TTC TWW August/September 2025

[Ec2808]

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

Thanks! I am having some spotting (have been for a few days, but it’s not got heavier…) so I’m not holding my breath just yet. But still very exciting!

Fingers crossed @Vil, hope it'll be a bfp for you tomorrow!
I'm 8 dpo today, but I'm not sure I'll be testing soon, with the vivid dreams and insomnia, I feel the same as last cycle unfortunately, so we'll see...

@StrawberryPi congrats! Hopefully the spotting stops soon

@Vil I’ll keep everything crossed for a BFP for you tomorrow

@Anya23 at 8dpo implantation might not have happened yet so there’s still time 🤞🏻

Hi ladies - seeing some bfps on here 👏 so nice to see - good luck to all those still in the waiting game.
I have just got my peak yesterday - my first time bbt this month - im not sure what I’m doing but I see my baseline is 36-36.2 - yesterdays was 36 and today 36.4
am I right in thinking that it would then be ovulation day yesterday if my temp stays high over the next few days ?? This confuses me. I haven’t used a chart so can’t post it.
I’m trying to be hopeful this month as bd every day sometimes twice … over the past week and will continue for the next few days- exhausting !!
any pros at this bbt malarkey ?

I’m 2dpo today according to FF so officially in the tww 🤞🏼 now I’ve stopped breastfeeding I’m hoping that will help regulate my hormones and hopefully I can have a successful pregnancy again 🥹

@Tes004 yep that would mean ovulation was yesterday as your bbt rises the day after ovulation 🙂

Fingers crossed for you @Tes004
I also stopped breastfeeding 3 weeks ago, so I hope that'll help 🤞

@Tes004actually no with bbt you can never be 100% sure when ovulation occured because it can happen before temp rise, during temp rise or after temp rise! Bbt can just confirm ovulation happened with 3 sustained higher temps ☺️ for example i ovulated and it took 4 days for my temp to rise…fingers crossed…i posted interesting information on ovulation that i found on reddit if you want to look it up ☺️

Here’s the information for anyone interested

This is the one from Saturday morning (14 dpo) so I’m praying tomorrow morning it’s clearers and darker as I think this is so so light. I’m really not holding out much hope. Has anyone had a test look like this around this time and gone on to have success? Picture is within the time window and is pinky in colour.

@Viltests usually darken every 48hours for more reassurance i would advise hcg betas through boood draw

@Ec2808 thank you for that - I’ll have a good read later -

@Vil I think that line looks good .. seen much fainter ones and within hours looks darker - I would have for sure retested by now so good for you for having the will power - bet if you took a digi it would be positive today x

Hope it's okay to join this thread. Thought I posted yday but doesn't seem to have worked...

Anyway, I'm 1st cycle back ttc after my 2nd mmc earlier this year. I had my daughter, now nearly 2, between them.

I have no idea when I ovulated as didn't track properly - had ewcm like 7 days apart so a pretty big window making calculating any sorts of dpo near impossible.

My app thinks I'm about 8 days off from my period starting. I've done tests a couple of days in a row with fmu and all negative so far.

I've been feeling nauseous nearly constantly, think my nipples look different and yesterday all I could smell was fox poo!

Feel like I'm going slightly mad! Testing helping me find alternative explanations for my symptoms, like maybe my dog did just actually roll in fox poo 😅

Congrats to those who've got their bfps and good luck to the rest of us whether that be this cycle or next.

Thank you @Tes004 and @Ec2808 im holding off so will see tomorrow. I’ve just got a v negative feeling about it.

good luck @bananabread23 i also have a daughter nearly 2, I like the idea of a 2.5 year age gap 🙂🙂

Thanks @Vil- good luck to you too! I just caved and did a pink dye early test from boots. The very very very faintest of lines, the kind you can only see in certain lights, came up. Definitely questionable. Any tips to not go mad definitely welcome?! I've got a long to do list to get through and my lo is out with other half so thinking a bit of music and hard work to tire myself out...

Welcome @bananabread23 im 2 dpo ish could be one dpo as I don’t track my temp.
fingers crossed for everyone waiting.
im trying to keep busy the next couple of weeks in the hope its not a stressful 2ww. I keep over thinking every little symptom.
I’ve been crampy since ovulation and praying this is our month

@bananabread23 as someone who did 7 tests in 48 hours I have no good advice on this hahaha

exciting you’ve seen something and nice and early !

good luck to you too @fullofhope2024

Hello to all you newbies! Good luck on your journeys and it is so nice to see some bfp's!!

Been a bit quiet as I am cd10 and this is my least favourite part of the cycle, I find it so tedious. My fertile window starts Wednesday according th FF and im away Saturday and Sunday 🫠 not having great luck timing wise ha!

@bananabread23 🙌 I’m the worst for testing .. however at the moment I have 0 tests in the house accept a digi which I am saving .
I started testing around 7dpo last cycle and it drove me crazy- this time around I’m telling myself that light lines means nothing as I’ve had so many pink evaps - even dark lines mean nothing cus I’ve had false positives on the cheap ones so I’m going to not buy any and just drive this thread crazy with my symptom spotting (which I know can all be related to both af and early pregnancy) I had such high hopes last month as bd so much. But his is my 2nd round of 10mg clomid so hopefully it has made a viable strong egg !!
ohhh and on another note - I had reflexology done this week - and she marked down my left fallopian tube.. said it could be if you are near ovulation etc

Hahahah @Tes004 good for you on the testing plan, and I’m all here for the symptom spotting.

I’ll be doing the all important test tomorrow 16dp0 48 hrs after the faintest of line with FMU, if it’s still light I have to accept my fate I think. I’ll also get a same day blood test tomorrow too I think.

What a rollercoaster 🎢

@fullofhope2024the hyper vigilance for things going on in our bodies is just crazy. Saying that, I'm trying to record a lot of my symptoms so then I can at least tell myself in future cycles that they don't mean I'm pregnant and I'm reading into nothing.

@Vilhonestly I do not understand how people can wait until their missed period. I have pretty good self control in a lot of respects but testing is a weakness for me.

@Tes004not having tests in the house is a good approach. I had loads of cheapies leftover, really hard to pretend they don't exist! Really hope you have luck this cycle x

As expected no line at all this morning and negative on a digital too so this is confirmed as a chemical. Stopping the ivf medication today. Bit gutting as this was my last embryo so I’ll have to do the whole thing again.

best of luck to everyone else and congrats to those of you

Oh my god, I'm so sorry 😔 wishing you luck for what comes next

Oh @Vil I’m so sorry to read that 😔 As Anya says, I hope the next steps going well for you x

Thanks all im just diving into work, and I’ve booked a consultation to start again at a new clinic so trying to make it exciting lol

im so lucky to have our lovely daughter so I can’t be too sad and it will happen it’s just time

thanks for all your support
