TTC TWW August/September 2025

[Ec2808]

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

So sorry @Vil hope you are kind on yourself today (I hate it when people say that to me because I rarely am kind on mysemf!) And will you be taking any more tests over coming days or is that it because you know when you ovulated etc? Sorry if that's a stupid question!

Fwiw, I also had a bfn this morning, no sign of the line I thought I saw yesterday. Probably just an evap line or whatever we call them.

I'm sorry to hear that @bananabread23 what DPO are you? The limbo pahse is the worst!

No I'm going to stop testing I know when I ovulated like you said, and Im now 16DPO and it was stark white.

I feel comfort knowing I'm booked into a new place, and I'll like be able to have another IVF cycle Oct/Nov so another chance this year.

I feel ok, our daughter was our third cycle so its a well trodden path and i was TTC naturally before than for 2 years.

I actually feel like i'm so lucky to have her.

@Vil so sorry 😢

sorry to hear about your bfn as well @bananabread23

Sorry to hear that @Vil but yes you are so lucky to have your daughter! Sending you lots of luck for your future if cycles.

@bananabread23 sorry about your negative thats really cruel, tests are so temperamental.

Im definitely a symptom spotter not a tester @Tes004 join me 😂 iv got another 10 days before the fun tww begins. Haven't even had faint lines on opks yet

@Vilthat makes sense. And oct/Nov is just round the corner so not too long too wait. Did you change clinic because you weren't happy with your previous?

I have definitely felt the same about my daughter, especially when I had my 2nd mmc earlier this year. I still feel confident we will have another but I have no idea what the journey to get there will be like.

And I really don't know when I ovulated. I had ewcm on 2 days (cd9 and cd16), so like a week apart. Baby danced during that week but not after cd16 so could've totally missed it. I'm not defos out yet as only cd23 but I'm not feeling confident. It's just annoying I've felt constantly nauseous. However I'm taking iron supplements and prenatal so probably just that. I've bought a multi pack of early detection tests so I'll probably just keep testing this week. The psychology of it is weird but I'd rather have the negative test tell me I'm not pregnant than be guessing each day until AF arrives, if that makes sense?

And thanks @HansBanans and @KittybwayI'm not defos out yet, i am testing pretty early, but not feeling optimistic!

I also tested today because we might be buying plane tickets to Germany tonight, and wanted to know if I was pregnant - BFN 😂although still only 9dpo and I tested negative with my daughter that early as well.. But still not feeling optimistic unfortunately this cycle. Hopefully cycle #3 will be it for us, just like the first time 🤞

Fingers crossed @Anya23 9dpo is still early,

@bananabread23 yes I’m exactly the same. I just hate not knowing and I’d rather it be definitive than feel like you’re not sure. I definitely had nausea and quite a lot of symptoms this month, cuddled with a couple of faint lines. I’m pretty sure they were symptoms of implantation as they were so similar to when we conceived last time. For all my failed IVF cycles I had no symptoms at all.

Yes, I’ve moved clinic, just felt like I needed a change of scenery and also a lot closer to home. Our last one wasn’t great to be honest.

xx

@Anya23sorry about your bfn too. At least you have your answer for today and then can take each day as it comes... implantation might not have even happened yet, right? Hope you have a good time in Germany!

@Vilglad I'm not the only one who thinks that way about testing. Sounds like a good plan to try the new clinic. Best of luck and keep us posted x

hey ladies - sorry to read all the bfn - just remember anything can happen over days when testing early ..
im confused about bbt stuff - I expected my temp to be up today if it’s 2dpo but it’s actually dropped .2 done another opk and negative today. So I have definitely peaked on Saturday -
I do sleep with a fan so I’m unsure if temps would be accurate. So back to guessing game !!

@Tes004 if you peaked on Saturday you likely ovulated yesterday or this morning....normal that temp hasn't risen yet..you're either oday or 1dpo...every body is different temp rise isn't always directly after ovulation

Hi ladies - how’s everyone doing ? I have now had consecutive higher temps so pretty sure I have ovulated- 3dpo and already doing my own head in -
almost brought the ic tests yesterday and did not cave in. Those things drive me crazy with indents false positives etc so I am going to just try to hold off buying any until I’m atleast 10dpo or may just wait for af as it has been bang on time for 3 cycles - to the day..
7 days to go …
@Ec2808 is it your scan tomorrow ? Fingers crossed for you- I have no doubt it’s going to be fine ! X

@Ec2808 also I see your message re bloods - I had my drawn when I had ivf at that stage and mine was 1364 (twins) 744 is a great number .

@Tes004oh glad you got your temps ☺️ fingers crossed for you!!
yes my scan is tomorrow i’ve come down with a bad cold aswell feel awful 😔 such a ball of nerves…i don’t feel very confident for some reason 😕😕

@Tes004yea i got them done at 16dpo 717, then again at 20dpo and they were 3598…really hope everything is ok…

@Tes004 im with you on the going crazy. I’m 5 dpo today. Will try to wait as long as possible until testing.
I’ve zero symptoms other than vivid dreams, but I get that every month. How are you feeling?

Sadly Bfn here and my temp is dropping. Think I’ll get my period in the next day or two.

good luck to the rest of you

@Ec2808I'm sure everything will be okay, fingers crossed for you tomorrow 🤞
I'm 11 dpo today, had BFN yesterday, so I joined the October thread for now, but I'll test again tomorrow or Friday I think, as I said before, I didn't test positive with my dd either early on.

@Anya23thank you really hope soo..fingers crossed for you too!!🫶🏻🫶🏻

Still bfns for me. However I looked back to when I got a bfp with my dd and it wasn't until day before missed period and according to Flo I'm still 5 days away (my cycle has varied a bit since my mc so I'm just feeling out of tune with my body and unsure. I was cramping a bit yday and was convinced AF was on the way. Also woke up in the night with shooting pains down below

I had absolutely wild rage dreams last night - I went to sleep annoyed with my husband and seemed to take it all out on him in my dream 😅 lucky him. I have been having really vivid dreams past few nights.

Anyone else any weird symptoms?

@bananabread23We are very close in cycles then - I should have six days left until AF comes. Dont give up, there is still a chance for you too then! I've been having vivid dreams for a few days now, but luckily insomnia only lasted one night. Unfortunately I had these dreams in the tww last cycle as well, so for me they don't mean anything

Is there an oct thread? I have a really dark opk so maybe peak overnight but its so early for me, I wasn't expecting to ovulate till Monday. I wonder if I'll get 2 LH surges this month again. Do you think its positive?

Same thing happened to me this cycle early on. No idea if I had an LH peak later on but based on other symptoms, I'm pretty sure I've ovulated when I had the peak. There is an October thread I just can't link it for some reason

@Anya23yes can't give up hope yet! Interesting vivid dreams are recurring for you- tbh, i think waking up in the night with my toddler also just means I remember more of my dreams anyway. Probably can't read anything into it, like most symptoms and signs!

Just made an October thread for those interested 🫶🏻
