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!

Congratulations!! 🥰
Do you mind me asking when AF would have been due? My cycles are usually between 31-33 days so just with you saying you’re on day 33 today ☺️

@Aixenprov congratultions!! And so lucky! Cycle 2 is super quick ❤️

Thanks @Laul89 and @Roxybabe! I have been very lucky and have been very fortunate with how quickly it has happened.

AF was due Sunday! But I was so tired I had to have an evening nap on Wednesday, felt mildly sick in the morning yesterday and today so just thought it might be worth trying today. I figured if the symptoms were a pregnancy, I would surely have high enough levels that I'd show if it was on a normal test.

Aww amazing news, congrats! 🥰✨

@Aixenprov was definitely meant to tag you on my last comment 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

I hope that you don’t mind me joining but I got my BFP today. Im about 10DPO. We haven’t been actively trying but also haven’t been preventing either! X

@MsRT congrats!

loving all the BFPs so far… hopefully a lucky thread and more to come 🙏🤞🙏🤞

Just did a FRER test, which was negative but given I have no idea when I ovulated (if at all), I’m not really sure whether that means I’m out or it’s just too early so basically none the wiser. Gah! Annoyed with myself for testing already but also just really wanna know 🙈🙈

@elarcoiris oh no! Do you have no idea even roughly? When would AF be due?

@MsRT congratulations! A lucky thread indeed!

@BCxx According to Clue I’m due this weekend but I’ve been BBT tracking via Natural Cycles and have had three peaks that could have been ovulation but then temps dropped back down again so not really clear whether I ovulated on CD 15, 20 or 24 (today is 28). Will leave it a week or so and test again (although that doesn’t sit well with my natural impatience!) and probably use OPKs next month to try and confirm ovulation!

Morning girls.. well I guess I’m out, the spotting last night has turned into what I’m assuming is AF. So confused after the positive tests 😥 does this mean is a chemical?
Got my hopes up so much. I’ll not be testing early again in future that’s for sure 💔

@Laul89 I am really sorry to see this has happened lovely... It sounds very confusing indeed...not your af due date right... Could it have been a chemical pregnancy then.
Anyhow please take good care of yourself after being through this. X

@Knov20 it is really annoying when af comes early and I had that a couple of times earlier this year then I tested my hormones and they are out of sorts 😕 for a while. Maybe worth checking.

It seems we are both out this month cycle buddy 😑. Well, Good news is there is a new cycle soon, let's hold on to hopes!

@Aprilsunnyday AF was due today and sure enough she came. I’ve been googling and some websites are saying it could be hormonal bleeding, not all bleeding means it’s a chemical etc.. but I think I’m just clinging to straws and need to move on 😥

Hi can anyone help with BBT? I’m tracking for the first month (cycle 11 of TTC).

I had my LH surge around about when I expected - I have used opks for about 4 months now. But my bbt still hasn’t changed by much even 3 days on from the surge.

CD15 36.03
CD16 surge 36.14
CD17 36.04
CD18 36.25
CD19 36.20

I guess I was looking for a dramatic change. I always check temp before any movements although the time can vary give or take an hour.
Anyone have any experience with this??

Hi Everyone

I've just found this thread! I'm on CD25, 7DPO. We've not prevented for a few years but not actively tried. I'm a complete test addict, I'm always testing each month even when I know it's totally not possible! I'm also always convinced I can see a hint of a line when there is clearly nothing there! 🙈

@Laul89 oh hun 😞 are you sure it’s AF? Have you retested to see if the line has darkened?

@UserL95 ahh BBTing can be a little confusing as sometimes the increase is so minuscule it’s hard to see however the app should recognise it for you after 3 sustained higher temps. My BBT takes 3 days after peak OPK to rise. Heres my chart, you can see a rise on CD17, its not that huge though!

@Roxybabe yeah I’m pretty certain.. my cramps are worse than usual and also the flow is a little heavier than what I’m used to. I usually have quite light, 3 day periods.
I tested this morning and a weird line came on the test like this.. it was the wrong way around and in the wrong window.. but there was nothing in the right window 😥 onwards and upwards.. I have my fingers crossed for the rest of you, I’ll still be following along to see how you all do 🥰🤞🏼✨

@UserL95 I don't use OPK (although I think I will this month as I was pretty sure I ovulated on day 16 but according to my BBT is was on day 18?!?! But I use fertility friend as I found it alot easier to see a trend on a temp trend. I also like it as it will ask you to discount temps if they're not done at the same time everyday. Unfortunately it means I have an alarm set for 05:45am everyday but I do go back to sleep after. I've attached my chart from last month so you can see how it looks on that app.

I said I wasn't going to symptom spot this month but I had a really strange electric shock/Fizzy feeling really low down in my lower abdomen.yesterday and my mind automatically thought 'ooo is it implantation!' 😅

@Laul89 oh hun, i’m sorry 😞 hope you’re ok!

@Roxybabe Thank you 🥰 I’m really disappointed and also annoyed at myself for getting my hopes up 🙈 but I’m not too bad considering, what will be will be 🤞🏼✨

I’m so sorry @Laul89. Sending lots of love your way x

So sorry @Laul89 😔

1dpo and feeling annoyed as I don’t think we’ve done enough this month. We managed to have sex every other day in my fertile period including roughly 12 hours after my recorded LH peak. But not the day of ovulation or today due to DH being poorly. I just have a feeling it’s not enough.
Currently taking conceive plus ovulation support and have the fertility support on order. Is there anything I can take in addition to this to make myself super healthy and ready?

@Misspotterscat dont beat yourself up! I felt the same the first time I concieved we only did it once the whole week but it still happened for us☺️ we’ve tried every day for the entire week but that didn’t work so I don’t think it matters too much!xxx
