TTC NOVEMBER 2021

@ajayelbee I imagine that certainly helps the situation not having any 😂 thanks so much for the good luck wishes.

Welcome @newjourney21, how exciting! Wishing you all the best for your first month TTC, miracles can certainly happen as I got my bfp first month trying last time, so it can definitely happen for you and @Essexnewbie too 🤞🏼

@Essexnewbie I know what you mean, it’s hard not to get caught up in everyone else’s early symptoms and assume you must have the same if you’re going to get a bfp, which I’ve since learnt is not the case, everyone’s so different 😊 haha we are so on the same page, I’ve been thinking about that today too! 😂 yes I’ve read 6DPO is the earliest implantation can happen, and on average HCG is detectable 48 hours after implantation. I have also read the most common day for implantation is 9DPO though, so we mustn’t get disheartened on Friday if it’s a bfn for us, we just have to wait a little longer hopefully if that’s the case 🤞🏼

@newjourney21 that was my thoughts too, I’ve gone all guns blazing for the first month and figured that over time I might end up ditching some of the tracking if it gets too much. Fingers crossed we’ll have some beginners luck! Me and a few others on the thread are around 6DPO. As it’s the first month I’m going to start testing early and see what happens! X

@Essexnewbie ah it's lovely to be in the same positiongood I'm glad you've said that so that's a relief! I'm using the easy@home ones and I've downloaded the Premom app to track them. It would be a miracle to happen this month but I thought may aswell give it my all from the beginning! Where are you at on your cycle this month?

@SantiagoSister the only way to have restraint is to literally not have any tests to take 🤣

Thank you! Wishing luck and good vibes right back at you. I’ll be keeping an eye on the thread to see how you are all doing.

@MrsLeclerc you’re welcome ☺️ Keep us updated!

Welcome @newjourney21! It’s my first month ever TTC too so you’re in good inexperienced company! Sounds like you have it covered with those dates 🙂 which ovulation test are you using? x

@SantiagoSister aw that’s nice to know about the dreams! I hope that’s the case for me! Also reassuring to know that you didn’t have any implantation bleeding or anything, I think I’ve read too much and I’m like waiting to see it but need to get it out of my head. Is 6DPO the earliest a fertilised egg could implant? Not that we should probably be thinking about it! X

Hope everyone is doing well! I have been lurking in the background but everyone's messages are so interesting to read and it's so nice having this supportive community. CD10 today and I've started to do my ovulation tests, app is suggesting ovulation on CD15 so will be dtd every other day this week! I hope I am doing this right as my first ever cycle for my first ever TTC I feel a bit clueless

Sorry for everyone that had bfn this month, I hope December is the Xmas gift you are all wishing for!! It really is a lot more nerve wracking then I thought it would be!

@ajayelbee thank you for the kind words and link. I will try not to overthink the BFN!

@ajayelbee 😂 it’s terrible isn’t it! So annoying when it drags like that. I’m so impressed with your self restraint of not taking any tests with you! Wishing you all the luck for testing Monday morning 🤞🏼 It sounds like you have plenty to keep you busy over the coming days so hopefully it starts to feel a bit quicker for you, and I hope you have a nice time away with family. And thank you, fingers crossed it’s a good sign for us with the increased CM 🙏🏻

@SantiagoSister @Essexnewbie it feels like it’s been 4 weeks, not 4 days since I ovulated! 🤣 I’m feeling so impatient this cycle! Luckily I’m also quite busy at work and then I’m away visiting family from Thursday. I’m not going to take any tests with me, and then when I get back I’ll be 10dpo Monday morning and might use the frer I’ve got in my cupboard!

I’ve heard that some people do get an increase in CM before their BFP, so hopefully it does mean that for you both ☺️

@MrsLeclerc you’re not out until AF shows up! I’ve seen on threads here that sometimes peoples BFP doesn’t come until 14/15dpo. Someone posted this link which I’ve found quite helpful - www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=10

Ooh @Essexnewbie let’s hope this is something new for us this month which may lead to our bfps 🙏🏻 I did think the same too, wondering whether I’m just hyper vigilant over everything now or whether it is new, but we shall see. Interesting to hear about your dream, sorry you felt a bit disappointed this morning when you woke 😔 I do think they can be a good sign as when I was pregnant before, I had a really vivid weird dream at 8DPO and it prompted me to test the next day and I got my bfp, so I am definitely paying attention to my dreams again now! I never experienced any implantation bleeding or pain when I got my bfp last time, so please don’t worry if you don’t experience any, it doesn’t mean you’re out.

