Can I join the November bus :) I'm trying the relaxed approached but I can think if little else. I think OH is enjoying all the extra attention ;)

voxnihili · 22/10/2016 16:09

I'm in my 2ww although it is more likely to be a 3ww as I won't test until AF is late. I think I ovulated on CD12 - I had a few days of cramps prior to this then on CD12 the pain was so bad I could barely move - moving from standing to sitting was agony. We DTD that day. I'm now day 18 and had some weird cramping today but think it would be way too early to be anything.

MouseLove · 22/10/2016 16:39

Well since I got a BFN I'm jumping on this bus. However I have to wait for AF first. Lol

TTC #1
Cycle #1
CD 37

Coming off cerelle pill. So my cycles are obviously taking a bit to become normal. Negative test on CD36 and 37.

MotherofUnicorns · 22/10/2016 17:24

Hi to mimi vox and mouse and anyone else from october!! And to any new peeps.
Currently seeing the end of AF and on cd3. We actually have 2 child free nights this week when i will be cd 6 and 7 so might bank some swimmers early this cycle!!
Had a v drunken night with my bffs last night one of whom is trying to convince me that no3 is a bad idea! The other one told me she thought the gap between my other DC would be too big (5 and 7 years potentially). All in good humour but it made be really think about it and justify which was quite good - i realised i do really want another one but i am just going to keep it mega quiet from now on.....
Good luck to you heather i was exactly the same this month, totally convinced i had implantation cramps but i think i was just constipated!
have a good weekend everyone.

miraflores81 · 22/10/2016 18:33

Having a tough month this month and been having terrible rows with OH. Anyone found that stress from ttc is affecting their relationship? Sad
We have made it up now but will take me a while to recover as we don't really row much normally.

Babybeesmama · 22/10/2016 19:07

Jumping on!
TTC no 3
Cycle 3
AF due 4/11

Trying not to go nuts during 2ww!

Heatherbaby · 22/10/2016 19:08

Hi mouse following your journey through other threads too but welcome to the November bus.. may this be the one for all of us aboard!

motherofunicorns haha yep I think it's most likely something related to constipation as it's surely far too early to expect any real symptoms yet. Also don't listen to your friend about the age gaps! There are 8 years between me and my older sis and 4 years between me and youngest sis (so 12 between youngest and eldest). Amongst that we have a brother who is 6 years older than me. I still have fab memories playing with all of them in my childhood and now we are older the age gap is not a problem at all. We all hang out together - 37, 35, 29 (me) and 25. We all benefit from each others experiences but are close enough to have similar interests. So I couldn't advocate age gaps enough. Also, my older sis who is my ttc journey role model, has 3 kids (8, 6 and 2) and whilst her family feels bigger than average, their household is just lovely and fun.

As an update the faint cramp feeling has been coming and going...I guess depending on my concentration on it! I have been mega hungry and tired yesterday and today...but again, this could be normal...

mira yes ttc does seem to put pressure on the relationship and it's important to not let it effect it too much. I got a positive opk on Sunday morning and my husband had made some unimportant plans that afternoon. I was so angry he wouldn't hand about to DTD and accused him of not taking this seriously and not caring. Honestly I was a bit like a woman possessed! He did try to make an effort that night and the following few but I have just felt very sensitive throughout this first month of TTC... it's normal to a degree but I guess we need to remember our OH's feelings in all of this too!

I'll hop on please

I'm going cold turkey in terms of BBT, opk and symptom spotting this cycle - Hopefully this thread won't make me become obsessed again like I was last cycle!

Lulu298 · 22/10/2016 22:47

Hello October peeps! Hope this is our lucky bus. Smile

Have had a really nice evening (CD3): glass of red wine, dark choc and Strictly! Yay!

Mira sorry to hear that ttc has caused tension this month. It has this weird way of making you question everything, doesn't it? Hope you get a chance to chill together at some point.

Me & dh have got a week off together coming up but Sod's law, it doesn't coincide with our fertile week! Annoying!

RoseValleyRambles · 23/10/2016 09:35

Another one from the October bus hopping on board!

Waiting out AF at the moment. Was naively sure it'd happen first month round, so now settling in for a slightly more realistic approach. On the plus side, every month is a little more saved in the bank...
Might try those kiwi fruit. :)

sandsandwiches · 23/10/2016 20:57

Evening ladies! Jumping over from October bus. BFN this morning then AF arrival this evening but at least I know cycles now so can get properly stuck into DTG Grin

ThereIsNoFelange · 23/10/2016 21:18

Hello

Jumping on board for the first time - decided we are TTC #2.

Just DTD unprotected for the first time in 2 years. I have no idea if it's the right time of the month yet or not, my cycles are irregular. Just hoping for the best...

Babybeesmama · 23/10/2016 21:45

Motherofunicorns... funny I've had similar negativeness regarding TTC no 3.. me & DH both one of 3 & have always said we wanted 3! Trying not to listen to negatives as me & DH have already discussed no 3 at length & decided it's what we want! X

SoozC · 23/10/2016 21:54

Welcome, Rose, Sandwich and ThereIs.

Sorry to hear you've rowed with DH, mira. It is a stressful time.

Lulu, you never know, you could ov early or late so lots of dtd (dtg) anyway!

Writerwannabe83 · 23/10/2016 22:30

Hello fellow passengers, some of whom I recognise from previous buses.

Age: 33 in two days time Cake
TTC #2 (DS is 2.5 years old).
I Hhad a miscarriage on Cycle one, took a couple of months off until I felt ready to try again and now I'm on cycle 8.

Over the previous 10 months of tracking I've always had my positive OPK on CD17/18 but today I'm at the end of CD20 and still no positive OPK despite testing 2-3 times a day.

I'm a bit confused really.

My period would be due 3rd November but seeing as I don't seem to have ovulated this month im thinking pregnancy is not going to occur Sad

saritah · 24/10/2016 04:34

Hi all wondering if I could join Smile

I'm still a bit iffy with all the abbreviations so may need some help!

My dh has finally agreed ttc after me wanting to for 18 months!!

Thank you and good luck Halo

MrsG280516 · 24/10/2016 09:28

Had positive OPKs last night and this morning, so I'm expecting to ovulate by tomorrow. So changing my test date slightly to 8.11.16 Smile

Anyone else get AF like cramps in the days leading up to ov?

ChaircatMiaow · 24/10/2016 10:06

Well hello everyone! Jumping aboard.

Age 36
TTC#2
Cycle 2
CD20

We only DTD once while I had a positive OPK so not holding out much hope for this cycle. Also cycle length has been all over the place since periodscame back after DD.
Last month got my period 10 dpo.

Has anyone else's luteal phase gone a bit haywire since having a baby?

19Laura88 · 24/10/2016 16:52

age 28
TTC #1
Cycle 3
CD 24 of usually around 30 days.

Currently In the tww thinking every little twinge is a symptom! Going to test on 1st November if AF hasn't arrived. OPK test positive on day 18 so presuming I have ovulated either then or day after.

19Laura88 · 24/10/2016 16:53

Forgot to add we DTD every day from cycle day 15 to 20!
