TTC / TWW Jan 2026

[Anya23]

Hi guys! Opening a thread for those ttc in the new year! I'll be starting again after an MMC in November, fingers crossed that this'll be a lucky year for all!

Not completely, I now spot the day or 2 before but that usually falls in line with my temps dropping too! But it did make my LP’s longer! It also got rid of my terrible cramps I had. And then since my DD it seems to have stayed away! I also got told to improve LP you need to look at your first 14 days too as it’s the egg that determines some of the LP characteristics!

I do think pregnancy helps the body reset hormones quite a bit! How old is your first?

I see, interesting! She is 21 months now 🙂

Ahhh! So I found as soon as I hit 2 years pp, all my cycles went back to normal but if you had an MC you might find this stalls that? But all my pms that I previously had like sore boobs and insomnia came flooding back!! My friends have all been the same!

I'm not sure! It seemed normal after I stopped breastfeeding! With my daughter I also had a shorter cycle when I got pregnant and also had one day of spotting before the last period! I just hope the MC didn't f anything up because I started lactating again, which didn't stop completely yet🤦I'm going to my checkup tomorrow, we'll see what the doc says

amaaazing thanks xx

its because I’m sure I’ve seen people have these amaaazing line progressions. I literally would test at 4dpo and be there using my phone torch to try and look for a line that obvs Isn’t there lol

May it rain down on us all…. Abundantly

I do this too with my phone torch 😂

I then go to hide the pregnancy test because im ashamed lol

Congratulations to all the BFP!! So heartening to see 🥰 we're in the fertile window, ewcm in abundance so just trying to baby dance during DD nap time 😂

Hey ladies thought i’d join this thread as we’re ttc again now. I had a chemical in May then gave up ttc September-December as the whole situation was making me feel really distraught. We didn’t exactly “try” this month but we had sex over ovulation coincidentally so i’m praying for a bfp 🤞🏻. I’m unsure on dpo id guess around 8dpo.

@hopeful4usIt's so hard with a toddler isn't it 😂 it was so easy before, we could dtd every day, and now because of work and her it's much harder!
@amey44Welcome! Fingers crossed for you!

Me too 😂😂😂

Can you just stop this now…. We are literally cycle buddies too bc AF for me is due on Monday. I really really just wanna be strong now and avoid taking any tests… i don’t have any either so I guess that helps.

views on when friends and family give the old… if you are thinking about conceiving xyz it’s not gonna happen, just relaaaax… don’t stressssss… im always like there’s a science behind it too surely and i cant win the bloody lottery if i dont buy a ticket. So yes of course im trying to dot my eyes and cross my T’s

ranting now soz

Ahh don’t worry I completely get it. I’ve held off testing this cycle and like you not got myself any tests at all. It’s torture though.
i have gone back to work on Tuesday and am flat out so it is helping to take my mind off things during the day but as soon as i finish, that’s it, mind goes straight back to it

Lovely to see some great positives floating in here! 💓
Hope to see some more the next few days!
As for me 11dpo Just had a bfn. AF due sunday. I feel like im out because of the amount of positives I see at 10dpo/11dpo.
Squinting my eyes in hope for a line but its negative I know. Searching negative at 11dpo then positive ahah! The things we do ey!!!

Does this look like a chemical, what do we think ladies? The line hasn't got any darker for three days. This is cd23-28, AF due tomorrow

Another bfn today I thought I seen a line on this when I took it but looking at the pic it seems more like a dye smudge? Finding it really hard as i’ve now gotta go to work and not be upset over this! We’ve been trying for so long now i’m really hoping for a bfp this year

Will try catch up on this thread so I know where everyone’s at hope everyone has a good day today!💖

@Anonna123I would say them tests are good progress!! I don’t think it looks like a chemical as when I had a chemical they went really faint urs are quite dark so I wouldn’t worry xx

@Anonna123I'm not sure.. Unfortunately I had the same progression with my MMC that the line stayed the same for 2/3 days, and only then it got darker again.. But for some people it doesn't darken much in the beginning, my friend was the same and she has a healthy toddler now!
@amey44I don't see anything unfortunately!

@Anonna123 fellow line progression obsessor here 👋

do you upload pictures of your tests onto premom or a similar app?
I have realised this morning the colours of the lines change when they dry so comparing one day to the previous day doesn’t show much change but I can see a difference on photos on my app which are taken at the time of testing. I’m still obsessing but it has given me a bit of relief today xx

@Orangeroses243 I don’t mean to feed the beast (🤣) but I can see what you’re seeing on that test 🙏

Thank you 🤍 When did you find out about your MMC? We're thinking of going for a 7 week scan as I'd rather find out sooner than later. I've realised that this pregnancy probably isn't right for us as a family so I hope it's a chemical rather than a MMC just to shorten the uncertainty. Feeling overwhelmed really!

Thank you I'll check out the app!

Why do you feel like that?
I had a scan at almost seven weeks when they said they can see the yolk sac, maybe a fetal pole, but no heartbeat yet, and I should have gone back two weeks later. I had some spotting following that so I went for two more checkups in the next two weeks and unfortunately they all showed the same, no progression..
You should see what's up at 6/7 weeks!
