TTC November

Hey! Ovulation is the day after a static smiley, so days post ovulation is the day after that! Good luck!! Im on ovulation day today!

Hi, am I too late to join this thread? I’m 7 or 8 DPO today I think ☺️ I’m never sure, when do I count my O day as if using the CBD ovulation tests? Is it the day after the static smiley?

As if to rub salt in the wound AF arrived a day early:/ on to next month then

So my HCG has dropped from 97 to 52, but that's not as much as they'd have liked so I need to come back for another blood test on Friday to check it's below 15. Progesterone super low at 4. So I think it pretty much means I had a miscarriage but they said they still can't rule out an ectopic so still need to be on the look out for signs. But no intervention needed now. We're going to wait for next cycle to start trying again but good luck to everyone on this thread!

Finally!!!!!! Due to have a fairly short phase between ovulation and the end of my cycle. Any tips on improving this?

Is anyone seeing the line? Came up immediately and hasn’t faded. Not sure if an indent? I’ve got PCOS so no idea where I’m at in my cycle I’m cycle day 36.

@ijustwantcake ahh! Sorry.

I completely understand where you're coming from as this was me! I feel the same too 🙂

Keep positive and on to a new cycle x

I think I’m past ovulation this month now, I’m not using LH strips as I have pcos and they aren’t as accurate. I don’t have a bbt but I will get one for next month. Going solely off cervical mucus I think I am either 1 or 2DPO so officially in the TWW! I have two busy weekends now and then I’ll test on 17th which will make me either 11 or 12DPO. I have sensitive tests so how likely is it they would be negative at 11DPO if I was actually pregnant?

@GreyhoundGal1 so sorry to hear what you're going through, hopefully they can find out what happened:(

I did a digital today (11 days PO which is when I tested with my first) and got another negative so I'm also out for this month- although I suppose technically its out for last month as thats when I ovulated? Either way I'm out. I know it sounds silly because its my first month and, sorry if this sounds like I'm bragging I promise I'm not trying to, I got pregnant with my first on our first try so I sort of assumed in the back of mind it would be the same again

Thanks everyone for your replies and the reassurance, I feel better now. I feel like they scare you because it could be really serious, but most likely isn't they just need to tell you worst case. Will know more tomorrow! I don't have any pain, and the home tests are getting lighter so I think HCG is dropping. Must have just caught it at a weird post miscarriage peak.

@HansBanans That's definitely a stronger line :)

Sorry everyone for the bfn but 10/11dpo is still quite early I think for normal tests so it's not definitely out yet. I think I only showed on a first response with my first pregnancy at that stage.

@summertime94 thank you 🥰

@HansBananscongratulations! That looks like a good line :)

According to my app and based off the 24/25 day cycles I’ve been having since April my period is due today.

This was the first month tracking ovulation with the smiley faces and I didn’t get a smiley until CD13 so I’m only around 12DPO today. Either my luteal phase isn’t a full 14 days, which might explain why we haven’t conceived yet, or it’s a longer cycle this month. Confusing.

Got a lot of the usual PMS symptoms as well so not holding out much hope. Think I’ll test tomorrow morning if nothing happens today just so I get an answer as the wait is dragging.

@Orangeroses243 fingers crossed af doesn’t show for you and you get your BFP 🤞🏻 yeah I’ve ordered some cheapies to hopefully track progression

Sorry to hear this.

My first pregnancy was ectopic requiring surgery but that was visible on internal scans at just 5 weeks 3 days. Sorry it’s been such a hard process for you to get answers.

ETA if you have any questions, more than happy to answer.

@HansBanans I think am being over hopeful thinking "oh I did a 25 and it was on the evening 11dpo before af so maybe it didnt detect 😅😅"
I haven't got a 10 I have a rapid and a digital clear blue left in the drawer. both are 25 il have to go to the shop to stock up for next month I think. Il wait til AF which should be sunday. Cycles around 28/29 normally.
That would be 1 month since coming off the Pill. So if not pregnant Im really hoping its bang on 🙌🤞

Anyway your line is present this morning which is fabulous ✨️ are you testing again I a few days time do double confirm

@GreyhoundGal1 I'm so sorry. That sounds identical to my last pregnancy - I was terrified but it turned out ok. My hcg never dropped so I ended with the injection but I never needed surgery, I didn't have terrible side effects. Next pregnancy you'll need much earlier monitoring after an PUL/ectopic, which I found reassuring. I hope yours turns out to be a normal miscarriage but an ectopic (while devastating obviously) isn't necessarily as scary as it's portrayed

GreyhoundGal1 sorry to hear this, I hope you get some answers soon

@Moosey898 so sorry x

@Orangeroses243 yeah it would, the 25 wouldn’t show for approx 2 days after the 10 I don’t think. Can you try a 10?

@HansBanans looks like it 😁😁😁❤️ x

I have read somewhere to use the 10ml pregnancy tests mine was a 25ml would this make a difference??
Not sure even what it means I guess trying to clutch at straws 🤷🏽

@Moosey898 same as myself. I said i hope by 3 months but soon as we started tying i feel like eager to be straight away ! Think i need to relax.
Hope your ok x

Took another test this morning at 9dpo. Keeping everything crossed that this is it

@Orangeroses243 sorry about your bfn 😢 how long is your luteal phase usually? There could still be time 🤞🏻

Tested again..around 11dpo and as you can see a clear negative! 😞 feel like thats me out for this month unfortunately 😪

I hope to see some positives from others on this thread - sending you all Dust ✨️
