TTC November Baby

@WildFlower2019 it wasn't a big clot, it looked like the sort of clot you would get on your period. I'm putting it down to ovulation due to the timing, not likely to be anything else.

Sorry you've had some unexplained bleeding, I have got some serious catching up to do on this thread! Will you get the results soon?

How big was the clot @Paddypaws91?

I had one this week after DTD which was very tiny and small. I put it down to too much sex!

As you might have read above I've had several tiny bits of unexplained bleeding this month so I've been swabbed for infections at the docs.

Hi ladies, hope you're all doing okay.

I have a question that comes with a TMI warning ⚠️

Yesterday (2dpo) there was a bit of blood when I went to the toilet. It wasn't like normal pink spotting, it was a bright red blood clot.

Has anyone ever experienced this at around 2dpo?

It's probably just ovulation bleeding, I may have ovulated later than expected, but my CM would suggest I ovulated when my app said I did. It's probably nothing but I've never experienced "spotting" like that before 🤔

@LJ87 really sorry about AF. Have a fab weekend away and drink to your hearts content 🍷

@LJ87 sorry to hear af arrived. But glad you had some wine. Be kind to yourself and try to enjoy your weekend lovely xx

I’m out for a Nov baby :(
AF came along just in the last few minutes....guess I’m back to a 28 day cycle! I’m away for the weekend and I’m glad I drank some wine cause it wouldn’t have made a difference! Away with one of my pregnant friends tho which isn’t so easy! Wishing everyone else better luck this month! Here’s to next month for me 😘 thanks all xxxx

Hi jumping over from February bus if that's ok. TTC since April 18 (I'm not counting cycles anymore!)
CD8 and second day of flashing smiley so it seems I will ovulate early this month... glad I'm testing otherwise I think we would have missed it!

Hi all just placemarking again as for some reason I can't see the thread on my app anymore! @ale2992 that does seem a bit insensitive. Maybe she wasn't thinking. I'd just not reply for a bit then change subject and let her get the hint. It's such a minefield, I've found I can't expect my friends to know how I'm feeling if I've not been honest so I'm starting to open up about it a bit more.

@LJ87 I’m on cycle 8 so not that long either. It’s a long hard road isn’t it? I bought a 90 day fertility friend subscription that just expired yesterday so I paid for a full year today. I secretly thought that surely I’d get pregnant within the 90 days but lo and behold I didn’t!

@wildflower it all so bloody confusing isn't it?
I did an opk yest afternoon CD 18 and got positive and got another positive opk today on CD 19!? So that will be 4 days of positive opk. My cycle is 28 so with this late of an ovulation I'm guessing I'll be out this month.

@ale I'm sorry that your friend is being insensitive. That's what we are here for so get it all off your shoulders :)
I completely understand how u all feel ladies. Its like everyone and their granny is pregnant at the minute! My 2 best friends are, my sister in law, next door neighbour and my cousin has just had a baby.

My acupuncturist says to keep hugging the pg ladies; something to do with hormones lol to be fair I'll give anything ago at this stage!

Aims xx

@Chanel05 only cycle 5 so I appreciate it’s still early days for me still. There have been at least 8 baby announcements amongst my friends in those 5 months. What cycle are you on?

@LJ87 the fertility expert Prof Robert Winston says you're fine to have the odd glass of wine, he even did an informal study once in his own clinic and found a very slightly higher success rate with IVF when women were given a glass during embryo transfer. I think it was 4%.

Awww @Chanel05 I felt really irrationally angry for a few minutes when I saw that news this morning. I knew she was pregnant, I watch loose women occasionally on my lunch break and I could just tell a few weeks ago. I sound insane now, but I think it was something she said! I thought watch this space for an announcement!

@ale2992 Rant away. My advice is not to reply. Just change the subject in a few hours time. Send her a link to something totally random! Pretend you've been busy if she asks where you were. If she's not daft she'll put 2 and 2 together and realise why you ignored the message.

Trying to work out if I'm 1dpo or 2dpo. First time using clearblue digital opk, temping and fertility friend app. Getting mixed messages!

