November 2025 — snuggly jumpers, sparkly skies, and fingers crossed for our BFPs 🎇💖

[Iris2024]

Moving on from TTC October 🎃

Here’s a place to share your journey for November. We are all on a journey, feel free to share your journey, your worries, your rants and thoughts on our TWW going into November 🤍

Im currently CD9 of a new cycle after my early chemical miscarriage and my hycosy procedure.

Hey everyone, I’ve been off these threads for a few months after having two consecutive miscarriages in April & July and both were from trying and getting pregnant the month I tried. Now since august it’s just not happening!

im 8dpo and last night I had a very sharp stabbing pain in my left side around where the uterus is. It only lasted a few seconds and took my breath away. Not had any cramping or symptoms since. Just increase in saliva but sure if I’m imagining it. Previous cycles I got pregnant I had more cramping.

good luck everyone

Ohh so hard not to symptom spot isn't it? Not too long hopefully til you can test 🙏

Saying that, I just did a really silly thing. I posted above that I was waiting to test until tomorrow, but I just ended up doing a test and I think I got a faint positive...!

BUT...the test I used is 1 year out of date ( I talked myself into using it just to see, as its not a "waste" of a test), and I do have 2 more new ones but obviously I just peed and I didn't keep any wee for another test. I think out of date tests are more likely to give a false negative than the other way round

I'll wait til tomorrow morning and try again but what an idiot I am, I don't know what I was expecting 🤣

I’m officially in the TWW, it’s my first cycle since my MC so not feeling too optimistic but trying to stay calm and positive 🙏

@roots6im officially in the tww now as well (finally 1 dpo). This cycle has felt so long for me already for some reason. Happy now to be at the tww side of it 😅

@roots6 & @underthethree good luck!
@Mickey1995 Really hope this is it for you, have you had any kind of implantation feeling before? Could that be what the sharp sensation was?
@Doodlestar that's so exciting! Have you tried again?

I'm 8dpo today too. Since I had the dlull cramping and tiny spot of blood at 6dpo I justified using my last easy at home strip by saying I'm most probably not pregnant so why not! Then I got what I think is an evap 🤦🏼‍♂️ how frustrating. Not testing until next Monday now, I have one early test left and I don't want to do it over the weekend with dh here (weird I know but thats me!). Let's see how that goes 😂

Negative this morning. Or, possibly the faintest faint line but so faint I couldn't see if there was colour. So lesson learned, don't bother with out of date tests!

We are going away on Sunday for a couple of child free nights so I'll test tomorrow in case anything shows up. If it's still stark negative I'll feel ok about having a wine or two while away, I guess.

@CoffeeIsMyLovei can definitely see something!!! 👀

Well.. I didn’t expect this. I was an active chatter on September and October Tww threads. I didn’t end up joining this November one as I was ill and we only Dtd once in the window. some sort of miracle - I’m pregnant!

due date 28th July.

anyone in similar situation to me. Baby number 2 and tried about 5 weeks for this one.

sending lots of luck to you all.

Very exciting, congratulations! How old is your first child?

Hope all goes well for your pregnancy! X

She’s 18 months.

thank you. What your story?

Hi everyone! CD1 for me today, month 1 TTC baby #2. DS is 2yo. Fingers crossed for us all and congrats to everyone who has had a BFP!

Hi all. Sorry been a bit quiet, have been coming on to read but not necessarily reply.

13dpo for me today. CD30. Very much feel like AF is minutes away. 😅 Knew our chances were ridiculously slim this month but was holding out for a miracle.

Great to see some positive news on here! Exciting times!

@SilverSprings510 good luck lovely!
@Taysonic have you tested yet? You never know, af might not turn up.

I haven't tested since 8dpo, keep looking at the photos and thinking surely it wasn't an evap?! I ordered some tests to get here today but typically they won't turn up til around 8:30 🤦🏼‍♂️ 11dpo today!

