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!

Tested this morning and big fat negative. Now to hold out for however long for my period.

@CityKity congratulations! It's a lot to get your head around but I'm sure it'll come with time and talking with DH

@ScotsBaby2 sorry you got a bfn. I did too this morning.

@CityKity congratulations!!

I have a cautionary tale for early testing!! My AF was due today, I tested last Thursday and Saturday got complete BFNs and was fairly sure I was out as I had early BFP on my little girl. Did a cheap digital from home bargains this morning and it’s positive! I’m still remaining cautiously optimistic with a little bit of disbelief! It’s true what they say - you really aren’t out until AF arrives.

@CityKity @Surprised90 congratulations!! my period was also due today. unfortunately, I think she’s arrived. Looks like I’m out again. Nobody talks about how hard this all is!!! I’m definitely not testing until my period is missing. that test i took 4 days ago, was clearly faulty. Not letting myself believe that it was a real positive and possible chemical as I think that’s worse.

@Elephantrose18 oh I’m so sorry the tests have been inconsistent and messing with your emotions. You say you think AF is coming, but you’re not out until you’re out so 🤞for you.

@marleyandme are you testing again today?! Everything crossed for you

@CityKity I've tested again on my cheapies and the line is stronger than yesterday and also got a FRER and that's got a big strong line so I think I've got incredibly lucky! 😊 I need to stop testing now 😂

@Surprised90 Congratulations 🎉🎉 That's lovely news

@marleyandme Lovely to hear your lines are getting stronger ☺️

@Elephantrose18 I'm really sorry to hear this, it really is tough. Hoping AF stays away for you

@ScotsBaby2 and @Misspotterscat BFN for me today too at 12DPO and I have the usual pms backache so I think I'm out too.

I was sure I had an IB (pink/brown cm) at 8 and 9DPO, but if it had been it should really have shown up on a FRER by today. I'm going to try not to waste any more money on tests unless AF doesn't come in 2 days.

I don't have any pre-AF spotting today, which I do normally have. So maybe it was just a late implantation and didn't happen when I think it did 🤔

I'm not sure we'll try again after this cycle if it doesn't happen this time. I'll be 42 in April :( Maybe it's just not meant to be. Feeling just a little sorry for myself today 🥹

Good luck to everyone still left to test 🧚‍♀️

@BebeYoda sorry about your bfn. AF has shown up for me this afternoon, a day early. Really trying not to be too sad about it. I am currently researching how to increase ewcm as I think that could be one issue with me.

@Misspotterscat I'm sorry to hear that. I've seen on this thread that Evening Primrose can help to increase EWCM. Sending lots of baby dust for you for your next cycle.

Congrats to the BFPs and sorry to those who are out.

I got a BFN this morning 10DPO so feel like I'm probably out. Slightly sore boobs but no other symptoms. AF should be due tomorrow but after ovulating late the app suggest that it won't arrive for a few more days... let's see.

I've decided not to test again until Monday as I've got a big night out with my friends on Saturday.

Does anyone track BBT?
I don't test with ovulation tests and don't really understand how BBT works, so I started taking my temp for the hell of it, so it's been very inconsistent 😂

But can anyway shed some light on what it's looking like so far?
I have read that it's not really a reliable way of tracking anything but I guess it doesn't harm to start doing it! But also can anyone explain how exactly it works and how I should be doing it, things I've read on Google are very confusing! 😂

I'm 9dpo today according to my flo app, 8dpo according to premom, but obviously like I mentioned I don't do ovulation tests so it could actually be way off! 😂 This is when we BD aswel, so my fingers are crossed for this cycle 🥺 we've been trying since end of August after having a miscarriage in July, I'm so ready for our rainbow baby💕

Thankyou!

My period has finally arrived. Day 52. I'm celebrating that it's finally shown up and we can move on!!

Cycle day 30 here, period was due yesterday or today. Still no sign, boobs killing and I'm very emotional, but cheapie tests says negative. So I guess I'm out again this month 😔

This has been the most bizarre month for me of all! Spotting between cycle (never experienced before). AF(?) arrived bang on time but VERY light which is super unusual. Didn’t feel very AF-y either with minimal cramps. However I have had the flu-bug that’s going around so am bunged up and snotty. Could this impact AF?? God only knows

Well AF arrived fully yesterday, on time! it really is disheartening. now onto 4th cycle trying. 😞

@Elephantrose18 gutted for you that AF turned up :(

I'm 11dpo today and it's only thismorning that I've woken up with slightly sore boobs/nipples, I wanted to take a test first thing thismorning but didn't get a test yesterday 🤦‍♀️ so I'm going to pick some up today and take one later🤞🤞 if it's negative then that's the only test I'm doing this cycle as doing multiple tests just to see more negatives takes its toll 😞
I will report back later after my tests 🤞 x

AF arrived today. Having completely obsessed for the last two weeks, to the point where I couldn't get anything done and was convinced I was pregnant, I'm not going to actively try this month, or test for OV etc. If it's meant to be, it will - but I can't do this to myself every month 😅

Wishing everyone still to test lots of babydust, and for everyone else out this month, I wish you all the luck in the world for your next cycle 💕

Aww sorry to hear AF arrived for some of you I wish mine would come or I'd get a bfp!

So I'm CD 32.. late by 1-2 days and I just tested (afternoon) and I swore I saw the faintest line but then again it looks completely negative so I'm probably wishful thinking 😩 can anyone see anything or is it 100 percent negative? ❤❤

@Elephantrose18 awk ☹️ Cycle 4 for me too and I conceived on cycle 3 with my little boy so when we started out I had it as ‘worst case scenario’ we’re still trying 3 months in and now here I am on month 4 🙄 it’s not a long time in the grand scheme of things but it just feels like you’re holding your breath for 4 months desperately waiting for it to happen and you start to have the whole pity party every time it doesn’t happen 😩

@BebeYoda fingers crossed you’ll get a nice little surprise! I feel I’ve hit this point too, ive exhausted my list of things I could google or YouTube videos I could watch on the subject 🙈 getting ever so slightly DESPERATE for it to just hurry up and happen now

@BabyBx pretty sure I see a line there!!

Hi everyone 🙂 I'm cycle 6 ttc #1 and I'm 11dpo today had a bfn on ic today so think I'm probably out but time will tell. How long has everyone been trying?
