So, I'll be an Early November tester

My period started on Thursday and has petered out today. I think I'm due to ovulate on cd15 or 16, meaning AF is due November 1st. Anyone else??

This will be my first month properly TTC, using BBT and OPKs, but the general plan is just to BD as much as possible! Haha! Good luck to anyone else x

Hi VJones1985! I'm due 12th November and am just waiting for my October AF after a BFN today. September was our first month TTC and I'm feeling way more emotional than I thought!

Good luck to you and hopefully November will be our month!

Aw, I know what you mean. It only took me 3 months to fall pregnant with my son but I was really upset the first two months because I couldn't understand what had gone 'wrong'. Basically, it's all just down to luck though.

Will be BD every two days until my fertile window, when it'll be every day. My husband knows what he's letting himself in for 😂

Is AF due today?

It's so hard/silly isn't it! Even though I knew our odds of conceiving first cycle were so low, I still feel really down. Hubby has been lovely though, so just trying to stay positive.

AF is due on Wednesday unfortunately!

Haha, great that your husband knows what he's letting himself in for!

Still a chance for you then, possibly. He remembers what I was like the first time round!

I'm due AF 31st Oct -1st Nov usually ovulate cd 17-18 x

ClarrieWhite · 09/10/2017 16:39

Haha, glad he's all aboard the making a bay train!

Yeah, I guess, but I had horrible cramps all of yesterday so I really do think AF is about to rear her ugly head. Not long to wait and see though I suppose!

@Stee1 Hello!

@ClarrieWhite Yeah, I guess that's the 'beauty' of charting BBT - you can see from the dramatic temp drop that AF is coming that day

Hello @AJ89 and @Stee1! Baby dust to you both!

mintoreo · 09/10/2017 20:19

Yes! AF started today for the first time since stopping the pill. This will be the 1st cycle properly TTC. Next due the 6th Nov (if body behaves itself!) so will be joining you in November testing! Good luck everyone!

Hi @mintoreo, this will be our first proper month TTC as well

My AF is due 2nd of November... So another November early tester here!

We unofficially TTC the last two months... But OH wanted to wait until October to officially start... Thought we would catch straight away... Told him we probably wouldn't so here we are officially on cycle one. Just using apps to track things ATM.

Good luck ladies.

ClarrieWhite · 14/10/2017 10:05

I got myself a little excited as AF was a few days late, was going to test again this morning, but she arrived over night!
But, has made me realise that there is just no point symptom spotting or testing early; so hopefully at least I'll be less crazy this month!

MamOfFrankie · 25/10/2017 22:00

My AF is due 05.11, but I am going to try not to test until AF is late (yeah right!). Cycle 3 this time and need a distraction as last two were horrible.

Owlpatrol · 25/10/2017 22:18

I'm due 6th Nov ovulated on Saturday or Sunday good luck ladies xx

BandhaAid · 26/10/2017 10:31

So I'm 5dpo and AF due November 1st. My luteal phase is only 10 days so I have my fingers tightly crossed.

The TWW is crap, isn't it. Jenga, anyone???

ClarrieWhite · 26/10/2017 11:02

That's what I've said to myself too MamOfFrankie - last month i tested way too much so going to try and not unless my period is late!

BandhaAid the 2ww is horrible - try and distract yourself as much as possible!

BandhaAid · 26/10/2017 12:56

I'm much now relaxed than I thought I'd be but that hasn't stopped me thinking about it. I think we all subconsciously symptom spot, no matter how hard we try. Will definitely try to distract myself though 😵

MamOfFrankie · 28/10/2017 20:50

How's everyone getting on? 6dpo now, and not been too crazy so far! Tempted to start doing BBT or use OPKs if I have no luck this month.

Owlpatrol · 29/10/2017 22:41

I'm going nuts @MamOfFrankie here's where I'm at-
1dpo when I thought ovulation bleeding
2-5dpo sore boobs lower cramps not sure why
6-7 dpo same as above but felt some tiredness
8dpo today pains have eased slightly
Trying not to test till Tuesday! X

MamOfFrankie · 30/10/2017 18:59

I am 8dpo now - ordered some tests Amazon, but opted to get them delivered on Saturday so I am not tempted to do them early. Feeling frustrated now though!

You'll have to let us know how you get on.
