TTC #2 (November BFPs)

[Cariad2014]

If anyone is ttc2 and expecting their AF/ BFP in November then this thread is for you.

Let’s all give ourselves a fabulous excuse not to drink at Christmas!

My stats are as follows:

Age: 35
DS: 2 (in late November)
Cycle: 13 (lucky for some?!?!) I have short cycles so this is month 11 (yawn!)
AF/ BFP due: 2 November

Hello.

We are casually beginning to try for baby number 2, my son is nearly 10 months.

I am still BF him so cycles are a bit all over the place but think I ovulated around 4th Nov. Caved and tested today (8dpo but cycle day 28 so got tempted) but obviously negative.

Will test again on Sunday. Good luck everyone.

Aww good luck hun, let us know how u get on!!

@missy I’d love a big family but DH has always said he only wanted 2. I’m 33 so it would be feasible if TTC for us didn’t take so long. DH is ever the optimist though!

Good luck to you too @amberdixie

Moring all.

I got my BFP this morning at 3am! It's amazing news but Im very cautious though as my history of miscarriages means it may not make the distance. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Good luck to everyone and hope there are some more BFPs on here v soon xxx

That meant to say MORNING not moring.... you may be able to tell that after my positive at 3am, I haven't really slept! xx

Enormous congratulations Secondtime. You must be over the moon. I shall be keeping everything crossed that you have a very dull 8/9 months ahead. Can we have some stats from you please (e.g. age; cycle; timing of dtd; vitamins; lube; anything you did differently)?

Mynameis - I shall be keeping everything crossed that you get your BFP very very soon and that ttc #3 is a breeze in comparison (assuming you want to go there).

Funky - That’s fab news on the progesterone front. Have you got any further tests lined up?

@secondtime that is brilliant news! So happy to hear that

Welcome, amberdixie

Looks like I'm out this month. AF arrived this morning. Oh well, on to #2

Congratulations @secondtime I really hope you have a smooth 9 months.

@cariad I think if we ever get to the point of TTC #3 it will just be a not try not prevent and see what happens. I definitely won’t be putting so much pressure on ourselves.

@ems so sorry Af arrived, be kind to yourself and drink all the wine tonight.

@secondtime - congratulations, that’s great news! as @cariad said I hope you have a very dull 8/9 months in front of you!

@ems sorry to hear that, it’s horrible. Fingers crossed for next month xx

@Secondtimelucky1980 congratulations. Hope everything goes super smoothly for you and baby. So happy for you xx

@ems sorry to hear AF has arrived. Stock up on lots of treats for yourself and have a "You time" evening. Fingers crossed for next time xx

I'm really trying not to get excited but my noobs have started tingling today and my skin is clearing up. Both symptoms for me early on with #1. AF due in 4 days. Coincidentally also same day as my return to work after maternity leave.

Boobs not noobs haha

@Cariad2014 not got anymore tests as of yet, got my appointment through with docs though this morning for 24th November. I do feel happier.

@Ems1986 I'm not far behind you hun, woken up with proper AF symptoms, will be either today or tomorrow which will mean only a 23 day cycle this month, my shortest ever!

Congratulations Second, huge fingers crossed for you babes. X

Thanks so much for all your kind wishes! I had my first set of bloods today to measure my HCG levels and will have the second on Thursday so I should know by Friday whether we are at least out of the starting blocks! Feeling quite pragmatic about it all really, as I know we may MC.

Cariad2018 this was our cycle 1 of trying. I am 37, DH is 44. We tend to get pregnant every time we have sex if we do it at the right time (I use OPKs religiously, cervix checks and CM checks) HOWEVER don't think that I am proud of that or have a special power because I don't!! I have miscarried four times of the five times we have been pregnant. My body for some reason seems to fertilise any old egg but then most don't make it! It's a double edged sword. It's a numbers game for us.

I'm not on any medication, but now I am pregnant, presuming my bloods are OK, my consultant will probably put me on steroids, progesterone and blood thinners for the first three months, then it is just progesterone and blood thinners after that (IF we get that far, and that's a big IF!!)

I'm v sorry for those who got their AF. Crack open the wine and be kind to yourself. I may well be joining you soon if this pregnancy fails... hopefully not, but I am prepared for it.

xx

second time I have everything crossed for you having a smooth final 8 months.

I know funkyemzie, I'm a day early this cycle too. Suppose it's better to have the obsession put to a stop sooner. Hopefully your cramps are of a different nature 🤞

Here's hoping that'd a good sign for you dino

We have lots of nice alcohol related things planned later this month so I'm using that as my consolation. At least I'll be able to go to all those and not have to pretend I'm on antibiotics. Although, I really need to adopt a bit of a healthier lifestyle for this next month. Less food and drink and more moving

Everything is crossed for you secondtime

Brilliant way to look at it Ems gonna take that approach if AF appears for me. On my way out to grab a sneaky test as can't wait till Friday

That’s amazing news secondtime, many congrats xxx really hope it sticks. Sounds like your doctors are looking after you with all those meds expected to keep baby safe....best of luck 👍

Seems like I’ve missed the LH surge, forgot to test this morning. Had a nearly positive last night and then a definite negative this afternoon. It’s early this month and has thrown out our planned dtd. Have only done it once so far due to DH being at work. Now ovia has moved fertile week to end tomorrow rather than Friday. I’m so annoyed 😡

I really went off Ovia for changing my week every month, totally unreliable! I use the fertility friend app now, a bit more complicated and alot less pretty but I would rather have a decent app than it look good. Big hugs babes that's bad news!

I’ve got FF as well so might go back to using that. It has done it to me loads before as well. Luckily we haven’t missed ovulation, just not dtd as much before OV as I’d like to.

@mynameis nothing worse than when you feel you’ve missed the boat. Hopefully all is not lost - my fingers are crossed for you! Xx

June, FF works well for me. Always predicts start of AF to within a day and ov to within a few days....have to use my knowledge of my body a bit too to make sure, but we pretty much hit the right time most months. The more data you get in FF the better the predictions get. Think I’ve got around 22 cycles worth now....!

Ooo might give FF a go, I've just been using Flo, which I find pretty spot on with AF predictions but then again in pretty regular anyway.

Test came back with a BFN, AF is due Friday though so maybe just a bit too early 🤞
