November thread 🤞🏼🩷

[Emiily887]

Hey ladies🩷

New thread for those wanting to come over for hopefully a lucky November!!

CD 5 today, af seems to be tailing off now. How is everyone doing?

I’m CD10 today so hopefully within the next week I should ovulate. I haven’t taken aspirin, letrozole or any OPKs this month and don’t plan to. Will just DTD around when I’d usually get a peak test and keep my fingers crossed, want to see if taking the pressure off helps xxx

@Justbloodylovecrisps thank you, it's all very early but I do feel hopeful. I'm having a stupid panic now though. Is it normal that these tests fade? I don't think I've seen them do that before but I haven't used these ones. Excuse my manky bathroom sink

@LucyLou0527 i think that’s a great plan to take the pressure off for a bit and see if that helps. I really think a relaxed mindset does benefit. It’s so hard isn’t it but good that you’re trying something new this cycle! Fingers crossed for you lovely as you go into ovulation week 🤞💕
@MrsS11 how many dpo are you? I think those tests can be a bit funny with lines from what I’ve heard, I used one last cycle and I’m glad I know not to read tests after 10 minutes as there was a vv faint line there afterwards! and as I was saying earlier to another one of you ladies I really don’t rate clear blue that much, I do think your lines look like legit lines though , but maybe worth doing another brand to help you feel more re assured?
totally get the anxiety, it’s not stupid at all, I know when I do finally get my bfp im going to be fretting that it stays!

Evening ladies!🩷
@LuxyLocket @Justbloodylovecrisps my BBT shot up to 37.36 this morning so I took a normal in ear reading and my temp was up - I think I’ve just got a temperature because of the sickness bug last week and got abit of a cold now too so that explains it? OPK are gradually getting darker today I think so I’m hopefully on track to ovulate cd 17/18.
@MrsS11 clear blue are both awful for false positives and awful for early lines. This was my clear blue line with my son a few years ago… this was the day after missed period and other tests were much stronger so I wouldn’t worry🥰

@MrsS11 that looks positive to me! The lines are usually super thin if they are evaps on clear blue! Get yourself a FRER off amazon, they are the gold standard!

@Emiily887 if it goes up again tomorrow you might have ovulated? Maybe the peak was in the middle of the night? Sounds like you've covered all bases with DTD though, so you will have caught it if you did!

@LuxyLocket well I went to Asda today so I just picked some up & I've done a test obv 😆 it was only a 25miu one so holding on to that! I'm 9dpo earliest so I do think this means I am out this month. Ohh you've not got long to wait! I have a good feeling for you, it sounds like you've got some good symptoms xx

13 dpo today still crampy, tired and boobs hurt a little here and there. No sign of AF yet. I hope she stays away this month.

Hi all- I’ve been a silent reader for a while and been ttc #1 for 6 months and just got my first positive test. I’m 13 dpo worried it’s a bit faint? I was getting negatives at 10 and 11 dpo so thought I was out!

Sorry I forgot to add images!!

Hi @Runsandbuns 🫶🏼
Welcome and congratulations!! These are wonderful lines for 13dpo! Definitely nothing to suggest you should worry. Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy🥲🩷

Hi ladies,
@Runsandbuns those look good lines for 13 dpo, the wonfros (I’m sure they look like wonfros) look very clear. Clear blue always comes up lighter I find. My last pregnancy the clear blue dye was light than the cheapie! congrats lovely and hope the lines keep progressing for you!
@Justbloodylovecrisps good idea on the Asda cheapies! The fact the test was 25miu is re assuring though as if that’s not picking anything up at 9dpo that’s quite normal I think. I’m holding out hope for you I reckon you’re still in with a good chance! 10dpo today?
@Emiily887 how are you doing, do you think you’ve had your peak now?

Only 7dpo here but I’m keeping an eye on my boobs (LOL) they feel sore similar to what I felt when I was pregnant last time…. Look swollen and heavier too. But I’m not assuming too much from that as can also be a pms symptom. Oh why do they have to be so similar!
@Lauren32495 crampy and sore boobs are a good sign though.🤞🤞 I’ve been the same, but I’m staying guarded just incase.
im sooo tired I’ve been laying down as soon as i get in from work, but then I do work in a school so tricky to tell if its from chaotic days or another reason!

