TTC #2 (November BFPs)

Good to see some of you on there already: solidarity! ✊

Link to the next (December) thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/3101465-ttc-2-december-bfps

Sorry to hear about all the BFNs/periods starting here. My period has just finished but feel I’m gearing up to ovulate a little earlier than usual (hopefully I’m wrong as I’m coughing non-stop which will certainly not be enticing to DH!).

AF has arrived 3 days early, so my predicted ovulation on my Flo app was obviously wrong.

Sorry for af rhee.

I just started the December thread; hop on board! I will try to link it here but I am just on my phone atm (commuting) and haven't had much success previously with linking on the app....

Think I got my cycle number wrong on here before; think it's 10 next not 11!! God, it's been so long I don't even know anymore....!!! X

@rhibee sorry for af arriving. Take care of yourself and have all the wine.

Argh still no af but bfn this morning. I hate random cycles like this where everything goes crazy for no reason.

So think the spotting has now become AF but is (sorry if tmi!) is quite ewcm like and stringy (using mooncup for first time so might just be more aware than normal haha!)
Is there a TTC#2 Dec thread yet? I'm on the Dec bus already.

I’m out, AF just appeared , I’ve got one more shot at a bfp in 2017 then I’m off to the gp.

Thanks ladies. @Mynameis sperm live for up to 5 days so even if you didn’t dtd on CD14 it might have happened for you when you dtd before then 🤞🏼

@kit so sorry for the bfn, completely understand how you’re feeling. There have been so many pregnancy announcements and new babies around me recently. I struggle to think that by the time we get pregnant and have another baby these newborns will be a year or more old.

Af hasn’t arrived yet but I’m sure it will turn up tomorrow meaning that I didn’t ovulate on CD12 as I thought but on CD14. Which we would have totally missed. I also broke down to DH last night about it all.

I can’t wait to see the back of 2017 and hopefully have a much better 2018.

Kit, commiserations, it is happening all around me too. In every baby group I was in with DS, now 2, many of the other mums are either onto their second baby already or pregnant. We have to just feel solidarity for the ones that are not: chances are they are trying hard with no success yet like us. We are not alone.

Get this, as well as all the confusion over o due to temperature and opk not agreeing, I also still have ewcm. Maybe I haven't even ovulated yet???!! It would be a bit late for me but I guess illness can delay o just like stress can???

Roll on a straight forward cycle 11! 😦😶

Thanks ladies. I’ve literally just had a friend on group chat announce she’s pregnant. So if I wasn’t already down, I certainly am now. That’s 4 pregnant friends now all 3-5 months gone. And me....just a food baby! 😩

Congrats Bandha!

Talking of colds and flu messing up bbt at this time of year: my chart is totally messed up due to a flu type virus illness which gave me a temperature. It was the worst time for it to happen as it was right around when ovulation should have been!! So my temp shot up to 38.5 - by around 2 degrees! - but this was before I got a pos opk. Now ff is saying I oved based on this crazy rise, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't that day due to it being before the opks. Also I didn't get the usual bad ov pain to give me a clue as usual, probably due to all the painkillers I am on. Did get some twinges but I don't know what they mean - before or after ov? Could be anything....

So I am at a loss this month as to what happened and when....we also only managed to dtd once, too early (cd12), as predicted, as we were both too ill to do anymore.

This is from a comment ages ago, but it made me lol when you mentioned the Guaifenesin, cariad!! I did use to use that the first time round, to thin the mucus, supposedly....anyway I bought some more this time based on you reminding me! I'd totally forgotten about it!

Not much hope for me this time round but good luck to everyone else.

Is there a December thread yet (remember people enquiring but can't remember the answers....). If so could someone post a link? Thanks!

Fly BBT might be a bit less accurate this time of year with colds and flus abounding. For a science bit- breastfeeding stops ovulation as prolactin suppresses LH/FSH production. So if your OPKs are picking up an LH surge that means the breastfeeding wasn’t the issue most likely.

Kit sorry you are feeling down. I am on cd7 now so need to get trying again but have an awful cough/fever over past few days and DH looks peaky this morning so suspect will be difficult this month. Think I’m going to follow in Cariad’s example and have some nice warm mulled wine tonight. Or a hot port.

kit sorry your feeling sad, hormones are a bitch! Not to mention this ttc malarkey... silver lining is certainly those extra Christmas drinkies!!

I'm at a loss. Pos OPKs, EWCM, thought our timing was spot on but then... my temp hasn't risen should be 2dpo now but not a sniff of my bbt heading up (I have a slow rise but it's actually gone down). I guess my body tried to ovulate but just didn't get around to it? I suppose the extra bfing my DS did over the weekend screwed it up. Urgh I guess now I just wait for AF? Will keep OPKing incase there's a second attempt but I'm gutted

Thank you x

Hugs, @Kit1411

Sorry about the BFN’s, congratulations @Bandha for your BFP. Well I broke down in tears this evening over dinner, good job my DF is a good one, he could tell this morning I wasn’t myself and came home with hugs and chocolate. I know it’s pms as af is due Monday, I tested today BFN (I know it’s early and you’ll probably saw I’m not out til af arrives) but I know in my heart I’m not going to get a BFP this month despite dtd every other day for two weeks over the fertile period. I just don’t think I had enough CM. So I’ve got the primrose oil tablets and fertility lube so I’m prepared for next month. Least I can enjoy the Xmas market I’m going to and the 3 Xmas do’s I have and Xmas day of course with some wine. 😔 deep down I’m really disheartened though.

Sorry you got a BFN as well RhiBee.

Sorry for the BFN this morning Mynameis. Such rubbish news, but I am a fan of any silver lining which involves .

In fact, I had my first mulled wine of the “Season” last night which reminded me how much I like it, so if my next AF rocks up around 22 December as predicted, I can at least console myself with lots of mulled wine over Christmas!

Congratulations Bandha.

Congrats bandha!!

Sorry for the bfns june & Rhibee

@rhibee sorry for your bfn too 😞

Sorry @MynameisJune

I got a bfn yesterday, still waiting for af here, didn’t even bother to POAS today.
