Hey girls, do we have a thread for November?

Hi hun, somebody has started a TTC November group on this site but not from this group. Should I make a November one or we just join that one?

Hi @Mash0917i did cave and test this morning. It was stark white 😂 I was in two minds of testing at 9DPO as I don’t have any symptoms other than a bit of cramping and some weird stressful dreams. But to be honest ,overall I just don’t feel like I have any real symptoms 😅 feeling deflated today but not surprised.

nausea is very promising though! I think 10DPO is an acceptable time to test 😂🫣 😁 I’m thinking I’ll wait til 11dpo to test again and then hopefully that will give me an answer one way or another.

Aww, it's still too early. Maybe test again on 11dpo. Lack of symptoms doesn’t mean something negative this early on. And weird dreams were always a symptom for me. We are keeping our fingers crossed. ❤️

@Mash0917haha I know. Im hoping I will listen to myself too 😂

How are you feeling? 9dpo today. And I am reminded again why I effing hate the tww. I am SO exhausted after 8 hour of sleep, having the weirdest dreams every night, and I felt nauseous yesterday, don't wanna hope too much so chalking that up to pms. I bought clear blue early detection tests today. So I'm guessing my self control will go poof tomorrow morning. :-p

@Mash0917and to everyone else in the tww! How are we all doing? I’m 7DPO (evening time where I am). I have been symptom spotting since yesterday 😂 fully aware I could be overthinking things, but thought I’d share my symptoms here anyways! Yesterday I had some cramps on my lower right side and a bit at my lower right side back. Lasted about an hour or so. It wasn’t a sudden sharp pain like I remember getting with my previous pregnancy, but it was quite noticeable nonetheless.

then last night and moreso today I’ve had a tiny bit of tingly boob pain in my left boob, which I don’t normally have. I do however sometimes have a bit of pain in my right boob, just never my left 😂😂 CM has also been more on the moderate-increased amount, but to be fair I don’t really know what it’s usually like.

anyways, that’s my symptom spotting report for the day 😅 it’s very small, tiny symptoms, but it’s something at least. I’m thinking I won’t test until at least 10/11 DPO unless I get some more concrete symptoms to give me some hope 😂

Edited

That sounds promising. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I'm on my 7dpo evening today as well. My lower left back and left leg is aching and cramping since this afternoon, almost like af is going to start. Apart from that, nothing! I am telling myself that I am NOT testing till atlleast 12dpo. Hope I will listen to myself. 😂

@Iris2024oh I'm so sorry it was so painful. I was honestly so worried but I found it completely fine, just more uncomfortable. And mild period cramps when they flushed the dye through. But yes it sounds like the pain was from your blocked tube! Fingers crossed for getting pregnant this next cycle! I did have a little hope of that in the back of my mind but sadly it didn't happen for me. I've got to the stage now where I'm thinking there must be something else going on for me to not be pregnant by now, when all tests are showing good x

Iris2024 · 24/10/2025 23:39

@GiveTheGoblinsSnacks Awwww wow! Congratulations! So happy for you! ❤️

@ChaE05 I’ve not had a hycosy before. This was my first. It was so bloody painful! They struggled for ages to get the tube in, they couldn’t see my right tube but left tube clear. They said as was so painful they think there could have been a blockage!

@ttcnumerodos It was painful! 😣 but they think it suggests there was some kind of blockage as it was really painful and alot of pressure. See above but not sure what will happen now as couldn’t see my right tube. Guess will have to see with fertility team next step. But they did say 6/10 woman get pregnant after one and after my chemical I’m hoping I’ll catch again! I’ve heard so many positives about having one hun.

Hi all, had my first fertility appointment today, we are away on holiday soon so just have to do a blood test for my AMH level when I’m back, has anyone had experience with this?

ttcnumerodos · 24/10/2025 12:44

All the best for your hycosy @Iris2024. I'm out this month, AF arrived at 8dpo 🙄 I've got a hycosy early Nov so just waiting for that and hoping ovulation comes after it so we're not losing another cycle to try.

ttcnumerodos · 24/10/2025 12:40

Congratulations @GiveTheGoblinsSnacks- delighted for you 🥰 wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy xx

Thank you ❤️ I’ve got my hycosy tomorrow to check my tubes and flush. I hope I get another BFP soon that stays around. Keep us updated on your pregnancy 🤍

Praying your scan goes well 💛
I had beta hcg done yesterday and came back as 238. No idea if this is normal or not. I was 17 DPO yesterday so approx 4.5 weeks pregnant

Hey everyone! Been a bit absent! Sorry..just life getting in the way.
@Iris2024hope your HyCoSy goes well tomorrow! Have you had one before? I had one last month and it was absolutely fine.
I'm on cycle 12ttc now, due to ovulate in the next few days I think. Have been told by NHS nothing more they can do to help anymore. So now have an appointment late Nov with a private fertility clinic. Xx

underthethree · 23/10/2025 07:09

@Mash0917hi! I am also 5DPO! But I have absolutely nothing to report as of yet 😂 which is fine, I know I shouldn’t notice anything until at leastttt 6DPO so I think that has kept me sane so far. But from tomorrow onwards I’m sure I’ll be over thinking every little twinge 😂

Mash0917 · 23/10/2025 06:24

@underthethreeHow are you feeling? I'm 5 dpo today. Had a day of bad-bad cramping on 2dpo, God knows why. Nothing can be related to pregnancy that early after ovulation. Today has been a mess of too much CM (sorry tmi) and slight cramps. How about you?
