Nov 2024 TTC 💖 part 2 ✨

[CoolSummer89]

Hi all,
We have reached 500 posts in the part 1 thread already and we are only a third of the way through November!! Starting a new thread here.

It's so lovely to see so many positives this morning. Congratulations to those of you who've gotten nice news and wishing you all safe and happy pregnancies!

Feeling a pang of disappointment myself but I know my turn will come. Big hugs to anyone else who got a BFN or is otherwise out ❤

I only had faint lines on 2 expired tests when I conceived my son. It's my understanding that you're more likely to get a false negative on an expired test rather than a false positive 🙂You'll get a BFP tomorrow on a fresh test, I'd bet money on it.

How many dpo are you?
this is definitely a positive I think it can be lighter if you’ve had more water etc so don’t worry it’s still a line!

After the Bfp this morning, I’ve had 2 BFNs since (admittedly could be to do with diluted urine) but just had some peach coloured spotting too. Period would be due on Saturday.

@1woodpecker your test was faint and outside the time this morning, so it means you've likely caught it very early! Please don't torment yourself with more tests until your FMU tomorrow. Hopefully the spotting is just spotting, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thank you, that is very true!!

also, does anyone else find it really hard to not go to the loo so frequently to get a longer hold 😂🙈 I can barely manage 2 hours. I think that is part of the problem!

so sorry to those who are out this month :( hopefully you’re doing some things that comfort you xx

6dpo for me today. Is anyone else 6/7dpo? trying to remain so so relaxed this month & try not to think too much about it but I can’t help thinking each twingey feeling could be implantation. Feel like i’ve got forever to go until AF so trying to distract myself and not symptom spot/search threads. Xx

Has anybody else had a stuffy nose and cramping? I’m 13dpo today and not sure if it’s af, so hard when pregnancy symptons can be similar to pms! Going to test again tomorrow 🤞

Yeah I like to stay well hydrated so this is something I often struggle with too, especially with OPK testing because it's in the middle of the day!

Hopefully your spotting is just spotting and you get another BFP line tomorrow 🤞

And I have the same issue with holding! I can barely hold for an hour most of the time 😂

CD13 for me today and no sign of ovulation yet. I tried not to drink too much so I could get an accurate LH level today but it’s so hard 😅 x

I’m somewhere between 5-8 dpo and I’m exactly the same. I’m not due on for 8 more days and this wait is proving so difficult. I’ve had sore boobs and some low cramping the last 2 days but so unsure if it’s related or not!

Same!! Progesterone, Albeit helpful, is frustratingly causing confusion with symptoms 😂😂 i’ve had a weird heaviness low on tummy.. but nothing crazy different than usual progesterone rise after ovulation xx

I never have many symptoms of even ovulation apart from small cramping and of course CM. I occasionally get sore boobs a day or so before my period. So I’m hopeful as I’m still roughly 8 days away but really don’t want to be too hopeful... What month and baby is this for you? Xx

Exactly the same boat here. Woke up with dull cramps, backache and bloating last night. Absolutely exhausted today, my whole body just feels heavy. AF due 1st Dec. Gonna be a long wait!

OMG GIRL SAMEE! Although it could be 30th Nov or 1st Dec for me - seems to still be correcting itself ha.
My lower back is agony… but unsure if that’s just bad posture in office chair hahaha xx

Cycle 4, TTC #1 🥰🥰 4 is my lucky number so i’m hoping this is it 😅 🍀

As said previously…. In school they make it out like it takes one BD and bam, how frustrating it’s not that easy! I’m hopeful we’re not even half a year into properly trying so anything could happen.

how about you? Xx

Absolutely in school they make it seem like all you have to do is look at a man and it happens! Well technically cycle 1 TTC #1 however it could have happened last month but we weren’t TTC if that makes any sense 🙈

I’m fully expecting for it to not be this cycle as it’s only the first try but still makes me question everything!

keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Aww! Sending lots of baby dust right back. My only advice is DONT TEST before period is due if you can help it unless your 99.9% sure you’re having a BFP when you do. My first two months I tested even before timing of implantation and it made me so miserable and sad when AF arrived. I’m crossing fingers for you xxx

BPN but I thought I was due to test today.... I'm not 2 different apps give me another 2-4 days before AF. Would this brand be classes as early response. I just got them as this group seems to use them

Sorry BFN

Definite BFN last night and this morning. So strange. I’m not even sure it was an evap, because when I looked closely the one after had the faintest line. I think I’ve got low progesterone and a thin lining and perhaps it’s an implantation failure/very early chemical? I don’t know if that can happen, but if the egg starts to implant and then hcg is produced but it “fails” really quickly? Or maybe I’m just trying to create non existant hope 🙈

I’m so sorry it’s a BFN this morning 😕 I was thinking about you… I wonder what’s happened? Maybe you’re right and it was an early chemical. But you weren’t imagining the BFP before x

Well it's CD1 for me today 😩
Onto the December thread I go!
Congratulations to anyone who has a BFP! And wishing the rest of us luck for next cycle hopefully we get a Christmas BFP 🎄

Thank you, it’s so weird, I don’t know whether to feel better that it was a brief positive or worse that it didn’t stay positive x
