Hope everyone is doing well. I'm out unfortunately, af arrived this morning. I wasn't expecting much tbh as only managed to dtd once on ovulation day itself. DH is due to do a semen analysis early December which falls around my fertile window (of course it does πŸ™„), so possibly next chance will be late December. I could cry, feels like everything is conspiring against us at the moment 😭

CoffeeIsMyLove · 17/11/2025 11:43

@SilverSprings510 good luck lovely!
@Taysonic have you tested yet? You never know, af might not turn up.

I haven't tested since 8dpo, keep looking at the photos and thinking surely it wasn't an evap?! I ordered some tests to get here today but typically they won't turn up til around 8:30 πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ 11dpo today!

Taysonic · 17/11/2025 09:05

Hi all. Sorry been a bit quiet, have been coming on to read but not necessarily reply.

13dpo for me today. CD30. Very much feel like AF is minutes away. πŸ˜… Knew our chances were ridiculously slim this month but was holding out for a miracle.

Great to see some positive news on here! Exciting times!

SilverSprings510 · 16/11/2025 16:06

Hi everyone! CD1 for me today, month 1 TTC baby #2. DS is 2yo. Fingers crossed for us all and congrats to everyone who has had a BFP!

Well.. I didn’t expect this. I was an active chatter on September and October Tww threads. I didn’t end up joining this November one as I was ill and we only Dtd once in the window. some sort of miracle - I’m pregnant!

due date 28th July.

anyone in similar situation to me. Baby number 2 and tried about 5 weeks for this one.

sending lots of luck to you all.

@CoffeeIsMyLovei can definitely see something!!! πŸ‘€

Doodlestar · 14/11/2025 12:11

Negative this morning. Or, possibly the faintest faint line but so faint I couldn't see if there was colour. So lesson learned, don't bother with out of date tests!

We are going away on Sunday for a couple of child free nights so I'll test tomorrow in case anything shows up. If it's still stark negative I'll feel ok about having a wine or two while away, I guess.

CoffeeIsMyLove · 14/11/2025 11:51

@roots6 & @underthethree good luck!
@Mickey1995 Really hope this is it for you, have you had any kind of implantation feeling before? Could that be what the sharp sensation was?
@Doodlestar that's so exciting! Have you tried again?

I'm 8dpo today too. Since I had the dlull cramping and tiny spot of blood at 6dpo I justified using my last easy at home strip by saying I'm most probably not pregnant so why not! Then I got what I think is an evap πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ how frustrating. Not testing until next Monday now, I have one early test left and I don't want to do it over the weekend with dh here (weird I know but thats me!). Let's see how that goes πŸ˜‚

@roots6im officially in the tww now as well (finally 1 dpo). This cycle has felt so long for me already for some reason. Happy now to be at the tww side of it πŸ˜…

roots6 · 13/11/2025 18:33

I’m officially in the TWW, it’s my first cycle since my MC so not feeling too optimistic but trying to stay calm and positive πŸ™

Hey everyone, I’ve been off these threads for a few months after having two consecutive miscarriages in April & July and both were from trying and getting pregnant the month I tried. Now since august it’s just not happening!

im 8dpo and last night I had a very sharp stabbing pain in my left side around where the uterus is. It only lasted a few seconds and took my breath away. Not had any cramping or symptoms since. Just increase in saliva but sure if I’m imagining it. Previous cycles I got pregnant I had more cramping.

good luck everyone

Ohh so hard not to symptom spot isn't it? Not too long hopefully til you can test πŸ™

Saying that, I just did a really silly thing. I posted above that I was waiting to test until tomorrow, but I just ended up doing a test and I think I got a faint positive...!

