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 really want to try and hold off until Saturday @Anya23 as that is when AF is due. But I’m off on Friday so can’t guarantee anything!

Good luck with testing! I'd definitely be testing on Friday 😂 I already feel much luckier this cycle, but I hope I can hold out til 10 dpo with testing! It seems like my period is almost back to normal, so I hope that's a good sign that my body is ready after the mc

Good luck for Friday @Anya23 ! Fingers crossed for you. Is this your second cycle post MC? Glad everything is feeling more normal again.

Thanks! Yes, it is, we waited for one cycle before ttc again, and luckily ovulation and period returned right on time.

Im 6dpo today and hoping to hold off testing until Monday or Tuesday 😅

So many BFP’s this thread so exciting 🥰

Also due to ovulate Saturday or Sunday over here as well! Fingers crossed for us!

8 DPO today - took a test because I couldn't help myself... nada. Had cramping all of yesterday afternoon, fingers crossed that was implantation, and something will show up tomorrow at 9 DPO! Jealous of those of you who can wait until AF is due to test - my self-control is non-existent!

AF still hasn't shown up. CD33 now. Assuming she's late again lol. Will be making a GP appointment if its not here by the end of the week

I had a BFP yesterday morning at 10DPO. Fingers crossed for an October baby. This is my line progression between 10DPO (top) & 11DPO(bottom). I thought it would’ve been much darker today.

@glasshalffull0 oh my goodness amazing lines 😍 I think your progression is perfect, my test actually got lighter on day 11 so I panicked and thought chemical but then it really picked up and I’m now 17dpo and all going well 🥰

Thank you that’s so reassuring to hear! X

These are great!! Congratulations🫶

I keep testing at random times just to make sure it’s real😂🫣 I’m now 16/17DPO and I’m going to do a digital Friday just to make sure it’s jumped from 1-2 to 2-3 but then I’ll definitely be stopping✨

Period was due on Monday but getting BFN on my tests. When I was pregnant with my now 2 year old, I didn’t get a positive test until the week after but can’t remember if I tested regularly or not. Not sure if I am being too optimistic. Such a headache. Feeling very confused.

What time are you testing? I know everyone says first morning wee but I find that my evening ones are always stronger🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve got two children already and it was the same for them. I hope you get your positive soon🤞

I’ve tried both - and both pink dye and blue dye!

I might wait until Friday to test again

AF could turn up in the mean time!

do you have any other symptoms besides late period? Are they usually on time?

Is anyone else in their ovulation window right now?

I have some lower back pain and sore boobs (don’t normally get either). I thought I was going to come on Sunday as had all the usual signs but nothing!

Fingers crossed for you@MamaSleep I don't normally get either, except when I start ttc, my body tricked me twice already🥲
@mangomama91Not yet technically, I'm four days away, but we'll start actively trying tomorrow, as again we can't cover the most important day on Friday, which is one day before ovulation.. Unless I'll ovulate a bit later this cycle!

I am worried it’s a trick of my body/mind. It can be such a cruel process.

I think I ovulated last night/this morning, waiting to see if my temp stays up in the morning. Had a temp shift from 35.98-36.54 so a nice jump! LH tests have been positive yesterday and still high today so just waiting to see what’s happening. My app has shifted to 1dpo

Hi, hope it's ok if I hop in.

I'm TTC no. 2 and I said to myself I'll just be chill about it this time but that is definitely not happening... It's so hard not really being able to talk about this whole process with anyone in real life also. But I've been following this thread and honestly it's been so helpful seeing other people's journeys.

I'm 37, DH is 45. Came off mini pill in Nov.

Did clear blue ovulation test and got solid smiley yesterday.
So I guess I'm either 0 or 1dpo.
This process is getting to me already...

Hey! I’m 37 tomorrow and my partner is 46. I’m TTC no.2 also and I’m guessing I’m 1dpo.
bow old is your little one?
it’s so hard to be chill, this is my second month of trying this time round. I fell first month with my first so I’m defo lacking patience this time round 🫣
