November Bus - testing first week of November 2019

Can I join too? More out of hope than expectation.
TTC #3
Cycle 1
AF due 6th November
Dtd yesterday. Pretty sure ovulation is in the next day or so as I have the usual mild cramping. Not sure though and I could be imagining it. Plus periods aren’t particularly regular due to breastfeeding. Unfortunately I’m away with dc for half term now so that was the one and only try this month. Hopefully the one time will be enough!

I can't keep up with all the messages on here now. Our bus is getting full.

It's seems most of us don't think we DTD enough this month. I've got my positive cap on today though and thinking it'll mean better sperm. Im sure I read somewhere if your OH has poor motility that less is better. Not that mine has any issue that I know of but just incase.

I'm going to try and enjoy the TWW this time as no point stressing over it and I definitely will not be obsessed with checking my cervix 🙈😂

I should just be happy that my cycles are back to normal and I've ovulated early again I was panicking a couple of months ago. I always said I wanted to be pregnant by Christmas after getting married in May but i've come to terms with the fact that if I'm not it doesn't matter its taken time for my body to get back to normal.

Anyone else got any positive thought's or things they're gonna do different this TWW

Xx

Not sure who asked about CB stick but I usually get my static on the 4th day of testing.

Cheers for the add @Peachyx2505 😊

@Tamalama I'm on this bus lovely xxx

Fingers crossed for you @SallyCinnamon3009 🤞🏻 are you going to test on a particular date?

@CooperLooper thank you xx

Yeah it was about three weeks but I did have them throughout having the implant in just not very regular. It's awful isn't it waiting for the first one as you feel like you can't start tracking etc properly. I'm sure she'll turn up soon xx

@ceebee21 sounds like a lot of fun 😊 love a good wedding

@SallyCinnamon3009 so around 3 weeks for you then, guess I need to be a bit more patient in waiting for AF then. I didn't have periods at all in the years I had mine in. Sorry to hear you got a chemical 😔

@CooperLooper I know - defo get them on Amazon, they are a lot cheaper then Boots and Sainsbury's etc. Also, best getting the 20 pack as much better value.

Yes, can't wait and pleased that this has happened beforehand!

We then have American family over visiting next week, so am off Thursday Friday next week - one day with them, and then the other my sisters wedding... so a lot going on x

@ceebee21 they're so expensive! Why a cheaper brand that does the same hasn't come out yet I just don't know 😔

Going away will be a great distraction from you, lucky you! I'm the 5th so just a day behind you x

@CooperLooper I had it out on 14th August and think AF showed up around the 9th or 10th. Was getting fair positives that got stronger a few days before which I'm guessing was a chemical.

Seem to have settled down to a regular cycle which was good as it was a bit all over the place on the implant as well

@CooperLooper I've spent a fortune on them... annoying, when I came off my implant I only used a few, but this time I have used so many!!

I agree with you not to do any more this month... especially as you have stopped doing them... fingers crossed AF/BFP isn't too far away for you though.

Well, i'm just going 2 weeks from today, so 4th November; pretty sure last time I tested 2 weeks after the static and had a BFP, so if I can hold off, I will try to!

@SallyCinnamon3009 hi Sally welcome!

I've had my implant out recently too, no sign of AF and literally zero symptoms of anything at all. How long did it take for AF to appear for you?

@ceebee21 yeah. Good on you for persevering though as it's paid off and you trusted your instinct 😊 you're right 3 weeks isn't so bad considering. What's your testing date again?

I've bought some cheapie OPKs off Amazon that got delivered today, I just can't bring myself to pay for CB digital again at this stage when I don't know whereabouts in my cycle I am so 🤞🏻

Can I join?

TTC #2
AF due 9th November
Cycle 2
Had the implant removed in august and had a chemical pretty much straight away so definitely not testing early again.

Been obsessed with apps, OPKs and mumsnet this month 🙊 (oh and DTD) hopefully this will pay off

Had a positive OPK yesterday so I'm guessing that would mean OV today?

Fingers crossed for everyone

@CooperLooper tbh, I was on the point of giving up... so frustrating.

I am happy, not just for ov, but also as it's happening after the MMC... it will be 3 weeks tomorrow since, so don't think that is too bad giving what has happened.

I guess either way I will be ok with BFP or AF, just so I know my body is sort of back to normal.

Longest TWW ever xx

@ceebee21 yay static!!! Chuffed for you. Makes me think I should've carried on with mine now 😂

@Skygirl1983 fingers crossed that one time was the magic time! At least now the pressure is off and you can just wait.

I was just getting changed after work and I swear my boobs look like they're popping out of my bra. Symptom spotting much?!

@CouscousEvaporator it only takes one time!!

This TWW is going to Draaaaaaggggg, luckily I am off to Venice this Thursday, then my Sister is getting married next Friday so am fairly busy in those two weeks!!!

I’ve had a massive temp drop this morning and an opk surge so it’s last chance this month for me. Haven’t dtd as much as everyone else’s here I think, but I’m happy whatever is going to happen. Let the waiting begin 😄

omg, finally after 10 days of flashing smileys I have my static.

I've never been so happy about a smiley face that isn't flashing lol.

Guess my TWW starts now.. fingers crossed for everyone xx

I use OvuSense so I’m pretty confident that it’s accurate. I’m hoping maybe the drop I’ve had today means I’ve just ovulated. I have attached my chart if anyone’s interested.
Tbh my OPKs have been verging positive most days for about a week so I just thought ovulation was imminent so DTD 3 times last week but I think that’s been for nothing and now I think poor DH has run out of steam.

Are your temps all reliable as having EWCM and going by your body symptoms sounds very reliable, do u use the LH surge predictors? Could temp drop be something else and your stil to ov?

Glad it’s not just me! Thought I ovulated over the Friday so tried to DTD last night to cover all bases and DH had nerves so couldn’t finish, then my temp dropped this morn so ovulation failed but lots of EWCM now, however don’t want to pressure DH tonight and he gets embarrassed so I’m prob out this month too 😢

Am in the same boat as you girls. We dtd at the weekend, and on the day of a +surge on the Tuesday and that was literally it. TBH that is probably all it will ever get to as OH stressed with work most of the time and doesn't like pressure of performing! Am about 5dpo today and anticipate AF due on 31 Oct.

In a weird way its nice not to obsess over it this month!
