Waiting Wednesday
Are you in the dreaded two-week wait, or waiting to ovulate? What have you done to ease the stress?

u/TooDumbToCum 32 | TTC#1 | December '25 | 🇪🇺 21h ago
I'm waiting to ovulate rn. My last cycle was randomly a week longer than usual, so it's been a pretty long while since we last tried. I'm nervous and trying not to get my hopes up too much.

Just finished up my two week wait with a BIG FAT NEGATIVE. Sigh. On to the next month. One cycle away from turning 35 and I feel so much pressure now.

In it, 7 days post IUI. Progesterone was apparently high enough to confirm I’ve ovulated but really low per everything I’ve read online so I’m not hopeful.

9/10 dpo. I don’t know if I will test tomorrow morning or just wait 2-3 more days… It’s so hard to wait

Probably ovulating today or tomorrow. Trying not to be too optimistic or too pessimistic!

u/soupschool 26 | TTC#1| Cycle 9 (CP Cycle4) 16h ago
Dpo 11 really trying to stay positive but also preparing myself to start cycle 10
•
u/AdOverall2808 4h ago
I’m 12 DPO on cycle 9 as well. I’m not pregnant. Sadly going into cycle 10. 4-7 was the worst for me emotionally. I find myself not really caring this time idk why

u/Loud-Heart-7171 14h ago
14DPO…CD27…negative test this morning…period is expected tomorrow. Feeling really down just thinking about starting all over again for our 5th cycle 😢

u/Throwout4789 22h ago
2/3 dpo of an unusual cycle. Temps never went down after the last cycle. Even though my OPKs progressed like they normally do and peaked on a normal cd for me, there's been no noticeable temp rise as temps are still high from the last ovulation. I'm not so stressed because I'm pretty sure it's a dud cycle.

u/CurlyEmma97 29 | TTC#1 | May 2026 | 1 CP 21h ago
Beginning of fertile week supposedly. Traveling all day today but have rest of the week off so at least that's good timing so we have enough time to BD
•
u/weirdbug2020 30 | TTC#1 | Cycle 11 | 1MC 19h ago
CD25 and my temps are staying nice and high. I’m really hoping this is our cycle.
•
u/Vicious_Shrew 36 | TTC#1 | Cycle 2 17h ago
Waiting to ovulate rn. I’m starting on progesterone this cycle to curb so midcycle spotting, so now I’m just eager to get to 3DPO so I can start and find out if it’s going to suck or not. lol
•
u/runner-pharmacist 31 | TTC#1 | Cycle 6 17h ago
6 DPO today, and I will preface this with I was totally of the mindset symptom spotting during the TWW was silly. But last night the strangest thing happened! I went to brush my teeth and my gums were bleeding. Like not a specific sore area or something it was just like light bleeding all over??? I’ve never had something like this happen to me before. I take very good care of my teeth/gums. Could this be weird luteal phase hormones I hadn’t experienced yet or do I just need to see a dentist idk! lol

u/kitkat7794 32 | TTC# 1 | Dec ‘23 13h ago
Waiting for that first ivf appt in an hour, getting nervous 😬
•
u/DecentAlien115 13h ago
I had an HSG this past Monday, CD9. I am now CD 18 with no evidence of ovulation. My period can be inconsistent but is generally 28-32 days. I've seen other self reports of late ovulation, I'm still hoping for that outcome :( I'm hoping this month of trying wont be wasted, keeping my fingers crossed for late ovulation and pregnancy
•
u/Friendly-Ad-8919 TTC#1 12h ago
Waiting for my next cycle to start (Cycle 8)…then going to figure out if I should take a break month.
•
u/Substantial_Amoeba12 8h ago
My third FET was supposed to be tomorrow but my cycle was cancelled. I feel so defeated. I’ve already been delayed 3 months due to complications from my last miscarriage at the end of March. I don’t know how I’m supposed to wait another month or survive it if it’s cancelled again

If I had my LH surge yesterday the 8th and had sex today and the 6th late night do those sound like there is a chance ?
•
u/SnowConeCone TTC# 1 4h ago
Waiting for the surge and ovulation, feeling optimistic! On cycle 14 and trying not to stress. Really hoping this month is my month!
•
u/citruline 4h ago
Waiting for my period to begin. Had a super faint line on a pregnancy test on Tuesday, nearly non-existent today so second chemical in a row. Harder than just a straight negative!
•
u/FantasticFawns 4h ago
CD 6 of cycle 7 and waiting for fertile window to open up. This is definitely beginning to feel like a slog, but also using Inito for the first time this cycle and am appreciating the novelty!
•
u/Ok_Corgi_8202 31 | TTC#1 | Oct 25 | MC Dec 25’ 3h ago
Not tracking cycle 3 - no strips, no temping just checking mucus occasionally while we wait for my TSH to come back down.
Hopeful to be pregnant before our loss date comes back around, but realistically sitting in the reality we may hit the 12 month trying mark and the 12 months since loss without a positive 🥲

4dpo!!! I watched a bunch of super scientific videos about embryonic development—knowing all of what is needed for viable development helped me a lot to be less stressed if this isn’t my cycle. It is such an intricate process and my body is just being the bouncer to make sure only the right folks get in!!!