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm out unfortunately, af arrived this morning. I wasn't expecting much tbh as only managed to dtd once on ovulation day itself. DH is due to do a semen analysis early December which falls around my fertile window (of course it does 🙄), so possibly next chance will be late December. I could cry, feels like everything is conspiring against us at the moment 😭

10DPO for me today and despite telling myself (again) that I wouldn't get my hopes up, i am infact, getting my hopes up 😅
Really sore boobs, which is a symptom I never have, but my temp also dropped this morning so think af more than likely on the way, what a rollercoaster of emotions this journey is

It's so hard not to though, isn't it?! I'm 13dpo, had been telling myself I wouldn't test but caved earlier and stark whiter-than-white negative. But still, I'm STILL thinking 'oh, but you never know...'

The one positive I'm taking in that this is turning out to be a nice lengthed luteal phase for me - mine have previously been a bit shorter and feels reassuring that it does seem to be lengthening and I'm taking that as a good sign.

I'll cling on to any bit of good news!

Sorry you're out this month @ttcnumerodos - I think I'll be joining you shortly so we'll be in good company next month. The timing of the semen analysis is DEFINITELY frustrating, but you never know... keep doing some ovulation tests and maybe the timings might work out? Stranger things have happened.

And there she is. AF arrived this morning. Back to CD1. Thankfully not feeling too disappointed as knew we didn't time things well AT ALL this month. Full speed ahead for a little Christmas surprise. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Sorry it's not your month @Taysonic @ttcnumerodos hoping you'll both have lovely christmas baby news!

@ttcnumerodos It's only for 48 hours that you can't dtd before semen analysis, so hopefully you're still in with a chance before and after it? I know what you mean about everything conspiring against you though, sometimes it feels like nothing goes your way!

11DPO for me today, temp has risen again slightly but all symptoms have disappeared, its that part of the month where you wish if af was arriving it would just get on with it so you can start again

Hi ladies can I join please?

I have no idea what’s going on this month!
Usually I have a cycle of 31 days give or take a day or 2 and ovulate on cycle day 20 again give or take a day. However 2 months ago I had a 40 day cycle where I didn’t ovulate until cd28. I put this down to take pregnecare conception which, I’ll be honest, messed me up totally. I had horrendous acne, awful hair and was super emotional. Stopped taking them and back to normal, thank goodness!

So this month I’m on cd29. I’m not sure if I missed ovulation (I use the LH strips) or if it’s just not happened. I had a small rise on cd18 which would be my usual ovulation time but it didn’t reach high on the strips. It may have been a sharp surge and I missed it I guess. I’m just confused. If that was it I’d be 10dpo today and due my period in 2/3 days time. Testing negative so far.

My story. 1 child from previous marriage who is 6. Had a TFMR last year which devastated us and we stopped trying for 6 months. Then a missed miscarriage in June. I’m so desperate for our rainbow

12dpo and had a lovely evap this morning!
I'm calling myself out now. Good luck to everyone else 💛

Thank you @LuckyDuck93i thought it was longer. I'll keep a close eye on lh levels throughout the month. Added complication staying with my parents after a fire at ours, me and DH are sharing a room.with DS 🥴 so the logistics of actually dtd are...tricky 🤣

Evening all,
Feeling a bit alone ttc just wondering if anyone else has had similar troubles. I have one DD who is 2 and a half, c section as she was breach. Took us about 18m to conceive a second time and during that I was diagnosed with a uterine niche due to very heavy and prolonged periods, but my GP dismissed this as an issue and wouldn't refer me onwards. When we finally conceived back in May I miscarried at 7 weeks and this took a long time to fully resolve, with an outcome of ectopic or PUL, because I wasn't scanned when I should have been, no one was sure. My HCG took about 6 weeks to come down and now we are TTC but nothing happening. Seems there is very little out there about niches and age is not on my side (39)! Cd 22 and 6/7 dpo but not sure how hopeful I am now!

@ttcnumerodos wow that is tricky, I salute you for even making the effort to try in those circumstances!! Yeah for my DH it was to dtd within the last 7 days but not within the 48h before,

@JAM22 I dont have any experience with that but just wanted to send you a hug, it sounds very tricky & its always difficult when there isnt a lot of info around ❤

After my misadventure with an expired test last week I had another negative (or, faintest of faint lines/evap) on Saturday at 14dpo, then I tested positive (on a proper, in-date test) on Monday at 16dpo!

Found out while on a weekend away so that was nice to celebrate. Obviously early days but I'm delighted🤞🙏

Good luck to everyone for this month, and sending love to those who are out for the time being, hope time passes fast for you until the next shot...🙏✨️
