TTC / TWW Feb March 2026

[Anya23]

Hi guys! Moving the January thread here!

Hey everyone hope you don't mind me
joining. 2 months into TTC baby number 2. First baby took nearly 2 years so I feel like I might be in for the long road again. Currently 1dpo and dreading the wait. Last time TTC consumed my life and it made me so miserable. Desperate for that not to happen again🥲 congrats to everyone with positives!!

Congratulations everyone who has been getting their positives 😃 I tested today with a FREAR at 10DPO. And nothing I think I’m out. I’ll test again Sunday as I am due to go out for drinks. Really thought it was going to happen with the way I’ve been feeling …

Lovely news seeing all the BFPs! Delighted for you all! Fingers crossed they all progress well for you all.

Only 5DPO here and already feeling the tell-tale cramping, so looks like AF is on the way. Damn short luteal phase kicking in and my body being useless!

@tiutinkerbell sorry if this has already been mentioned but have you looked into vitamin B6? It can help to lengthen the luteal phase. I think Agnus Castus may help too, but could have misremembered that.

Oh wow, how long is your luteal phase? I'm 6/7 dpo now, I've been feeling some twinges and lower back pain for one day, but I think it was too early for implantation and I've felt the same last cycle too at around 8 dpo and nothing happened 😂

@Sa11yCinnamon yes! I am taking an iron & vit d liquid supplement as I've heard the same about it potentially helping. No success yet.
@Anya23 usually only aroung 7/8 days, so could be even earlier this cycle which sucks!

I am 7-9 DPO today, thinking closer to 9. For the fist time ever I had some spotting this month about 2 days ago. I also have a lot of cramps and my brain is empty. I am like a zombie lol, also very very tired. AF due tomorrow and I haven’t tested yet, managed to not think too much about it as I have been sooo busy

Yesterday vs today + I’ve started bleeding 😟 gutted that it turned out to be a chemical but it is what it is. Onto cycle 3 but going to give myself a day of feel good stuff + just enjoying my DD! We’ll get there 💪🏽

Oh @Glittertint so sorry to hear that, sending baby dust for next month

Ah I'm so sorry about that!

Oh I’m really sorry @Glittertint . Time to grieve and then onwards and upwards 💪🏻 I had a chemical the cycle before this one so it could be lucky for you too 🤞🏻

Oh I’m sorry, it’s such a rollercoaster isn’t it.

thanks everyone! It is! It’s so cruel too as TMI but wiped once and there was blood but nothing since yet like it’s telling me I’m going to torment you and not give you your period yet 😅

I'm so sorry @Glittertint ! Thinking of you x

Hey ladies is it ok if I join this thread? I’m currently around 5ish dpo we were only able to dtd once this cycle as we were both so busy with work so i’m not feeling too hopeful. I’ve had some right side lower cramps this afternoon but nothing major!

Welcome @Floralxox 👋 think we are at similar points in our cycle. How long have you been TTC? Fingers crossed you hit a good day! Will you test early? I'm trying to hold out for AF, predicted next weekend.

@hopeful4usWe’ve been trying for over a year now. I usually always test early but i’m trying to hold out for this cycle! I might order some cheapies does anyone recommend any specific brand?

10 dpo tomorrow and I’ve decided to do my first test (frer) in the morning. 🤞 fingers crossed! Anyone else testing tomorrow?

Good luck! I'll be 8 dpo, but I'm trying to hold out until Tuesday, might test on Monday!

Very negative frer this morn at 10dpo. I know there’s still a slim chance but I’ve always had faint positives at 10dpo in my previous pregnancies so kinda assume I’m out this month.

I'm sorry@JemRose. How long have you been trying?

Made it to 7DPO with no spotting, so hoping maybe my LP might extend past 8 days this time! Keeping all my fingers crossed even for that! I know it's really unlikely to concieve with a LP this short, but we can only hope.

I’m cycle day 26… unsure what day post ovulation as my cycles vary 30-36. But my god I am wiped out so much at the min, and my boobs feel like rocks.

@xTryingForBabyNo2 that sounds promising..! Are you holding off to test?

My period is due today and hasn't started, I'm trying to wait til Wednesday but my imagination has gone into overdrive.

Mostly annoyed because we're going away this weekend, child free and I needed it to start today to be finished in time!
