TTC NOVEMBER 2021

I’m hoping I can wait until the day before AF is due! That will be 13DPO, what about you? @SantiagoSister

Absolutely @Curlywurly3, me and @Essexnewbie were saying the same, it’s almost a relief once the TWW hits as you’ve done all you can and it’s then out of your hands. I’m glad you’ll be having your TWW at the same time as us, the more the merrier! Are you planning on testing early or will you wait to see if AF arrives?

Thank you @SantiagoSister and @Essexnewbie, it looks like I’ll be 2 days behind you ladies. I’m hoping he can DTD tonight AND tomorrow but I might be pushing it there! I’m actually looking forward to starting the TTW as this DTD to order is a bit stressful!

@Essexnewbie it’s dragged so badly hasn’t it 😂 I’m so pleased we feel the same, it’s nice having someone in the same boat. I hope making the cake passed some time for you, plus there’s the added bonus of being able to eat it later 😍 I’ve had a housework day today, tried to keep busy to pass the time but it has still felt like a slow day. I even done a YouTube workout to pass another 30 mins and that didn’t really help lol! Hopefully we did ovulate yesterday and not today, I think the general concensus is that you ovulate 24-36 hours after your LH starts to rise (and the OPKs show positive), so for me I think that would’ve been yesterday. I had some aches over both ovaries late Tuesday night, so I’m wondering if it was around then. If my calculations are correct, 9DPO for us will be next Friday. Only one more week to get through as of tomorrow 😂

@Curlywurly3 good luck for tonight! Hope your DH is feeling better and can solider on for at least one final BD lol

@Curlywurly3 yay! Good luck to you and hopefully DH gets better soon!

@SantiagoSister today has gone so slowly! I started off so positive and happy this morning and now I’m counting the hours until the day is over 😂 I’ve even made a cake to kill time and I don’t generally like baking ha! Hope your day has been okay? Nearly one day down….what day will 9DPO be? I’m hoping I ovulated yesterday and not today otherwise that’ll be an extra day. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see x

I got my static smiley this morning! 👶🏼💃🕺time! Although DH still has a bug so I hope he’ll play ball again tonight! 🤞🏻

Sorry to hear that @Cmacq32 😔 hopefully you get your little Christmas miracle next month ✨

Ahh pretty sure AF has arrived, seam a bit more red than implantation bleed. Means the flo app was wrong and today was the usual 29 day cycle not 34. Was hopeful but oh well!

Sending you all the positive vibes @alexalexalex18, keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you!

Hey ladies,

Woke up with some mild cramps but no sign of period.
Today is the 28th day of my cycle and the app showed it as expected period day but it rarely comes before the 30th.
Maybe I still have a shot.
Do send positive thoughts, please!

@Cmacq32 check your average on cycle graph on the flo app, it might help explain it xxx

@Essexnewbie that’s a great idea about the journal, at least you can get all your thoughts out through writing. I imagine that’s really helpful. It’s a lot better than bottling them up for sure. I definitely agree, I feel so relieved now too. It’s like we’ve done all we can, and it’s out of our hands now. We just have to be patient (ha) and wait to see if we’ve been lucky! 🙏🏻🤞🏼 Today is already going so slowly.. this is going to be a long TWW 🙈

@Billymay haha I loved your comment too! We need some humour sometimes, it’s so easy to get bogged down with the anxiety and sad days. But agreed, there is still time for them to reach their destination!

@SantiagoSister yes type A sounds about right!! A blessing and a curse…yes I can talk to DH too but also I’m wary of going on too much so I try and be a bit choosy with the thoughts I share and have a journal for the rest which really helps. I don’t know about you but I feel really relieved today to be on the other side of ovulation?? Knowing there’s nothing else we can do at this point is quite a weight off, I found the last few days exhausting! X

I hadn't been logging them as I was TTC so the app is 29 days. Fair point though as I was keeping track.
I think when I entered my ovulation info the algorithm rebooted, I did have a layer ovulation so perhaps that's taken it into account? I've only had 1 period that was 34 days and that was the first one after I ahad baby. The rest have been 'normal'.

Who knows. I guess it AF arrives today or tomorrow I'll know 😬 this wait is always the worst!

