TTC November baby

Ekkk I’m still here clinging onto the near fertile window - but so many congrats to the BFPs and the ladies in the TWW now.
fingers all crossed for you

I had a shocker of a fertility appointment

Congratulations @LotzW !!!

@MilkyAndFluffy I totally feel you, I cried all day yesterday just starting to feel hopeless. I got my static smiley today and dtd last night so going to try chin up and 3 nights of dtd and then hope for the best.

Congratulations @LotzW !!
Day 15 of flashing smiley, not pregnant, should be due AF between Saturday and Monday and no pms symptoms at all. I’m 40 and so worried I am starting the menopause 😢

Tentative congratulations @LotzW hoping for a sticky baby for you xxxx

@MilkyAndFluffy I'm sorry that you are struggling, I'm sorry for your tears. I am with you on it, I really am! Talking to you all is really helping me though, so thank you!
I hope this next cycle brings you clarity and above all your BFP! Xxx

@MilkyAndFluffy yes it really is! So yesterday was day 5 of flashy face (I got it wrong) and today is day 6!!! So annoying! It doesn't look to have rised today either higher than yesterday! I swear I'm giving up! I'm just DtD every day or every other at the very least and will pee on the stupid CB until I get a static. This checking levels is really getting to me now as I don't know what's going on! 😕😫 xxxx

@TunnocksTCake Thank you 😊
Where are you at atm? Xx

@LotzW Congratulations! Spotting can be totally normal so try not to stress, lots of people have it and go on to have successful pregnancies.

@Superstorefan123 that's a tricky one. Sometimes the cervix can bleed or its possible it could be implantation but Ive read thats usually pink or can be brownish. But then people have full period type bleeds and end up pregnant so there is a huge variation! Fingers crossed its the exciting option!!

@Mushroo Thank you. Wishing the next few days away and hoping for a sticky one xx

@LotzW amazing news, congratulations!

CD27 and had a bfp this morning 😍
I've had some spotting on and off for about a week though so I'm so stressed it's not going to stick 🤞🏼

Ladies could use some advice! Last night (8/9DPO) I have some very light spotting. It was bright red as if I had cut myself (I checked everywhere and I haven’t) and literally 4/5 dots on the tissue paper.

Thoughts?? Implantation bleeding? Trying not to get my hopes up but it’s so hard :(

@behappy1736 I use easy@home and Premom app, they are easy to read and cheap enough to test multiple times a day to get the peak as mine is usually really short.

I got wondfo pregnancy test for the first time this month and I really like them, they are sensitive and there is no hint of an indent or faint line when it's a bfn, then I save frers to confirm.

10dpo and bfn which I was quite surprised about but know I'm not fully out yet... boobs feel bigger and I've not had my usual pms, but been super emotional this week... we shall see.

sorry im quite new here but you said nov 3rd <3 if i was preg rn that would be my due date according to nhs website! xx

@Maxime34 thats really good to know about the info the fertility doctors gave you, and made me feel a load better (that’s why sharing is caring on this forum!)… thank you ❤️ I didn’t track/test this month but all previous months I have and I 100% get a significant/obvious surge so after your message I’m not as worried and hopefully I am ovulating. I am doing some research into the discharge supplements as we speak, it might help me to figure out my ovulation time more naturally. I’m abit chewed up about it now, but it’s been a lot of an easier month without the crazy testing for a week or so during ovulation, I just get obsessed! I don’t think I’m gonna be able to do that another month as I need control haha and need to know when my surge is

are you thinking of testing at the weekend? I have everything crossed. I’m feeling better today, I think I’ve digested the negatives now and I have some cramping starting so think the old AF is on route ready for a fresh cycle. Not gonna lie, I had a GIANT cry today, got it out myself…. Got myself some new vitamins for conception. Thank you for checking in 🥰 hope you are doing good and enjoying your trip xxx

@Floralsandsmiles your LH levels are super confusing bless you I bet your head is in a right twist. If you did another through the day (not fmu) it won’t have been as concentrated and could explain the dip in levels. Did you try and hold it for 4 hours before using it to test? I’d defo test AM and PM for the surge! I’m praying you get it tonight or maybe in the morning?!?! Keep me posted xxx

@behappy1736 I did upgrade once but I cancelled it. Don’t think it’s necessary really. I use premom and Ovia

Thank you! I've just downloaded the Pre mom app did you upgrade to the premium version? X

@behappy1736 they are much more reliable, tend to get more clear results. I’ve tried numerous and they are the better ones, one box I find covers two cycles generally. I use them alongside premom app

@Nelliepledge this is so hard and I definitely don't have the answers. When I was ttc for my first I had multiple losses and it was the hardest time of my life. I just got to the point where I had to avoid certain social situations to protect myself. It is sometimes 100% necessary to just be selfish and look after your emotional well-being first. If you haven't already listen to the 'BFN' podcast they talk a lot about ivf but also just negotiating ttc and how to take care of yourself and it made me feel so much better. Sending hugs xxx

Honestly @Nelliepledge I’m not afraid to admit I’m often not happy for people 😂 I would never in a million years wish anyone to experience what I have (multiple losses and still not conceived) but I can’t say it doesn’t sting when people get pregnant without trying/first go.

All I can say is give it time… I tend to be a bit tearful and upset for a couple of days when someone close announces but after that I can act normally/discuss their pregnancy/feel OK about it all. I also try and remember that there aren’t a set number of pregnancies - one persons journey doesn’t effect mine, so I try and stay focused on what I’m doing.

sending love!

Thanks for your reply.
What is good about the easy at home tests please? I see they are quite pricey.

Can I ask if anyone has advice on how to cope when close people to you have fallen pregnant? I am obviously so so happy for them but dreading constant conversations about pregnancy and having children when I am struggling

@behappy1736 they aren’t positive but really hard to interpret as they look flooded. You’re just dipping the first 1cm of test strip in for like 5seconds? I recommend easy@home ones 100%

I'm so confused 😕
Two of my OPKs were like this pic attached a week ago then came to nothing not a stronger line or anything but I did one today and it's just one test line you can barely see the second line! I'm pretty sure I haven't ovulated already as I have long cycles and on day 21 today but would an opk have some sort of line then no line if you hadn't ovulated?
Is it possible to have a line this these in the pics and then no line but you still haven't ovulated yet?
