TTC November

Ahhh thank you! Hopefully, I'll try again in morning with FMU!

I can see it very very faintly! Hope it gets darker for you.

Hope you don't mind my jumping in ladies but I feel like I need a few more sets of eyes 😂 10dpo, not FMU but am I tripping?! Is that a line or am i imagining it 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

The last two cycles I missed the exact Ovulation day but this cycle it was bang on. But ChatGPT says it’s best to aim for the day before ovulation so now I am confused lol. I am currently 3DPO 🙏

@ijustwantcake ahh 10days and I assume got could read your positive then!
This is tempting 🤔😉
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

So CD21 for me. However I am sure ovulation was around CD14/15 as had ewcm and then lots of jelly like cm CD16 and CD17.
DTD CD12,CD13 & CD17 missed the exact day so I am hoping im still lucky! Still noticed very slightly ewcm yesterday so now maybe thinking I got it wrong!
The more jelly like cm on cd16 made me think it was definitely it ...
So eager to test early, how many dpo is everyone else waiting to test? X

@Littlegreenpebbles I can 100% see a line. I have this test and a digital as they came in a pack together! Interesting digital came back negative! -- but still early!
Please keep us posted with next test update!! Sending all the luck! ❤️❤️❤️

I can definitely see it but I have no faith in CB. Try a pink dye and fingers crossed this is a good sign!

I'll try to get my hands on a pink dye test. I suspect this was either a faulty test or its maybe a CP because like you say HansBanans its pretty thin.

I'll try in a day or two and report back. Fingers crossed 🤞

@Littlegreenpebbles I can see it but it looks quite thin. I had a similar issue with Clearblue a couple of months ago where a thin blue line was appearing within the time frame but AF arrived for me in the end. Not sure if it was a chemical or a faulty batch. Fingers crossed you get a clearer result tomorrow/over the next couple of days 🤞🏻

Can you do a pink dye test instead? Some digital tests are less sensitive and it’s late in the evening.

Thank you for checking, I read it at 5 mins so I don't think its an evap, but the negative digital doesn't fill me with confidence. I'll try tomorrows and hope thats a little stronger

I can definitely see a line here!

I couldn't wait any longer and decided to test tonight. Im due AF on Monday, and I think Im 10 days dpo. I got what I think is a really faint line. Can anyone else see it?
I did a digital which was negative so Im not sure if Im deluding myself here?

@thismonthsfad I’m typically anywhere between 28-33 days, but the last few cycles have been 30-32. I do exactly the same 🤣

ooh exciting!! How long is your cycle usually? Mine is 25-26 days. Haha last cycle I told myself I wouldn't test until the day AF is due but I ended up testing around 9-10DPO lol.. I shouldn't have bought so many tests!!

@thismonthsfad we’re cycle buddies! Also 2dpo and due on the 13th. I don’t have any tests in the house but reckon I’ll have sneaked one in before the end of next week 🫣

Joining the thread as I am 2DPO - AF due on 13th November. This is cycle 3 for me. I think I will test on 10DPO as i have bought a stupid amount of pregnancy tests so I am happy to use them lol.

I have pcos too! One thing I will say is LH strips aren’t accurate for me at all due to pcos causing false LH rises. I find temping more accurate for me personally. I take 500mg of metformin a day and that seems to level out my cycles to 32 days give or take. I will have the odd very long period if I’m not looking after myself well in terms of eating, exercising , managing stress and sleeping well.

Luckily I was blessed with 2 children so don’t give up hope ! Yes pcos can make tracking things a bit more unpredictable but there is definitely hope of conceiving 😊. Good luck for your first cycle sending lots of baby dust to you !

I second the dragging ! The TWW is just around the corner and that’s even worse ! The waiting to know if it’s a positive or a negative cycle kills me 😅 I had a second batch of ewcm today (CD 17) which is more in line with my normal cycles so I’m hoping this one’s the start of my ovulation ☺️ fingers crossed for your peak !! 🤞🏻

its my first cycle TTC no 2 as well, im thinking of testing on the 12th but we'll see if i can last that long. With my first I think I tested after 10 days

I’m usually 32 ish days too. I’m pretty sure my LH peaked this morning, I’ll test again tonight and see what it says. It just all seems to be dragging!

Hi everyone, I’m joining one of these threads for the first time ever!! I swear I’ve read hundreds over the years when I’ve had a late period but we weren’t trying (turns out I have PCOS and irregular cycles).
It’s cycle 1 of TTC for baby number 1 for me, I’m trying not to get my hopes up because Pcos does make ttc that bit more difficult but I am currently taking some Pcos friendly supplements and I am on metformin (privately purchased through pharmacy) so I’m hoping that does the trick within the year. I’m on CD 8 (usually 29 days but my cycle before this was 43 days).

I’m not tracking ovulation using LH strips or a thermometer just yet, however I am paying a stupid amount of attention to my cervical mucus (something I never thought I would say).

Does anyone have any tips for someone TTCing for the first time? Thank you all and hope to see some positives from everyone over the course of the month!

@ijustwantcake Don't worry about that I am the same as you! What cycle is it for you? Im on cd 18 and 1st cycle TTC baby no 2.
Wishing you luck! What day will you test? X

Fingers crossed for you ! @apples2022 I’m not currently temping as I find it drives me insane and I get rather fixated on it 🫣 I’m just going to assume it wasn’t true ovulation and see what happens around CD 18-20. BD at least every other day and hope for the best ! How long are your cycles usually ? I’m usually 32 days ☺️
