November bus

[Chanel05]

Anyone else?
CD1 for me.
Cycle 4
Ttc #1

@KinCat funny you say that, I was wondering that too 😄

Hi ladies,

So I’m on cd 11 awaiting O in the next few days. I’ve been reading up about using cough syrup to help thin out cm. I have a lot of ewcm so going to try the syrup this cycle to see if it helps get those swimmers up there lol!! Has anyone else used it before? I’ve bought Wilko’s own brand mucus cough syrup with the only active ingredient being Guaifenesin 100mg.

GL to everyone on the nov bus xx

Does anyone get a pattern with the OPKs or is the 2nd line just random?

Negative?

@loveshinealight definitely negative. The lines need to be at least as dark as each other.

Totally negative opks here again today. The line was reasonably dark on cd 12 so and given the spotting yesterday I reckon if I did ovulate it was then and I just missed testing. I haven't temped which would obv make things clearer but my kids are ridiculous sleepers so I'm not sure how accurate they would be as I'm up most nights.

Hi, can I join? Cycle 4, ttc #2.
I am using opks this month - that second line is a mystery to me. Mine seems to be fading - it was strongest the day after AF finished (but not positive) and now can hardly see it. By dates so far I should be ovulating at the end of next week so shall see what happens! Good luck to all!

@KatnissK I had one OPK that was nearly positive just after AF, then it faded to nothing, and then now on CD17 it's coming back again. I think I'll get a positive OPK tomorrow. I guess there must just be loads of hormones floating about after AF, to make it nearly positive? I'm sure yours will get stronger again by next week like mine has.

I have decided to skip this cycle after the mc I had last month. Still tracking with OPKs and BBT, just because it think it's helpful to know these things going forward, and if the mc messes up my cycle then I'd rather know. AF due on November 2nd. Long cycles, so I'll probably just hop on the December bus when it arrives. 🤞🏻 for everyone on the bus still!

I'm now on CD15. Lots of EWCM but another negative OPK 🤷‍♀️

Hello lovely ladies! Hopping on.
TTC no. 2
Cycle 10 (have had 2 early MCs and husband works abroad for half the month)
AF due on 31st Oct - so basically November!
Currently either 2 or 3 dpo- used clearblue advanced OPKs this month and they went straight from low fertility to peak (positive).. strange! How’s everyone? I’m a POAS addict so determined to not even buy any until 10dpo 😂

Hello my lovelies.

Cycle 2
CD2
AF due Nov 15th

CD 8 for me, dtd every other day this month see how that goes! Fingers crossed everyone!!

TWW begins over here. But still hoping to DTD couple more times just in case of late ov. Going to try keep really busy to distract myself.

Almost positive opk this morning, starting to cramp and Getting more and more Ewcm and it’s a lot thinner than the last few months thanks to Guaifenesin!!

U know ur going crazy when u start drinking cough syrup to help conceive 🙈🤣

Trying to follow the smep but from now we’re going to dtd everyday till I know I’m way out of “o” time!!

Also considering taking vitamin D supplements 🤔

@libilu28 does Vit D help with TTC? I take it normally but didn’t know it could help!

@Tefiti2 I’ve only researched it a little but I have found that it is linked to a higher percentage of pregnancies! It does say it’s inconclusive but every little helps ay?? Xx

Hi all 😊

TTC #1
Cycle 2
CD 12

Second day of flashing smilies using CB digital OPKs.

@Lubilu28 I'm not far behind you with the crazy.
I'm taking soooo many supplements now. Drinking herbal tea. Force feeding myself pineapple. Hugging a hot water bottle every night 😂
All I gotta do now is hope I use my Pom's at the right time and that DH is not on nights!!

Morning all, may I jump on here from the October bus?
TTC #3
Cycle 3
CD1

Morning everyone, please can I join.

TTC #1
29
Cycle 4
CD3

I should be ovulating early this week coming but not using opks this cycle to avoid additional stress. Still temping. I never thought before that I was stressing by using opks but actually feel so much more relaxed this cycle that I must have been convincing myself that I wasn’t stressed when I really was 🙈. Dtd every other day until Friday.

@Chanel05
Exactly what I was doing!! I took the last month off completely. I usually ovulate around cd14/15 either way so just estimated it.
It's really helped me set my mind straight and relax.
I'm now taking additional vitamins and having acupuncture. I think it's too late to make a difference this cycle, but hoping it might help next month 🤷🏻‍♀️
I have 5 super cheap opk's this month, as opposed to the monitor and smiley faces ect, which I was using from cd6 to after ovulation 🙄

Give yourself a break. Mentally and physically. Xxx

Morning all.

Fingers crossed for this month everyone trying x

@Wishful30 anything that may help ay haha 🤣 well I’m on “O” day today and I’ve read that too much vigorous exercise around this time can effect conception, so I’m skipping my class for a night in on the sofa with me feet up on the sofa 😊 🤞🏻 For all of us on this November bus!! Xxx

Finally got my result from the fertility clinic. It's only taken them 2 weeks to send me 6 A4 pages. 😡🙄

Sorry for such a long post!!

So, I put the IUI on hold as I'm just not convinced they're doing things right. Having seen a different doctor, who sparked off some questions in my head, I decided to postpone the third IUI until I can find out more.

Having had chemical Pg's I'm just not convinced I need all the extra hormones.
I definitely ovulate. Yet they still requested I trigger.
I argued the toss about low progesterone, so they have me 400mg twice a day. Which is a huge amount. But failed to tell me a blood test previous had clearly proved I didn't need progesterone.... 🤔

They want me on daily injections before trigger injection and then progesterone.

My follicles before the IUI's look like they're around 18mm which I think is good.

My main focus is the thin uterine lining. Which I queried as I was sent for an IUI at 5.6 when i have since found out it should be over 7.
So looking into that more as the one before was 6.3 😐

Anyway... I have noticed that my dye test within my uterus showed pitting.
Not one person mentioned this to me. Part of the reason to request all my info was because a different dr told me my uterine lining was uneven and not linear..
still have had no explanation what could be the cause, or if it's even an issue.

Taking all the notes to my acupuncturist who mentioned she feels I need to increase the blood flow to my uterus. Which reading up on uterine pitting, tells me that could be a reason it's not even.

Really unhappy with the fertility clinic!!
