Anyone want to give each other support? TTC November 2023 TWW

@H938 @LuceNumberTwo I am having some pains on one side, have been for about a week. I might call EPU but suspect I’m too early for them to see.

Bbt finally shot up so I’m guessing I’m 2dpo today.

@H938 Have you taken any pregnancy tests? What was your bleeding like? 🤔

@Pupsandturtles I don't think it sounds eptpoic, are you having pains etc?
I've had that with my previous but it came up on all tests & stayed faint.. Ended in chemical! Hoping maybe its just too early for you & you ovulated/implanted later xx🤞

@Pupsandturtles i think ectopic shows up positive more than faint/negative so hopefully its not that!! Do you think you could have ovulated a little later or do you track that? Can you book with the GP and have a blood test x

@LuceNumberTwo I never know if them apps are correct. I came on but today nothing so only two days of bleeding 🧐 im not sure if that changes my ovulation date but also I think my cycles are 26 days in which case i didnt come on early - the things you learn when looking into it lol! My app says ovulation will be next weekend im so confused x

@LuceNumberTwo sorry to hear it. How early was your period? At least the next opportunity will come sooner, though…

I need some guidance everyone. I’m still getting positives on early detection and negatives on regular tests. Now 17dpo. Has me convinced something is wrong and I’m worried this could be ectopic or something.

has anyone experienced something similar?

Also, what is with these early periods?? 😐

@ButterflySkies Sorry I meant to say, you should take another test! It could be there is a line but the evap has covered it up? 🤞🤞 for you!!! Keep us updated 💖

Feeling a bit better today, had a good cry last night & ate my body weight in M&S brownies 🤦‍♀️ really shouldn't buy the Christmas treats in early 🤣
Thank you to you all for the support 💖💖

According to flo ovulation is on point, lasting forever 🤣🤣 I know it will change when I update with my period ending but bloody hell.. I'm a bit worried as my partner isn't coming away with us & we are going away the 25th - 1st December.. Hoping my peak doesn't fall then, otherwise it will be TTC 2024 for us 😫🫠 I'll have to just take it as it is! X

@LuceNumberTwo its so unfair!! Sending 🤗 Try and focus on other things for the next week or so - then we can start the Dec TWW together 🤞🏼🎁

Oh @LuceNumberTwo - get snuggled on the sofa and get something nice on the tv. At least you know 💜

Yep I’m sure it’s an evap… clearblues should be banned!! Xx

@ButterflySkies I've had one that looked exactly the same.. I think it was an evap, apparently clearblue are notorious for them.. Which is just shit 😫

& Just like that, it's like AF is listening, I'm out, she's here 😞
I'm sad but atleast I know! 💖

Here’s a clearer pic - not editted - there’s a solid white line going through it and it’s think so my best guess is ink smudge / indent given the window…!

@LuceNumberTwo i know exactly how you feel - i keep doing the maths and feeling anxious then sad. It’s so emotional but this is such a lovely support group so thanks ladies!

No early testing next time for me either. Having said that I tested when I got home (before anyone says it - I know I shouldn't have!) as I hadnt weed for about 4 hours and hubby got a clearblue pack (the devils!). And, I think I’ve got a big old indent/ink smudge. I looked at about 10mins… so outside the window.

Thanks so much lovely - I’ll get some! That sounds easy enough, but another thing to obsess about haha! Im actually looking forward to this holiday and a bit of a pause/reset…

OK so because I'm totally mental & insane 🤣🙈 I'm starting to just think I might be just doing the tests way to early.. I've actually looked back & my last few clear positives I didn't get until I was over 12 dpo.. which I'm apparently around 10.. So I'm going to leave it & allow what to happen to happen, it's just feeding my anxiety to test constantly! & Definitely not helping 🙈🤣

Thank you for everyone's words of comfort & support, I really do appreciate it 💖 it's so nice to be given that 🥰

@ButterflySkies It's really easy so I'd recommend easy @ home & clearblue digital (although expensive) track with either flo or premom - with flo it's been pretty spot on with me.. With pre mom you can scan in the tests & it tells you your LH level - very easy to do!!
Big loves to you! If this isn't our month then hopefully December is! For those who are our etc also 💖💖

@Oatmilktea what a positive!!! Amazing news - hope everything from here is super smooth sailing for you

@LuceNumberTwo snap - i tested this morning. Convinced i can see a shadow in a certain light but I know I’m personally wishful thinking. Also feel quite upset today, my DD is being tricksy this week so I had a big old cry in the loo at work. Feel a smidge better for it. Sending a big hand hold and a hug.