Apart from the increased CM I don’t really have many symptoms to report at the moment, I had strange dreams on 1 and 2DPO which I thought was quite odd but trying not to read too much into those that early 🙈

@SantiagoSister I am the same with the CM! I was wondering if I had it every month and I’m just paying more attention this month or if it’s a new thing? Have you had any other possible symptoms? I had a dream last night that I had implantation spotting and it was quite disappointing when I woke up!

Yes how are you getting on too @ajayelbee?

Xx

@ajayelbee and @Essexnewbie thanks for checking in 😊 I’m glad work is super busy for you this week @essexnewbie, perfect timing so you can keep your mind off things! Ah yes, I do the same when I’m on my own too, we really need to ban ourselves from google 😐 luckily the days still feel like they’re passing quite quickly for me, but I know this will slow down badly towards the end of the week 😂

How’s the wait going for you @ajayelbee?

So possibly a bit TMI, but today I’ve noticed a lot of CM when wiping 🤔 I hear you’re meant to dry up a bit after O, so of course I’ve googled and it’s a mixed bag, some people saying it was a sign of early pregnancy and others saying it’s just the increasing progesterone that does it. But I do unfortunately love a good symptom spot so it’s got me thinking 😂🙈

@SantiagoSister I was just coming on here to message you! Luckily work is absolutely crazy this week so I’m keeping very busy and distracted which is a lifesaver. DH is going away for two days today though so worried about being alone in the evenings and the overthinking and googling! How are you feeling and how’s the wait passing for you?

Sorry to everyone who’s out this month, fingers crossed for a lovely Christmas surprise instead! X

I’m 10DPO and did a FRER this morning (I don’t know why I couldn’t wait) but it was a BFN.

I’m going to try to hold off until the weekend now. Feel a bit deflated as I was sure this was our month.

Sorry to everyone who’s out this month. Hoping that you all get your BFPs for Christmas! Might see you on a December thread in a couple of weeks if it doesn’t happen this cycle.

@SantiagoSister how are you getting on with the wait?

Sorry to hear @WorriedD93 and @Cmacq32 😔 good luck for your next cycles ✨ will maybe see you in a December thread if I’m unlucky this month.

Congrats to all the BFP 🥰😍🥳
I'm out and will be in the Dec TTC thread (if there is one). Who's with me? X

@SantiagoSister I think it’s me out ❤️

Good luck ladies and congratulations to everyone with their BFP ❤️❤️

Welcome @mrsmw132! Totally understand the struggle, I have zero patience too and the TWW is so hard. Do you plan on testing soon or will you wait to see if AF is late first? I’m 6DPO today, feeling impatient but going to wait until Friday before I start to test.

Sorry to hear you’re out @Billymay 😔 wishing you lots of luck for the next cycle! @WorriedD93 hoping AF stays away and there might be a late bfp for you 🤞🏼

How’s it going @Essexnewbie? Hope the TWW is still going quickly for you! Only a few more days until we can start testing 🤞🏼

Sorry to hear @Billymay think I’m out too, negative test and AF due anytime now xxx

Af came this morning bang on schedule. Day 1 now for me. Good luck to everyone in their 2ww xx

@CrumchyLeafs I’ll look out for you, hopefully we will be on the same thread and have a positive. I certainly know that I won’t be as crazy symptom spotting next month. Xx

@Billymay It is also my first cycle, but I am already tired of it and dreading to go through it again... I will definitely join the December thread once AF arrives!

Hi all,

New to the posting! I'm 7dpo after IUI treatment.
Had a progesterone CD21 today it came back at 48 which they said was positive.

Struggling with the TWW- patience of a flea!

Hopefully will get the Christmas present we have been waiting for!

@CrumchyLeafs it’s hard isn’t it… have you been trying for long? This is only my first cycle of trying so trying to keep positive. I’m cramping as I type so fingers crossed period comes now so I can start tracking. Will you join a December ttc thread? Xx
