The November Bus: Bonfires and BFP'S!

[Loki17]

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:

CD 14
ETD 6th November

Morning everyone, hope you all had a nice weekend! I finally got a positive opk yesterday and I had a couple of clear blue digital ov sticks left so did one which came up with a smiley face. I have only ever got a positive once before which was pre mc but also on Cd16. Anyway we dtd Cd15. Positive opk last night 8pm ish but then dh wasn't feeling too well and went to bed early. You see I don't tell him that I use opks as I know it would make him feel under pressure but I hope it's not too late if we dtd tonight? Arggh this ttc malarkey is such a joy isn't it

Should read before posting - using one step ov test strips when confirmed with clear blue

Hi all, hopping over from October.

TTC #3
Cycle: lost count
CD: not counting
ETD: After my holiday - 8/9th Nov. That bitch had better not ruin my break!

Morning all,

Symptom spotting is the absolute worst, isn't it? Have been crampy for a few days now. Of course it could be anything, particularly first month off the pill. I don't want to test until after my spa break () as that's probably about the right time to test anyway, and also to be completely honest I'm not anxious to be pregnant first very first month so I'm not too bothered - but till manically symptom spotting!

Hi,

Can I jump on too? This is my first message on Mumsnet and I am in the full swing of TTC madness. You know its bad when you run up to your DH waving a positive ovulation stick in his face and demand to DTD

Not sure about a testing date. Now AF has arrived I'll be booking a day 21 blood test and have a scan appointment for 25th November.

Hope this thread is lucky for you Bonkers x

Thanks Loki

Hello

Quick question counting the days of post ovulation is it from the day after a positive opk??.

Yes. The surge is supposed to happen 12-36 hours before ovulation I believe.

Ovulation is roughly a day after positive OPK. So for my 1 day post ovulation is 2 days post positive OPK if that makes sense.

Yes thank you I get now thanks lady's .

I've been using this website:
pregnancy.familyeducation.com/first-trimester/week-2-of-pregnancy/65801.html
and I'm finding it really helpful and informative. It is scary, because it explains the science behind how are bodies work and by reading it I have realised just how small a chance I have each month. However, it is somehow making me feel so much calmer during the tww. I think it is helping me to understand just how and why I can't control conception! Thought others might want a look anyway x

I got a faint line on the opk befor so hoping tomorrow will be the day I'm on cd 14 hoping it's soon not sure what's going on as I got a pretty strong line on cd 10 very confused

Love that link Loki really interesting!

Cd18 and 4 dpo here. I'm starting to get slightly achy boobs from the post ov progesterone surge so I'm really hopeful I ov'd when I thought I did. I'm not symptom spotting either just yet which is a mahoosive improvement on last month when I tested at 4dpo . If nothing else, I'm getting reacquainted with my cycle after the implant which can only be a good thing. Hope everyone else is doing ok xx

7DPO here and I've promised myself I won't test until at least 14DPO (if I get that far). When I had DS I got negatives on 10DPO and 12DPO then a strong positive on 14DPO so I know that testing early is probably pointless. I didn't have any symptoms last time either so I'm trying not to look for them. It's weird being in limbo and thinking I could be 3 weeks pregnant... or not!

Sorry to keep pestering everyone but is this a positive opk we dtd this morning and and every day this week will I need to dtd tomorrow morning also??.

I think a positive needs the test line to be as dark as the control line. That looks very close though so I'd definitely DTD tomorrow or tonight. You want to do it before you ovulate ideally.

Ah, just read that you have DTD today already. I'd skip tonight and DTD tomorrow... Then put your feet up for a few days

Thanks I'm going to do another opk later as a lot of people get a stronger surge later in the day but will definitely dtd in the morning and probably the day after just to be sure I don't miss it lol

I would dtd as much as possible for the next couple of days x

Thanks loki we dtd this morning so will do again tomorrow and the next 2 days just to be sure I'm bloody worn out lol my oh thinks all his christmas's have come at once with all this sex just hope he remembers the lack of sex he will be getting when I am pregnant haha

Can I hop on too?!

Trying since May, currently cycle #4 after MMC/ERPC in August, just had a CP so everything crossed this time round. Losing hope tbh.
ETD 21/11 ish. Want to be a few days late, all early testing has ever brought me is stress. My DD has an August birthday so if we manage it this month we'll have 2 August babies!
