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!

@Glittertint @Coco9910 @HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy 👋
How are you doing! After last months bfn I know you ladies were on the same cycle timeframe as me and wrote in here saying the company would be great for this cycle!

I have tried to catch up on the thread. I think you ladies are waiting ovulation any day now. As am I. I am going off ewcm and app prediction only. You guys are bbt and lh testing. Any news???
I feel like if I dont get a positive this cycle I may try the LH tests to see. I started ewcm cd9 and have has some today a fair bit this morning. App says o tomorrow.... well one says today another says tomorrow. Who can really tell I guess from that alone?
We dtd cd10 and again today, tomorrow isnt possible but will do cd15 which is the 23rd..and hopefully im in for a chance? 🙏

Let me know how your getting on sending positivity and patience as we enter the TWW together 😁😁

@Orangeroses243 Hello!👋 Good to have you back in the mad house 😂
I’m also just going off my app and CM. Still waiting for EWCM. I’m currently CD19, though due to PCOS have stupidly long cycles. My app says ovulation not due until Feb 10th 😭😭😭 Not that that means I’m not forensically inspecting the paper whenever I wipe hoping this cycle will be shorter and I will ovulate earlier 🙈

So will probably be cheering you on from the side lines! Sounds like you dtd perfectly! Lots of people seem to recommend every other day as better than every day anyway. Sending you baby dust!

@Orangeroses243 hi! I have been tracking my LH and got my peak earlier than I thought! I got my peak yesterday so I expect I ovulated today. Managed to DTD the last 3 days so hopefully covered bases and now just got to wait! 😅 Will you take a test before AF is due?

hiya everyone! Do we see any progression? Getting a bit worried🥲 only 12/13 dpo so I know it’s still early but I can’t tell if it’s improving!

I’m still waiting for my LH peak 🙃🙃🙃 we’ll get there! My bbt dropped 0.01 today so still not out! My DH and I both feel off and rundown so wonder if it’s linked to that!

I see progression!!

Really sorry, but to be honest with you I would be preparing for a chemical at this point. I could easily be wrong though, as you say you are still early, you haven’t even missed your period yet.

Ok thx

@Jill4578Unfortunately I agree that it could be a chemical. It should have been progressing a bit more obviously since you've tested positive so early.. I had similar progression unfortunately with my MMC.. But I hope I'm wrong!

How many days are between tests? They say hcg progresses 48hours ish so I’d just see what 2 days time looks like and then you’ll know for sure. I think this is why most doctors say test at 14dpo as it’s more certain then!

@Jill4578 this looks very similar to my chemical, I think there should be more progression at this stage. I hope I’m wrong and fingers crossed you will have progression over the next few days 🙏 when is af due?

i think it’s hard to photograph but it definitely has gotten darker. The first positive I got was so faint I had to use a filter on the image to see it. Now it appears quickly and is definitely darker. Will just see what happens, going to just skip testing tomorrow and see what Saturday brings. With my other two it was incredibly faint at the beginning so im
not disregarding it yet

Fing crossed! Let us know, how that turns out. I know some people don't have much of a progression in the beginning, so this can still mean anythit. With my MC I knew something was wrong, because my test lines were progressing so fast before with my dd

@Jill4578 have you tried taking a video of the test and then screenshotting that makes it so much clearer. You will have to crop the photo after. I thought my test was getting lighter the other day then it just started to rise really well so if you notice it getting darker then that’s a good sign 🫶

Yeah see I’ve looked back at my other children’s and they were both barely there at the beginning and I waited until I was late to test whereas this time I’ve tested really early so I think I’m just expecting a bit much too soon. Doesn’t automatically mean it’s not happening I think I’ve just jumped the gun and I’m now getting impatient because it’s not a due stealer at 12/13DPO😂😂 which is just ridiculous really haha

Sorry I just worked it out and im not even 13DPO I’m 11 or 12. Had the peak ovulation test on the 10th. But we dtd both Saturday and sunday. Had spotting on the 17th. So it’s still very early I need to just be patient and trust my gut

Ah don't be, it shouldn't be a dye stealer yet! But then you had the implantation symptoms on day? Either way, if you had the Same with your other two children, I'm sure it is fine x

@Jill4578 I always think stay hopeful until there’s evidence to say not to be! I think we often like to protect ourselves but you’re also giving yourself days of worry when you don’t know yet! Don’t worry twice as they say and try be positive 🙂 (as easy as said and done!)

@HelloDarknessmyoldfrenemy its is actual madness isnt it!!!

still a few weeks to go for you, (according to app tho) have you experienced ovulation earlier sometimes?

Ahah dont blame you, they say soon as you see even a glimpse of the stuff to get going! So keep your eyes peeled!!! 😁😁 some women only see a small amount and cycles vary domt they.

I have seen a bit more today so maybe o is tomorrow 🤔🤔 i reqd that ovulation happens once it dries up?? So going off this theory i guess!!

@Coco9910 great timing on your part! Keeping everything crossed.
I wrote before, I have had more ewcm today so maybe ovulation is tomorrow as I read it dries up before you ovulate so my timing could be out a few days maybe.. have to keep dtd from tomorrow if we can.

I really want to say i am going to wait u til AF but I cant promise as il no doubt cave in!!
What about you?

Do we think this is the start of my peak? 🤞🏼 I may have finally have gotten there!!

@Orangeroses243 fingers crossed! It’s so hard to predict it all! Still baffles me how people get pregnant by accident 😂 I was thinking id jus wait for AF to see if it arrived or not, but my cycles are always different lengths (between 30 and 35 days) so think I might test at 12 or 13dpo!

Hopefully! Test again in a few hours and see if it’s getting darker!

@Coco9910 ahab you make a very valid point, I also heard stories of one pill missed and pregnancy i mean the chances are there but trying to catch it on time must makes these kind of accidental chances sooo low!

Ahh well we will likely be testing around the same days 😃😃😃

@Glittertint That line looks very hopeful for the start of your peak! Bet it’s a dye stealer by the morning!
