November bus opening doors- all aboard for BFPs!!!

[IamEvan]

I know its waaay early for a November bus to set off but AF arrived today kicking me off the September bus and with DH away next month the October bus is not an option. Anyone fancy joining me in the long wait? I don't expect much action on this thread for a few weeks but it would be nice to have some company. My stats are below:

iamevan, 35, TTC#2, cycle 6, BFP due 7th November

Hi terry's! I'm hoping to try soy days 4-8 or 5-9 to help my old(ish) eggs! I have orderd then and they should arrive tomorrow, which will be day 4. I seem to remember someone saying about taking them at night to minimise side effects.
I'm also hoping it might shorten my cycle a bit as well. 35 days is too long for my patience!

Chandlers I'm sorry you've not responded to the medication but I'm glad you have a plan and wish you all the luck for your IVF next year. The dog sounds fab too!

Terrys I was contemplating Soy this month but I'm regular and I think I normally ovulate, although my past two cycles Fertility friend hasn't judged my temps to show ovulation so I don't really know what's going on. I think I might give it a go next month. Let us know how you get on.

bluesky I will, I'm a little nervous about taking it as I've read it can mess up some people's cycles but as I only have one tube now I think I need some extra help. Gah, I don't know what to do actually, I can't decide if I should take them or not mess with nature, if anyone has any good advice please let me know!

Hi all,
will catch up soon but wanted to come and put my stats on now af has arrived :(

Treaclepie19, 24, ttc #1, cycle 10 ( mc cycle 4 ), BFP due 17th November

Hi Treacle, really sorry to see you here, I was so convinced this was your month. Are you ok?

Treacle sorry your AF has arrived. Despite trying not to think about it this month, and succeeding for the most part, I was still really gutted when it arrived this morning. Some part of my brain always thinks that I've managed to get pregnant. Hopefully we'll be BFP buddies this cycle on the 17th!

Terrys it's hard to know. I know some of the ladies on these buses have had success with the soy, but I think their cycles were irregular. I've been reading some stuff about it online today but I still don't know what to do. I think I'll wait until next cycle as my cycles are 26-27 days and I think I do normally ovulate, if I don't get a temp rise after ovulation again this month I might try it or go and see the dr.

Thanks purple, i really did too.
I'm not feeling great to be honest. Had a good old cry before going back to work for parents evening :(
Onwards and upwards I spose!

Thanks bluesky, fingers crossed :)

Chandlers sorry to read your message, wishing you all the luck in the world for your ivf journey, and enjoy your remaining time in Thailand :) Please feel free to pop in and visit us if you want to!

treacle sorry to see you here my dear. I really hoped that October was your month.

Thank you x Me too :(

Oh wankerty wank, treacle!! I was so hoping Pregtober would work it's magic on you. I'm so sorry xx But hey, pregvember will be ours sweet

chandlers, so sorry to hear your meds haven't done the biz. You sound relatively chipper about things though so defo enjoy Thailand and thinking about that lovely pup pup you'll get when you're back, then just about training it before your bubba arrives take care

Nothing to report here on the ttc front but I've had an amazing day at the coronation street studio tour. Defo recommend it if you're a fan!

Thanks Broody, i really hope so :)
I was half tempted to avoid this cycle because after the mc I'm a bit nervous about being 8 weeks at Xmas time :/

Just updating stats:

MaGratgarlik1983, 31, ttc#1, cycle 3, AF/BFP due Nov 7th

Morning all

Can I climb aboard please, due to get kicked off the pregtober bus any day after big temp drop.....there's no hiding from the witch!

Sorry to see so many familiar faces here but I know I'm in good company

Another soy taker here, I've taken it for 2 cycles. I have regular 27/28 day cycles. First cycle stayed the same, this cycle I ov'd early so I'm going to have quite a short cycle. I upped the dose slightly this month so I think I'll drop it back to same as I took first time.
I'm also starting acupuncture and have a referral to the fertility clinic at the hospital.

I will do my stats when af arrives.....probably later today!

Good luck ladies

Can someone help? I am supposed to be doing a mucky mudder event in November when I'll be about 5-7dpo. Its a 5 mile run with obstacles so I'm thinking crawling, up and down (they haven't released many details yet) but basically getting muddy is the title so you get the gist. Do you think I should do it?

scratch that, I'll be 7-10dpo so basically implantation (if all goes well )

Terrys I have been of the view you can't put your life on hold to wait and see what happens. If it is going to implant it will, doesn't matter if your running at the time.

However it's because it took me over a year to conceive Ds and I'm on month 11 with this one. Life should go on

I agree! Just go for it! I assume that you're generally fit and used to running? If it's a strong, healthy little blastocyst it will be fine

I also agree, just go for it! You can't put life on hold or things will be doubly miserable. As has already been said, if you're used to running and exercising, you don't need to stop. Good luck with it - sounds great fun!

Hey spinning, shitter to see you here but come sit near me on this bus. I got homemade cupcakes decorated like witches, their broomsticks are made of yummy Flake chocolate.

Terry, I would go for it, as the others have said you can't put your life on hold. I did a similar thing and it was quite good fun until I had to go through the 'sheep dip'. Where you're submerged in a tunnel of freezing water! Getting pulled out by a royal marine was rather nice though

Oh and also on the one I did you could opt out of any bits of it that you didn't want to do.

I am only really asking about the obstacle bits, if it was a run I wouldn't care as I'm still running now but I remember reading on the October bus that exercise around implantation can affect it and although I don't usually change anything when TTC, I'm only worried because this would be right at implantation stage and I don't want to risk anything. Not sure what to do! I am thinking of making DH take my place

I think u should do it Terry's

Treacle I'm sorry you've been sad! totally understandable! I had a little cry myself yesterday. However, you do know that you've just invoked the law of sod by thinking about skipping this cycle?! Amazing!! 17th of November we are getting our BFPs!!

Terrys I would do it still too. For the first few months of TTC I didn't do any vigorous activity or drink alcohol but then realised I was missing out on stuff for no reason. And I always think about these people who get pregnant without even knowing, the little spermed egg must be pretty sturdy and I don't think that leaping over obstacles will knock it out of place. I'm tempted to try a course myself, it sounds like fun!

Spinning I hadn't realised you were taking soy....I might actually give it a go myself this cycle then. I'll be cd3 tomorrow and will be back in the uk so might pop by tesco on my way home from work and start tomorrow night or Saturday. Which days are you taking it?

I've just realised that my peak time of my cycle in November falls during a couple of weeks leave for both my husband and I. We're not going away but will be doing stuff on our new house together so hopefully we should be able to fit in lots of DTD this time and no time zone changes/working through the night to mess up my body! Plus, if I don't get pregnant I am really excited about drinking lots of mulled wine in December and going skiing in January (trying to invoke my own law of sod now! )

Blue I took it on both cycle cd3-7 but I think this time I'll take it 4-8. I really want to just get a better egg but af has just arrived making this cycle very short at only 21days!!! Before soy I was regular 27/28 day cycle. This will be my last month on it if my cycle is short again.

Stats: spinningirl10 ttc#3 cycle 17, bfp due Nov 18th.
