TTC November Baby

I've had symptoms the last three months from 6dpo and it's turned into three BFNs. Some were really strong too.

If you look at the science, after fertilisation, something microscopic moves from your tubes to your uterus and implant at (on average) 9dpo.

Then it takes several days to even build up hormones to a detectable level! It's the hormones that can make you have symptoms. That and changes in progesterone/Oestrogen which you get anyway before AF! PLUSSS you can get the symptoms if the egg implants and then it detaches if the pregnancy isn't viable (chemical pregnancy). So it really isn't worth Symptom spotting! They can mean everything and nothing!

Don't feel disheartened!

Saying that you know I'll be SS at the end of the week once I've ovulated hahahahaha

@MrsP4 FX for a birthday BFP for you! The one step tests are ok but sometimes they give some funky evap lines in my experience. Though, the evaps usually show up after several minutes ime. They're good for a POAS habit though! Cheaper than FRERs. But from now on I'm disregarding any line that isn't obvious and doesn't come up right away!

@Leleophants no I won't stop trying. I don't want to wait until 2020 for a baby, so it'd be one more shot for it to be born in this year! I asked DH if he wanted to stop trying due to Xmas clash and he looked at me like I had two heads!!!! I said I'll take that as a no then! Haha.

@ale2992 I'm the same as you yesterday and today have been my low days like you said getting dragged down by the waiting, I'm 7DPO no CM no spotting, few odd niggle like cramp but nothing worth mentioning, I was talking to DH about it he's a lot more positive than me but then I think men generally are as I always say it's not them going through it all, it's not their bodies etc and they don't put as much pressure on themselves each month like us

Same!

Tell me about it! Feels like this started forever ago (only been 1 1/2 weeks since I started trying). Hopefully we'll all look back on this and think we shouldn't have worried so much! My af isn't due until 1st.

@Leleophants I know it's just hard not to get dragged down by the waiting

Thanks @Explorers10

@ale2992 still very early days!

I'm 5dpo but not having any symptoms at all, hoping that doesn't rule me out this month but feeling really low today 👎🏻

I'm 6 days po according to my apps. I'm not sure how accurate they are as haven't had many post pill periods.

Anyone have any symptoms at this point? Or a feeling of 'knowing'? My distinct feeling is that there is probably no November baby :(

Is anyone going to stop trying next month? If my apps are correct, next month would mean a baby born on Christmas day!

Hi everyone!

I’m a first time poster on here
Age 32
TTC#1
Cycle 5
CD 26
11 dpo
This 2ww has seemed the longest, I think it’s because I started monitoring my temp and did OPK’s for the first time. We DTD regularly and focused efforts around ovulation. Keeping everything crossed - AF is due any time from tomorrow to Saturday. It’s so hard not to over analyse every little twinge / sore boobs / headache / emotional outburst
Sending baby dust to you all, hoping for some good results this month xx

@Explorers10 it's my birthday on the 1st so I'm really hoping for a nice birthday surprise! What does everyone think of the one step pregnancy tests? Are they any good/reliable? How sensitive are they?

@Explorers10 According to FF AF is due 27th a week today, but I'm a bit lost because when I came off the pill end of sept
my first cycle was 31 days
Cycle 2 27 days
Cycle 3 27 days
Cycle 4 31 days
And then currently on cycle 5 so I don't
Really know when I'm due AF my luteal phase is 13-14 days so going by that and ovulation technically should get AF on tues or weds, 27th or 28th 🙈 which would make this cycle 30-31 days god all these dates and numbers 😂

Hi

I am CD 16 but looking my BBT graph I dont think I have ovulated yet. Using two apps. Glow said yesterday but my temp went down today but Natural Cycles says Friday. Cycles have been 28 to 29 days since coming off pill in November 18. Waiting to see what my temp does tomorrow morning.

@WildFlower2019 thinking about it I don't think I had barely any EWCM this cycle! It all becomes a blur 🙈🤔

I’m on CD14 today & got the static face.

I had flashy faces on CD11, CD12 and CD13.

We DTD on CD10, CD11 and CD13. Will, of course, DTD over the next few days too.

I had EWCM on CDs 11 & 12. Don't remember getting any over the last few months at all. Hoping that's a positive sign.

Fingers crossed!

Oooh @PeachyX2505 No exciting plans here but I do hope your weekend break will help. Last time I got pregnant it was on honeymoon, I honestly think it was the relaxation that helped!

Cycle day 6 here..... long wait for me yet!

Hoping my opk turns up today so I can get testing in the next week!

Booked a weekend away with hubs over our possible fertile period... it'll be nice just to have a day or so to ourselves.... we've not been away just us for a good few years.
Does anyone else have any exciting plans this month?

@Explorers10 I'm on CD23 I didn't get a positive OPK until CD 15 and 16 this cycle

Yeah that's a good idea thanks @WildFlower2019 I might say that soon if I can find a way of slipping it in to the convo, Haha yeah their face was a picture they didn't really know where to look tbh 😂

Oh yeah, apparently they're pre-sterilised, single-use, disposable needles. I worry about the strangest things haha.

@MrsP4 Thank you. I’ve now had the swab and it really wasn’t that bad. Fx for you and your husband with your tests. Ohh that’s quite a dilemma with the wedding! Re: asking your mum about time TTC. What about saying you’re thinking of trying soon, maybe later in the year, and ask her if she caught straight away. Then you can be non committal about it and if she brings it up again, just say “oh, we’re putting it off a few more months due to work/weddings etc” ?

I also love your response to the cheeky person “so did I” … hahahah would loved to have seen their face!

@chanel05 all booked! I’ve been for some swabs today to (hopefully) rule out infection and I’m seeing the GP in two weeks.

The acupuncture discussion sounds brilliant. Almost like a counselling session! If you get pregnant this month and I don’t, you can guarantee I’m booking in for some next month, haha. Except… I am not that keen on needles. Is it uncomfortable? Do they throw all the needles away after?

@veeboo that’s not too long at all to wait. Glad your dp had positive results that’s one relief I’m sure.

From my chat with the acupuncturist I gather you can have it at any point in your cycle but as I’m due to ovulate this week she put needles around my ovaries. I don’t know if it will work, it may just be a placebo but I’m willing to try anything at this point.

@Chanel05 about 4 weeks. The GP referred and he had to call the hospital for a slot.

Glad acupuncture went well. Are you supposed to have it at a certain point in your cycle?
