TTC / TWW Feb March 2026

[Anya23]

Hi guys! Moving the January thread here!

@GlittertintReally! Hopefully then! I’m going to do one with FMU tomorrow, hopefully have a clearer result. Good luck to you!

Hi All, joining in TTC 2026! Been trying for 10 months (now age 40!) had my first and only successful pregnancy with my daughter who’s now nearly 2. Have had 3 chemical pregnancies this time around…. DPO 10, no signs! :(

@Glittertint @Emmie93 I’m also due on on Sunday but I’m only 8dpo today (I have a short luteal phase) so haven’t tested yet, planning to test in the morning tomorrow but so nervous. Good luck to you both with your lines, fingers crossed they progress and none of us come on on Sunday! 🤞

Good luck both!! This wait on these faint lines is driving me insane! I’m on my last easy@home test too, I’ve ordered some FRER to come tomorrow but I really want to retest now to just check the line is still there!! But I know it’s not going to give me a proper answer yet

Oh I see, thanks for clarifying! Can I ask how the hot water bottle helps? Are you all applying it on your belly?

Ermm..

yeah on your belly! It’s suppose to drive blood flow to your uterus ☺️ keep a good flow etc!

I can see it! How was this mornings? My bbt has dropped and now I’m too scared to go to the toilet or test!!

@GlittertintI see, thanks! Might try the next cycle, I really don't feel too positive about this one. Was the drop significant? I don't know much about bbt, but maybe a small drop could be okay?
I Have been to a checkup yesterday to see if I could have adhesions after the D&C, and the doc said he might see something on the 3d US but is not sure, so I guess we'll schedule a hysteroscopy just to be completely sure.. I know I'm going crazy over this but I just have to know 😂 again, asked chatgpt and it said that all signs point to me not having it but who knows

I use chat GPT for everything 😅. It’s actually programmed to be really “nice to you” have you tried asking it to the “blunt and honest”? When I started doing that it started giving me completely different answers.

Ah I'll have to try again today, lol
I remember with my MC I uploaded pictures of some tests, where some tests were obviously lighter than the previous day and he still said it's progressing lol so you're right!

Dropped by 0.2! I did a test on a less sensitive as it’s all I could get, it’s 25mIU rather than 10 and there’s a faint line so assume this means my easy@home would’ve risen. I sat in the bedroom like this is stark white and then went to the bathroom after 3 mins but within 10 and could see the faintest pink line! I’m thinking that not 3 brands have evaps so it must be a positive pending!

I also ChatGPT everything lol including average hcg numbers for where I’m at which confirms this kind of faint is normal. And it’s reassured me on the temp dip too but I feel non the wiser if this is going to end up a chemical so just need to wait each day to see if AF comes!

I hope you don’t have any adhesions! I am at the point where I trust ChatGPT a lot hahaha

This is still promising 🤞fingers crossed!
Yeah I hope so too, I guess we'll see! I'll just be bummed if I have to do the procedure to check it, as they do it around CD 8-10, and since I ovulate early in my cycle, we're going to miss the whole cycle ttc!

I feel you! Our cycle 1 I had to have a colposcope with “acid” and my appointment got moved to my ovulation day and I was so gutted to delay ttc another month (we’d delayed 6 months already because of this appointment)! I have heard though if you have a hysteroscony that people often get pregnant after as it naturally helps like dislodge / clear the way! Don’t give up hope yet if you do!

Ah I hope so, thanks!

BFN for me today, I’m only 9DPO but AF due on 11DPO so thinking this means I’m out

@Glittertintthis is this morning. A different brand again. I don’t know if I should celebrate just yet or whether it’s too faint and I should wait lol

after my extensive research on tests, I think your first one is like mine a 25mIU sensitivity whereas FRER is 6-10 so definitely consider yourself pregnant! I’ve got an FRER coming today! How many dpo are you?? I’m 12dpo and ChatGPT said usually the average hcg is 20-70 so it’s why I might only see a lighter faint on my one today if I’m on the former end!

So pleased for everyone with BFPs!

Absolutely no symptoms here and AF due on Monday, which is fine as I suspected we were too late this month. Excited to try properly next month, though I'm so distracted by baby thoughts already I'll be an absolute nightmare then 😂

Joining! Doctor told me to start day 10 of cycle and dtd every 2 days until ovulation. Worried because I usually have pain for a few days after we dtd but trying to go in positive. Today is day 10 so determined not to let how tired I am after stressful week at work stop us 🙃

Ummm…

9dpo today and was reeeeeally trying not to test, but have felt faintly nauseous all of yesterday and today so just couldn’t help myself.

I’m so happy, but also a bit all over the place as earlier this week, my husband found out he’s being made redundant. I haven’t fully processed what this is going to mean for us financially.

Also trying not to get ahead of myself as have a history of early losses. DS1 was 2 months of trying no issues, DS2 was 18 months of trying, 2 early losses, PCOS diagnosis, letrozole! This will be our third (first month of trying! I’m still breastfeeding!) provided it sticks! Oh god, we need to buy a new car!

Welcome @Howeverfar! Do you know what could cause the pain?
@DreamsOfSunCongrats, I hope it is a sticky bean!! It looks nice and strong for 9dpo. I'm sorry about your husband - we had the same problem once my dd was born but luckily we made it work, and he could stay at home with us longer than he would've on paternity leave, lol. Wish you luck!

@Anya23i don't know. But I have bought the little syringe kit incase I can't tolerate so we can still have a chance.

Fingers crossed! It could be hormones, if the pain is after you have sex! I always have it in the luteal phase, it's like being really dry or something (tmi sorry)

. No denying it now. Fingers crossed for you lovely! x
If I’ve calculated correctly I am 12dpo today.
