AF arrived this morning FIVE DAYS LATE so I've decided to start an unreasonably early November bus.

There's a chance I could conceive in October but the TWW will fall into November.

So here we go:
TTC: #1
Cycle: 2
Age: 26

My cycles tend to be 28 days but this one was 33, which is going to mess around with my app, no doubt.

Best of luck to all of us!

Hi Ladies!

Would love to jump aboard too Smile

Mirena removed last week mid cycle. Always had regular periods and signs of ovulating, but now it's out who knows what will happen!

Technically currently in TWW, but pretty much zero chance of a BFP this month, so if everything continues as normal, November will be...

TTC#1
Cycle: 1
Age: 30
Typical cycle length: 26-28 days

Have been debating whether to try OPKs to see whether I'm definitely ovulating, but as it's really early days also trying hard to relax about it all Smile good luck everyone x

ronniemipperton · 14/10/2018 07:24

Hi all, going to lurk here as I am stuck in an anovulatory cycle...

TTC: 1
Cycle: lost count (about three years in total, one year of ovulating vaguely regularly, but MMC at 10 weeks this July)
Age: 33

Good luck everyone Smile

peaches19 · 14/10/2018 09:17

I’ll hop on too!

TTC #2
Cycle: 2
Age: 32
AF due: 4 November

I thought we’d hit the timing pretty well last month so was super disappointed. We conceived #1 on the second try (v lucky) so I’m feeling a lot of pressure on this month!

Marshmallow1992 · 14/10/2018 09:38

I’ll hop on!

TTC: #1
Cycle: #4
Age: 26
AF due 3 November.

Should be ovulating next weekend!
Last month used conceive plus and was disappointed as I heard so many success stories around this first time using it! Will use again this month and also got fertility smart capsules this month. Good luck to all of us!

NicolaG12 · 14/10/2018 10:24

Hi, hope it’s ok to join?

TTC #1 (Mc 14 September at 9 weeks)
Cycle 1 (af arrived yesterday, first since mc)
Age 32

Fingers crossed this is a good month for everyone xx

PaintingOwls · 16/10/2018 10:35

Hi everyone, nice to have you aboard!

According to my calendar I'll ovulate next Wednesday so we're going to get started this weekend. It feels weird to schedule this stuff in, it feels like a military operation Confused

Nell90x · 16/10/2018 20:18

I know what you mean @PaintingOwls 😂 I trying to explain all of this to my hubby last cycle and he was so surprised by how small the window each month actually is!
My Ovia app is suggesting I'm not due to ovulate until Fri 16th but that seems a bit late for me! Going to use OPKs just to keep track.

cheesemumma · 18/10/2018 06:19

The most frustrating thing about this is all the waiting. I'm such a control freak so just having to sit around and wait is very annoying. I use to track etc when TTC #1, but the month we fell pregnant was the month I forgot about that and we just had sex every other day, then went out to parties had a few drinks etc. So I'm TRYING not to be so neurotic about it all!! (Never going to happen) already looking at the ovia app all the time!!

Tartanwallpaper · 18/10/2018 10:52

I have literally posted about TTC in January 😂

PaintingOwls · 18/10/2018 15:23

Tartanwallpaper oh jeez, when we agreed this summer to start trying in October I went militant with our diets and alcohol consumption and made DP stop vaping!

If you don't mind me asking, are you waiting until January because of the school situation?

OP posts:
Tartanwallpaper · 18/10/2018 19:56

Painting Owls no I'm not, it's a case of waiting til after Christmas as to not arouse suspicion with various Christmas parties haha. One my my dcs summer born though and it's been hard reminding teachers but we seem to getting past that stage so it's sort of an added extra. If I am still trying this time next year though I won't skip those months

ButtermilkNebula · 18/10/2018 22:49

Hello, joining please

TTC 2
Cycle 1

AF due Nov 3

It took me just under a year to fall pregnant with DC1 and I'm also still breastfeeding so I'm not holding my breath, but hopeful :) not doing opks or temping, just seeing what happens. wishing good luck to everyone. fingers crossed.

Nell90x · 20/10/2018 09:03

CD 12, day two of flashing smileys with cb OPKs and off work for a week. Fingers crossed, perfect timing to feel relaxed and catch up on some sleep before ov!

cheesemumma · 21/10/2018 20:22

AF still hasn't turned up for me. I thought I was due around now. Hadn't really been tracking as we weren't planning on TTC until Xmas. But stopped using contraception late this month, but thought I'd missed the bus. Just poas but bfn. Though it is 8.30pm, but dh is out and couldn't resist. I wish period would just arrive so we could start getting on with TTC in November!!

Whatdoingmummy · 21/10/2018 21:58

Hope it's ok to hop on :)

TTC Number 2 (DD is 8).
Cycle 29 (ugghhh)
Age 25
AF due on the 5th Nov

I'm going to my fertility blood tests this month & have no idea what to expect!

Hopefully we all get BFP's this month 😍

PaintingOwls · 21/10/2018 22:28

Ahhh that's so frustrating cheesemumma I've had a few incidents where AF was late and I was convinced that I was pregnant and tested only for AF to turn to a few hours later.

Sorry to hear that Whatdoingmummy that's about 3 years, right? Is this your first fertility investigation? Do you think it might be DP with the issues as you've already got one DC?
