Hey ladies,

Thought I would create a thread for those testing towards the end of Nov/early December.

I'm CD2, TTC first baby. On cycle 5.

fingers crossed for us all!

@Laul89 I think it’s def worth testing for a few cycles just to get a rough idea of when you ovulate! I find it reassuring. But each to their own, I can also understand why ppl might not want to!

@Elephantrose18 thank you! Well we are extremely lucky as it was very quick! I came off the pill on the 13th October! Taking a CB digital tomorrow morning to confirm 🥰

Laul89 · 03/11/2022 18:54

Thanks @Roxybabe ☺️
Yeah it would just be interesting to know when I was actually ovulating but tonight’s test was negative too!
Like you say though no stress and DTD often.. and fingers crossed for all of us 🤞🏼

Roxybabe · 03/11/2022 18:23

@Laul89 don’t stress! I was exactly the same, then ended up doing everything I said I wouldn’t do! Its totally ok to just go by your app but just be aware they arent always accurate! But as long as you are having sex regularly you should be fine!

Thanks for the info @Roxybabe ☺️
As we only started trying last month I said I was going to avoid tracking my fertile window for the first few months.. that didn’t happen 🤣 I also said I wasn’t going to use OPK.. but I bought some a few days ago! I didn’t want to stress over it straight away but the excitement and anticipation kind of runs away with you doesn’t it! Plus I’m almost 33 so don’t feel I have much time to waste!

I did a test yesterday and the day before which were both negative. According to the app I should ovulate tomorrow so will test again tonight and tomorrow. If it’s not lining up and no luck from this cycle I’ll have to go more in depth with trying to find out when I ovulate 🥴

Elephantrose18 · 03/11/2022 16:08

@TI2411 how long were your trying for? 🥳

Elephantrose18 · 03/11/2022 16:08

@TI2411 that looks like a strong positive to me!! Congratulations 🥳 hoping for mine end of the month/start of dec!

TI2411 · 03/11/2022 15:33

Well.. I thought I was out from the October club and into the November club! 😬🤞🏻

Hey @Roxybabe thanks for starting a new thread for this month. I can see there's a few of us from the last one 👋
Cycle 6 for me, fingers crossed for us all! Xx

@Roxybabe thanks for starting a new thread 💕

Found the thread: www.mumsnet.com/talk/conception/4462432-How-we-increased-DHs-morphology-and-sperm-count-with-supplements

my husband hasn’t actually had sperm analysis yet but figured it couldn’t harm to get him taking some vitamins etc.

Saturnsmoon · 03/11/2022 12:58

So he’s actually not taking zinc (will read up on that) he’s just taking vitamin c & d at the moment. I read an interesting post on here a while ago about supplements for men who are tcc - will try and find it.

JuniperandI · 03/11/2022 12:20

Saturnsmoon · 03/11/2022 11:02

Think we’re going to be taking the same approach - currently on cycle 11 of tcc#1. Have started husband on supplements and I’m taking EPO this month. If nothing happens will take a break from tracking December and if still no joy by January will start fertility checks as will have been tcc for a year by then.

fingers crossed for all of us!

What supplements is your husband taking? Mine is just taking zinc at the moment.

Elephantrose18 · 03/11/2022 11:34

Hello! Hope it’s ok to join!

im trying to conceive baby no:2! I have a little girl who’s 4, (5 in may) so been a while since this last happened. I was 22 then, now I’m 26. me and my partner have decided to try now so they don’t have a bigger gap between them.

been trying relaxed mode for 2 cycles so far since September, I’m now on cycle 3 as came on my period a few days ago :( hoping to get my bfp end of November/beginning December!

Saturnsmoon · 03/11/2022 11:02

ChipAndDip · 02/11/2022 18:12

Checking in here too! 👏

I think I’m cycle day 2, but I had lots of brown spotting for 8 days before so I’m a little confused!

Cycle 6, TTC #1. Had a MMC on cycle 2 and nothing since. I’m 35 so the plan is to try properly this month, chill out a bit in December and then if nothing’s happened by Jan I’ll make a doctors appt in the new year to get some fertility checks.

Looking forward to keeping up to date with you all! x

TickingTui · 03/11/2022 01:45

Hi everyone! I'm also a newbie happy for the comradery as TTC #2! I'm also a later ovulator this month - CD19/20. This is cycle 4 for me.

I'm a bit irregular, as AF shows up any time between 28 and 33 days! So I'm relying on LH tests and the PreMom app to keep track. (Highly recommend btw!)

So far, so good... But am stretching out trying a few days either side of the predicted fertile window, just to be sure to be sure! (Thank the Lord for both DH and I being able to work from home 🙈!)

Tbark · 02/11/2022 23:23

@ChipAndDip the proceive I use is a powder once a day if you would find that more convenient xx

BCxx · 02/11/2022 22:39

I’m a late ovulater too 🙋🏼‍♀️ But have noticed I’ve had the heaviest periods I’ve probably ever had the last 3 months since stopping the pill. I’m only getting 8 days or something after ovulation too so I think it could all be linked to progesterone levels. Taking every possible supplement now so hoping it sorts itself out this month

ChipAndDip · 02/11/2022 22:05

Nice to see a few other late ovulaters here - it’s such a frustrating wait isn’t it! I’ve started using the clear blue digital ovulation tests so it gives me some more notice and I don’t end up getting worn out too early 😂

@ChloeN I’ll let you know how we get on with proceive! Only annoying thing is it’s 2 tablets a day instead of 1 but I guess that’s a bit of a first world problem!

elarcoiris · 02/11/2022 20:55

Yeah, this is sort of what I’m thinking. I had a miscarriage before my successful pregnancy with my son but didn’t track the cycle where I conceived and can’t really remember what happened. Keeping fingers crossed that it doesn’t push things out too much and that this might be our month!

ChloeN · 02/11/2022 20:51

@elarcoiris I had a chemical in sept, my next cycle I ovulated day 17 which is later than normal for me! I think it effected my hormones because I bled way longer and heavier too so could be similar for you? My cycle ended up being 30 days instead of 28

LAgeDeRaisin · 02/11/2022 20:48

Thanks @Roxybabe !
I was on progesterone only pill and not sure if my cycle will go straight back to my normal. Had what I think was a period on the 4th Oct. V much hoping for AF tomorrow so I know things are back to normal and can really try this month. I'm TTC #3
