Nov 2024 TTC 💖

Ah thanks so much @Butterflygirl23 !

I will definitely invest in some! I think I know as my cycles are super regular and I get a lot of EWCM at the same time each month but there’s no harm in double checking…

Aww thank you I'm so sorry to hear about yours too. It's such an exciting time but so scary too
Good luck with your journey too

It's definitely worth buying ovulation strips at the start to test when you are ovulating unless you know already? My flo app is usually spot on with mine that's how I used it to conceive my first and the miscarriage I've just had and like I say I know by my body when it's time for us to DTD lol

Good luck you've got this x

Hello can I join please?

TTC #1 for the first time (I’m 37, DH 34). Excited but nervous as it all seems a bit complicated…feel like I don’t know anything compared to lots on here!

We do know DH’s swimmers are all ok though as he had some tests as part of medical treatment last year. No idea about whether I’m in working order - am I being naive to think we should try a bit before getting me checked out?

Day 1 of cycle today so let’s see how things go…

@Butterflygirl23 so sorry for your loss! I had my first miscarriage last week so just waiting for my cycle to come back but just wanted to wish you all the best for tcc this cycle! I hope you get some really positive news! 💕

Hello can I join please?

I've just had an early miscarriage at 5 weeks unfortunately but we are ready to go again this cycle hopefully. I've brought some ovulation strips to test my ovulation next week as it should happen again straight after. I usually can tell when I'm ovulating though by EWCM but just brought strips because I've never experienced a miscarriage before and not sure when it'll happen this time round. I'm on day 8 and my AF is due 16th so il not be testing till I'm late

Cycle 4, already have a 13 month girl which took 7 cycles

Good luck ladies xx

@HA22 I've always used the natural cycles app so hoping I'll see tge temp change on that for the first cycle but we won't be ttc that time as I'd like to wait #1 cycle but already have cb opk tests ready for cycle #2!

Morning! CD14, got a flashing smiley 😊 on CB digital finally and starting to get a bit of EWCM.
going to start trying today with Preseed

@Jess1066 I'm so sorry for your loss.

@HA22 oh I understand that! We also co sleep and my youngest still comes in during the middle of the night but he does start the night in his own bed now. He would likely settle if we lay next to him and sneak out. If I get pregnant again we will be more pro active about it 😅

@Hen2000 Wow! How lovely - super mom! Not a lot of time when you're not pregnant or breastfeeding! I breastfed mine exactly 2 years to his birthday but I miss it so much! We were co sleeping at the time and it was the only thing that was stopping him from sleeping through. In all honesty, he doesn't sleep though yet as he awakes multiple times asking for water🙄

@Jess1066 I'm so sorry for your loss xx Are you going to use OPK tests?

@MyGardenDaisies thank you so much! We are really trying to look to the future with hope! I wish you all the best for mid November with baby #2 💕

@Jess1066 I am so sorry for your loss 💔 all the best to you on the new journey ! X

Hi All,

I'd like to join! A bit about my story, we re both 29 and started ttc back in July and fell pregnant August, we miscarried last week at 9 weeks but would like to try again as soon as it's possible! Not sure if November will be possible for us as I'm waiting for my cycle to start again but either way would love some of all your hope and positivity to rub off on me even if that means December! Kind of need something to keep me looking to the future while we wait as I'm struggling with that at the minute!

Much love, hope and well wishes to you all as you go on your ttc journeys this month! 💕

Even though i’m 99.9% I an not ovulating rn, we DTD today and I already feel silly - 1, because I read if we did get lucky with implantation it can disturb, but 2, should I have a super random ovulation I went for a shower straight away! Ughhhh annoyed myself xx

My older two are 18 months apart. Then 4.5 years between my second and third. My third just turned three. I have breast feed for three years with the last two and I don't ovulate until I've stopped. I would of loved 3 and 4 to be closer in age but there are lovely things with all the different age gaps I think :)

@Hen2000 Wishing you all the best this month! Are your children close together or is it only this time round you want another one soon? x

Hello all. I'm glad someone's made this thread - thank you!
My husband (28) and I (25) are trying for DC2. This is cycle 2 (DC1 was conceived on cycle 1) and currently CD4. I did something sooo foolish last cycle. I always run straight to the toilet after DTD to wash (anything to avoid a UTI) and I push everything out. It only occurred to me yesterday how unhelpful that is😂 Instead of encouraging the sperm to reach the egg, I'm forcing them out the other way😭

Hello! Ttc baby number 4. 3 children and one missed miscarriage before my eldest. A couple of chemical pregnancies too.

I had my first period back from breastfeeding during October and next period due roughly Nov 8th. I did ovulate once during the summer so this would be cycle 2 for us.

Currently 3dpo I've had some luck testing earlier in the past but not sure when I will test yet

Joining from oct thread. Little bit about me. Iv just turned 36. Currently on my 11 cycles. No bfp in that time. Partner has had SA. all number good. Iv had day 21 bloods and confirmed i am are ovulating. I have an 8 year old daughter that was conceived through ivf with my ex partner due to low sperm count. This month we have decided to not do ovulation strip testing and just try and go with the flow x

Hi I’m cycle number 4 ttc number 3. Currently on CD9 due on 15th November, fingers crossed this is a lucky month for all of us

Aw i’m sorry to hear - that’s sounds really tough - sending you allll the baby dust for this month! Xx

Joining you all in Nov - had a chemical pregnancy in Oct following 2 early miscarriages since late 2023. Really hoping for some luck for all of us this month 🤞🏼

Thank you v much. I am sure those stats are why i’m also feeling pretty meh. It just isn’t like in school where we expect one time to be enough! But trying to remain positive as it can take a healthy couple a year.. and here I am stressing on cycle 3!
