TTC November

Today is 10dpo for me and Im sure I can see some faint lines. Not 100% sure it'll stick though, I was really confident I had my usual pms symptoms last week and my bbt took a big dip on Saturday. Just have to cross everything and hope for stronger lines later in the week

Really hope it was good news for you today!

I know what you mean about the age gap, I do that too!

Unfortunately my period started on Thursday evening, as expected after the temp drop. I’ve actually decided to stop doing BBT tracking, for this month at least. I find waiting for the rise after ovulation and seeing the pre-period drop too stressful. Will just do OPKs and try to ‘relax’ 😂

My last 2 cycles have been over 40 days. I feel your pain. I think that stress and tiredness have definitely been a big part of the cause so I am prioritising rest, mindfulness and good food.

Hi everyone,

May I join? I am doing IUI, hoping to be able to do it before the end of the month (I have ridiculously long cycles, so it's hard to predict). It's my first month trying.

I'm hoping to see a lot of you get good news!

(Why is it so hard to introduce myself 😃 ttc is so exciting but definitely scary, and posting it here makes it all so real)

@CatsMcGoo Yes 2nd time is much harder for me too! I think it's because I see my son getting older month by month and recalculating the age gap. Especially as miscarriage due dates pass and I can totally imagine him with a sibling now.

I'm terrified for testing tomorrow at 12dpo. Christmas just seems like such a big milestone.

I hope you're wrong about your temperature and your period never shows!

It’s so hard not to symptom spot! At 9dpo you’re very much still in for this month so 🤞🏻
Sorry to hear it’s been a difficult journey trying for your second. How old is your DC?

I’m finding the monthly disappointment harder this time round than I did when TTC first time, which I really didn’t expect.

13dpo today and no period yet but my temp was 36.11 this morning which is a sure sign for me that it’s coming.

Joining as I should be more or less in the TWW but I haven't been tracking. Cycles the past few months have been weirdly longer, currently CD20. Up until a few months ago I had 28/29 day cycles but recently they've been anything up to 34. So annoying. I have been a bit ill at times and had a lot going on thiugh. If we conceive this would be my first so I'm rather excited. Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting!

Hi all,
10 DPO today and negative. This is our second try. I got too excited last month so keeping a more realistic mindset this time round.

@Thomsonetthompsonfingers crossed for you! I know last month on the day I got a BFN and was gutted my SIL announced she was pregnant, I was so happy for them but crying inside, really tough isn’t it!

@CatsMcGoo day before is the most likely day and 11dpo is still early so fingers crossed!

I'm 9dpo and got all the symptoms of my 3 positive months but that happened last month and the test was negative so desperately trying not to symptom spot. This is month 11 of TTC our 2nd (with a mc and ectopic) and really can't face Christmas not pregnant. Especially when I really strongly suspect SIL is and will announce with great fanfare.

That sounds rough CatsMcGoo, hope you're fully recovered now

Lovely seeing so many positive tests! Congrats to all who have them x

I'm starting my ovulation tests again in on day 12 of my cycle so due to ovulate in 5 days. Its my least favourite part of TTC, get so sicking on weeing on the test things lol

My head is all over the place today. It’s our 5th cycle TTC number 2. Been a weird cycle as I’ve been ill twice, so ovulated late (cd21 instead of usual day 16/17). My temp chart is useless this month due to fevers when ill and terrible sleep due to cold symptoms 😭 Had positive OPK on day 20 and dtd same day, but not on the actual day of ovulation for logistical reasons.
Today is cd33 (usually 28-29 days, but ovulated late so I guess AF isn’t late yet) and I’m 12dpo - usually my period would start on 12 or 13dpo though.
Negative tests 9 and 11dpo though, so tbh I’m pretty sure I’m out. BUT the 11dpo test was in the early evening, and I had drank quite a bit of liquid so I’m still holding out a scrap of hope 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Help…. BFN but temp is still high after a slight dip yesterday! Current 11d luteal phase for me which is consistent. Period was here on 12dpo last month. Am I out as tests are negative?

No I hate that for you! Sending love - next cycle!!

Hi ladies,
May I join also? Loving reading all of your updates. We decided to ttc last week so it's officially cycle 1 CD1 today. I have a 12 year old myself and we share a 2 year old. Neither of which were planned so this whole ttc world is totally new to me and I am just learning as I go.
Everything crossed for everyone on the same journey 🤞

hey lovelies hope your month is going ok! I’m 9dpo today, test was negative this morning. Temps are still elevated. Usually 31 day cycle (ovulated cd20). This evening I spotted a single spot of blood in my undies - nothing when I wiped. Have never had this before, any ideas?

I’m with you @ErickBroch ! CD1 for me today too, beginning of my 3rd cycle ttc AF was running a few days late for me and giving me a slither of false hope too just to make matters worse 😅

onto the next ! Good luck for this new cycle

Sorry to hear this and what a horrible time for it to happen at the airport! Wishing you the best of luck for next cycle!

Thank you, it’s quite faint at the moment so finding it hard to fully believe it!

AF arrived this morning whilst I’m at the airport with a huge delay - lovely! First cycle trying but I wasn’t tracking my ovulation independently. I will try this month to do it properly.

Im 3 days DPO today, we tried that fertility lubricant this time round so fingers crossed that makes a difference.

Congratulations Clarysjb, hope you see some lovely line progression when you test later in the week

Tested this morning with two Premom tests and faint lines on both, even my husband can see them and he would be the first to say no! Went and got a clear blue pack (two blue line tests and a digital) and did one of the line tests and also very faint. Going to keep the rest for later this week when my period is due (Thursday) but cautiously hopeful!
