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

Still pos opk here. Temps still low so I'm inclined to think it's real ov on cd 20-something. We've been bding since cd8, DH is knackered!

*bding every other day since cd8

Why is time going so slowly! Im on CD20 but it feels like CD200

Hi all

Can I join please? Good luck to everyone.

I started reading from the front but ran out of time today. @June I am very sorry for your loss and hope it's good news from the tests.

I'm 42.5, TTC #2, this has been my 2/3 cycle (last month cycle was off due to family bereavement but all seems back on track this month so second proper try).

I'm 5 dpo so need to be patient a few more days!

Grrr AF rocked up today so I’m hopping over from the October bus. Last cycle I ovulated on cd19 and had a 33 day cycle so I’ll be here for a while!

Evening all. Can I join please?

Im 37
Cycle 1
DS is 7 months
History of miscarriages (x4) so I am nervous about embarking on this rollercoaster again.

We've DTD twice this month, and hopefully again tonight, but then my partner will be away for work so hopefully that's all we will need!

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!

xx

Welcome all newbies

Well I am happy because I managed to get my hormone checking (day 1 FHS and LH; day 21 progesterone) nurse appointments, on the correct days AND out of school hours so I don’t have to miss work. Phew! Wasn’t actually as difficult as I thought. Now just need to get booked in for a pelvic exam with the gp...

Also glad that we dtd yet again at THE PERFECT times this month, so giving myself the best possible chance.

(The only trouble with being so good at timing is you can’t have the excuse of getting the wrong time, which means the sperm and egg must always meet, which makes you think that something else (and worse) is wrong....)

Good look all for November, which is finally here! X

@MiniMinions yeah I’m secondary too. This is a bitch of a half term (8 weeks) isn’t it?! 😬

Good news @lopez. I had the tests done last month and was good to know. I also got my AMH tested which was useful.

OH don’t, I’ve just found out our years efforts were based on the wrong timings. So now I’m thinking all the bad thoughts!

Good luck with your bloods do let us know the results

Morning all. Did and HPT this morning at 12dpo and actually looked whiter AFTER I had peed on it :(

@mamoffrankie I’m sorry for the bfn this morning. Fingers crossed it’s just too early still. I know the feeling that it seems whiter after than before. Big hugs xx

@mynameisJune thank you for hugs. I was so convinced it was going to be at least a squinter

Hi mumoffrankie- you could of ov later than you expected. Don’t count yourself out too soon, it usually happens when we least expect. If you did ov later it may well be too soon, try and wait until the weekend if you can.

I'm 7dpo and have failed at managing to contain myself any longer and POAS this morning! Unsurprisingly negative. I mixed up my coffee canisters and have just had a huge cup of what my body is telling me is definitely strong caffeinated coffee so if there is a small bean i hope i haven't just poisoned it and killed it off.

@mumoffrankie i am sorry for the BFN but iif implantation can take 6-12 days with 9 as average than 12dpo may just be too early. sending hope and hugs

Can I join please? Hoping for a BFP this month!

I'm 27
Cycle 4
No DC
AF/BFP due 14th Nov

I think I am 1 or 2 dpo. DH and I dtd on CD 10 and 14 and I'm pretty sure I Ov'd yesterday on CD15 as I had the most awful sharp crampy pains on the right side and quite a lot of EWCM last night.

Hopefully we timed it right this month! Now to wait

Good luck to everyone!

.....sorry! Just realised this was TTC #2 thread..duh!

I'll pop on over to the other thread instead.

I’m thinking I may have low progesterone as short luteal phase but long cycle 33days. In feb it will be 12mths of TTC but I did have a mc in June. Do you think the gp would offer to test my hormone levels or just tell me to keep on as I am able to get pg? Going to try Vitex this cycle too.

RhiBee - I read a lot about Vitex online and so gave it a bash... it actually seemed to shorten my short cycles and made me spot 2 days before AF arrived properly (24 day cycle w only 10/ 11 day luteal phase that month). I came off it as my luteal phase is normally at least 12 days I reckon! I know it’s worked for lots of folk but might be worth seeing a proper herbalist before you try? Xx

Rhibee I take AgnusCastus (same thing as vitex I think) and it’s made my 23-24day short LH cycle back to a 28 day OV on day 14 cycle. It’s definitely worth a try, if you’re like me then anything is worth a try.

Also speak to your GP if you find a sympathetic one you may get tested this side of Christmas.

Anyone testing November 10?? I'm 2dpo (ovulated cd21) and bored of the wait already (its been a long cycle already!!!!) so looking for some hand holding to get through this next week...! With DC1 I tested the day of my implantation dip (also had some spotting) and got a faint positive, that was 9dpo. So hoping the same for this cycle, please!

Thanks @MynameisJune and @MissyPG I’ve been researching most of the evening, still conflicted. If I do take it then get pg one school of thought says it can cause mc and to stop taking it another says it prevents mc and to take it until 12wks. Aargh!!!

Hey everyone

9dpo here, no real symptoms so not feeling very hopeful 😔 Only time will tell. Given our track record, it would be too easy to get a BFP now, this will be first af after early mc in Oct.

Definitely not going to test unless af is late.

Hoping to see some BFPs on this thread soon xx

Good work getting the ball rolling on the testing front Lopey.

AF rocked up yesterday as expected, so we’re now onto month 12 and Cycle 14 of ttc. I’ve been out and bought every book on IVF under the sun and am slowly starting to accept that we have secondary infertility and are very unlikely to conceive another child naturally. To be honest, it’s been a real blow as I never imagined we’d end up here. I got pregnant 3 times in the 11 months it took to conceive DS, and that was only 3 years ago.

We have another appointment at the fertility clinic on 16 November to discuss next steps, but I know they will recommend IVF with ICSI. Currently thinking of aiming for egg collection in June which in all likelihood would mean starting the 8 week process in April, but we’ll see... It’s very daunting and feels like a huge amount of money to be gambling on something that might not work.
