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!

Maybe it's because you were more relaxed! Who knows! I tried to be more chill as well this month, and was, up until I started having a backache 😂

Who really knows why our bodies decide which month is the one, even when we do the same things month after month lol 🤷🏻‍♀️
Last time I conceived was the only month I let myself have a couple glasses of prosseco, although probably just a coincidence 😂

Lol! For me both times it was the third cycle lol😂although with DH's work that was the first month we could actually dtd on peak day, which is the highest chance of conception! This time we couldn't do it, lol and looking at his work schedule we won't be able to next cyclw either 😂I hope third cycle will work this time as well

Crossing everything your cycle and his schedule align next time!🤞 my DH has started complaining of sore throat today, so assume the man flu is imminent as soon as I get my peak 🙈

Ooh that's the worst! Fingers crossed he'll still be down to dtd though!

@hopeful4usYeah often I wake up around then too and will do a quick temp as sometimes I struggle to get back to sleep so don’t want my temp to be unreliable in the later morning. I find it gives quite consistent results

No idea what’s going on with my body at the moment! Have been feeling a bit nauseous the last couple of days and was sick while brushing my teeth this morning, so had convinced myself I was pregnant but AF has arrived today at 8DPO a week early. Oh well! Going to skip the next cycle so I can attend my friends wedding abroad in September (which I’d been planning to take the baby we lost to as they would have been 3/4 months). Wishing baby dust for everyone else xx

Are you sure it's af? It may be implantation bleeding, if not heavy. I had that with my son,and I had spotting couple times, I found out I was 3 months pregnant when I went to gp with uti 😂

Hey, advice online says as long as you have had at least 3-5 hours of uninterrupted sleep you can take your temp. Make sure you keep it by your bed though and before you sit up or anything take your temp

Omg so I’m 7DPO I know because I was testing and got my peak last sat. So just been for my first wee of the day and I’ve had tiny spots of red! I’m not due on til Wednesday/Thursday and I’m literally never early! Could this be implantation bleeding? Trying not to get excited but ive had some light cramping as well for the past two days so im praying its that🙏
I’ve never had spotting before AF before, only with my other two children so that’s also a positive sign. No backache either which I get before and during AF just light cramping on my right side

It sounds promising! Fingers crossed for you!

sadly too heavy to be spotting and having quite a lot of cramping too. Think I might try and get some fertility acupuncture to try and re-set my cycle post MMC, as a 22 day cycle isn’t ideal!

Edit: sorry this was in reply to the message asking me if it could be spotting but posted without the quote by accident!

Today, 10dpo line got darker, can you see? It appeared in a good time window, I can still see it there, and there is blue colour to it. Today clinic is closed, I have appointment for ultrasound on Wednesday, I hope it sticks.

@Jill4578 thats very good sign, fingers crossed for you

Fingers crossed! It looks promising. Why do you have an US appointment?

I’m cd11 and still no increase yet in OPK’s! Is this normal?? I can’t remember from my dd! We have decided to dtd on every other day so hoping I don’t miss anything but worried we started the dtd too early that we just kind of burn out 🤣

LH starts rising for me one day before my peak, so on CD 10. But I do ovulate on CD 12 usually and I have shorter cycles (25 days)

I have recurent miscarriages, and they are going to do visibility scan and give MI progesterone, also to check if everything is good.

I’m CD 12 and also still having insanely low OPKs! I ovulate anywhere from day 15 to day 22 (was into the 30s on the cycle after my chemical) so I’m not too worried about it 😊

Oh I see, I really hope everything will be OK this time!

@Anya23 @TTCNumber2in2025 ahhh okay this is reassuring! I’m usually around cd13-15 so hopefully will start rising in a day or two! Tbf I haven’t had any EWCM yet so maybe I’m a bit later this cycle

@Pololol have you had fertility acupuncture before? I’m just starting to look into it. I’ve had a couple of 22 day cycles in the last 6 months. I suspect it’s age related and they can’t do anything about that, but thought it might be worth a try

The month we concieved our DD (we were 13 cycles deep) we did fertility acupuncture and we fell pregnant! Not sure if it worked but I’ll be doing it in Feb if I don’t fall this month! Would recommend!!!

Oh wow! I’m just a little concerned that the recommendation is to have it weekly for a couple of months - that sounds expensive. Conversely, an hour to myself a week sounds delightful!

No I haven’t! Heard about it on the podcast I’ve been listening to and lots of positive praise on there - the worst girl gang ever.
i just want to feel I’m moving forward in some way after our loss. I’ve booked in for 10 days time, so hopefully it’s good for £105 🫣.