@MummyBear405 I will keep everything crossed for you for tomorrow my lovely!
I'm sure there's a very faint line on mine but pictures aren't showing it so I've asked my sister to come around to check it too 😂🙈

I've had the same this month with my app! Says I'll have a 31 day cycle which I've never ever had! So just going on what I usually have and hoping for the best!

@Billymay you're comment 😂😂😂 did make me laugh! Still not out yet though! Maybe they did come back from the shops!

@Di98 I'd wait for your FRER to come and try to relax until then! I know it's hard. I'm in the same situation where I have so many symptoms and it's driving me mad!

🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant. Still plenty of time for them to find their way 😬

@Billymay I'm sorry about your BFN but your comment about his swimmers going to the shop & forgot what they were getting made me chuckle

@Cmacq32 my Flo app has done the same with mine this month, it's predicted a 32 day cycle when mine are usually 28 days.

Have your last few cycles been slightly longer or shorter? I noticed mine was normal last month but longer the month before so I wonder if that's put it out slightly?

I took my implant out in June , I missed my period in June and had none in July. Then had a period 12-16th of August then my next 2 cycles were both exactly 32 days long (period started on the 33rd day) so next period was September 13-17th then October one was 15-18th. The October one was only 4 days long and very minimal bleeding... Now I should have started my period on the 15/16th regarding to Flo app based on predictions from last 2 cycles so I'm 2 days late.

Last couple of days my boobs are extremely sore to touch and I had shooting pains in my lower belly on and off for the last week or two. I've been quite bloated lately and moody too.. But that can all be period related symptoms 😒
My sense of smell is very strong , things I usually didn't mind are so bad now and yesterday I walked in to the toilet after my partner been for 💩 and walked out so quickly as I felt sick... The hunger and the smell thing never happen before period.

This might sound weird but two other things are that one of my dogs behaves like she did when I was pregnant with my daughter, she layed by me and when one of our other 2 dogs came closer she started growling at them.. this didn't happen since my daughter was born...
Another thing yesterday my daughter was feeding her baby and said the milk finished and I told her to go get another bottle from her bag and she demanded I give milk from my boob 😳 I have no idea where she got it from because she can't remember being fed like this as it was only couple of days and she's my only child and never seen any other baby being breastfed.

I've done 2 tests this morning and clear blue had a second line clearly visible but faint. Red dye cheap ones from eBay I couldn't see second line at all. I've ordered first response tests and will be testing in couple of days again.
I've got photos of these tests but because I was doing them at 5am it's hard to see anything on the photos due to the light..

Just don't know what to do because someone told me that clear blue tests are common for evap line but this was a line that appeared within the time stated in the instructions ... It wasn't after I've left it for a period of time... I does my head in 😫

10dpo and bfn this morning. I think my husbands swimmers have been diverted or gone to the shops and forgot what they were getting 🙄

@Natalie2304 I caved yesterday and got a BFN as well so know how you feel but we're still in the game! I'm going to test tomorrow like I was planning to, will keep my fingers crossed for Saturday for you xx

Oh @Essexnewbie were so on the same page! Sounds like we’re both major Type A’s 🙈 I’m glad you have some plans to keep you busy at the weekend too, I agree it’s the weekdays that are going to pass so slowly. We are now officially 1 DPO 🎉 luckily I am able to speak to DH about it, but like you I am wary of going on too much, so try not to unleash my full crazy on to him lol how about you, are you able to talk to DH or have anyone else you’re close to?

@JessicaMayyy welcome! So sorry to hear about your angel. Well done for pulling yourself out of that dark place, it’s a horrible place to be. Sounds like you’ve had a bit of a wacky cycle this time, there is still time for a bfp to come along and you’re not out until AF arrives. It’s really difficult when you don’t know what’s going on with your body, especially when you’re trying your best to TTC 😔

@Cruzxo wow that certainly looks positive! Maybe try another tomorrow and see if it comes up in the time frame just to be sure?

Sorry for the bfn @Natalie2304 and @WorriedD93, I hope you both haven’t got too disheartened as there’s still time for your bfps to show up! 🤞🏼

Ah I wrote a post and it never came onto the thread.

Here we go again.

So my flo app is suggested a 34 day cycle this month which is super long for me it's usually 29 which would be today. I've had pink tinge after wiping and I've a sore head and cramping.

Positive ovulation on 7th November red circle in picture

Do we think the app is wrong with a 34 day clyce or is the feeling today AF?

I have no idea! Why would it generate such a long cycle this month?
