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.

Thank you @LuckyDuck93 appreciate it! Hard not to be so aware of where you are in a cycle when you've been trying for so long!
How are you getting on this month?

Congrats @Doodlestar ! Lovely to see some positive news!

Congratulations @Doodlestar what a brilliant story! And @ttcnumerodosI can’t believe all that you are going through! We put off TTC because we were living in a one-bed flat with our little one, seems a bit daft compared to everything you’re dealing with.
I started taking pre-natal vitamins this month and it seems to have delayed ovulation for me - anyone have any experience of this?

Can I join please? Currently around 4DPO - did ovulation induction this month and took the trigger shot on Friday. Taking estrogen and progesterone so I expect it's going to be hard to symptom spot, but will be testing late next week! x

Back again - CD10 here of Cycle #6 of trying for baby 2. Ovulation was early last month on CD12 (usually I ovulate CD14), so keeping a close eye on the LH tests in case I peak early again this month... still negative/low so far.

Really really hoping/wishing/praying I get a BFP before Xmas!

AF arrived this morning for me. Still not sure if I ovulated or not this month as didn’t seem to catch a peak. It’s a proper nasty one too, I’ve felt dreadful all day. Hope it passes soon and then onto the next cycle

Yes @overwork I am convinced procieve and coq10 delayed my ovulation last month. I’m going to stop taking them if it messes me up again as I really don’t want this to drag on, my eldest will be 9 next year and it’s much more of a gap than I wanted
congratulations @Doodlestarhope you have a very happy healthy pregnancy ❤️

Ladies, help a crazy gal out 😆
This is my bbt chart, I’m currently CD27, so 13DPO, thought af had arrived this morning as was bright red when I wiped, popped a tampon in and now nothing…
I’m just a bit confused by my bbt to be honest, seems weird to drop but then hover around 36.4 for a few days, if af was coming i'd expect a drop every day.

Of course I know this could be solved by taking a pregnancy test, but I just don’t think I can hack looking at another negative this month.

Not even sure what I’m looking for tbh…gosh I forget how mad the end of my cycle makes me 😅

@LuckyDuck93hmm that is quite confusing as it’s neither a rise or a dip - what happened the rest of the day/this morning?

My pregnancy charts were both similarly unclear - the non-pregnant charts were always textbook! I know that doesn’t really help, but I guess you only have two options: wait or test

@7nationbaby dropped right down this morning, can definitely feel AF beginning, so at least I know where I am now!

Thanks @7nationbabyI stopped taking them for a few days and according to Natural Cycles I have now ovulated. I think I’ll go back on them until my period comes. Very confusing that the thing that’s meant to help improve egg quality can stop them from popping out!

This is definitely a thing. Some of them even mention it on the box if you read the small print. I was taking folic acid in.preparation and it caused my cycles to go from 28 days up to 34 and it's settling back down now I've stopped that. Honwstly there's so much about women's health that is vague or unknown, lafgely because no one cares about researching it.

anyone else around 9dpo? I don’t think I have any symptoms at the moment. Not testing until 11dpo. Just not feeling very optimistic this cycle now 😩

Turn of events, I’m 10dpo now and I’ve caved and taken a test with second morning urine. Took an easy at home and there’s a faint line. So of course I took a FRER and there’s also a faint line. So then I took a clear blue and there’s a clear line, very blue in person. I’m shocked. I was just thinking last night how I don’t feel pregnant at all, was really thinking this wasn’t going to be the month.

Amazing, congratulations!

Even though some women report symptoms, plenty also say thay they have none at all even when they'repregnant. I think medically, it's not common to experience symptoms until you're well over a month pregnant, so.you are still very much in for a chance!

I’m 10dpo and caved and tested this morning- BFN. I’ve had symptoms the last few days like I’m really really tired, back ache, nausea, sensitive boobs, and a few cramps. I’ll give it a few days and test again 🙏🙏🙏

Currently 8DPO and feeling low, like I just know it hasn’t worked this month. We’ve only paid for one more round of ovulation induction after this, so feels like we’re nearly out of chances 😔

11 dpo today and tested with first morning urine. Great progression from yesterday’s tests. Took a digital as well ☺️ my easy at home still had a faint line. But I prefer FRER anyways for me 😅 so delighted and grateful 🥹

@Janey3090thats so tough, I’m sorry you’re going through this 😔 but you’re not out until AF arrived ❤️ when I was 9DPO, I had a very low day, like all my hope disappeared. I was symptom tracking with chat gpt 😅 and it said that it is actually quite common, and a symptom itself, to have a low mood day right before getting a bfp. And that lended up happening for me. I actually got a positive on 10dpo. I wasn’t even going to test because I felt so low about my chances. So crazy how it played out like that. Maybe it was just luck, or maybe chat GPT was right about that symptom, who knows 😅 but just thought I’d share my experience. Best of luck ❤️

I have had a positive on a clearblue ultra early today and feint line on a strip test at 11dpo ✨ Let’s see what the next few days look like 🙏

hope everyone else is doing ok 🥰

Congrats to everybody who have had their BFP this month.

I finally had peak this week 🥳🥳🥳 after three months of not getting a decent cycle since the early miscarriage. I’ll be testing in December now so I may set up a group if there isn’t already.

10DPO, no symptoms and I have this super squinter.. can anyone else see it?

Ladies who have used these easy@home tests, is it most likely an evap or is there hope for me?! (This is the second test that looks like this) x

I can see it, it may be worth getting a clue blue ultra early, same happened to me yesterday and that was positive. Strip test again this morning and it’s darker. Good luck ✨

Thank you! 💜 I’ll go out to Boots on my lunch break. Did you always use FMU? (My test wasn’t with that, more like 3rd wee as I wasn’t planning on testing today but then had no willpower)

Congrats on your BFP! xx
