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!

@90yomakeuproom my LP is usually 14 days… how have you tracked? I’d recommend BBT to get an idea of how your LP goes as I’ll usually know by 12dpo if I am pregnant as usually my temp makes a slight decrease if I’m due my period

@Glittertint same with me, my BBT always takes a nosedive the day before my period so I know it's coming.

Thanks everyone, so according to most of you my period should be due tomorrow. My first period after the coil being removed was the 1st December. I had the coil removed just over a month before that and that's been my first period although it was really really light.

It’ll mostly depend on when you ovulated rather than when your last period was!

Afternoon All, my head is a little fried today. So I used Flo to track my cycle and have now started using Natual Cycles. So Flo always said that my ovulation was due on 28th December, NC said 30th.

i have been tracking my BBT and using OPK’s for LH surge. I’ve never managed to get a positive LH surge. This month has been weird for me as I just tried to cover all my bases across both of the estimated ovulation dates. But then today started to get darker LH tests. Not a surge but defo darker.

my temps started rising last week alongside what I was convinced was ovulation pain/cramps. and I have had a consistent raise in temp since 25th December.

can anyone interpret this for me? Do es it look like I have ovulated already or am about to? 🤯

Ignore the fact that I input it three times this afternoon, I tried to do it in better light

I think you might have a peak tonight or tomorrow. Keep going. 0.7 might be getting to your peak! Mine looked very similar to that.

@BellaStar2020 it looks like your bbt also dropped 0.1 in the last 2 days? Your body could’ve tried to ovulate but didn’t and be trying again? I’m not sure as they aren’t huge increase / decrease! Do you have a temp from day 1 of your cycle to get a baseline? I’d probably just cover all days for this too and keep testing! If it helps I haven’t yet started LH testing as said I wouldn’t until a few cycles in but I do have an Apple Watch wrist temp and this has been mine this month which has been really off and disrupted and I’m pretty sure I ovulated like 3-4 days before the actual rise but my sleep disruptions/qualify has thrown off the temp!

Thank you @Glittertintmy baseline is usually 35.6. I could have sworn with everything I have felt the last week I ovulated on the 26th/27th but yes you’re right, perhaps it tried and didn’t happen?!

I’ve had really disrupted sleep the last 3 days, nothing in particular causing it just waking lots in the night so this may have affected my temps too

Thanks @90yomakeuproomi will keep checking temps and BBT and see what happens

@BellaStar2020 yeah if you’ve had disrupted sleep it could’ve impacted them, I think they say you need a solid 4 hours sleep! Mines definitely been impacted! Also LH could go up/down with hydration levels too, and other hormones - you hear about people who get BFP get positive LH too! I’d just keep an eye on it and just like go for it again if it does rise etc

Thank you @Glittertintim just going to carry on doing what I have been and what will be will be 😀

Hi all, hope you don’t mind me joining! I’m in my TWW just now (7DPO) after ovulating on the 24th of December. Getting the itch to test early even though I know it’s too early to tell 🫣
I had a chemical pregnancy at the end of October, followed by a 43 day cycle where it took until day 31 for me to ovulate! Ovulated on day 21 this cycle, which is much more normal for me!

Hey @TTCNumber2in2025welcome to the chat! Sorry to hear of your chemical in October! I’m TTC no2 also, first cycle, unsure what DPO I am as I’m lost a bit between apps 🤯

It’s so easy to get lost in the differences between apps! I’ve been using Natural Cycles (bbt) and Premom (LH strips) and they’ve both given me different ovulation dates this cycle! I’m going with the LH tests this cycle though because I’ve been unwell over Christmas and so has my toddler, so the broken sleep has made my bbt quite erratic!

Yes I use premom to log my LH tests, Natural cycles for BBT and they have given me different ovulation dates. I’m either 5DPO or have yet to ovulate 😂

sorry to hear your little one has been poorly over Christmas bless them (and you). My little girl came down with a bad case of tonsillitis on the 19th December but luckily the antibiotics kicked in super fast so she was still able to enjoy Christmas but missed the last day of school which she was not happy about!

It’s a minefield! Mines weren’t quite as far apart as that - it was either the 24th or the 26th, but I definitely think it was the 24th!

Aw thank you! He had Slapped Cheek the first week of December then had a couple of days of being relatively healthy, then had Hand, Foot and Mouth! He had that over his 2nd birthday so we had to cancel his wee family party which was a shame, but at least he’s young enough not to really know any different!
I’m glad your wee girl was able to enjoy Christmas, and had an extra wee day off of school!

Happy new year guys! Those who had an MC, how was your first period after that? I know it can be longer, but I had a normal ish period, but I am still spotting two days later.. I'll only go to the doctors checkup next week, but I'll probably ovulate by then, so I don't know if it's a good idea to be ttc this cycle already... It's probably uterine wall building up

After d&c, I forgot to add.. Hope it's not adhesions, although I read this can be common at the first period..

This is basically exactly what I had (spotting continued for 3-4 days after when I'd usually stop), I started trying once the spotting stopped.

Great, thanks! Hopefully it'll stop today!

Though I didn't have a d&c (sorry just read that!), hopefully someone with more knowledge will respond soon. I also read that it was normal though so fingers crossed!

And happy new year to everyone _

Happy new year all… hope we all have BFP’s this year and they bring us new little lives!

I’m 7-8dpo today and really can’t help but symptom spot. Boobs are feeling sore which happens every month so not overly hopeful! It’s weird as I hit 2year pp and all my old pms symptoms came back!

Happy New Year to all and lots of baby dust!!

I’ve tested this morning, which I think is 10dpo and the test was stark white ☹️ so think I might be out this month!

Here's to 2026 being our year 🥰 AF just finished for me but I'm not tracking this time so we'll be trying to DTD every other day (not sure how optimistic that is with a little one!)
