TTC November Baby

483 replies

Explorers10 · 10/02/2019 17:45

So my AF has arrived today but looking forward to having another go at TTC for a baby in November 2019.

Cycle: 4
Age: 34
CD: 1

Anyone else want to join in the same position as we try to get through this next cycle together?

Hi all. Good to see some familiar faces again, but hope this is our month! I'm just on the way back from birthday weekend away. Got positive opk Saturday so dtd then and yesterday. Going to try again this eve. Those from previous buses might remember we struggle to dtd but weekend away has helped! My last two luteal Windows have been 13 days so AF due 1st March.

@ale2992 if that means Friday you'll be 7dpo I think I've read you're unlikely to have implanted by then so won't share blood supply with baby so you might be okay to drink moderately.

ale2992 · 18/02/2019 11:19

How's everyone doing?
I'm 3dpo and cd20, 2nd cycle after MMC. AF due between 27th-2nd not really sure.
Having the most vivid dreams for the past week and have the worst back pain.

I have a night out planned for Friday and know it's probably still too soon to test then but really unsure what to do re drinking that night?

I’m going to do the SMEP. I’m on CD9, start the opks tomorrow. Started dtd on CD8 (yesterday)

Ovulation week here although I’m still waiting for a positive opk. Next month I’m going to invest in a proper opk test if necessary.

Jduh · 17/02/2019 10:44

It's ovulation week here too. Either tomorrow or Tuesday. Fingers crossed!

dottydally · 17/02/2019 09:46

@WildFlower2019 I think this week is my week. Not sure though! One app says the 24th and one says the 26th. I've not been tracking so I'm not sure whether that's right, I think they are just picking the middle week of my 33 day cycles. We won't get the chance to DTD now until Wednesday and I'm having a bit of a tantrum about it. Can someone either tell me I am overreacting or agree with me that I should move a few things around so we can tomorrow? I know my apps are saying it's the end of the week but I'm worried in case they are slightly out and it's actually early!

WildFlower2019 · 17/02/2019 09:31

I had my first flashing smiley face on the clear blue OPK today. OMG they're much easier to read than the cheapie strips, aren't they?

I knew I was entering the "fertile window" today as I was feeling a bit fruity (and me and DH say, haha) and starting to get some EWCM.

We DTD this morning (sure you all wanted to know that!) and I'm crossing my fingers this is our month!

Who else is ovulating this coming week?

I'll have to make my testing list soon!!! In our last thread, I made a bit list of everyone's (rough) testing days so it made it easier to follow how everyone was getting on!

PS hi @Chanel05, nice to see you again. And welcome all newcomers!!! Xx

@MrsP4 I think we were on a thread together a few months ago? Xx

Peachyx2505 · 17/02/2019 09:29

Hi @Explorers10 thanks for the welcome. Hopefully these number two babies will decide it's their month!

Hi to all the new ladies. Wishing you lots of luck this month xx

@Paddypaws91 cycle day 3 here so nothing much to report!

I've ordered some OPKs.... let's see how they pan out this month.

Nfis · 17/02/2019 08:28

@Paddypaws91 thanks for the tip - will give it a go... FX for you, let me know how it goes! I'm only on CD10 so still a few days to go before ov

Paddypaws91 · 17/02/2019 08:13

@Nfis yeah so it comes with a load of disposable applicators, it wasn't too difficult though. I read a little goes a long way, so only used 2mg (you can go up to 4mg) I've seen really good reviews, so FX to us!

Nfis · 17/02/2019 08:05

@Zarara good luck trying. I'm still a few says away from ovulation so starting opks tomorrow. Fingers crossed you get your positive soon.

@Paddypaws91 did you use an applicator for your preseed? I ordered some and have the same fears of a big lubey mess! Any advice would be really helpful!

Zarara · 17/02/2019 08:01

@Nfis I’m trying to follow SMEP as closely as possible, but with some modifications as my DP has been away for work for a few of the nights so working around it. it’s worth a go though.

I’m not getting a positive opk yet, I’m using the cheap opks from amazon and there doesn’t seek to be any hint of a second line although I feel like I’m close to ovulation. I hope I haven’t bought a faulty batch!

Paddypaws91 · 17/02/2019 07:28

The fertile window is officially open for business! Where is everybody else in their cycle?

@Nfis I was going to try the SMEP next month if unsuccessful this cycle. I've read good things about it. Good luck and keep us updated with how you get on Smile

I used Preseed last night for the first time, was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to use, was expecting it all to be a right lubey mess 😂

Nfis · 16/02/2019 23:27

Anyone else trying SMEP? I'm on CD8 now and was reading about it so giving it a go...

MrsP4 · 16/02/2019 22:21

Thank you @Explorers10 Coming on here really helps me because I know I'm not alone! Just can't believe how hard it is to actually get pregnant 🙈

@mrsp4

Of course you can join. Sorry to hear you not had any luck so far, it is soul destroying when you doing all you can and then your surrounded by friends getting pregnant. I got my fingers crossed for you it will happen. Really hope it's your month this month!

@stitchwitch84 really hope the tww goes quick. I know it's hard not to get anxious but I'm sure things will work for you and husband despite the age

Hi all please can I join,

Cycle 5
And I'm currently 3DPO really hoping for a NOV baby! Just feel like everyone around me is getting pregnant apart from me and it's so hard to try and show your happiness for people when you break inside every time you see another pregnancy announcement on FB and constantly thinking why not me, me and DH been together 6 years married since sept have a house and we're just so desperate to be parents. Hoping this is the month for all of us!

Good luck @ale2992 I hope the tww goes quick for you!

welcome @peachyx2505 & @pyjamasforever TTC number 2! I know now that we are trying for number 2 seems to be taking time, need to be patient but very hard. Start panicking that something is wrong that it hasn’t worked yet

OP posts:
PyjamasForever · 16/02/2019 08:48

I'm also hoping for a November baby.

Age 31
TTC #2
Cycle 3
CD 6

My first was a happy accident, so I'm finding myself getting really obsessed now that we're actually trying. Have resisted temping and ovulation sticks so far... but now considering it...

ale2992 · 16/02/2019 08:35

TWW starts tomorrow again for me, so so hoping this month is my month 🤞🏻
