember if I actually did it in the cycle that was successful🤔will add it to the list this time

Still no AF (CD 34 now) and still BFNs. GP next week I think if AF is still a no show as I'm still having symptoms.

I think AF finally showed her face. Try again next cycle!

Good luck!

Just out of curiosity - royal jelly is quite popular in Hungary for couples ttc, many have claimed to fall pregnant in a couple of months after starting to take it. Is it popular in the UK? I'm checking out what supplements to take if we don't conceive this year

@Anya23 do you take prenatal vitamins? When I had my daughter with my ex husband, I took Pregencare and omega pills and it worked, and we’ve done it this time but obvs in the TWW currently. Also 5mg folic acid (prescribed)

Yes, I take prenatal vitamins for now, and vitamin E because I had a few days of spotting before AF for a few months which is a sign of low progesterone apparently, but I'm still breastfeeding so I think that's why. We'll stop breastfeeding this month as dd isn't that interested in it anymore, and I also feel ready to stop 😄 with dd one month of prenatal was enough to conceive, but we had more opportunities to dtd. By the time I ordered other supplements as well I was already pregnant so I don't know if they would actually help

I normally lay for 10 minutes of so after, been taking prenatal vitamins and we dtd every other day through the fertile week... but I do think im ovulating later and we've missed it a few times. My lh peak was Friday and no temp rise yet. Dp is back tonight so will dtd today but think we're out. Took 3/4 cycle to concieve the last 2 times so on cycle 4 of actively trying now and not surprised on how long its taking. I also won't count this month as dp has been away.

@HansBanans isn't it funny how different everyone is! I feel much more relaxed when im tracking and know what's going on!

Sorry to everyone who's AF has appeared now

@Kittybway I’m becoming increasingly convinced I’m having an anovulatory cycle 🙈 have had the odd twinge around the time I think I’d ovulate, but just didn’t feel like I normally do around ovulation if that makes sense? Guess we will just need to wait and see!

Really really light spotting just started, so I guess I'm fully out.. It's a bummer though because I thought my cycles have gotten better now, but I'm not expecting AF until Wednesday, so I'll have 2-3 days of spotting again.. Hopefully once breastfeeding has stopped this will normalise

@HansBanansyou’re tracking yout temps with fitbit right? Did you have a temp shift?

@Ec2808 yeah I’ve had a temp shift yesterday which has been sustained today. I ran my Fitbit metrics through ChatGPT as well but those don’t support ovulation having happened. Im getting bloods done this week at the docs to check for ovulation amongst other things so will see what comes back from that I suppose. How is your spa break?

Oh really i thought if temp rose for 3 days that confirms ovulation happened ? We just back home it was lovely had a great time 🥰🥰

@Ec2808 if it stays elevated tomorrow then FF will confirm it I suppose, but my chart is very Rocky Mountain-ish this cycle 😕 ah fab, glad you had a great time xx

I feel the same about mine tbh it took 4days after positive opk for it to go up 😕🤷🏻‍♀️ thank youu 🥰🥰

This is mine here with rhr overlay. Like wtf even is that 🤣 also had sore boobs prior to the suggested ovulation day as well which isn’t the norm for me either
