CD12, anyone else hoping November is their month

113 replies

Glago2017 · 24/10/2021 12:05

Hi, I am on CD12 and really hoping Novemeber is my month. Anyone care to join me on this ttc journey? Its nice to talk to people who are in the same situation.

This will be mine and my husbands second child (DH is nearly 4) my periods have been really irregular so started using OPK's for the first time this month. Not had my peak yet but hopefully soon. 🤞

Who will be first to test?
Does everyone test early?
I try to hold off til a day or 2 before I'm due af. I've spent a small fortune on the early response tests and after this long I'm just back on the cheap tests!

I had a 3 day peak again this month 🤷🏻‍♀️ am classing today as 1dpo so it's a long 2 weeks for me!

Rachipops · 03/11/2021 22:06

I'll not be testing until 9/10DPO.. which works out as not this weekend but next.

Hopefully I can hold off! Don't want to fall down a testing rabbit hole! I have premon strip tests here, but saving my FRER tests until then.

MamaKitz · 03/11/2021 22:16

I am going to try wait until 10dpo (I may struggle)! Felt very twingey today (4dpo), but think I'm just obsessing!

OK92 · 04/11/2021 13:32

@Glago2017 thanks! It's strange as my results vary through the day so I can get a seemingly strong positive on a OPK strip sometimes then just a faint line at other times on the same day. This has been happening since CD8 now through to CD17 😒 so I can't really measure progress as it jumps around so much. Hope it's nothing to worry about - I ovulated as normal last month. I'll just keep testing daily and DTD as much as we can manage...and hope I ovulate soon.

How's everyone's 2WW going?? I am on 4dpo well at least I think I am xx

@ok92 its so hard, I'm sure you will ovulate soon.

@sweetbabydust1989 I think I'm 6dpo today and no symptoms at all 😩 I've had sore boobs on and off the last few days but that is normal at this stage in my cycle. This week seems to be dragging in! How u getting on? X

@brightwhite I'm going to hold off as long as I can. If I don't get my AF by a week on Sunday I will test. I will be 16dpo by then but have irregular cycles so we will see.

@Glago2017 I am actually quite good had loads of on/off cramps the odd pinching pain, legs hurt a bit and some flutters which I think is trapped wind I did have some pain in my right neck that went down to my shoulder and arm but I think that's to do with stress as we seem to carry stress on our shoulders.. I no tell me about it the earliest I can test is next Thursday but I might leave it until longer xx

Sweetbabydust1989 · 04/11/2021 16:03

@Glago2017 oh a to add I have the worst dry mouth going it's doing my head in lol xx

@sweetbabydust1989 sounds very promising!! Fingers crossed for us all. 🤞 x

@Glago2017 oh definitely I can't get excited at all though I keep picking up niggles thinking the worst. Hopefully we all get some good news I keep feeling like AF is on her way xx

brightwhite · 04/11/2021 21:55

Well I've got the biggest most sensitive nipples today- even the water from the shower was painful... not reading into it though as this happened about 7 months ago and I got all excited.
Although I saw 4 magpies this morning and thought it was a sign 😂

Has anyone changed their diet while ttc?
Im slightly overweight (for me) and I could do with eating a better choice of foods but I talk the talk really well!

I've had very sensitive boobs today too... I don't usually get this, also a bit of lower back pain and tummy twinges but I think I'm just symptom obsessing! lol

Anyone else going to test early next week?

brightwhite · 05/11/2021 16:31

@MamaKitz hoping it's a positive sign for you if it's a new symptom!

MamaKitz · 05/11/2021 16:35

[quote brightwhite]@MamaKitz hoping it's a positive sign for you if it's a new symptom! [/quote]
I felt awful today, nauseous all day in work so wondering if I actually have a virus now 🤔
How are you today? Still sore?

mightbeyesmightbeno · 05/11/2021 20:48

My sodding CB ovulation testing stick isn't working 😡 Have done 2 tests today and both say there is an error. So going blind this month now as out of strips and just going to keep fingers crossed! Pretty sure it should be in a day or two ... 🤞🤞🤞

@brightwhite I am slightly overweight aswell and trying hard to make sensible choices but when the weather is crap outside and dark all u want is comfort food. 🙈 Tomorrow is a new day (that's my motto everyday these days 🤦‍♀️)

@mamakitz sorry I missed your message. I think I'll test at 12dpo earliest... You?

Glago2017 · 06/11/2021 14:36

@mamakitz I think I'm going to test next Sunday if AF doesn't arrive which means I'll be 16dpo. But have absolutely no symptoms, don't feel any different so not holding out much hope. 😩
How is everyone feeling? Where is everyone in their cycle? X

MamaKitz · 06/11/2021 18:10

@Bundaberg84 @Glago2017
I will probably test in Tuesday because I have absolutely NO self control lol 😂 I will be 10pdo then. I have got BFP before that early but I know it's probably still too soon 🙈

brightwhite · 07/11/2021 08:51

I'm 4 dpo and the sore nipples have completely gone so I think it may have been ovulation related as I have literally nothing now!

I'll try to wait til the day before my due date to test...

Hope everyone is ok let's hope we have lots of bfp's for November!

OK92 · 07/11/2021 19:00

@Glago2017 finally ovulated (I think!) got static smiley yesterday morning and had intense O pain in the afternoon yesterday. Just waiting for temps to confirm it. Tentatively 1DPO and now the TWW begins....!

@OK92 🥳🥳 hope its not a long tww for u. I am 9dpo, absolutely no symptoms so not holding out much hope.

I have been using pregnacare before conception vitamins but have ran out and the only ones I could find in the shop tonight were pregnacare original. Does anyone know if they are alright to take until I get the other ones? X

Bundaberg84 · 07/11/2021 21:24

@MamaKitz 10dpo is still early though ;) I'm gonna be 10dpo by Tuesday as well, let's see how I'm going to hold up then.

Sweetbabydust1989 · 08/11/2021 10:18