BUT...the test I used is 1 year out of date ( I talked myself into using it just to see, as its not a "waste" of a test), and I do have 2 more new ones but obviously I just peed and I didn't keep any wee for another test. I think out of date tests are more likely to give a false negative than the other way round

I'll wait til tomorrow morning and try again but what an idiot I am, I don't know what I was expecting 🀣

Doodlestar · 13/11/2025 10:14

@CoffeeIsMyLove how mysterious - I don't have experience of implantation bleeding. I think 7 days is quite early for implantation but certainly not impossibly early?! Do let us know how you get on! 🀞

I'm the opposite re testing, I'm tempted to test today as its 12 dpo but am making myself wait because 1) I missed my chance first thing, and 2) I'd rather do it when DH is home and he will be wfh tomorrow.

CoffeeIsMyLove · 13/11/2025 09:53

Hello everyone! I'm very late but better late than never πŸ˜†

Congratulations to the girls with their bfps, so happy for you! Everyone else waiting really hope this is your monthπŸ’›

Currently 7dpo and very confused so far, I had very light dull cramps for most of the afternoon then just before bed noticed a tiny red spot of blood on the first wipe then nothing after or since! This morning I've been quite gassy.. sorry.
I won't be testing until Monday at the soonest though, I've got this weird thing I prefer to do tests when dh is at work & I'm at no risk of being disturbed 🀣

underthethree · 13/11/2025 05:05

@Mash0917im using easy at home. It’s my second month using them. But my cycle seems very stable, 26 day cycle, ovulate cd13. Get physical symptoms that lets me know I’m about to ovulate. So I guess I’m very lucky that way. I decided to try o strips to just make sure what I was noticing was true ovulation, which it seems it is.

Mash0917 · 13/11/2025 04:54

underthethree · 13/11/2025 04:52

Hi @Mash0917 ☺️ I got my β€œpeak” at around noon CD12. I may have even missed a higher peak (as the number this time wasn’t as high as last months, but the line was still as dark or darker than the control). I probably should have tested earlier in the day as well. But oh well. I tested again by 8pm CD12 and it had dropped significantly. I also had cramps during the day, but they had stopped by evening time. We dtd CD11 at night , and again CD12 around 9pm. I know I should have dtd morning/early afternoon today, CD13, but of course I’ve work etc. so that’s just not possible. CD12 9pm BD will have to do πŸ˜†πŸ€£ will probably dtd again tonight just to be safe.

Sounds like a good plan. Btw, which O test are you using?

@Doodlestar I did! A big fat positive!
thank you for sharing your story, it makes me feel less anxious hearing a similar experience! Thank you so so much!

Congratulations!! ❀️

Hi everyone! Feel like the tww from period to ovulation lasted foreverrrrr this time. So so ready to get through ovulation and on to the actual tww πŸ˜…

CD12 today. Due to ovulate tomorrow I think. I’m pretty regular like that, but I have been taking ovulation tests last month and this month to double check. I’ve had a β€œhigh” result this morning. I’ll do another this evening and again tomorrow, but all signs are pointing towards OD being tomorrow.

dtd last night (CD11, 2 days before OD). Will dtd again tonight and tomorrow hopefully!

honestly feel like it took so long to get from CD1- now 😩 just want to get through the fertile period and live in hope for a few days ❀️

Hey girl, if you're getting high on O test, you're probably gonna Ovulate in the next 24 hours. It's time to get the freak on. :-p I'm on CD11 today and my O tests are still negative. But then I have been ovulating on cd 15-16 for the last 3 cycles. Best of luck. ❀️

7nationbaby · 12/11/2025 20:44

Hello all! πŸ‘‹ I’m back after mc in August, followed by a chemical in Sept and then a mysterious long cycle in October (which I blame on taking coq10) so hoping for a lucky cycle 8! Fingers crossed for lots of bfps and sticky beans for all ❀️

overwork · 12/11/2025 14:56

I like the idea of living in hope for a few days @underthethree! I find the bit up to ovulation fine, it’s the afterwards that annoys me. According to Flo I have 2 opportunities to get pregnant before Xmas and nothing in my way either time except we will be very busy in the lead up to Xmas as it’s our birthdays as well.
