TTC NOVEMBER 2023

That's what I'm waiting to see too. Just makes it so much more real.

@Sleepysheepish well I know I'm the one freaking about lines not getting darker. But when I looked up earlier the median hcg at 10dpo was only 12ml the ultra early tests need 10ml hcg

Well I think I’m out, I did three tests this morning because of last months indent. 2 seperate package FRER and one clear blue early response.
Indent on one of the FRER, no line on the other, and I thought there might be a sniff of a line on the clear blue but it’s the sort where you have to get the light and angle just right and then squint so I suspect it’s nothing. At 10DPO they should have something reasonably obvious I would think. Anyway, I’ll test again tomorrow and probably Tuesday if at doesn’t arrive but I’m not optimistic 😢

Symptoms wise I felt absolutely shattered last night and today and didn’t have a reason to, that’s literally it so far

@pontipinemum i do I have a few more wondfo, a clear blue digital a normal clear blue, a first response digital and a first response rapid in the cupboard 🤣 I don’t know if any of those are the special like “early” ones tho- dying to see the words on a digital but scared of it being neg haha

AF is due tomorrow and I'm freaking out a little. This TWW has been really hard but I don't know wether I should test tomorrow if AF doesn't arrive or not. Last time I tested the day I missed AF and got the positive result it ended up being ectopic. The whole thing is freaking me out a little I'm really hoping for a BFP but I'm also terrified I might not be excited after last time 😭

@KM8 very very true!

@Winterwonderland1 hope it goes well. Even if that's just getting a better understanding of your cycle. I don't have PCOS but 1st time TTC I could go months between periods. It's so annoying. I also had no periods for 14 months after DS was born but I was breastfeeding

I waited till this morning to do a test and no line for me so much have been a evap line. I too was ment to waiting till missed period to test but it’s so hard

congratulations on your blue lines 🎉

Hi all, very first time trying this month. I have suspected PCOS so cycle is a bit of a mess. Praying for a miracle ❤️

@pontipinemum just remember some women don't get a strong line or a positive until 14DPO so try not to worry lovely 🥰 at least you're getting a faint line.

@KM8 I'm 10DPO but I've had faint positives since Thursday (8dpo) I just wish they were getting stronger. Still super faint.

@Blackberry95 ohhhh how exciting!! Ah it's impossible to know. Do you have a test for tomorrow? I have a few one step and premom ones. 1 CB early detection and 2 cb digitals. Might have gone ott 🤣 I live in a tiny village and didn't want to buy the tests here so went to the big town and made it worth my while.

@pontipinemum that's a line! How many DPO are you?

Congrats @pontipinemum and @Blackberry95 🥰🥰

Omg I think I have a faint positive. My husband can see it too on a cheapy. I already threw away the wee so I can’t do a proper one FFS!! Gonna do a FMU sample tomorrow

Hey there similar boat i am due Thursday so trying to wait till Friday or Saturday

Ahh congratulations! Seeing positives at 9 and 10 DPO makes me really want to test but I got a BFN at 9 DPO yesterday so trying to hold out as I feel rubbish every time I see one line! I really don’t know what strategy to take

@Sleepysheepish I didn't think they did first response any more. I did an early CB one yesterday evening, this came up within about 2 mins. Still looks the same this morning. I ovulated around the 25th Oct so I am 10DPO, 9 DPO when I did that test. I told my app I got a positive test and it changed over to pregnancy mode.

@Nikki2023 that looks very similar to mine, and the same DPO's did you do another test?

I did another cheapy test this morning though and they don't look to be getting any darker. But I just read on the CB website that median Hcg concentration by 9DPO is 4ml, 10DPO is still only 12ml so both barely 'pick up able' by tests even the most sensitive ones.

I swore after DS I would wait until I missed a period before testing, guess that went out the window!!

@TrishyLou1111
Have you had the chance to verify this method with your doctor? Because abstinence of more than 3-5 days renders the sperm useless I think? I'm not sure, but you can check on this info if you wish to..

I have really bad ovulation cramps rn.
I noticed last month I had absolutely no pain, and now I'm thinking it's because I didn't ovulate at all.
The month before, I did and I had terrible pain for 2 weeks straight + period pain after so I hope that doesn't happen this time. :(

Hi everyone 🙂 I'm currently in the TWW, trying not to test early, periods due Friday coming so hopefully I can hold out until at least Wednesday 😂

No symptoms really other than typical pms symptoms but I have a feeling that I'm out this month. Keep getting hot flushes which I normally get in the lead up to my period so think it's on its way! Hopefully not though 🤞

CD15 I believe. Landed in the UK at midnight, very exhausting journey. DC has caught a bug, and seems DP and I have too, though not as bad as DC.

I had EWCM discharge while we were exploring for the last time. My fitbit app also says I'm on peak ovulation day. Asda LH test positive, but fainter than yday, also indicating a peak.

So despite exhaustion, we forced ourselves to DTD once again so there could be as many fresh swimmers available to welcome the egg. DP and I have agreed we probably don't need to even hug for next days few lol.

I think we are now in the 2WW phase. Good luck to others in or approaching the waiting period also.

Hi @HRHXO 👋 same as you, I mostly dipped out during and just after AF. I believe I’m 2/3DPO so we’re at very similar points again!

Trying not to get my hopes up this month and looking at the positives if I don’t get pregnant - my sister and I have a spa day planned and myself, DH and DD are off for Edinburgh in a few weeks so we can have some festive drinks!

Congrats to all those with BFPs! X

Hi everyone,

I'm jumping on with you all.

I'm CD12 and got Mt first static smiley on CBOPK. This is my second cycle 'trying'. With my others, we never actively tried.

My question, what do we do now? Do we DTD or wait until it's a solid smiley? My partner has issues ejaculated due to medication, and it takes him AAAAAGGGGEEESSS sometimes.
We have waited a week or so to do anything as his first few times after waiting, he's manages to ejaculate within a reasonable time and don't want to waste that incase he struggles when we really need it!

Should we hold off for a few more days and keep testing?

Baby dust to you all x

Morning everyone. Currently waiting for ovulation here. Ava bracelet says due tomorrow (and was accurate last month) got quite a strong LH test on easy at home this morning so expect peak later today but clear blue are still on flashing smiley 🤦🏽‍♀️ I thought CB gave 48 hours notice and easy at home 12 so now I'm the wrong way round.

Partner doesn't have the biggest sex drive so now I have no idea when to BD!

@Nikki2023 if it was within the testing timeframe I’d say positive…..but it could be an evap. Can you take another?

@Jadehiggs thanks for the luck! It’s really hard isn’t it? I always try hard and am a perfectionist so it’s hard when you’re staring down something that can’t be worked or logic-ed into success 😅
I have one weird symptom that popped up last night, my c-section scar is super itchy! Maybe it means nothing. Maybes it’s cause I was in the pool two hours yesterday. Or maybe it really is a sign lol

@Sleepysheepish I can't wait to see your test results. Just popped into the thread and I've been feeling the same way you are. I'm only 3dpo.

I usually have bad PMS symptoms by now, though. Rn only backache and ovary pain (BUT I always have that). So I have everything crossed. Been TTC since May.

Good luck tomorrow!

10dpo had to jump on a work call and couldn’t read test for an hour is this an evap line ?
