Hi all, just thought Iā€™d make a lead on thread from the TTC NOVEMBER 2021 group for us all to continue on. Wishing you the best of luck for a lovely little Christmas miracle āœØšŸŽ…šŸ¼

@Sunrise321 not long to go then!

@Justkeepswimming20 I havenā€™t used them but would be interested to know if they helped! Iā€™m all over the place in terms of cycle from a miscarriage but if I havenā€™t fallen pregnant again by Jan/Feb then I will try them out I think.

Is it ok to join? Ttc #2 on the 4 cycle and just started using the ovulation sticks..are you ladies finding it useful? It was showing ovulation 2days earlier than i thought!

@Sunrise321 thank you for your reply, fingers crossed for you! When will you be testing this month?

Hi @Everythingcrossed2021 and @newjourney21 both positive sounding this month so hopefully December is your time! X

Everythingcrossed2021 · 01/12/2021 07:22

Hey everyone. Havenā€™t joined one of these threads before so thought Iā€™d give it a whirl. On cycle 14 here, feeling less hopeful each month. We have our first appointment with the fertility clinic in 2 weeks after initial tests suggest all okay. So this cycle feels precious as maybe one of the last attempts before we might need some extra help! On 4 DPO - DTD on day 11,13,14,15. Got my static smiley OPK on day 14, so should have all bases covered. But weā€™ve had all bases covered for many cycles before. Wishing you all luck this cycle.

Hi everyone, nice to see some familiar faces from the November thread :) have been having lots of crazy AF-like symptoms today and it's CD18. Hoping it means something positive and will now just be waiting out until AF arrives! Wishing everyone baby dust for December x

Glago2017 · 30/11/2021 21:27

@Glago2017

Got my peak OPK on Sunday (CD17) and think I ovulated in the early hours of this morning when I was up with my poorly DD. Managed to dtd on CD13, CD15 and CD17. Was going to Try and dtd tonight but DD has been sick and clingy all day so cuddles it was. šŸ¤ž we have done enough. Let the TTW commence.
Following on from my post the other day i wonder if anyone else has been in the same situation? I think I ovulated in the early hours of Monday morning as I felt heavy with some twinges. I had a little EWCM on Friday, quite a lot on Sunday morning and have just had some again tonight? My OPK's have went back to low. So my question is, do you think I ovulate on Monday morning and has anyone else experienced EWCM after ovulation? X

It is hard @KTPx ! Especially this time of year! Well done you though. Fingers crossed x

KTPx · 30/11/2021 20:44

Iā€™ve quit smoking, now using a vape hoping that will help and cut down on drinking and trying to be good but itā€™s so hard!šŸ˜‚ Iā€™m hoping December will be my month fingers crossed šŸ˜¬

gvs97 · 30/11/2021 20:26

Hi all, nice to see some familiar names again from TTC November!
Hope you're all well :)
I have today just finished my first period following my miscarriage in October. So nervous but excited to be trying again for December.
No idea how to work out ovulation dates/cycle length etc with everything being thrown off from the erpc so I think it'll be good old fashioned baby dancing every other day from next week onwards. Hoping Xmas fun keeps me from overthinking but don't think it helps that AF will be due around Christmas day! I suppose if it's not meant to be this month at least I can have a boozy Christmas lol.
Is everyone trying to cut down on alcohol/eat healthy etc this month? I'm trying but pretty rubbish this time of year.
Baby dust to you all x

@Sunrise321 sounds like a plan! Having lots planned definitely helped me. Iā€™ve never been out for so many meals and meeting friends šŸ˜‚ And I swung between those two emotions all the time too! I donā€™t know why we torture ourselves like it šŸ˜‚šŸ™ˆ

Itā€™s so difficult @Sunrise321, it just takes over all your thoughts doesnā€™t it! I think just keeping busy is the best bet, it makes it feel like the days go faster šŸ˜Š

Aw not at all @Squiff70! I was straddling two November TTC threads, the one where me and you were both on, and the TTC NOVEMBER 2021 one too, the ladies on that thread asked if there was a December one going and I posted the link to your thread for them to join. A few other ladies said they would like a TTC DECEMBER 2021 thread made for the ladies from the TTC November one to continue on to, so I thought I would make one for those to join if they wished šŸ˜Š no offence meant at all, youā€™ve been nothing but kind on your thread šŸ˜˜

@KTPx itā€™s so hard to not let it become all consuming isnā€™t it šŸ˜© I know people say to find distractions but even then, itā€™s still at the forefront of your mind a lot of the time. Really hoping it happens soon for you!

Thank you! Itā€™s just all I can think again and each time my period comes Iā€™m so disappointed Sad hopefully it happens soon!

Squiff70 · 30/11/2021 15:02

@SantiagoSister have I done something wrong? There's already an active December thread following on from the Lucky October and Remember the Month of November threads. If you don't want to join it that's fine but I'm just hoping I haven't said or done something to offend you!

Good luck @Glago2017, it sounds like you have done enough šŸ¤žšŸ¼ Hope DD is feeling better soon!

Hi @KTPx, I think itā€™s normal for periods and ovulation to vary by a few days each month šŸ˜Š wishing you lots of luck. Donā€™t forget it can take a completely healthy couple up to a year to conceive, so please donā€™t be too hard on yourself just yet!

Just wondering if I can join this thread as I need some advice? I am in my 4th cycle now TTC and Iā€™m wondering if my periods are normal or not as they are between 28-35 days is this normal for it to change every month a few days early or late? And does that mess with my ovulation dates as I think I know when Iā€™m ovulating but nothings happened yet Confused thank you
