TTC November Baby

Day 5 of flashing smiley and the faintest line on opk so panicking that I won’t ovulate tomorrow and that the acupuncture has messed up my cycle 🙈.

My period is due on the 24th. I did a clear blue test today and it was negative and I've been having some light cramps as though my period is on it's way. I guess this isn't our month. Maybe next time.

Been having some cramps today at 8DPO really low down feels like it's in my uterus area more on the right side like a pulling sensation, AF due on weds, could this be implantation cramps? Has anyone ever had implantation cramps what were they like?

Hi can I join?

TTC #2
Cycle 10 actively trying but been TTC since Nov 17 😩(we had an ectopic last jul year)
Age: 34
CD: 6
DD is now 3

Really hoping for Nov baby, DD will be 4 in Nov and already keeps asking why she doesn’t have a brother 😩

Cycles still a bit all over the show and have only been allowed to try again since Jan - it’s already doing my head in!

Currently on pre-conception vitamins, concieve plus, aswahganda(?) fertility herbs (although I’m not good a taking it as it’s disgusting), carries on with my fertility acupuncture throughout ectopic pregnancy (mostly for mental health!) but after tying 6 months I fell in 2 cycles with acupuncture (could be coincidental?!), cheap OPKs and SMEP (roughly!)

Baby dust to all x

Hi ladies

Just jumping on board with your thread!
TTC #2
DD is 5
Cycle #3
CD 18

I had positive opk on CD 16 (Tues), ewcm on cd 17 (wed) do u think I'm 1 or 2 dpo? I have a clockwork 28 cycle.
This month we used conception plus for first time and I'm trying to be more relaxed this month.
We are off to Disneyland Paris next week so the dreaded waiting wont be as bad and I'm not taking any tests with me.
AF is due 4th March. Last month had very light spotting 3 days before af due and had convinced myself it was implantation but not to be.
Anyway ladies I hope you're tww goes in fast and with lots BFPs at the end of it!

Aims xx

@WildFlower2019 thanks, going to have closer look at that website.
I knew it was too early but just couldn't help myself, I don't have another test now so going to wait until af is due now.

@Zarara I’m 12 dpo, my last 3-4 cycles tell me I should be due on today but prior to that it was 2 days longer so I guess it could be Saturday! In November I had a chemical pregnancy and since then my cycles have been 2 days shorter for some reason!
I’m thinking I just need to be patient....I keep going to the toilet every 2 mins to check if AF has arrived!! My uterus feels heavy and I’ve been having some mild stretchy cramps for the last few days now - just want to know either way! If AF comes I can have a glass of wine and get back on it in March

@ale2992 Don't feel disheartened. Countdowntopregnancy.com say that 96% of women are pregnant get a negative result at 6dpo: www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=6

I would even argue that those 4% of women getting positives ovulated a day or two earlier than they realised, so they recorded inaccurate data. My apps are often a day or two out of sync with my OPKs!!!

All that to say don't feel down, you're still very much in the game. Just expect the BFNs at this stage!

Eggs can implant at 6dpo at the earliest really and they take days to produce enough hormones to show up on the most sensitive tests xx FX for you 🤞

@Zarara 6dpo

@LJ87 I’ve stocked up on the amazon strips but have also bought some first responses. Not that I’m obsessed or anything I think I’m going to start with the amazon ones to allow me to test multiple times then if I see a hint of anything move on to the other ones. What DPO are you? Fingers crossed it’s your month.

@ale2992 how many DPO are you?

So I caved and did a test this morning, bfn but I know it's really early I'm only 6dpo.
Just annoyed at myself now and feel shitty.
Still symptom spotting, feeling sick this morning and I'm exhausted, feeling like I have abit of a cold coming.

@Nfis sorry to hear about you mil. We are I. The same position. Mil hasn't bothered us about having another but I know she'd love a second grandchild to spoil. Fingers crossed it happens quickly xx

@LJ87 🤞 for a bfp in a couple of days xx

@Zarara hope the tww goes quickly for you!

Well AF has left the building....now the fun begins 😂 xx

AF due today - Saturday, I tested this morning but BNF. Ah so disheartening, I know I’m not ‘out’ until AF shows up but it’s frustrating! I’m using the cheap one step tests from amazon - wondering if it worth getting some first response tests? Or maybe I should just learn to be patient and wait a few more days and I’ll know if AF arrives....

I got my positive opk yesterday so just starting the tww. Dtd for the last 2 nights and going again tonight just in case (although I think it will
Probably be too late)

If we don't get a bfp this month we won't be stopping - with only one chance a month we don't want to waste any.

DH's mum has terminal cancer and id really like her to get to meet her grandchild so FX it happens soon! She's not pestered us at all (even though I know she really wants a grandchild) so trying to stay calm and relaxed in the hope that helps!

So much for not symptom spotting, I seem to have developed several in the last few hours 😩 dizziness, fatigue, cramps, sore boobs/nipples and they feel massive, also feeling bloated. All of those could be pms I suppose so trying to stay pessimistic.

I finally got a positive opk so I’m now 1dpo. Now it’s the long wait!

I’m going to keep going now because of my cycles I wouldn’t be due close to Xmas day so not as fussed although if it was closer to Xmas I Day I would probably take a break.

@Explorers10 yes I am. According to my charts, my peak most frequently arrives on cd18 and I ovulate that same day, going on some brief data analysis. Going to dtd tonight anyway though I can’t say I’m really in the mood yet 😂.

@WildFlower2019 fresh needles! They were very thin too, I didn’t feel anything.

@Explorers10 are you using ic’s too or just the clear blue? I’m on cd16 and should ovulate on Friday. I’ve had 5 days of flashing smileys so far!

Hi all and welcome new posters. Good to read everyone's updates. Thank god for these forums I find them so helpful to vent!

I'm also in the not stopping next month crew. I had the same worry about a poss late Aug due date but now I'm 13 months in I don't think it would matter.

I am unsure when to test this month. AF due 3rd March I think. I'd like to wait until late but have an internal ultrasound scan as part of fertility tests on 4th and think would need to know if I thought I was pregnant.

That's my logic too @MrsP4 x

Thank you @Peachyx2505 haha I've bought some so I will not waste so much money on FRER I feel like doing the internet cheapies help me to not be so devastated when AF turns up because I basically know that I'm not pregnant rather than spend two weeks getting my hopes up and then nothing! FX for us all! 🙏🏻

@WildFlower2019 eek for the static smiley!! 🤞

@Explorers10 hope you have a lovely weekend away. Hopefully you get your static in the next couple of days 😀

@MrsP4 I used the one step (well similar) back in the day when trying for DS1. I had a faint line at what I think was 12dpo.... not entirely sure it was nearly 7 years ago 😂 I then took a digi about 5 days later! Ooooh that restraint... most definitely don't have that this time around 🙈 🤞 for a birthday bfp x

@LJ87 welcome! 🤞that you will have your bfp in a couple of days x

@Leleophants DS1 was due 24th December by my calculations, then the 21st by the midwife. At my dating scan they put me as 17th.... he arrived on the 3rd! Long and short.... no way are we stopping.... babies will decide to come when they are ready. If we aren't lucky this month then I think it'll be another 24th/25th/26th dec due date 🙈

@ale2992 it definitely doesn't rule you out.... the only symptom I had with DS1 was bleeding gums. And that was probably nothing to do with being pregnant! Keeping everything crossed for you x

Very true @WildFlower2019 each month I tell myself I'm not going to SS and I'm going to be relaxed yet here I am! 😂🙈