@therealpatmustard it’s infuriating isn’t it the TTW, ive driven myself nuts this month!

Assuming I am out as I think I am this month - I think AF is actually going to make an early appearance over here too - how does tracking ovulation with sticks? Ive not done it before so a complete novice! Is it as simple as POAS every morning (though I currently dont ever want to POAS again!)

hope everyone on the thread is doing well too! X

@LuceNumberTwo
Thanks for the advice! I tested this morning and was a negative but I've downloaded the Premom app and will upload my photos each day on there.
Sorry to hear you're feeling so down, it is very disheartening when you want something so bad. Do any of your friends or family know you're trying who can support you? Sometimes you need someone other than the other half.
Nobody knows we're trying as DD is only 7 months and don't want them to judge us 😂

Bbt stayed the same as yesterday and it’s really confusing me. My pre ovulation temps are 36.3 but they have been sitting at 36.5 the past two days. Haven’t checked my cervix yet but I did an ovulation test yesterday and it was pretty dark but negative.

@Oatmilktea congratulations!

@therealpatmustard yes I think you can definitely ovulate 2d after the start of the peak. I use a Mira and sometimes LH goes on rising for 24 hours or longer- and you ovulate 8-24h after the top of the peak, I believe.

sorry you’re down @LuceNumberTwo - it’s such a rollercoaster, isn’t it. And makes it so hard to focus on anything else.

I’m 16dpo now and my easy@home strips are still very faint, so yesterday I was happy and now I’m feeling nervous…. Ugh!

@LuceNumberTwo

Really sorry you're feeling this way but it's completely understandable, just ride the wave and don't feel bad about feeling down, sometimes we need to sit without our emotions and just feel a little blue.

@LuceNumberTwo ahh I feel for you, I know the feeling! If you do come on early it means you can try again earlier atleast - after my first I had two miscarriages and a chemical, one of them was at 10 weeks and I had to have a blood transfusion and all sorts it was horrendos. After that It made me want baby no 2 even more - literally all of my friends say the same after baby no 1 they miscarry before baby no2 it almost seems common. It will happen though! If not this month, hopefully next month 🤞🏼 which technically is in two weeks time. I know it can be heartbreaking ♥️♥️

Hey ladies,

@Oatmilktea @Outliers @Pupsandturtles Congratulations to you all, so so happy for you.

Is anyone else due AF next week? I'm due on the 23rd.

Also a bit of a random question but my LH peak on the opk was on the morning of the 7th so Flo assumed I had ovulated on the 8th, I don't temp so have no way of confirming. But could it be possible that I ovulated later, perhaps the 9th as its between 12-48 hours after LH surge right?

opks are now super faint, I suppose I would be 7 or 8 days past ov, I've used some internet cheapie pregnancy tests today and yesterday but both came back completely white.

Feeling out of the running, even though I know it's too soon to test.
I've officially gone bonkers.

Thanks everyone, it was a BFP immediately I couldn’t believe my eyes. Still in shock now!

@Oatmilktea Wow that's most certainly a BFP!! Congratulations🥳🥳🥰🥰 wishing you a smooth pregnancy🥰

Hey! I took another test this morning, of course.. I still think I can see something but I'm fooling myself.
I've had some cramping, a bit of feeling sick when eating that's all though. Think AF is most likely going to come early.. I'm struggling a bit won't lie, I don't know why I take it so hard. This is the first time since we started that I haven't fallen. Just feels crap! Anyhow, I'm working quite alot this week! Got to just trudge on 💖

Hope you are all good! 🥰 x
@Mummy2823 start testing now, flo is usually quite spot on with my ovu, you should see thr tests start to darken - there will always be 2 lines but the darker they are more fertile! Hope that makes sense x

@Oatmilktea congratulations!! So happy you got your positive!!

@LuceNumberTwo any updates? X

@Mummy2823 I downloaded premom app and you can upload the ovulation tests in the app so it shows you what day you are ovulating - not actually started yet but the app advises to start on the day after you finish your period x

CONGRATULATIONS!! such an amazing feeling!!

I've got my ovulation strips, when's best to start testing? My Flo app says my fertility is high today but ovulation 6 days.
Never used strips before so don't know where to start

Morning everyone, I finally tested today and have a BFP! Bought this test on holiday in France when AF was late a few month ago. I’m in absolute shock!

Best of luck to everyone else who is due to test and sending everyone baby dust 💕
