Jump on the November bus! Thread for those that (if we crack it!) will have a Nov '11 due date.

[ravenlocks]

Jump on if you are a TTCer hoping that this cycle is 'the one' and will result in a sprog or sprogette due in November.

Welcoming season ticket holders and new passengers.

Ding ding!

Morning all!!

cep and iggly I have had several friends who have 'lined up' their DCs and often thought how nice, but then also how stressful it could be if it didn't quite work out for one of them! Thinking of you guys [hug emoticon]

iggly I have resisted testing yet but only because a) am crazy busy at work and therefore too tired to sort out b) haven't tried one of my eBay cheapies yet as they're the dipstick kind and I can't be arsed to get a plastic cup out to pee in to then dip into and there was me thinking that if I got those I could POAS to my hearts content this week and not feel guilty about the cost?!?!

Though really not feeling PG this month at all! Last month I was convinced I was and it was BFN all the way...so we'll see I guess! Gonna see if I can hold out until saturday before testing now...not sure a BFN or BFP would help me get my deadline sorted for Friday!!

morning,

I've had a small streak of blood in cm last night and this morning, was only small but def blood. so reckon af will start soon. also have ache again on right side of stomach. Almost tested again this morning just incase but i think would have been a waste of money, will wait and see what happens.

Oh cep ... really hope it's implantation and not AF! fx for you...

Morning! I got my crosshairs this morning, was Saturday apparently we didn't swi on Friday, but did the days before and on Sat, so we will see...

How are we all today?

cep fx!!!!

Bluecrane I seem to feel more symptoms every other cycle, this one is the one when I feel nothing... so won't be getting my hopes up

I seem to remember from the my previous pregnancies the months I didnt feel any symptoms was the month I tested positive, and only did one test and surprise surprise it was positive, so still some hope for those not feeling any symptoms, I have no desire to poas anymore so hopefully this will keep me going until AF is due :)

Thanks going I have been hoping the reverse psychology might work with lack of 'symptoms'

Morning cep FX

However I too have woke this am with a sore lower back I get quite strongly most months up to a week before AF, I have felt my hopes dashed now.

In contrast I woke up yesterday very early at 530 (DH had just got up) normally I would go back over to sleep till 7ish but I just had to go to the loo and was hungry which isnt like me.

I have also just had half a cup of coffee and nothing felt different like how it did on train two days ago

I went to sleep last night before the end of second episode of corrie finished thinking I had good hopes.

going I love you no symptons thinking - oh how our bodies and hormones can play such tricks eh fx for you.

Really I stressed about the gap was desperate for a two year gap then it pushed back to three etc, but having been through all sorts of other stuff I am just happy to be where I am at now trying for DC no.2 and can see the benefits of having a big gap:

Less strain on finances - no overlap of childcare etc (and we are in a better position then we were two years ago)
I have been able to focus on DS and now that he is at school I can offer the same focus to a DCno.2 espcially now I am older
I have 'cleared' all major stages of early years and feel more experienced for next one.
DS would dearly love a brother or sister and he can be involved in simple bits

I know there are major advantages to having them close together such as early years nappies/general mess is done and dusted BUT MAINLY they will grow up together. It took me a long time to let go of ths fixed idea I had in my head and now feel much more relaxed for it. I am also in a better place (yuk) personally and can look forward instead of constantly assessing what seld imposed boxes I havnt ticked.

Sorry long HTH someone

Cep, fx for an implantation bleed for you.

I've finished obsessing now, getting it out on here really helps. I find the obsessing peaks after spending time with my pg friends! Day 18/35 today, cervix high still and cm wet.

I'm dreaming of giving birth every night, last night I had twin girls in a shopping centre with one push each! Although DD2's birth was fab, it wasn't quite that quick! DH says he's sending one back if we do get twins!

cep sorry you had a streak of blood this morning, but fx for you still. well done for not poas again though.

bluecrane and goingmad glad you have both lost the urge to poas again. bluecrane i wasn't symptom spotting quite the same when i got pg (mc in dec) but i don't recall having any symptoms until about 5 days or a week after my bfp. You know how it goes - its not over until the fat lady sings!

at your DH lucy my DH asked me the other night what would i do if we had triplets???? Well firstly there's not much i could do, but why triplets???

I am CD15/40...... so still waiting impatiently to even ov ( cep i'm certain now my temp rise was a cold)

To Love, my DS is 9 in april so if I get a BFP this month there will be a huge age gap. DS is so excited to be a big brother though. He is old enough to know we're trying and knows its not going to happen over night. I am a bit worried when it comes to holidays and things and trying to find things for them both to do.
I'm obsessing this week about symptoms. I'm convinced I have the sore boobs (even OH has commented), I've been feeling peaky on and off for a few days too. I have one test left in my drawer so am seeing when is the earliest I can test before AF next wednesday. Probably setting myself up for a BFN though.

