Thought I'd start a November thread for those of us left over from the October thread. (I hope this is ok and I'm not bypassing some sort of forum etiquette).

Here are my stats:
Loki
ttc #2
Cycle 2
CD 14
ETD 6th November

ttc#1
cycle 2
cd 1
etd No idea, I had really regular cycles up until now :( we began TTC at the end of August. I was having regular 32 day cycles and then we begin ttc and and it jumps from 32 - 53 - 66.

So i am just going to wait this cycle out :(

redstrawberries101 · 09/11/2015 06:35

Third thoughts thank you!!

OwlinaTree · 08/11/2015 23:27

Excitement!

ThirdThoughts · 08/11/2015 23:18

Yes Owlina ! Grin

ThirdThoughts · 08/11/2015 23:18

Oooh, I'm also testing on Friday if no AF.

My chances:

For:
Have had spotting instead of AF so far
Had some nausea and sensitivity to strong smells
Had strong metallic taste in my mouth one day
Been falling asleep loads (but not unusual for me to feel tired)

Against:
Would be very lucky to be on first cycle given past fertility (TTC for over 5 years for DC1, long irregular cycles) and present fertility issues (ED reducing opportunity for successful conception).
Still have irregular cycles - still breastfeeding
Nausea not as strong as when I first suspected it.

OwlinaTree · 08/11/2015 23:07

Are we treat day buddies third? Smile

Melvali

Here's the thread July 2016 Babies

Obviously I don't have that thread on my watchlist because I am not a crazy thread stalker person who thinks she's pregnant but is too frightened to find out for sure and won't test till Friday Wink

I was Due in July for my DC1. Fingers crossed for DC2 Grin

OwlinaTree · 08/11/2015 22:35

Congrats on all the bfp! This seems to be a lucky thread.

Wondering what the likelihood is that I'm pg.

For - having vivid dreams, booze not effecting me much, some palpitations. Have had some incidents of heightened awareness of smell. Couldn't face my lunch the other day. Feel hungrier. Slightly dodgy tummy. Tired (but I'm always that, I work full time and have a toddler!)

Against - boobs don't seem particularly active.

Af due this week, so having to wait and see. I kind of think I am, but I think that's just wishful thinking as much as anything else.

Roll on Friday, that's test day (if no af)

Congratulations melvali and lucia Thanksgosh, this is a strong start for the November bus! Let's hope the trend continues. Sorry to those for whom AF arrived Wine still with the sore boobs here and off on my holidays tomorrow. Stay away AF!

CD34...

ScottishLady7 · 08/11/2015 19:52

Congratulations all you ladies with BFPs!!
AF is due tomorrow and FRER is very definitely a BFN.
I'm definitely disappointed but not surprised as I haven't had AF since I came off the pill last month- patience is needed I think!!
Fx to all you still waiting- I'll most likely see you all on the next bus :)

pinkpumpkin99 · 08/11/2015 17:19

Congrats on all the BFPs Grin Flowers keep them coming ladies

Personally I am out AF is here Sad Wine

redstrawberries101 · 08/11/2015 16:52

It doesn't feel true at all!!

redstrawberries101 · 08/11/2015 16:51

No haven't told mum. Been really hard though! Now that it's happened I don't even know how tell hubby how silly does that sound!!! Just hope it goes well and we get past the 3 month stage ok.. Thanks everyone for your support and congratulations to everyone!! Sorry for being self absorbed today and not responding to individual messages.

I hope I can give some of you with bfns some hope and baby dust, I'm 26 and 4 years ago I had major surgery involving the removal of my spleen and most of my pancreas following the diagnosis of a pancreatic tumour. I've had such a tough few years with various health issues and although we have been married 5 years I felt scared to TTC as I thought it would take ages as my body doesn't feel 'balanced'. This was however our first month!!

Hahaha were all just crazy lol.

I can't stop testing. It's silly because I then obsess over how dark the line is. I need to stop!

Mimilicious013 · 08/11/2015 16:37

Wow Loki,nice way to share the good news.i can imagine if i were yu guys,i would keep testing over and over just to enjoy watching that second line show up!!Mel are u in one piece ?kkkk

wantingno2 · 08/11/2015 15:41

I've told my hubby and my mum but that's it he will probably tell his mum at some point it still feels like it's not true I don't no maybe I need to see it in writing haha x

Shemozzle · 08/11/2015 15:39

Congrats Melvali! Nothing like seeing that positive in digital! Did you tell your mum?

Aw, Loki, that's so sweet to be able to tell big sister on Christmas Eve. And I just teared up at the calendar idea Blush.

Loki17 · 08/11/2015 15:30

I've only told dh. I want to tell dd before everyone else but want to wait until I've had a scan to tell her. We are planning an early scan at 10+5 so that we can tell her on Christmas Eve and our parents on Christmas day. Every year we give mil and my mum photo calenders with pictures of dd in them. They love the calenders even though they are a bit cheesey and always ask for them. I'm hoping to be able to put a miniature copy of the scan photo on the 15th of July box with the caption 'Due today!'
