Hi all, Starting a thread for people who are TTC/testing in November 2024. A bit about me. I am TTC#1. I'm 35 and DH is 36, we have been trying since Dec 2023 and this will be our 13th cycle! We've had some basic tests and all seem to be OK, but GP referred us to fertility clinic today. So feel like we're entering the next stage of TTC. Fertile week is next week. I'm not going to test until a missed period, which will be 14th Nov. There were a lot of positives in the October thread so hopefully we're as lucky! 💖

I can see a shadow @HonestPinkTiger. How many dpo are you?

32 too, TTC 1st, 4th cycle! :)

I’ve stopped all testing this month in the hope it helps me relax a bit, as I was OBSESSIVE the last 3 cycles and the more I learnt the more I did to the point i’m sure the stress didn’t help anything happening.

Thanks :) I am ridiculously obsessive first cycle I was testing from 3dpo “just in case”.
I think I got a faint line last night …and showed SO, he didn’t look convinced 😂. Are they meant to be darker or is this a chemical pregnancy?!

10DPO and a BFN this morning. Totally expected as I have no pregnancy symptoms. AF due in a couple of days so will test again then. Not out until AF shows!

Perfect example of how much I am a maniac about testing - I decided to randomly do one whilst I was pottering around the house. I know I know 😫

iIs this an evap line? I think it is as I'm only 7-9dpo so I can't see how it would show up so early, plus I did another 2 and there isn't anything on them?

Emmmm I see lines on all three those are positive 🥳

HollyGolightly4 · 07/11/2024 20:49

Really sorry @LolaJ87 ! Mixed it up xx

Moomoo20 · 07/11/2024 20:47

Nicola1988 · 07/11/2024 20:38

Aw I'm sorry to hear that but you're not out yet, keeping my fingers crossed for you and tomorrow is a new day ❤️

Sending you all lots of love 💖 I am trying so hard to be relaxed this cycle, but it's almost impossible!

I had never heard the stuffy nose symptom before! Guess who had a stuffy nose yesterday and is now convincing herself it's a symptom for me! I do this all the time. I'm only 3 dpo too, so it's clearly not!

Ps. I can see a shadow @LolaJ87. 🤞

It’s not mine, it’s @wouldlovearoast with the faint positive! But yeah fingers crossed for her :)

MyGardenDaisies · 07/11/2024 19:51

I had stuffy nose but that was more in the 3rd trimester.

Shellbells44 · 07/11/2024 18:46

HollyGolightly4 · 07/11/2024 17:51

Oh @Shellbells44 you're doing so well. Hugs.

I tested last night as well and was clearly a BFN!

BrightLilacCat · 07/11/2024 18:34

I think I’m out this month. It’s only month 1 of TTC so I wasn’t really expecting anything. I’m only 9 DPO and wouldn’t expect my period until next Tuesday but I’ve stomach cramps (and I’m also super moody according to my DH 😂) so suspect it’s on its way.

HollyGolightly4 · 07/11/2024 17:51

Oh @Shellbells44 you're doing so well. Hugs.

Shellbells44 · 07/11/2024 17:39

On day 30 of my cycle and AF should arrive today. My cycle is never normally longer than 30 days, but then I don’t know if my body is still getting back into the swing of things after my second trimester miscarriage in august. It’s hard because it gets my hopes up 🫣 I just want AF to make a show.

I will re-test tomorrow and see what they look like, good luck everyone 🙏

Kateb149 · 07/11/2024 14:58

Clara202 · 07/11/2024 10:47

9dpo. AF arrived 10dpo last cycle.If it doesn’t arrive before tomorrow I’ll test in the morning.

Let us know how you get on! 🤞

Kateb149 · 07/11/2024 13:03

11DPO for me today! I took a test yesterday which was negative so partly feel like I’ve already ruled myself out… but you never know.
I had what felt like a stabbing pain down below last night on the left side. I feel like it’s too late for that to be implantation so i’m not getting my hopes up 😅
AF due Saturday (probably evening) so i’ll test again Sunday if it doesn’t arrive!
Good luck everyone ❤️

@LolaJ87 This month I really wanna wait till my missed period. Have no sensitive tests this month, have a few normal sensitivity ones from the hospital.

I think your tests look very promising but yea you can't take broken lines like the one of the top as a given, but actually I can see some shadows on the lower ones. Def test again in the morning!

LolaJ87 · 07/11/2024 12:19

@CoolSummer89 when do you usually test? Have you anything good to distract yourself with in the meantime?

I've only just started TTC and I can feel it creeping into my mind all the time so I imagine it must be very tough when you've been doing this a while. Hope the sore boobs etc. are implantation signs x

Ah losing my mind today. I am 8dpo and my boobs feel like AF is coming. Some pulling in my groin area. And also had a stuffy nose, which I have heard other people say is a symptom. But then again… it’s winter so colds are about!

It is rare for me to have sore boobs at this time but did have it in July, so not completely out of character. The next few days are gonna be torture I can just tell. Someone pop me in a coma for a few days.

LolaJ87 · 07/11/2024 12:09

@wouldlovearoast it looks like an evap line or like the test flooded as it is uneven... but I can see a faint shadow on the other 2 tests as well.
