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!

That's what these threads are for, lol! I love looking at tests even if they're not mine 😂
Yeah, I think the bottom one is even more visible than the top although maybe because the top is already dry. Looks promising though, fingers crossed it'll darken in the next days! How many dpo are you again?

I do think there is something there, more visible on the bottom test! That said I’ve seen very bad evaporation lines with boots tests 😬 do you have any others? How many days post ovulation are you?

Sending a massive virtual hug to you. The way you feel is completely understandable, it will happen soon for you God willing xxx

@Anya23@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemyIm unsure on dpo my app predicts 12dpo but I do have irregular cycles. I’m just completely unsure what to think of it did your evaps look like mine? 😣
The images upload such bad quality but it’s really visible when I saw it

I did have something similar turn out to be on evap but on a different test that was actually expiring in that month. But it was one test! All other were negative, so it must mean something for you to have two

Yeah i’ve had one before I think in July but it was one test and the line did eventually disappear. My friend thinks I should get a digital but i’m so scared in case it’s negative

I wouldn't get a digital yet, as I think they're less sensitive. Wait a couple of days, and retest, hopefully it'll be obvious by then!

Yep PCOS. I think I'll just try BBT for a couple of cycles at least. I did find ovulation strips stressful.

The next couple of months would be perfect for me to get pregnant. Big fan of autumn. And being an October baby myself who's a bit of a goth at heart, October would be my ideal 🎃🤞

I can definitely see something! Tentative congratulations 🙏🏼

@Orangeroses243 same! My little one is 3 and a half and doesn’t nap at all so only had time when she’s in bed for the night 😰😂 I want to try not put pressure on but when there’s only a few days to even try, it’s hard not to feel the pressure!

Yeah I agree I think i’ll wait until maybe Wednesday now (or try to hahaha) and @Pololol thank you 🙏🏼i’m not convinced yet though😩

@Jhm88 yes BBT will be fine if you roughly know your cycles! I’m an October baby too so yes would be ideal 😄 I’ve started bleeding properly today, so curious as to when I’ll ovulate this cycle x

Urgh I’ve woken up this morning feeling strangely positive that this is the month. 11dpo and too scared to test though. I tested on 9dpo and it was negative but it was a digital and I tested late in the day with very pale/dilute looking urine.

I just don’t want to get my hopes up 😢

Good news, at least now you know where you are! Fingers crossed you'll ovulate soon 🤞

Fingers crossed for you @CatsMcGoo

Hi I'm new here
first month TTC and I'm already going crazy on the symptom spotting 😟

CD25 today, normal cycles are average 27 days, mostly 26 and 27 days with the odd 28 and rare 29. I've been tracking on clue for 10 years I'm not sure how accurate the fertile window is but think we covered it well enough this cycle😆 but not sure how many DPO I am right now maybe 10-12DPO?

I always get sore boobs with PMS and get a bit more hungry but this month I am RAVENOUS like I cried 2 times already cause nothing is filling me up and I track my calories so it's not just in my head, I'm in an almost constant state of hunger the past 3-4 days 🥺 and breast soreness has set on a bit later than usual and seems to be more around my areola (I've had a breast reduction 2 years ago and no nipple sensation as a result so can't even check for sore nipples as symptoms) other than that idk! It seems like everything and nothing is a sign/ not a sign. Been super constipated as well and crampy. Feeling a bit more crampy today but can't really tell if it's just of constipation or my uterus rn😵‍💫 it does feel like my period could come tomorrow but at the same time it doesn't. Usually it's very clear, my boobs stop hurting next day I get my period. Now it feels vague and confusing

I was considering buying those early response tests of Amazon but held back for now as I don't wanna stress myself out already the first month of trying! But I do wonder if I should order some tomorrow if my period doesn't show up on CD26 or should I wait til CD28 cause sometimes I do get my period on CD28 instead. Really not sure. My last few cycles were 26, 27, 27, 26 😵‍💫 it's stupid but I'm scared I'll order tests and then my period arrives it would make me feel weirdly silly cause I always think I'm so in tune with my body and cycle and to get it so wrong would make me feel kinda bad. But I also hate the wait 😩 the cramping I'm feeling rn makes me think my period is on the way but I change my mind every hour it seems going back and forth between I need to test I think it'll be positive and no need to test until a missed period and I think my period is coming anyway 😵‍💫😵‍💫

{mention:DonutFan95}@DonutFan95 I started to have cramps today, but it's my 21cd, and app says I'm 4dpo. I had my opt peak on Cd15 and 16. I'm not sure if the cramping means anything. Anyone else has experienced this so early after ovu?

Random but does anyone else watch call the midwife? I love seeing all the little babies being born🥹

I'm also having a lot of random cramping (but no period) and am convinced I'm pregnant... Though I'm still waiting a couple days to test.

Sorry for the double post - couldn't wait so went out and bought a stupid expensive test! Please hope for me that this one sticks and best of luck to everyone still waiting!

That's a great line! Congrats! How many dpo are you?

I think I'm going to order tests off Amazon if no period by tomorrow evening but rn feeling weirdly crampy but more like I'm overly bloated and my boobs are still very sore; I'm so confused 🫠 I think either way it'll be good to have tests in the house anyway even if my period starts the next day

@Anya23 thank you! I am not sure on exact dpo but I think 13?

@DonutFan95 absolutely so you don't make an emergency run like me!

That's a good line for that! Fingers crossed for a sticky bean!

@Anya23 thanks! Yes, if it’s anything like my previous cycle will be in two weeks but expecting to be very unpredictable this time! But at least I can track properly again now, very relieved x
