TTC TWW August/September 2025

[Ec2808]

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

Hi ladies - @fullofhope2024 I am also waiting for ovulation during the next few days .. my luteal phase seems to be 12 days which I worry is not long enough but who knows - been bbt this month so keen to see if I have the temp shift etc

I really dread the coming 2 weeks - I turn slightly mental and start blaming myself for it not working properly ..

@Ec2808 how are you feeling ? Have you stepped away from line comparisons yet ??

@Tes00412 days luteal phase is great and normal don’t worry about that! ☺️ don’t be too hard on yourself please 🙏🏻 i feel normal don’t really have any symptoms other than cramps now and again…i have been tracking line progression just too calm myself…had blood drawn at 16dpo came back 717iu/l and went back at 20dpo yesterday and level was 3598…but still will only be happy if i see a little bean at my 6week scan 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Ec2808 ah how exciting 🥰 yeah that’s exactly what I intend to do, I could do with losing a bit of weight so I’m focusing on that and making sure I take my supplements and thyroid medication, sometimes I forget 😅 my 4 year old has started school now and we walk there every day so I’m doing about 15k steps a day now, I’ve already managed to lose a few pounds. I’m going to try and not use OPKs this cycle and just go off my body’s signals like ewcm and temps, I feel like that will reduce a little bit of the stress. Hopefully this month will be my time 🤞🏼

@fullofhope2024 @Tes004 I’m also due to ovulate within the next few days, I try to do every other day dtd as I feel every day of the fertile window is just too much 😬 it’s not been a problem for me with conceiving in the past so I stick by that plan. My luteal phase is also 12-13 days at the moment, I don’t think the length of the luteal phase is a problem in itself though, unless it’s 10 days or less. I’m really hoping we all get our BFPs this month 😭 I say this every month, and I never stick to it, but I hope I can wait as long as possible before testing 😂

@JupiterDazethat’s great are you taking any other supplements like prenatals follic acid omega3 or Q10 i really think the Q10 and omega 3 helped me because after 3 months of taking them it finally worked! Also reducing stress! That’s the biggest one in my opinion and the hardest one i know, but really ! Getting all those steps in is great you should be really proud of yourself 🥰 fingers crossed to al you lovely ladies !! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Ec2808 thank you ☺️ these are all the supplements I take, and individually as well not as a multivitamin! 😂 I like to get the maximum dosage so that’s why I take them separately. I have a lot of daily reminders on my phone because of them though 😂

Vitamin C
Iron
Omega 3
Garlic
Vitamin B complex
Vitamin D
Folic acid
Magnesium
Zinc
CoQ10

@JupiterDazeoh my goodness !!! O can’t even imagine the reminders!🤣🤣 but that’s amazing 😍👍🏻 you’re doing everything right!!🫶🏻

@Tes004 @JupiterDaze fingers crossed it’s a quick two weeks ahead. I feel I will get my peak tonight and have been trying every other day as every day is just too much pressure for us.

Well I'm now 5dpo and sleeplessness just started, like in the last cycle.. I know it's crazy but I feel like this wasn't our cycle again lol, but I'm gonna test anyway next Monday/Tuesday

@Anya23 I get insomnia in the tww as well, it’s very frustrating

@HansBanansI never had it before ttc, it's so frustrating 😂

I’m currently experiencing very sharp pains in lower abdomen- normal? According to app I’m 8 dpo

Hi all,

Im 14dpo but I've had IVF (not sure if anyone else is in the same boat) I'm trying for baby no 2, I have a 1.5 year old (also by IVF).

I got a vvvvvvvvvv faint positive last night, I've obviosuly had a long and hard road with fertility and conception so I am really cautious to get excited especially as it's so faint. Not sure what my goal here is here really other than to get that off my chest!

I really wish everyone the best of luck!!

xx

I'm on cycle day 8 and due to ovulate in a week. This evening I've had some brown spotting which has just turned red. I never spot like this mid cycle, has it happened to anyone else? Any idea what it could be? I'm a bit worried now

I thought I was 8dpo today. But this isn’t even faint. The most I can be is 10dpo. And we’d just decided to take a break from all of it, including the forum, to heal from our recurrent losses and to sell the house.
But I couldn’t stop eating yesterday and was craving orange juice the day before like crazy. Now I’m scared for another loss or stress whilst we move!

Fingers crossed for a sticky bean!

@Vil this is exciting on the v faint positive. Of course natural to be cautious. Keep us updated how things are going.

@summertime94 I’m not sure I’m afraid. Could it be ovulation spotting?

@EmPeEffingers crossed to you too!!

@Vil I'm new to this thread and in the same boat! Currently on 2nd cycle of Letrozole following 3 chemical pregnancies and 2 miscarriages. Took a test this morning (CD28) which in theory should be 12 or 13dpo but it's SOOOOOO faint! Like not enough that I feel I can really trust it.

Then there's the inner battle that if I do trust it, it's so faint at 13dpo is it even going to progress?

God I hate this game!

Are we allowed to post images in here? Here's the test - does anyone else see anything or am I loopy?

I used an invert app thingy as couldn't get a clear image of what I was seeing IRL!

@summertime94 the only time I’ve ever had spotting mid cycle was from untreated cervical ectropion, which I only had spotting from after DTD. If the spotting has appeared after DTD, and I don’t want to worry you, but you need to go to your GP and request for a colposcopy. The ectropion I had was from HPV associated changes but this has since cleared up and I am now HPV negative. Please speak to your GP about the bleeding 💕

@EmPeEf ah I hope it sticks! 🤞🏼 I know how worried you are as I know you’ve also been experiencing recurrent chemicals, I’m on that thread too. I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏼💕

I can see a very faint line!!

@bellaflower that was my thought after googling. It's just never happened before and is still a week early.

@JupiterDazegosh that sounds a bit scary. I haven't DTD today but about 24 hours ago I did. I think I will make an appt with the dr anyway though

Thank you, love. I know you’ve been through it too xx My overwhelming emotion at the moment is guilt that it’s happened and I’m not 100% yay yet, because I’d really come to terms with decided to stop trying for a while and probably not start till I was 41 so it’d be even harder. It was a really difficult decision and I’d made peace with it.

@bellaflower woohooo! Honestly the resolution reuction when uploading pictures drives me mad but I swear I saw a glimmer of something!

Unfortunatly some-one on reddit gave me the advice of trying to pry it open to get a better look, and now I've scratched the actual test strip with my tweezers. What a muppet.

@Vil @EmPeEf fingers crossed for you both

@summertime94 I would think maybe ovulation spotting too but echo seeing dr just in case

@GoldDustWoman90 I can see something! Agree the change in picture quality when you upload is irritating
