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!

I'm CD22 in 27 day cycle, but it says I'm 5dpo on my app. I have weird pressure on my bladder, sensitive boobs started last night, I'm tired and peeing very often, I also had abdo cramps yesterday. All that symptoms started very early. I'm not sure if the app was wrong. Is it possible to have this symptoms so quick or maybe it's normal after ovu and I'm just exaggerating and body scanning too much😅

I feel similar ! I also worry I'm just interpreting too much into it 😵‍💫 but I caved and bought the early detection clear blue tests today, I know you're meant to test in the morning but I wonder when I should test if it's not the morning how long do u hold your pee basically 🤣 I went at the shops and got home and need to go again 🤣

Went to the chemist at lunch, could only find horrible blue dye tests but bought one anyway and even I can see that this is positive!!!! 11DPO, afternoon urine.

Husband on a work call, don’t know what else to do except sit on the edge of my bath and freak out.

(also know that this could end very quickly, really not getting my hopes up.)

That's really positive!! Congrats!

Deffo very positive @ripleynot !! Congrats!!

Congrats on the bpf!!

I'm CD6 of a 32ish days cycle. Zzzz all very boring here TTC-wise.

Can't remember if it was this thread but I've seen someone talking about ferritin levels - just had mine tested and they've come back as low (22). I've been advised to take an iron supplement for the next 3 months and then get retested.

Questions:

1. There's already 14mg iron in my prenatal - can you take too much? Will obviously ask in pharmacy but just looking for experiences here.
2. What impact could this have on ttc? Should we hold off until it's under control?

I just woke up after 3 hour nap, I'm so tired for couple days now, Im dreading for tomorrow as I come back to work and I will not be able to take my nap😂

I couldn't wait and I am stunned 😳 it came up immediately!

Omg congrats! What a lucky thread this month!

Congratulations!!

Congratulations everyone who’s got a BFP!! Was away for a nice weekend trip so only catching up now. And thanks for everyone who said the same to me. ❤️

Anyone else still really early in their tww?🥲 I’m literally 2DPO😂

This thread is making me so happy! Congrats to everyone who’s had a positive!

@Jill4578im 6dpo but waiting until 12dpo to test (this is my first cycle and I don’t want to start getting super stressed yet..). Another six days feels like torture, the last six have felt the same!

Wow wow wow, congratulations 🎉🎉

I'm 5dpo, where every day feels like forever in tww😂

Thank you for the message, it cheered me up! There was no other occasions though. Do you know about what happens to the ovulation tests after the peak because I tested last night (0.6) and today (0.2). It seems like the results have gone down really quickly.

I done a morrisons test and a digital at the same time and the morrisons test is positive but the digital is negative? The digital said you can test 4 days before af so now i’m even more confused than before!

@amey44I'm not sure, maybe the digital is less sensitive? The color is not so dark yet, so maybe you still a few days for the digital to pick up. 🤞Though, at least the line is a lot more obvious than before!
@hopeful4usI'm not sure, I know that you are a bit more likely to have a miscarriage or fertility issues if you have severe iron deficiency. I can't give you an advice, but I wouldn't stop ttc if you're going to take supplements, I'm sure they'll help tremendously! I'm also taking them after my MMC, just to be sure

Congrats on all the positives, seems to be a lucky month! I read somewhere recently that September is the most common birth month, so that must mean statistically we have a better chance this month?!

I’m 13 dpo today so AF due today/tomorrow and usually starts in the evening. I’ve definitely convinced myself that I feel pregnant. Going to try and wait to test until Thursday but I might cave tomorrow 😬

I think it's just because a lot of people are home during Christmas and NYE, lol!

I’m also 5 DPO, and can’t stop myself testing already 🫣. I have convinced myself I’m pregnant, but feels very unlikely that I would have symptoms this early. It would also be fairly inconvenient as will mean we have to cancel a trip to Italy for my friends wedding in late September, and we already have booked flights and a baby conceived this month would also be due on my little boys birthday! This is my first cycle post MMC and I felt I had to try to help with the grief, but if I haven’t caught this month we will skip trying next month so we can attend the wedding. So I’m pleased we have something to look forward to if we don’t get our BFP 🙏🏼.

My husband and I are convinced the vast amount of champagne we drank over Christmas is directly responsible for this positive test 😂 If the pregnancy continues maybe we’ll have to call it Bollinger!

Morning everyone, just wanted to update on my testing plan and see if anyone thinks it’s mad.

After the BFP yesterday (11DPO) my plan now is not to test again until next Friday, when if I am still testing positive it confirms it wasn’t a chemical. If I bleed between now and then, that’s my body letting me know I’m not still pregnant. I don’t need to test to know that. I think watching for line progression will trigger my health-related OCD so for peace of mind, I’ll treat the next 10ish days as pregnant until proven otherwise, but also try and put it out of my head mostly as I know v high likelihood that it might not stick at this stage.

I will be starting on vitamins today though, just in case!

congrats to everyone else getting positives and good luck to everyone in the wait.

I don't think it's a mad plan. I don't know if I would be able to stick to it as I went crazy over testing during my MMC but only because the lines weren't getting darker fast enough.. Fingers crossed it's a sticky one for you and by Friday you'll have a really strong line!
