TTC NOVEMBER 2021

[Lua2020]

Well… AF came and got me in a big way today so on to the next cycle anyone else TTC November 2021?

Thank you @Billymay xx
To be honest I am not sure as I had a missed miscarriage and ERPC last month so I hadn’t been tracking anything. It will be 4 weeks since the operation tomorrow so maybe I ovulated after the bleed finished at around 10-14 days?

@gvs97 do you have a picture of them side by side? Can again definitely see a line but can't tell if darker or not x

That looks positive to me lovely 🥰 @gvs97

@gvs97 I am so sorry to hear that. Could you try a different brand? I found a boots cheap one to be really good last time. Xx

Thanks all @Natalie2304 @Billymay @WorriedD93 xxx

Here are pics side by side. I have got some Waitrose cheapies but will hold out another couple of days to try them as they say on the leaflet they are only accurate from the first day of a missed period which would be Wednesday in theory. Fingers crossed this is a new pregnancy but not feeling too optimistic yet!

How many days are between them? I’d wait couple of days and retest even tho I know the wait is horrific!

I’m 6dpo today and just feel all over just woke after 8 hours sleep and still feel shattered. :( I’m far too early! Maybe ovulation was earlier than I think but my last period was the 28th October:/ so confused

@gvs97 yea I'd just wait a few days. Definitely hasn't got fainter which is always good and from evap lines I've had before they haven't been that clear if I remember rightly xx

@gvs97 yeah definitely hasn’t got fainter so that’s a good sign. It could just be very early. Hopefully if you can leave it a few days you’ll get a good strong line.

I hate to symptom spot but I've just had a realisation from my first pregnancy...both yesterday and tomorrow i've had a really heightened sense of smell. This is something I got in my first pregnancy before getting my BPF. I'm only 5DPO so still really early and I don't want to get my hopes up but it's hard not to! It's something I've never experienced at any other time!

Hey girls,

Kind of new here, don't really know my way around yet but I have a question.
TTC, ovulation day was 12 days ago and I don't have any symptoms. No nausea, no spotting, no cramps.
Do I still have a chance, is it possible to not experience any symptom and be preggo?
I will test during the weekend so one more week to go through.

I’ve been lurking but would like to join this thread!

Cycle 8, CD 26, 10DPO

Did a boots test this morning, thought I could see something very faint but decided I was misleading myself.

Looked at it 12 mins after (it’s supposed to be a five minute test) and I got this. Unsure if this is the dreaded evaporation line.

I guess I will wait until tomorrow then try again.

@MidnightPatrol that looks like it has colour to me! Congratulations!

@Natalie2304 I hate symptom spotting too but my bra is so uncomfortable today ive just had to take it off, I also feel warm? It’s probably that I’ve put on weight and I’m coming down with something but you just never know until a positive test or Aunt Flo 🙄 abd I could smell my husband’s feet last night so maybe my sense of smell is heightened?
@alexalexalex18 Doesn’t mean your out some people don’t get any symptoms.
@MidnightPatrol I can see a line 😍 I found the boots test the best ones last time I was pregnant.. wait a few days and do a digital one. Xx

@MidnightPatrol that looks like a line to me!!!

Everyone's posts are getting me very excited/nervous for my journey to come and I'm still waiting for my withdrawal bleed to end I can see a long road ahead!!

@billymay I mean my breasts hurt a bit and they are bigger but no veins or change in color. I'm more tired than usual but I'm not nauseous and I didn't have spotting.

Hi ladies, so I had my first dye stealer today (I think) top to bottom is 12dpo, 14dpo, 16dpo, 18dpo.

I feel like the bottom looks weaker than the other two on top though? Am I going mad? Thought this would stop after a bfp :(

@alexalexalex18 there’s some positive symptoms there. In my previous 2 pregnancies I’ve never once had spotting or implantation bleeding and some people get no symptoms at all… it’s a minefield isn’t it and these 2ww are so long! Xx

@winkles23 I don’t think it looks any weaker they just show differently when they settle after the original timing. Congratulations

@winkles23 they all look positive to me too. I'd stop testing using the FRERs now as it will drive you mad. Get a digital if you feel the need to POAS but if you are really anxious a call to your GP for some bloods will help settle your worries ☺️

Hi, yes I believe your in with a chance. I didn't get my BFP untill Pod 16! People told me I'd know before then but every brand of test was negative. She's now 11 months!

Everyone is symptom spotting and I am too! It is so hard not to! I keep telling myself that it's all just caused by progesterone and could still end in a period.. I read somewhere yesterday that "If you have enough pregnancy hormone to get symptoms, you have enough to get a positive test" and that is probably true. Most symptoms don't show up until 6 weeks apparently.

But yet I still have a horrible back-ache and this heavy feeling in my lower stomach! I can't even tell if these are just natural pre-AF symptoms because while I was on BC my symptoms were totally different, but of course that was because of the BC... so I really have no clue what a natural cycle would be like in terms of symptoms.

@Billymay feeling warm is a good sign! Since your temperature is supposed to be elevated after ovulation!

Ok I couldn’t resist and went to get a FRER to back up my slightly vague boots test results.

This came up in three minutes. I guess that’s my BFP?

Now going to be testing daily to see if it’s stuck!

@MidnightPatrol congratulations ❤️❤️ How many dpo are you?