7dpo and I am trying to be more chill this month but the craziness has already gotten to me and I have already tested. I have had some cramps, bad indigestion and boobs are slightly sore.
Although the test is negative, I feel like it isnt completely white if I zoom in 🤦
Going to try to hold off testing again until 9dpo

Forgot to attach the picture of my test

Catching up on everyone's updates - exciting to see some BFPs appearing!
I am at peak on CD13 today - exactly the same as last month - got my static smiley this morning after having blank circles yesterday. I really do never get a flashing smiley😄 my only warning that peak is on its way is EWCM, which I had at the weekend! My first month using BBT so I'm looking forward to tracking with that and being able to (hopefully) confirm ovulation this time.

@Mummysparrow I can see it!
🤞 for you

@Tadpolecat glad I am not just going crazy and there is a potential something there 😂
Hopefully BBT works for you. I wake up to much in the night to be able to check BBT 😕

Thanks everyone for your positive responses. I know this sounds silly but I’m petrified that it’s going to end in a chemical pregnancy and want to keep testing, but should probably wait until tomorrow morning to test again? I’ve never had any lines ever before, just constant BFNs so this is all very new to me.
Don't have much symptoms, slightly crampy but doesn’t feel like PMS cramps, sore boobs(but always have them at this stage) and very slightly nauseous.
i guess it’s just the waiting game and hoping lines get darker tomorrow.
sending everyone all the positive vibes x

I'd love to join! Currently in TWW. I'm around 11dpo and yes I have peed on countless sticks and I am not ashamed 🤣 I have MAJOR line eyes and convince myself there's a line every time even though it's stark white. Then I stand with my phone torch trying to find one lol!
Had what I think was IB around 3 days ago. Af is due in 4 days or so. Had mega short sharp pains on the morning before I had IB. Unusual for me to spot 7 days before AF is due. Also have had weird fluttering/pulling/wavy sensations in my uterus for the past few days sporadically although seems to have died down now.
Sending you all baby dust!! ✨

@Runsandbuns 💕💕its not silly at all I feel exactly the same. All feelings are welcome here! Some of us are a bunch of crazy testers, me included, so absolutely no judgement here! Even when you see a line it’s a happy feeling but then turns into anxiety because you want it to stay! Totally get it.
I did an easy@home this morning and saw a vvvvv faint shadow as if something was trying to come out but I’m only 7dpo so will try again tomorrow.
my initial plan of waiting til the end of the week really didnt work haha
my sore boobs and increased cm are giving me some subtle signs but I’m staying levelheaded as I had similar things the last 2 cycles and AF came.

welcome @sugardust90 💕I giggled at your description of you looking at lines, I’m exactly the same!
your symptoms sound very promising!!

Why do we do it to ourselves 🤣 I just have ZERO patience! Oh I do hope so! I've driven myself to the brink of insanity so much that I'm hoping it's for a good reason 😂 tmi but I just had some thick yellow discharge in my underwear (sorry!). Unsure if this is another sign or just me being crazy 🙃 how many dpo are you and have you had any symptoms? X

Thanks for reassurance @LuxyLocket ! Feel like anxiety is eating me up because I just want the lines to stay!
exciting re faint line at 7dpo! Sending all the baby dust 💕

Hi gals. Still here reading the thread and catching up! I normally ovulate today, CD18 & then period day 32. But so far today I haven’t. I’m now thinking was my peak CD11 & I’ve missed it with the OPK? I have had 3 26-28 day cycles at the beginning of the year so not completely impossible. So confused & fed up of testing & DTD!!!😢 I did do a third OPK yesterday evening but urine was v diluted & it was a low result.

@Emiily887 what's your BBT saying today?? Has it dropped back down?

@LuxyLocket well I tested again today & BFN, it even a hint of a line! I'm 10DPO, so thinking I'm defo out!

So defo got my peak yesterday so thinking ovulation today as I have had few cramping sensations which I normally get around ovulation, little late for me on cd17, normally cd14 but things have been hectic around house so putting it down to that!
Love seeing some bfp coming through on this thread hoping more to come! Frustrating for me this month as I have a special trip to London with my mum for Xmas shopping and I will be due af the day we go (23rd)! Will prob test day before we go but planning on taking it easy on thr trip and no drinking just incase (unless af appears and ill have a tipple or two!)
