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

36 years young. My AF due 17th so will be poas next week. Had day 21 tests done yesterday as no opk's showing positive for 6 months but ttc for around 8 months. We have been dtd pretty much every other night this month so who knows! Xxx

Forgot to mention try #2 DD is now 10! She's an August born and love her birthdays in the big holidays. I feel like I'm starting from scratch though as its been so long I can't actually remember what I went through early pregnancy as i didnt know until 10 weeks, she wasn't exactly planned but I was 26 and we were really happy. I have no idea why we have waited so many years but at least DD can enjoy the process with us (or not in my case) and I know she will be an amazing big sister as she's asked Santa every year as far back as i can remember for a baby sibling. Hopefully this year her wish will come true although we havent told her anything about us trying. GL to everyone who's yet to poas this month! Xxx

Anyone got a bfp or af yet? Some BFP stories would be nice on here x

Oops, just realised I posted the same thing twice... Didn't see that the thread had gone onto a new page.

Hi funkyemzie! Fingers crossed for you this month x

Thanks hun same to you! I've posted twice too but can't delete?

I'll be due to poas probably Tuesday, 12dpo. Af due Thursday.

Grrrrrrr, don’t know why but I tested today and got bfn. 12 dpo of a 12 day luteal phase so pretty conclusive. Usually I just wait for af to show.... wish I had!

Stark white single line. I had been quite hopeful this month too.....lots of bd, positive opk, perfect timing, not too stressed, ewcm, etc etc.....but then I mostly do have those things going for me?! So this month is no different from any other.

Not sure what it is that is NOT happening here but it’s so so frustrating. Watching DS playing alone in the garden this afternoon, he looked so lonely. His talking is coming on leaps and bounds at the moment....so no doubt he will be asking for a brother or sister soon, as others have mentioned their DC doing. God, that really will break my heart....

Onto cycle 10 😥. See you on the December thread.....! (Or hope not to; hopefully some others will get lucky!) And the December thread will mark 6 months of being on these threads....since July! Depressing.... (no offence...!)

Please please please someone get a bfp and cheer me up!!!! X

I'm not expecting a BFP tbh, I'm awaiting results for day 21 tests so should get those back this week too as over 34.5 years and being try for approx 8 cycles. Already getting AF signs, terrible back ache this morning although seems to have disappeared now. Xx

It's really hard when she asks for a brother or sister but fingers crossed! Big hugs to you hun, sending you luck for December LopeyLopez! Xxx

Sorry for the bfn lopey it’s so tough, I wish there was something I could say to make it better. We had another friend announce a pregnancy yesterday.

All I can think is that the babies I know born the last few months will be a year old if we conceive this month. I can’t seem to get over the age gap issue.

Oh guys, what shitty times! I'm trying desperately to stay positive and hopefully these bloods will shed some light.

Sending enormous hugs your way Lopey. BFNs are so tough to handle. Do look after yourself my lovely. After 13 cycles of bright white pregnancy tests, I know how unbelievably frustrating it is to move mountains to time dtd to perfection only to be greeted by AF two weeks later. I shall be keeping everything crossed that you get that elusive BFP very very soon.

Sorry to hear you’ve had to endure another pregnancy announcement Mynameis. It’s so very tough, particularly after a loss.

I’m en route home after a brilliant girly weekend with two of my besties. I got my first positive opk yesterday, although I’m fairly sure I still havdn’t ov’d so all is not yet lost, albeit that this month’s timings won’t have been perfect (but as this is Cycle 14, I doubt we’d be in with much of a shot even if we did time it perfectly)

Thanks folks; it really does make a difference to me to have this group for support. I feel better knowing someone is listening and understands.

Funky, I have my bloods coming up too (first test, day 1 blood) tomorrow. So at least we are being proactive and trying to fix this and be a bit practical about it.

In my heart tonight I really just want to cry though....finding it really hard to keep things together at home in front of DS. I do love him so much. Why can’t that be enough? Trying for another baby is taking its emotional toll and I already have my lovely boy....

Oh and cariad you must jump on your dh asap!! cycle 14 or not, don’t give up just yet...you never know... good luck x

Lopez, it's one of those things that you just can't help. It's like an empty space, I totally get how you feeling! I think too that because DD is getting older, ive loved watching her grow into a beautiful young lady but I also miss my little 2 year old and I'm really feeling selfish by wanting that back again! We're only human beaut and thank you, you're defo not alone!

Hope you don't all mind me joining this thread, TTC #2 and this is only cycle no. 3!

Just want to say @LopeyLopez don't feel guilty at all okay for wanting another one! Sure you love your DS and you're obviously grateful for him but you're allowed to want another and your wait for that is going to be emotional. Sending you so much love and hugs xx

Hi everyone

Really sorry to hear about the BFN, Lopez. I have woken to the same this morning after having dreams of BFP's. It seems to be all I think about. I keep thinking I see a line hen I hold it above the light and there is really nothing there. At all. AF due Weds so not out yet but the really white window is leaving me a bit more discouraged this morning than yesterday.

Anyone have any experience of recording cheapie tests? I want to just more FRER's but have wasted so much money already, it seems daft. Are the cheapies really so bad?

Funky - excuse my naivety but what are 21 day bloods?

Cariad - fingers crossed this is your month!

Hi Dino - when is AF due for you?

Tesco** not recording

@Ems1986 ASDA £1 test picked up #1 day before AF due to visit. Should imagine Tesco be the same. They do all calm to be 99.9% accurate

Sorry to hear you had not the greatest dreams last night too. Fingers crossed you'll get BFP though.

AF due Friday, hopefully won't appear though

Claim* not calm

BFN this morning guys. 21 day bloods are for if ovulation isn't being picked up in all the usual ways and so registers how much progesterone is being produced and is supposed to be strongest at day 21 or 7 days before AF is due. Will have those results this week. Gutted again.

Funky, sorry to hear of your BFN ☹

How the shitting hell do people get pregnant by accident?!

Ems, our first wasn't exactly planned which is why it's coming as a shock at how long it's starting to take with #2
