End of November testers (TTC August Baby)

[Roxybabe]

Hey ladies,

Thought I would create a thread for those testing towards the end of Nov/early December.

I'm CD2, TTC first baby. On cycle 5.

fingers crossed for us all!

@Roxybabe in the book I read it seemed to be from the peak and they said really most women are 24 hours, very few are as long as 48

@BCxx thanks, I will assume I ovulate tomorrow! Wish there was a black and white way of knowing!

@TickingTui this is what’s been happening with me since coming off the pill, it’s a short luteal phase.. there’s a thread on here for it! Of course there is 😂

Do you always ovulate quite late? If it was to come forward you would be okay probably. I had really heavy periods the last two months so I wondered about the failed implantation thing too. If it’s a short LP progesterone isn’t high enough to stop AF coming so you have no way of getting pregnant that cycle and it’s just clearing it all away whether your body is trying to make a baby or not! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I took maca root and ovulation was earlier this month

@Roxybabe I know I think that’s why people do bbt alongside it but I know I can’t trust myself to start adding another layer of paranoia into the mix so I’ve never let myself get the thermometer 🙈

@Roxybabe you have however many hours after the egg has been released too where it’s hanging about, is that not up to 24 as well? Your odds from sperm already being in there will be just as good as having another shot I’m sure

@BCxx yes the egg hangs can hang around for 12-24 hours is what I have read. I’m hoping the egg is still chilling there for when hubby gets back but I think it’ll be too late tbh!
That is the benefit of BBTing!! I used to do it but I stopped because I hated seeing my temp drop, then I knew I was out and it put me in a bad mood, not a great start to your day. Although I have been BBTing just these last few days and will check the next few days to see if I can catch a temp rise (although I know thats not how you are supposed to do it) but I kinda know what my normal temps are from before so no harm I guess!

Hi everyone.
TMI I thought I was out for this month lastnight as when I wiped 8pmish after the toilet there was a hint of light pink... thought AF was on the way .... nothing since .... I think I am 9DPO today so now starting to think this may have been implantation bleed ?
Not going to test until at least weekend at the earliest if AF still not arrived.
🤞 for everyone still in the TWW.
Sorry to the others who are out this month. But deffo look forward to enjoying Xmas drinks and trying again next time xx

@Roxybabe fingers crossed for your egg to still be hanging around but if not it sounds like you’ve given it a good shot! 🤞🏼

I woke up feeling heavy and crampy this morning.. starting to think is this AF on her way.. 🥴 ordered some FRERs on Amazon last night which will come today but have read many mixed reviews?! Almost feel scared to test again and part of me wants to wait until Saturday to see it AF shows up but it’s just so far away. I hate the second guessing I don’t do well with not being in control 🙄🤣

I think AF has just arrived 😭 it’s cd27 so was expecting it tomorrow but only 9/10dpo so the short luteal phase thing doesn’t seem to have improved much this month either. If this continues I don’t know if it’s actually possible for me to conceive if it’s going to just keep happening 😔

@Roxybabe cycle buddies! When would AF be due for you?
@BCxx I've got a short LP too, 9 or 10 days. Have you spoken with your doctor about it? Mine have offered me a blood test for check for progesterone to see if I've actually ovulated (this will happen in December) and we'll go from there.

@BCxx oh no 😥 sorry to hear that! Definitely might be worth a chat to the GP if you haven’t already! Sending love! x

Hugs to the ladies who are out… I find AF arriving easier than the TWW but the disappointment is so hard. Take care of yourselves! I tested this morning at 7DPO…. Why I didn’t know lol but it was obvs blazing negative. Was just an IC but the easy @ home ones claim to pick up at 10 miu same as FRER… I’m skeptical! Have picked up some FRERs but will hold off using them til 10DPO.

@BCxx ahh sorry to hear AF arrived! There is a thread on here called ‘short luteal phase’ and the girls on there have recommended certain supplements that have helped (high dose vitamin b6 and vitamin C and other things) and I have read that some girls have concieved easily with a shorter LP so dw too much!! You should check it out! But def speak with your dr if you are worried!!

@JuniperandI i’m due around the 27th Nov according to my apps! What about you!

@Laul89 cramping can be an early pregnancy sign too! So dw too much! Thats the thing that is so annoying about the TWW… the symptoms are too similar!

@Roxybabe 23rd for me. 9 day LP 😑

Hello ladies! I haven’t posted in this thread for a while but just been catching up. I’m now back on the TWW but had a smear today as my doctor said it was all okay to do so! AF is due 25th, here’s to hoping she does not rear her ugly head again this month 😩

Fingers crossed there’s lots more positive tests on this post! Big hugs to everybody with negative tests, it’s so heartbreaking ❤️

@JuniperandI @Laul89 @Roxybabe thanks ladies.. I haven’t spoken to my doctor yet, this is now the start of cycle number 4 but I only came off the pill in August. I think my GP would probably just say I’ve to give it 6 months off the pill first would they not? So frustrating when it happens every month and you kind of know it will.

ive been taking vitamin C, pregnacare, took maca root to bring ovulation forward which seemed to help but still only got to 9dpo 🙄 I’m thinking I’ll ditch the pregnacare this month on the off chance it’s hindering my chances. Going to get B6 and folic acid on its own to try and see if that does anything. We conceived on cycle number 3 last time so I was kind of relying on the fact it would happen within 3 months again but here we are going into cycle 4 🙄

After my post earlier AF has now arrived ... I never have spotting before coming on... but yet trust the month we start trying again to get it 🙈
NVM here it goes for cycle #2 🤞 xx

@BCxx what pregnacare you taking? I found when I was taking pregnacare conception it shortened my cycle and my LP was 11 days, then I ditched it and my last LP was 14 days - who knows if it was that but I have read it can mess with your cycle.

@BCxx yeah I think the GP will just say your body needs a chance to settle after being on the pill! 🤔 but I agree with @Roxybabe I have read things about people saying that pregnacare can mess with their cycles! Worth a try of not taking it and see what you think.

I have been taking folic acid since July.. wasn’t sure what else I needed to take but have bought some vitamin D tonight.. I feel
guilty, is there anything else I should be taking?! 😳

@AliceD7 fingers crossed for you! At least you got your smear done and out of the way! 👏🏼

@Soda123x yep positive thoughts.. onto the next cycle 🤞🏼💪🏼

Congrats to all the ladies on here that have had their positives so far. I hope it's lucky for lots more too!!

I'm on 2DPO according to bbt and CM (cycle 6!) And just wondered if there was anyone else on here that is on a similar stage of their cycle? I'm promised this is the month that I will not symptom spotting......let's see how that goes hahah xx

@Tbark I'm 2 DPO! Had a few normal PMS-y symptoms but it's too early in my cycle for them to be PMS. Probably just my hormones doing their thing post O.

@tbark I think I’m ovulating today as I have been a little crampy so will be 1DPO tomorrow, just slightly behind you!

@Soda123x sorry to hear AF arrived! Fingers crossed for the next cycle!

@AliceD7 I just got my results back from my smear last week, all negative which was a relief and so glad I got it done before BFP as that would worry me. I’ll be due on around the 27th. Fingers crossed for us all!!

Hello all! TTC baby #2. Cycle 2, due AF this Sunday. Cycles have been 35/36 days since I had covid back in the summer which makes it hard to know when to test with early tests. So this week I'm just waiting until Sunday!

Hi would love to join this thread if it's ok. Ovulated yesterday, so will test in two weeks time. Fingers crossed for us all xx
