Thought I'd start a November thread for those of us left over from the October thread. (I hope this is ok and I'm not bypassing some sort of forum etiquette).

Here are my stats:
Loki
ttc #2
Cycle 2
CD 14
ETD 6th November

mummy so sorry to hear that, it's such a sad thing even when it's so early so allow yourself time to process it.

I mc at just over 5 weeks and my dr said that there was no reason not to start trying straight away, she said not to dtd until the bleeding has stopped due to risk of infection but other than that it's not a problem. I think sometimes they say wait a month so that you know where you are in your cycle to make it easier for dating if you get pg. I just decided to not worry for the first month an just dtd if I felt like it as then start again properly the month after. Is been 3 months now and currently waiting for a late AF so fingers crossed. All that said if you don't feel emotionally ready to start again then do give yourself a proper break, for me I wanted to feeling like I was actively doing something (forgive the pun) towards getting pg again as knew that would help me

Purplerain067 · 18/11/2015 14:10

Jw35 · 18/11/2015 17:09

Argh! I really feel pregnant now! I think I'm 8dpo. Sore boobs (think falling over in gravel) really full and heavy too, creamy cm, aches and pains in uterus-stabbing/prickling etc, cramps ovaries, headache, vivid dreams, cranky calf muscles, bloated and tired! I feel so certain this is it! I'm going to cave and test this weekend (due to test Tuesday/Wednesday). I don't usually get a positive until 12dpo though so Sunday/Monday. Tww is doing my head in! X

Jw35 · 18/11/2015 17:11

Mummy sorry to hear your loss. I mc at 4 weeks 3 days back in September so know the feeling. You can try again straightaway! My dd was the month after a mc last year xx

Mimilicious013 · 18/11/2015 18:25

Sorry Jw!!another 4-5 days to go(and each day seems like a year).baby dust

MummyC92 · 18/11/2015 18:59

Thank you for all your kind comments, April & Jw Sorry to hear of your losses Sad I feel that taking a break would be best, obviously if during this time we do fall pg that is great but will stop actively trying for the time being. Not sure I feel emotionally ready for the process of trying again!

MrsNuckyT · 19/11/2015 09:59

Sorry to hear the sad news from mummy, also yours jw.

Well, I'm officially off this bus and feeling very very low about it. I feel it is never going to happen. I'm toying with paying for some private tests, but I don't know if it is just going to be putting too much pressure on us. We've been trying since May, so it's 'only' seven months but it feels like forever. :(

Mimilicious013 · 19/11/2015 15:40

Sorry MrsNucky its so painful to see af showing up when u know u did every thing possible.don't give up just yet.i had last dd after a year so hang in there and fx this is your cycle !!!

AddictedtoGreys · 19/11/2015 17:45

36 hours until test time. I'm hoping its BFP but after my bfn yesterday I'm not getting my hopes up. Would be very lucky to catch on first cycle after finishing the pill.

Namethattune · 19/11/2015 18:37

Sorry you're feeling low Nucky. I feel your pain. TTC is an emotional rollercoaster, and the bfn/af month after month can really get you down. Did you mention it to the dr when you had your medical?

I don't know what is going on with my body this month. I thought af had arrived on Sunday, but it continued as just spotting for 3 days, then yesterday and today nothing! I though af was due yesterday, so poas this morning, but it was bfn. My cycle varies between 27-31 days, and today is cd29, so it could just be a long cycle, but I've never had spotting that has then stopped before. It normally turns into af. I don't know what to think.

Fruitbatyogi · 19/11/2015 18:48

MrsNT you can get NHS tests after 6 months of trying if you are over 35 - I did - it's what the NICE guidance says even if you already have a child you get the tests but not treatment - you may have to press your GP a bit and insist/ print out nice guidance and show them Blush if you're me...

Purplerain067 · 19/11/2015 23:08

Due to test on Sunday. No real symptoms here, just very sore boobs! I'm a bit snappy too- not sure if that's a symptom but I remember being rather hard work when pregnant with my first!

quitecrunchy · 19/11/2015 23:15

Mummy so sorry to hear about your loss Flowers

Like name I'm also unsure what's going on with me at the mo. I'm at CD22, 9dpo and have some spotting today. It's really early for AF for me (usually 26-28 day cycles, never this short) so I don't want to count myself out yet but I don't want to get my hopes up either Confused

AprilShowers16 · 20/11/2015 08:46

Update from me, had a very faint bfp yesterday and today on CDs 33 and 34. I know a line is a line but trying not to overthink it at the moment as had an mc before at 6 weeks.

MiniLop · 20/11/2015 09:32

Congratulations on your BFP April! Thanks
I'm currently CD14, had a slight hint of EWCM yesterday so DTD. Probably will again tonight or tomorrow. I guess that puts me on the December bus really, might test on 30th Nov just so I can stay on this bus Wink

AddictedtoGreys · 20/11/2015 09:45

Congratulations april Thanks

Thisisbonkers · 20/11/2015 13:03

Congratulations april Flowers

I've had a couple of days of light period pains following ovulation. At least when I think I ovulated. Not sure what that means but tests next week so...

Purplerain067 · 20/11/2015 14:25

Congratulations April! Flowers

quitecrunchy · 20/11/2015 14:59

Congratulations April!

Looks like I'm out. Way too much blood for implant bleed so looks like just an early visit from AF. Good luck to everyone still in the 2WW, hope not to see you on the Dec bus!

Jw35 · 20/11/2015 15:05

Congratulations April!

Today's symptoms: dry lips, achy legs and fatigue. I'm 10dpo and need the next few days to go quick!

Mimilicious013 · 20/11/2015 15:28

Congrats April.fingers crossed for a sticky bean!!

Somnambulator · 20/11/2015 15:42

Congrats april!

Sorry crunchy hope next month is your lucky one.

As an update I'm not feeling too hopeful despite having a very early bfp I am having lots of period cramps. Due AF tomorrow and feeling a bit scared.

AddictedtoGreys · 20/11/2015 16:55

som hope everything works out for you, maybe it's just normal pregnancy cramps. Try not to get stressed Thanks

AprilShowers16 · 20/11/2015 22:44

hug som it's so hard not too worry. I feel terrified every time I go to the toilet! I think the only thing to hold on to is that everyone is different and that cramps can mean a whole manor of things and be very normal. I think pg symptoms are very similar to AF!
