End of November testers (TTC August Baby)

Nice strong peak @Roxybabe! If you DTD last night you should hopefully be covered and then just do it again on Weds🤞

Second day flashing smiley for me, but I think I might be close to peak so I might test again this eve… will see how I feel when I get home!

Hi everyone! How are we all doing?

Still quite new to all this so bare with me.. So I promised myself I wouldn’t test early but woke up this morning and couldn’t help myself! I have no clue how many DPO I am exactly, this is my first month attempting to use OPKs. My app says I ovulated on the 4th November however I had negative OPKs from 1st November (CD15) to 8th November (CD22). I stopped testing after this and we had DTD a few times.

I done an OPK this morning just out of curiosity and although it still seemed negative, it was the darkest line I’ve had 🤔 AF is due Saturday/Sunday coming. I then done a pregnancy test and thought I could see a very faint line… but I don’t want to get my hopes up as I know it’s probably my eyes playing tricks on me. I’m aware it’s probably too soon to test especially using these cheap sticks as it says the earliest they can be used is 4 days before AF is expected! But what do you all think? Am going crazy? Am I just wishful thinking here? 😩🤣

Thanks for any opinions/advice!

Welcome to the group @BabyMamma7, indeed hope we can be lucky this month, at least some of us:)
So you are about 8dpo, not too long to wait!

@CreatingLittlePudding
You are definitely not alone 😊
Most places say don't test too early which certainly has its pros. I think sometimes knowing early would help to manage expectation and planning.... That's just me though. 🙈

Hi all!

I am CD21, ovulated CD13/14, AF due 24 November (16 day LP)

This is cycle 8 TTC since my DH vasectomy reversal. I took letrozole 5mg this cycle.

Fingers crossed and baby dust to all you lovely ladies

Thanks ladies for the reply on my coffee question!

@ChloeN, decaf is a good choice I agree. I d think also we are just being extra careful because of ttc

@BCxx, yeah I d say it doesn't matter too much as long as we are sensible. I googled under 200mg is fine on caffeine.
Also, these must be soo many babies conceived after a drink. 😅🙈

@Knov20, I will test around same time with you! Fingers crossed for this month. (or next, and next.. until its bfp😊)

@Roxybabe hoping you got to dtd before he went away 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Aprilsunnyday So glad its not just me! i feel like testing early will help me lower my expectations and not feel so disheartened with a bfn. 2DPO and already bored of the tww 😅😅

Joining 🙋🏻‍♀️ We are TTC #1. CD9, cycle 4.

Using OPKs for the first time this month as AF was super late last cycle and want to be sure of when I ovulate.

Good luck to everyone 💕

@Roxybabe it's hard when life gets in the way of TTC isn't it?! There wasn't this pressure before TTC, sometimes I wish I could go back before peeing on sticks and tracking my cycle etc 😫

@Roxybabe as sperm can live for up to 5 days, you're definitely not out!
I know how frustrating it can be though. DH isn't in the mood for it today, so I'm hoping DTD yesterday and tomorrow will catch the egg!

@Roxybabe that's definitely almost positive. I reckon it'll be a blazing positive tomorrow! I'm CD15 😁

@Aprilsunnyday I'll probably start testing next weekend as if these tests are free haha! I honestly am so impatient!! I'm second guessing every little twinge I'm feeling. I got some cramps yesterday and some today but it's probably nothing!!

Are both of these OPKs positive? The bottom one is the same colour as the control. Taken 10 hours apart.

I swear if I'm not pregnant this cycle I'm getting the Clearblue digital test kit! These strips drive me round the bend.

@Aprilsunnyday I don’t like coffee but was convinced on here the other day when asking about wine that you’re not pregnant til you’ve missed a period so it’l be fine even if you are!

im going to desperately try not to test tomorrow before work then that way hopefully Tuesday’s result is a definite one way or another. I’m not opening my clearblue digitals til I’ve seen the hint of a line on a FRER!

@ChipAndDip maybe early ovulation for you this month? 🤞🏻 you’re not on flashing smileys for too long! Xx

@Aprilsunnyday I drink decaf tea now, only because I stopped drinking normal when I was pregnant before and I think it tastes the same so never stopped! But if I go to Starbucks or costa I would still have coffee I don’t think it would hurt! Xx

@BCxx hehe we sometimes do such things to ourselves, I had the same mistake last month 😅 hopefully the more days will give hope!

@Roxybabe, hope your opk day can also maybe not fall on the day dh is away too! 🤞Although I d not worry because of the before after efforts 😉

Ahh I made a big mistake yesterday, had a latte with two shots when out with friends and it kept me up till 1am... I should have known better on caffeine vs tww too. It got me a bit worried. (although likely no beans to worry about at all 🙈)
Do you ladies have coffee at all in tww? How do you think about it? x

Hi all,

I’ve been lurking but no updates until now. CD 13 and I’ve just got a flashing smiley which is very early for me (don’t usually peak until at least CD20) so I might have flashing smileys for a while yet, let’s see!

The only thing I’ve done differently this month is started taking Proceive but I don’t think they would have an impact on ovulation.

Anyway we’ll start DTD every other day now until I get a solid smiley, then will try a couple of days in a row. 🤞

Mrs I’m not testing til Wednesday has just tested on Sunday🤣 at maximum 8dpo so don’t know what I was expecting! Test wasted 🙈 I only have 4 so I could run out by Thursday if I still need one

@Massi2022 congratulations! 😊 yeah I totally agree. I also think the memory of it very quickly fades. It took us 3 months last time which isn’t long at all but when you’re desperately wanting it to happen every moment for 90 days it does seem like a while. People will ask now how long it took and I say ‘aw really quick, it was the third month’ but at the time it was torture 🙈 must be like child birth haha
