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.

Hello everyone I'm 6dpo today and really hoping this is the month for me 🤞🏻

I found out I was pregnant in August which turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy with lots of pain and stress 😭 this is the first month I've been able to try again and I'm really hoping for some positive news this time.

The TWW is so hard 🤣 I just want to know now 🤣🤣

Thanks @MrsHousePlant and @Alwaystired2023. That's really helpful! I'll think I'll go for the 4 day ones then because my peak tends to be pretty rapid. I've avoided CB until now because they're so expensive and I'm a bit of an over-tester but I'm pretty sure I ovulate around CD12 pretty much every cycle so at least I'm able to narrow down when to start using them.

Hello!
I’m CD1 and have been following the Oct and Nov threads with the view to start trying this month.
It’s nice to have a forum like this when you don’t want to talk about it constantly with friends!

Hi hope it's ok to join I'm cd7 of a new cycle been TTC since April for baby 1. My cycles have been all over the place last 2 were 60 and 65 days but hoping this is the one!

@GHJ hey - we’ve been trying for baby 1 since April too! My cycles are 30-32 days. How you feeling about it all? It’s stressed me out and didn’t realise the TTC journey was difficult!

AF has finished today so nearlt time to get trying again 🤞

Hi all I will be 7DPO (according to my flo app tomorrow). When the time comes to test (unless my period arrives before then!) what tests do you all recommend?

I've seen a few things in here about the CB blue dye ones not being correct and giving false readings, then the digital ones not being sensitive enough?

Just wondered which ones you all think are worth buying?

Hi @Jee95 feeling a bit more positive at the moment, have been feeling quite down at times especially with the long cycles. My mum got pregnant with me immediately after coming of the pill so I stupidly thought it might be quite easy for me too and of course it hasn't been yet! How are you feeling? Hoping November is our month! x

@GHJ im the same. My mum conceived within the first month too - I thought it would be easy. I’m feeling a little lonely with it as I only have my partner to talk to because I want to keep it a surprise from everyone.

I had a positive test at 6dpo (two tests!) but had negatives ever since. I’m currently 10dpo and trying to stay positive. My GP said to come back in Jan. if nothing has changed. We’re talking supplements at the moment which I guess isn’t really doing anything. I’m not sure.

hoping this I’ll be our month/year! Xx

@KM8 I personally have never had issue with the clear blue tests I find them easy to read. I normally do a blue dye test then one of the digitals if I get a positive result

I hope everyone is getting on OK & the TWW isn't dragging too much.
I am 1DPO today however we only DTD once 5 days before ovulation so I'm not expecting a BFP, I am already thinking ahead to my next cycle 🤦🏽‍♀️ I think I'm going to try BBT and see how I get on with that. The CB tests are so expensive & so far I haven't been successful with them & my easy@home show low right up until the days before a peak so doesn't give me enough warning.

CD11. DTD even though LH stick negative. Not that far off from 2WW.

Upon reflection this is actually first time I've ever tracked ovulation.

Morning ladies, I thought I would join if that’s ok.
We have been TTC #3 since Dec and have just had my 3rd early loss. I’ve had two really easy pregnancies previously so it’s all been a bit of a shock. I’ve had some initial bloods taken which didn’t show anything and currently on the waitlist for the recurrent miscarriage clinic. I’m 38 so I know that will be having an impact too.
I thought I was gearing up to ovulation but it turned out to be my period returning after my recent mc so I’ll be back to the opks in a few days.
Hope everyone is doing well 💜

Hello! At very similar points in our cycles I’m CD3 so I guess you’re 2?

It didn’t happen last month for us, but I swear I felt implantation cramps. I know what they feel like as I’ve been pregnant before. Is it possible implantation could’ve just failed?

Since it’s only our second cycle I’m not sure if to try different things to help or just relax and see what happens

Got my peak today finally on day 18!! After having a chemical last cycle . Really hoping this is our month 🙏🙏🙏

@musingtoday Yes! I’m CD2 today ☺️ so will match up with you this month it looks like!
I’m only tracking my cycle on Clue, not taking BBT or OPKs yet, not sure if I should! Maybe not this month but do that next month if I don’t conceive this time round?!

AF has finally arrived 2 days late. I've been pretty solidly at a 25 day cycle for the last few months so that's been an anxious few days! Negative tests throughput though. It's arrived on the same day as my fertility appointment as if to mess with my brain that little bit more.

@wanderlustre sorry to hear that. I hate that normally very routine cycles are all over the place when TTC it really does mess with your head.

I’m on cycle day 25 today and my cycles are always 25 days (other than our first month TTC where it was 27…). I feel really anxious about waiting for AF to come tomorrow. This is not a fun journey 😭

@MrsHousePlant It's horrible isn't it! I was getting negative tests but still a part of my brain was like "but you're late and late = pregnant, those tests must be wrong!". And our OHs wonder why we can't just put it to the back of our minds. Our bodies keep trolling us!

Well I'm CD16 - normally ovulate around CD16-20 and I can't see my ovulation tests getting darker yet ☹️
I'm so over this fustrating process but I want to be pregnant so badly 😢 having a Debbie downer day today (no offence to any Debbie's out there lol)

Hey all

We are trying for Baby number 1 in nov
.
Started trying in july

Sadly had early miscarriage in Sept

When we concieved ovulation was day 21

@wanderlustre that is such a pain, I hope your appointment went well. It's so frustrating that stress affects cycles but TTC is the most stressful thing ever

@hicketypickety the appointment wasnt the best news. I've been diagnosed with premature ovarian failure. My AMH is 6 when they class a healthy level as 17 so we've given an immediate referral for IVF.