CD10 - LOW, EWCM
CD11 - HIGH, EWCM
CD12 - HIGH, EWCM, spotting likely from BD.
CD13 - HIGH, watery CM

CD14 - PEAK. I had ovulation pain low down on the right hand side & a tiny bit of spotting consistent with the spotting I had on OV day last 3 months. Watery CM but volume seems to have decreased from here on out.

CD15 - default PEAK reading on Clearblue as it displays for 48 hours and you’re meant to stop testing after your peak reading. Did a cheapie OPK in the afternoon and it wasn’t positive.

CD16 - Cheapie OPK strong but not positive.

FF puts me as being fertile from days 11-16 with Ovulation likely yesterday (day 15) but it can’t be sure due to my temps being all over the place (first month temping and I keep waking up at all hours).

I personally think I ovulated on CD14.

=====

I should do my list again like last month! Tell me when you'll be testing and how many DPO you are and I'll keep a list going so we can see who is next.

I'll be pretend I'm waiting to test at 10dpo on 2nd March. But let's be honest, I'll have the cheapies out at 7dpo on the 27th. Waste of time and money, I know. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@ale2992 it’s a hard one because she may not react well if you say that it wasn’t sensitive to your feelings because then she may feel you’re not supportive of her pregnancy and will feel as though she must censor herself. Personally, I’d ignore the message and let this one go. However, if she does send you messages repeatedly about feeling rubbish then I think you’re more than entitled to say how it’s making you feel.

@LJ87 I’m definitely in the crux of madness at the minute 😂. What cycle are you on?

Thanks ladies! I’ll have a couple of glasses and see if AF turns up! Thanks for your replies - I love this group, so supportive

@Chanel05 I totally know what you mean I have lots of friends pregnant at the moment and every month for while we have been trying someone has announced they’re pregnant, it’s so hard but rant away on here to us and just think one day it will be our turn to do the big announcement

@Chanel05 no I haven't replied but she'll knew I have read the message as it's in WhatsApp but I just don't know what to say.

@LJ87 I'm similar to you although af isn't due until next weekend.
I'm out tonight and planning on taking it easy with the drinking but I have been told by several people you don't share a bloody supply straight away with baby so it should be fine?

Stacey Solomon has just posted on her instagram that she’s pregnant with a scan picture. Literally everywhere I look people are getting pregnant except me! Definitely being irrational again today because it’s ridiculous and I don’t know her but yet another baby bomb to remind me that I’m not pregnant.

@ale2992 that’s really rubbish, did you say anything back? Very insensitive of her.

@LJ87 I think a couple of glasses will be fine, enjoy yourself and fx af doesn’t arrive.

@LJ87 I would totally have the wine. It won't hurt xx

So AF hasn’t arrived (due yesterday, but could be today or tomorrow potentially!)...one step test was negative yesterday, first response test was negative today. I’m away this weekend and not sure whether I can enjoy a couple of glasses of wine or not?? Should I play it save and not? Surely if I was pregnant the tests would be showing a positive by now? I’m just waiting for AF to rear her ugly head!!

@ale2992 that isn’t very supportive rant away! I would too!!
Hope you are ok! Xx

Okay I need to rant;
My best friend is currently pregnant, she is four weeks ahead of what I would have been if I had not miscarried in Dec.
She messaged me today saying how bored and fed up of pregnancy she is.
REALLY?!

Any wise words...?

I emailed the acupuncturist who assured me that acupuncture doesn’t delay an ovulation but in fact I must have ovulated on cd13 she thinks (I attached my chart to send her). So the soy tablets brought forward my ovulation by a few days. However, I’ve been taking evening primrose oil tablets which shouldn’t be taken after ovulation yet now I know I have. Gahhh going mad here. I’m off for the week and this is what free time to sit and think does for you. Please freely tell me to calm the f down 😂. How is everyone doing? Please regale me with your cycle tales!!

Wrong chanel! @chanel05

@Chanel06 don't worry. Cycles do this and maybe its just preparing the juiciest egg!
