TTC NOVEMBER 2023

[MixedCouple]

Morning ladies.

AF showed up yesterday 16th Oct Booooo. This is my 9th cycle. Made an apt with GP as I am over 35 and we really tried everything so now need some tests and OH to.
TTC No.2. LO is 2 this month. Was hoping for 2 under 2. But ah well...... We plan but God is the best of planners.

Please join! And hopefully we see some BFPs this month.

@pontipinemum the lines look really promising! Keep us all updated ❤️

@Smile2134 really sorry for your loss!

After caving in and testing at 8DPO and getting a BFN and having a sulky moment....we are not on 10DPO and I'm having what I'm hoping is implantation bleeding....or is this too late? It's very light pink and only really there when I wipe (I had this when I was pregnant with my DD) but then this also happened for about 5 days last month before my period came so I'm not sure what to think!
I've looked on the clearblue pregnancy test and it says my first day to test will be tomorrow (that's only 11DPO) so not sure if it's still too early?

Any suggestions?

@TTCnewbies I have a 24 day cycle. From what you're saying if your peak was CD13 then possibly ovulated on CD14 then yes you could be less DPO than you originally thought

Just had a scan and I have a mature follicle!!! Going to get my hcg trigger shot and then we have to dtd for the next 3 days. 🤞🤞

@ceruleansky that's fantastic news! So pleased for you, especially after last month. I'm feeling ok so far this month thank you, but it's always easier to stay positive in the first part I think. We are still following SMEP and CD13 today so will start ovulation tests from tomorrow. Flo is predicting CD19 ovulation and previous months where I've tested it's been there or thereabouts.

Why did I do this, this morning 😭 the cheap strips still have faint lines though. I just wanted to see it in writing

Of course I pulled it apart!

From my googling, I think this means it is positive just to early to properly say it?

As much as I wanted this to happen why is it when you see it in writing that you are still shocked and panic sets in.....is that just me?
11DPO today
😳❤️🥰😵

Congratulations @KM8 I'm so pleased for you ✨

Congratulations @KM8!! I felt exactly the same way 😂 excitement and panic all in one.

Congratulations @KM8 🤍✨

Wow, congrats @KM8 !! I don’t think you can ever be relaxed when seeing those words 🤩

Congratulations @KM8 ! What wonderful news!

Congrats!

I'm not sure if I'm 9 dpo or 10
But yesterday I had a random craving
And today I've ate something that I ate exactly a few weeks ago and it tastes very different...
No difference and from the same batch that it was cooked so?!?

This is making me want to test but I'm scared it's too early

Hi ladies, I dropped off Mumsnet for a while because I had nothing to contribute during and just after AF. I've been following though, congratulations to everyone who has had their BFP it's so lovely to see!

I'm excited because today I got what I think will be peak on my OPKs on Premom (currently says high but this is the highest reading I've ever had even when I fell pregnant with my son). This gives me hope that this could be our cycle!

@hicketypickety
Thank you, that's so kind of you to remember!!
Sounds like a solid plan, I wish you the best of luck! With SMEP is it every day or every other day? Every day seems a bit difficult. I think it's something like every other day until peak and then every day?

@pontipinemum
Those lines were definitely convincing!!
Maybe test again after a while?

@KM8
Congratulations!! So happy for you!! 😀
I love good news on this thread!

My AF arrived yesterday! So disheartening, we’ve been trying for our first since April. I’m getting to the point where I just want to give up.

@Jee95 sending good thoughts your way, I hope you find some solace in these threads there's lots of us in similar boats.

@ceruleansky SMEP is every other day until peak on an OPK then three days in a row - I won't lie OH thinks all his christmases have come at once 😂

Congratulations to all those with BFPs (sorry I've lost my tags for you!) I agree it's so lovely to see, huge congratulations.

@Jee95
Sorry you haven't had better news. We're here for you!

@hicketypickety
Oh okay that makes sense! Yes, good plan!
Haha, does feel like Christmas indeed.
Honestly, the second my Dr tells us that we need to dtd the next three days, I can see DH break out in a sweat. He hates the pressure. Otherwise, he has no hesitation dtd every day. The performance pressure is real.

Thank you! Should be ovulating end of the month so will keep trying. Didn’t realise TTC was so difficult!

Congratulations KM8 and commiserations Jee95 x

@pontipinemum I believe it means it’s just too soon for it to show, have you used a first response early result? What DPO are you?

@KM8 congratulations!

I’m 9DPO today, no symptoms as such my BBT is still reasonably high, I will test pgd tomorrow again with the Mira and see how it looks.

I’ve holding off testing until tomorrow at 10DPO…..hopefully it will be super obvious and I won’t be agonising over is it a line or isn’t it. Last month I had a horrible indent at 9DPO and got my hopes up.

I almost don’t want to test and be disappointed 😢

10dpo had to jump on a work call and couldn’t read test for an hour is this an evap line ?

@Sleepysheepish I can't wait to see your test results. Just popped into the thread and I've been feeling the same way you are. I'm only 3dpo.

I usually have bad PMS symptoms by now, though. Rn only backache and ovary pain (BUT I always have that). So I have everything crossed. Been TTC since May.

Good luck tomorrow!

@Nikki2023 if it was within the testing timeframe I’d say positive…..but it could be an evap. Can you take another?

@Jadehiggs thanks for the luck! It’s really hard isn’t it? I always try hard and am a perfectionist so it’s hard when you’re staring down something that can’t be worked or logic-ed into success 😅
I have one weird symptom that popped up last night, my c-section scar is super itchy! Maybe it means nothing. Maybes it’s cause I was in the pool two hours yesterday. Or maybe it really is a sign lol

Morning everyone. Currently waiting for ovulation here. Ava bracelet says due tomorrow (and was accurate last month) got quite a strong LH test on easy at home this morning so expect peak later today but clear blue are still on flashing smiley 🤦🏽‍♀️ I thought CB gave 48 hours notice and easy at home 12 so now I'm the wrong way round.

Partner doesn't have the biggest sex drive so now I have no idea when to BD!
