Nov 2024 TTC 💖

[CoolSummer89]

Hi all,
Starting a thread for people who are TTC/testing in November 2024.

A bit about me. I am TTC#1. I'm 35 and DH is 36, we have been trying since Dec 2023 and this will be our 13th cycle! We've had some basic tests and all seem to be OK, but GP referred us to fertility clinic today. So feel like we're entering the next stage of TTC.

Fertile week is next week. I'm not going to test until a missed period, which will be 14th Nov.

There were a lot of positives in the October thread so hopefully we're as lucky! 💖

Helloo! Can I join too 🙋. I’m 35 on cycle 4 TTC number 2. First one was conceived first try so it’s a bit odd feeling so inpatient when I know it hasn’t been that long really. I’ve tested everyday since 8dpo and all negative, but the negative at 12dpo today stung a little bit more! I could’ve sworn I had so many symptoms, cervical mucus, tearful, crampy etc. period should be due around Sunday or Monday, so I’ve seen a few here on a similar cycle timing to me! 👋 congratulations to all the positives and ❤️ to those still waiting x

Hugs @Clara202 💐

It's so nice to have this community of Women all supporting each other.

I'm 35 and have 5YO twins, worrying I won't have much chance as I've had one of my fallopian tubes removed a couple of years ago and two losses since then. But here we are, still clinging on to hope and keeping positive.

I didn't test this morning as I didn't have any left but going to test tonight, still unsure as to what DPO I am on, 9-11 and AF not due until Wednesday so another 4/5 days.

The more I look at those tests I did earlier I just think they're evap lines, I will keep you updated when I do one later.

Congratulations to those positives and baby dust to those who are waiting still - sending love to those having a hard time of it at the moment 😊🤗

Just checking back in and so great to see the BFPs coming in!
@HonestPinkTiger @Moomoo20 @Triangleflower congratulations!! Delighted for you all 🎊🎉
@Row23 and @Kateb149 sorry for the BFN's but still all to play for this month 🤞 @CoolSummer89 well done on holding off a few more days it's so so tempting isn't it especially when you bought tests.
I'm around cycle day 29, my cycles were always 28 days but last two were 31 and 32 so I think AF will show over the weekend.
I've had cramps and bad back ache for a few days and 2 wipes of blood last night 😣( sorry if tmi) but nothing today but still cramps so fairly certain I'll be out. I'm going to hold off testing a couple more days if the witch stays away. Good luck everyone! 🍀🤞

Also meant to say @Nicola1988 sorry you're having such a tough time, take care of yourself 🙏x

@Kinderbueno89 welcome 👋 sounds like you’re similar stage of your cycle to me. It’s so hard not to symptom spot isn’t it, and so hard to tell what’s PMS and what’s early pregnancy signs. I had BFN at 12dpo today too and definitely hurt!

@Mammyplease i’m the same with cramps and back ache, it’s a shame when you know that AF is likely to come.

Try to stay positive and we can be there for each other next cycle! Xx

Lovely to see some positives hopefully that’s a good omen to those of us waiting.

I’m 7dpo today and determined to stay relaxed and only test next week. Luckily I’ve still got my decorating to keep me busy, which seems to be working compared to previous months. Another coat on the walls today and then primer the woodwork tomorrow and glossing on Sunday.

@wouldlovearoast I feel like I can see faint lines on the bottom two as well?! x

@Wondergirl1111 sadly I can't be, I've just been to the loo and there was a little bit of pale blood, either implantation bleeding or AF is 5 days early which is frustrating as I thought my cycles were regular...if it is implantation bleeding it wouldn't have shown positive so must have been evap lines 😫🥺

@wouldlovearoast not to get your hopes up but I had spotting at 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 9 weeks when I had my son so it DOES happen. I panicked every time.

Welcome @OneGladTiger @Mae2B @LittleGeneral @Kinderbueno89

@Mae2B feel like a fraud giving tips because I never relax. I think just have lots of nice things planned to take your mind off it, and also be kind to yourself if you do get stressed. It's only natural! And even when you're not TTC the week before your period is stressful anyhow.

I'm so sorry @Clara202

@Sugarcube84 oh you are so good. I need to take a leaf out your book for next cycle.

Congratulations to everyone who has had good news this cycle. I’m out this time. AF due Sunday, and all the signs are there that it’s about to start, including light spotting. Will see some of you on the next thread.

Hi everyone! Mind if I join? I'm 4dp5dt (IVF) but don't have any 2ww buddies over on the infertility sub.

Believe that is equivalent to 9ish DPO? Although implantation should be in progress if everything is going well. Driving myself a bit crazy. I've been told not to test till next Friday! (I might get a false positive due to the shot of HCG I had on Monday)

Hope everyone is doing ok, fingers crossed for us all! Xx

8DPO and me staring with a phone flash light 😂 so much for waiting till period missed!
is there a shadow? Please tell me if I’m making it up lol

I can see a v faint line!!

@OneGladTiger ohh omg
I had similar last cycle but then period came so I’m sceptical of these Amazon one step tests

This is me looking at your test @MyGardenDaisies Test again tomorrow!

Sooo weird you say this I'm 9dpo with faint mine and I swear I seen a faint pink tinge when I wiped earlier but I'm also like emmm how can I get positives if I've just implanted?? Unless it's taken a while for the implantation bleed to travel 🤷‍♀️. I've done two tests and see faint lines on both.

Sorry I attached wrong photo this is my second test today

Update! For those of you who had a similar faint line to me (posted this morn) I caved and got a digital ultra early CB at work….and pregnant! Was still shocked when I saw it but definitely reassuring for those with faint lines!! Xxx

Wow, congratulations @HonestPinkTiger !

Yayyyyy so happy you got the confirmation, how many dpo are you again. I think I'll try another brand of test on Sunday

@CoolSummer89 lol that’s me too!

@Moomoo20 10/11dpo af due next Tues! Definitely give the ultra early a go, did a normal one with it and gave the same v faint line. :) thank you guys! Honestly so lovely to see so many ladies supporting one another during something that can be so stressful. xx

I just had pink/ light red spotting when wiping. I’m really hoping it’s implantation bleeding as I’m only 8DPO and usually have an 11 day luteal phase, so it’s too early for my period.
On CD 26 and last month I had a short cycle of 26 days too, so worried about having something wrong 😑

ugh I suppose I’ll just have to test again tomorrow and see what happens with the bleeding.
typically my period just comes straight away rather than spotting, so really hoping it’s implantation!
