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

Hi, alI!

I thought it would be really nice to start a new thread. This thread is dedicated to those TTC in November 2023. We can give each other advice, talk through our emotions (because sometimes, hearing from another woman is so helpful!), and at the end of the cycle - update on pregnancy test results.

I'll introduce myself real quick. Feel free to do the same.

My name is Kelsey. I'm 26. I'm from Ireland. I've been engaged to my fiancé, Sean, since September. We started dating in December 2022 (when ya know, ya know!!). We have been trying to conceive since I came off the pill in May. I was only on it since December 2022. Unfortunately, we received a false positive Clearblue digital in June :(. So this TTC journey has been very stressful. I have PCOS and irregular cycles but something seems to be switching up in me.

My last period started October 19th.
I feel I ovulated on Halloween night. We DTD the day before and the day of. It's the first time I've caught ovulation so perfectly.

If going by 28 day cycle since I ovulated on time, my period is expected November 16th. I am so nervous as I want a baby so badly. Something in me is telling me this cycle is different but that little voice in my mind is telling me I'm not pregnant and I'm wrong. I guess we'll see.

Symptoms so far:
Ovary pain (but I have that almost every day anyway)
Backache
And then....nothing.
Which is unusual for me as my PMS symptoms usually begin 2 weeks before my period (whether I end up bleeding or not lol). I often feel nauseas and experience cramping. Nothing so far.
Also, currently 3dpo.

Let's keep each other entertained during that TTW.

Good luck, everyone!!!

Hi all!

Helps so much to read others stories so.you know you're not alone!

I'm 30, currently trying to conceive my 2nd. With my first it didn't take long at all, only 2 tries! But this time I'm on cycle 6 currently! I ovulated (or I think I did) really early this cycle so currently 7dpo. Really want that bfp!

Fingers crossed for everyone!

Hey!

Joining the thread! My fiancé and I are looking to try! Coil comes out on Tuesday 7th November 😬 so will be ‘actively’ joining the crew after then!

Jadehiggs · 03/11/2023 22:42

I should also add it was negative yesterday! Almost blank.

Omg you inspired me to take an ovulation test, too. I am way too impatient lol.

But um!? It's dark!
Totally getting too excited.
I know I definitely ovulated as my cervix was open on Halloween night and it's been closed since the 1st, plus my mucus is sticky and barely there (tmi lol).

Are we delusional hahaha? I'm only 3dpo.

I will do, this is how I was with my first! So hopefully will turn into BFP! Never used opks with my 2nd as it was a surprise :)
I don’t want to test too early but it’s going to be very difficult!

keep me updated with any changes as well xxx

Jadehiggs · 03/11/2023 22:06

Omg!! That is so exciting.
Fingers crossed this leads to something for you. Please keep me updated when you test!!

Hi,

I know exactly how u feel, and the wait is so horrible !

I am currently 4dpo, ovulated on the 30th.

Been TTC for 3 months now, been keeping a track of my LH with OPKs, I peaked on the 29th and ovulated on the 30th after which the levels went right down. Woke up with sore breasts this morning, did another OPK this afternoon and 2 dark lines have shown up! This is really unusual for me!

I really wanna do a HCG test but I know is well too early 😂
