If anyone is ttc2 and expecting their AF/ BFP in November then this thread is for you.

Let’s all give ourselves a fabulous excuse not to drink at Christmas!

My stats are as follows:

Age: 35
DS: 2 (in late November)
Cycle: 13 (lucky for some?!?!) I have short cycles so this is month 11 (yawn!)
AF/ BFP due: 2 November

Sorry you’re also having a tough time of it Cupcakes. If you’re worried about not ovulating, I would definitely advise a trip to the GP for a day 3 and 21 blood test. As I understand it, they should agree to tests after a year of failing to conceive if you’re under 35, and you’re very close to that now.

The good news is that if you’re not ovulating, there are drugs like Clomid that they can give you in an attempt to kick start ovulation (all four of SILs children are Clomid babies and she conceived pretty quickly each time after starting treatment).

Here to hand hold in the meantime. Xxxx

HI,

I was on here a few busses back maybe August... anyway I’m still not pregnant.
26
Ttc #2
Dd will be 2 in November.
I’ve given up all hope actually I don’t really know why I’m joining, maybe as a last ditch attempt.
I basically am 99.9% sure I’m not ovulating.
I was using fertility friend to do my cycles the same as I did with my daughter, fell pregnant with her three months after coming off the pill.
This time I’ve been off the pill since January. Nothing so far I have been using OPKs for a week as I only have a 25 day cycle so was advised to start testing on day 8... all have been negative I test about 1pm. So even I do ovulate it’s going to now be too late to be viable. I don’t ever get a lot of cm so I don’t go by that.

Oh and I forgot to add that AF is due on 1/2 November but I will probably test on Halloween.

How is everyone doing? Apologies for not being more present this month. I needed to get away from it all for a bit.

I’m not going to lie. Cycle 13 has been the toughest one yet. The final member of my NCT group of 6 couples announced her pregnancy; 3 friends (all of whom started ttc a little after us!) have had babies and we got really rubbish fertility results pointing towards male factor infertility (2% morphology). DH is currently taking a cocktail of vitamins and trying to keep caffeine and alcohol to a minimum but if that doesn't work, it looks like IVF with ICSI will be our only option.

It’s funny to think that having started 2017 with high hopes of a pregnancy this year (having started ttc in December 2016), my optimism on the likelihood of a pregnancy in 2018 will be much lower.

Currently 10/11dpo but I have no symptoms (needing to wake up to pee at night has been a giveaway at this stage in all my other pregnancies), so I’m fairly sure I’m out this cycle. The good news is that I do have two shots at a November BFP.

Stats are as follows:
DS (2 in November)
Age: 35
TTC since December 2016 (Cycle 13)

We tried for 11 months to get DS (with a cp and a ruptured ectopic along the way), I honestly thought we were unlucky last time, but in hindsight, I think we were incredibly lucky to get to DS naturally and as quickly as we did.

Hi all

So we've had the chat and decided that now feels like the right time to start TTC again. Both always wanted another child but been enjoying our little guy so much and time has flown so much already!
Age: 34
Children: DS 2.5yrs
Cycle/AF: nearly finished this pack of pill so "AF" due end of next week-ish but been so sporadic even whilst on pill unlike before first pregnancy which was clockwork!! So awaiting withdrawal I guess.

Loved my MN bus and group first time round so had to come back!!

DT2016 · 26/10/2017 22:49

Thanks @pennyw85 Smile

@MynameisJune I remember you from the June 2018 due date thread. So sorry to see you here Flowers

Here’s hoping for a lucky thread and lots of BFPs for us all xx

MynameisJune · 26/10/2017 20:41

@DT2016 so sorry for the MC, I had a loss at 5 weeks on 10th October. So thoroughly shit for all concerned.

I’m 3dpo so really still early days yet.

RhiBee29 · 26/10/2017 18:21

Thanks @pennyw85, slight nipple soreness and a few twinges in the uterus area today. With my other two pg my boobs were very sore so trying not to read too much into it!

pennyw85 · 26/10/2017 07:35

Hi DT, so sorry for last month Sad really hope you get your BFP soon x

pennyw85 · 26/10/2017 07:33

I didn’t have any symptoms at all with my first so that doesn’t necessarily mean anything. So exciting though - fingers crossed for you Smile

DT2016 · 26/10/2017 07:33

Hi everyone

Here’s my stats:

CD18
DS age 5
1dpo
MC @ 5 weeks on 9 Oct Sad
BFP due 6 Nov

Really hoping for a miracle BFP after early mc this month🤞

Good luck ladies xx

RhiBee29 · 26/10/2017 07:13

Sooo tempted to test tomorrow, cd29. Last month I had a 29 day cycle, 30 the month before but it makes the luteal phase 9/10 days so quite short. Absolutely no symptoms at all Hmm

pennyw85 · 25/10/2017 21:39

You’re both so strong - will try and follow suit Smile

My DD is 4, we sneakily asked her theoretically if she’d like a baby brother or sister and she said yes (phew!). We haven’t mentioned it since so she’s forgotten about it now. Can’t wait until there’s good news to share with her

MynameisJune · 25/10/2017 21:19

After last month I tested at a day late and then again at nearly a week late. MC started the day after that second test. So if we get to that point again I’m not testing until I’m over a week late. I’d rather just not know I think.

MamOfFrankie · 25/10/2017 21:16

I am trying to hold off if when AF is late. Tested early in the previous two cycles and it has only led to me a) not believing it at first and b) disappointment. Made a pact with myself not to symptom spot and go easier on myself this month.

DD (6) has started to ask about getting a brother or sister today - so no pressure there!

pennyw85 · 25/10/2017 20:54

Has everyone decided when they are going to test? Or is everyone not as crazy as me Hmm last month I went for 2 days before due....

MamOfFrankie · 25/10/2017 20:44

Evening penny! I am one cycle behind you and AF is due 05.11, so just before you! Baby dust to you too :)

pennyw85 · 24/10/2017 16:30

Hi Everyone!

Here are my stats:
Age: 31
DD: 4 (late August)
Cycle: 4 (really want a summer baby so fingers are massively crossed this is the lucky month)
AF/ BFP due: 7th November

Baby dust to all!!

MynameisJune · 24/10/2017 13:51

I’m not sure Stee I can just see something but I think I’ve read that FR have an indentation where the second line will be. Which might be what you’re seeing there. How many DPO are you.

Stee1 · 24/10/2017 12:26

I didn't lose my tube I caught it early and treated with methotrexate did a test yesterday about 3 pm and left it went back 2 hours later and there's a line thinking it may be Evap

TTC #2 (November BFPs)
MamOfFrankie · 24/10/2017 08:51

Hi laura. Sorry to hear about your ectopic :(. My mum's friend lost a tube and still went on to have two more children, so it can be done. Not sure on statistics about how it might effect TTC.

I am looking forward to the start of November now though so we can start to see everyone's BFPs rolling in:)

Lauratwelve · 23/10/2017 10:52

Forgot to add AF/BFP is due 7th november!

Lauratwelve · 23/10/2017 10:50

Hi all

Age 32

TTC 1st and on cycle 2 after an ectopic a year ago, only just got my head back around to the idea of getting pregnant again after a scary time!

Stee1 so sorry to hear about your ectopic, I lost a tube so i'm worrying it's going to be a little more tricky to fall pregnant xxx

ElBronx · 23/10/2017 09:56

Hi how is everyone?

I'm all of 2DPO and driving myself mad already. Anyone else in their 2 week wait and have any advice for taking my mind off things?

I wish I could just think, well I've done all I can now so no point stressing. But I seem to get really anxious at this time.
