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

This was cycle 3!!! How lucky am I?! Honestly wasn't expecting it at all.

So only difference to this month from the previous two is I started taking high dose vitamin C & B complex and then normal dose iron, vit D and the recommended amount of folic acid. I started just after my last AF. So for the full cycle. And I have no idea if it was that or not!

13/14 days is fabulous LP! That's great!! But in my mind the vitamins can't hurt. Specially the water soluble ones like C. So worth taking anyway?! Xx

@EmmRach so very lucky!! I love when I see other ppl get BFPs on here! Especially those in their 30s!! I’ll certainly give it ago!! Can I ask what brand and dose you take.

@Roxybabe first time was only the day before ovulation, 2nd time was dtd pretty much everyday of fertile window, think we might of missed day 11
So I guess either way it can work?🤣

@ChloeN helpful 😂😂 I guess it is really a case of luck and I should just stop overthinking it!

@Roxybabe I used preseed 2 years ago when I got pregnant and we were doing SMEP but it was constant and so not enjoyable by the end 🤦🏼‍♀️ This time I’m trying to aim it more for when the test has actually gone high instead of just from a certain day every cycle. Should have really ‘tried’ last night but was too tired, now it’s shot up today so will try tonight. I honestly don’t think there’s any rhyme or reason to how some people get pregnant without trying and some people can’t have possibly missed ovulation yet still don’t get pregnant 🤔 it’s mad!

@ChloeN can I ask whether you have boys or girls out of interest? X

@BCxx i’m going to wait for my readings to rise before I start too! I can’t be doing it all month 😂

@Roxybabe I know lol totally unhelpful but also reassuring in way that if you miss a few days it probably won’t make a difference!

@BCxx neither unfortunately I lost both pregnancies xx

Congratulations on the BFPs ladies!!!!!!

I have just started taking proceive max from cd1 this cycle (I'm 35!) This is cycle 6 and I've been measuring my bbt, cm and cervix.....I'm wondering if its worth measuring for ovulation.....wouldn't know where to start?! Had anyone on here just gone by bbt or should I start doing ovulation sticks?

Congratulations @EmmRach 💜

The OPKs I said I wasn’t going to buy… I’ve tested for the last 4 nights and they’ve all been negative, app predicted ovulation today 🥴 so I can now assume the app is incorrect? Thinking I’ll just have to buy more and test everyday to see what happens 😩

@Roxybabe I'd say just DTD as much as you want, as long as it includes the day before ovulation.

@CreatingLittlePudding yeah I had a coil before first pregnancy and fell pregnant within days if it being removed last time. However this time no such luck for the same thing to happen. Xx

@Laul89 what cycle day are you? Just keep testing, it’ll turn positive eventually!!

@Roxybabe I am day 18 today.. my cycles are quite long, usually between 31-33 days!
Probably should have DTD tonight anyway but my husband is knackered and I don’t want it to feel like a chore 😣
Thank you.. going to get some more tests tomorrow and keep testing.. partly as I’m so curious now!

@Laul89 i didn’t ovulate til cd26 and 20 the last two cycles. I took maca root this time to bring ovulation forward and (maybe coincidentally) now have my peak on cd16. Just keep testing 3 times a day, even once or twice you’d be able to see it go up but to look back on the data I like to know exactly when it started to rise and when it peaked 😂

I was too tired last night and left it, the opks were low anyway, of course woke up this morning and suddenly they’d shot up when we hadn’t ‘tried’ in days. Dtd tonight so hopefully that’s the lucky time.. told him after that today was the day, hid it from him before in case it was too much pressure 🙈

@Laul89 don’t worry, just keep testing, my cycles range from 29-31 days. Since tracking I have ovulated on CD15,16,17 and 19!! You will either see the lines gradually get darker or it’ll just be all of a sudden! But it’s good to get an idea as the apps can be really wrong!

Thanks @BCxx fingers crossed this is your
month 🥰🤞🏼

@Roxybabe yeah I’m definitely going to keep testing as like you say the app seems to be out, glad I noticed early though as we could have been missing the window every month!

I feel a bit crampy today but don’t know if I’m just looking for signs 🤣🙈

@ChloeN oh no 😔 I’m so sorry.. hopefully this is your time now x

My ovulation tests went shooting up to 0.6 yesterday morning so I expected my peak to come last night but it hasn’t yet, still around 0.6/0.7. I think they’re so easily changed by how much you’ve drank as I had hardly anything yesterday. I think peak will most likely be today but only have two tests left now. Only bought 25 this cycle and was determined not to waste them too early but here we are 😂

@Laul89 OR it could be that you have missed your peak this month and you are already in your TWW, You may have ovulated already if you only just started testing!

@BCxx oh no that’s typical! It’s so easy to get sucked in isn’t it 🤣🙈

@Roxybabe I did consider this too! 🤔 ive only been testing since Tuesday so possible that I could have missed it! 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have no tests left now so will have to get some more tomorrow. Aunt Flo is due on the 19th and the app is usually right with that give or take a day! So we shall see 😬🤞🏼

Hi,

just wondering what everyone thinks of these tests, top is yesterday bottom this morning. I think I’m 14dpo so seems very faint?

Definitely positive @Tryingfortwo congratulations x x x

It looks like it's progressing @Tryingfortwo so I would try not to stress about it too much.

I've never been that great at taking my own advice though! I have successfully managed not to start on the OPKs yet but I did treat myself to a thermometer. I also got the procieve powder as the well woman tablets made me feel a bit sick all the time.

Don't know how much we will manage to DTD this month as DH is having an operation but I'm going to aim for every other day.
