This is my first TWW... and I'm going crazy!

[LilyDaisy3409]

Hi everyone,

I'm 30, mirena coil removed April 13th and regular monthly cycles before the mirena. I have taken preconception vitamins since December 2025.

I ovulated for the first time since the coil was removed on 18th May. We BDed on 14th, 17th and 18th May.

I'm now 6 DPO and feeling very anxious. I really wanted it to work, and feel anxious about a negative test. I know it sounds crazy, as it is my first month trying and I should expect it to take longer.

I plan to test 10 DPO and not before. Is there anybody on here that has a similar story to me, that could give me their advice or reassurance?

Thank you.

Hey it's not my first TWW, but my first pregnancy was conceived on the first month me and my husband tried! It doesn't take long for everyone (my best friend also got pregnant on the first month she tried) and even those like myself who have children already still can not be successful easily.

Don't be discouraged. I hope you get a big fat positive!!!

I'm currently trying for baby no.3! I am in the tww...4dpo! So we're not far apart :)

Thank you so much for the reassurance. Wishing you so much luck too!

I know this sounds really self entitled and selfish, but these past 6 days have felt like mental torture. I've been so in my head about it. I really have empathy for people who go through so many cycles trying. Xx

I also know what you're saying. Two of my friends got pregnant on the first try, so I know its possible. I just keep thinking that it isn't going to be me, even though I know thay factually we BDed at an excellent time, and that my body has never let me down cycle wise.

It's got me really down this week. Analysing everything! What day are you planning to test?

I had my coil removed and 6 weeks later found I was pregnant. Only done the deed once. So it's possible!! Sending you lots of baby dust

I’m also along for the ride 4 DPO, it’s our first time tracking and trying too!! Fingers crossed for us all 😊

@Kirstylee94 You'll have to keep me updated!

Annoyingly all of my symptoms are progesterone so far, I think! Sending you lots of luck xx

Im in the tww aswell currently 4dpo but im already driving myself round the bend. I have my mirena out on the 13th may and ovulated quicker than I though i would.