Good luck to all the BFP and FX for everyone else. Sending lots of baby dust.

Those who are going to have big gaps...my DH is 9 years older than his little sister and they both love it. He's more like a cool uncle than a brother (iykwim!), she used to stay at ours when she was hiding that she was going clubbing form her parents, we did all of the sex talk stuff with her (we've been together since we were 15!), and now she is the COOLEST Aunty to our DDs, they adore her!

When DD1 was born, he was sooooo much better at everything (well, not bf!) than me because he remembered her being a baby...there is so much great stuff about big gaps!

FR tests are buy one get one free in boots. Not good. Luckily I resisted as near work so didn't want anyone to see me!

Yes donkir I have thought about holidays and have visions of us being at opposite ends of center parcs! fx 4u.

Or thanks for lucy I can see all this now re gaps! lovely of you to share!

Iggly that's really not good news!

Oh I thought about going out yesterday to get a FR when feeling nuts, but I also read an old thread on here about inside it says unless you are so many days PO they dont work so if you ovulate late it would be past when AF was due anyway - I dont know how much credibility this has been given elsewhere but it stopped me from getting dressed and going to get one. I am not too hopeful for this cycle now

fx for iggly and seven

Lucy it's great that they're close but I think it works both ways. My Dsis is 8 years older than me but only 2 years older than my DB. She left home and moved in with her unsociable boyfriend was I was 9 so I fever saw her much when I was growing up. We only live 8 miles apart but she's much closer to my DB who lives 100 miles away!

Big sighs, been on here/phone all day. I havnt got any symptons to speak of. I thought I had some tugging type sensations and I have a headache buts thats prob off here.

hi girls. Adding myself to the list. I wasn't going to jump on this bus as it all got too much for me when AF arrived and I was very upset.
Have decided to add myself as I need some company really. Getting married on Saturday and will OV while on honeymoon so I can ask you all to send me good luck vibes for a honeymoon baby?
We're going to the GP when we get back to get the ball rolling on investigations, I need to know whether we're wasting our time and energy on something that will never happen or whether we just need a little medical nudge to help us along.

Queenrollo TTC#2 Cycle 11 UCL 33 AF due 17th March

Just updating myself, realised I was still there on my previous cycle.

queenrollo oh congratulations for sat, and what timing for ov this month you have to celebrate the honeymoon in the good old fashioned sense. definately fx for you. relax and enjoy

love oh hon don't be disheartened. Remind me when you're due again. i used fr and negative, according to it's website can use from six days before af due, but am a bit .. I was going to attach a page off ff which showed how many pg tests showed a pos early but as my vip status ended yesterday won't show me. daft thing. and fr was very low as was cbdigi. and no suprise i tested again and still bfn, but my af is due sat (not fri as previously thought) so technically still really early. still a bit of blood in cm but no spotting on st or when wipe yet. Please felt dizzy earlier so naturally hopes have gone sky rocketing again. I have a feeling i am heading for a big fall this month.

queen I'm so sorry about your bfn, and that your feeling lonely, but glad you joined us. congratulations on your wedding on Saturday. I know it's hard to pull yourself out of a ditch when your low, but just think about the amazing day you have to look forward to and the wonderful thing you and your dp are doing making that commitment. It's a wonderful special time. Where is your honeymoon? I'll store up some good luck vibes for then for you. Xx

queen sorry i just realised i just focused my message on the wedding. i'm sorry about the bfn, and that you're finding it so upsetting. you'd never think it could be so stressful until you're ttc. I'm on here most afternoons at some point. (more than is healthy probably) if you need to chat. .

Hey all and congrats to queen on upcoming wedding and definite SWI action on honeymoon!! fx for you this time around...AF arriving when TTC is SO disheartening so I do really feel for you!

Having set my mind on waiting until Saturday to POAS (so that work deadline complete and off my mind on Friday...which may also be when AF due depending on cycle)...I have just had an extension to my deadline until next weds...good as work impossibly stressful but now I might get a BFN or BFP whilst trying to focus on work deadline could be interesting!! Def not waiting until next Thursday as that would just be far too long!! In fact, since I have to wait anyway I might just try POAS in the morning could be too early but I have a bag of 25 internet cheapies to pee on so I may as well give it a shot?!?!

I think OH and I will have to try banging out another one as soon as we can if we made this one, we are both 37 so on borrowed time

Karbea, at "banging out another one"!
