If you thought the October bus was early, wait until you see NOVEMBER

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.

Hello! No use with acronyms but welcome and big squishy hug.

I’m just home from a haaard day at work and my 13 month old is trying his very hardest to put be off TTC no2. Jesus fuck parenting is hard work tonight.

Hi @MrsPuffin it's tough on the old emotions isn't it?? I'd really convinced myself that was it. I was a week late. So I don't know when my fertile window is anymore. The thought of ending up obsessing with it all, and tracking and stressing if we dtd like we did with DD1, I do my know if I can handle it again. Maybe I'll just try to forget all about it an if it happen it happens (hahaha that is definitely not going to happen) at least I'll have a buddy to wait it out with. Fingers crossed for your bfp.

AF arrived for me this morning. Can I join. I'm hoping she buggers off quickly as I feel pants.

TTC #4
Came off pill 28/09 so this is cycle 1 officially although I was hoping all the DTD we did in the past few weeks would have helped!

PaintingOwls · 27/10/2018 16:31

Sorry to hear about the AFs floating around Flowers

Welcome frilly

@cheesemumma I'm trying not to obsess this month too much Grin I've been doing opks the last couple of cycles from day 10 which helped narrow down my window but nothing else. Lovely to meet ladies on here who understand the ups and downs of TTC, hope this month is less of a rollercoaster!

KinCat · 28/10/2018 01:33

Hi everyone!

TTC #1
Cycle 4

Just got a positive OPK so I think I'll ovulate tomorrow which is quite good timing as DH is away with work from Tuesday.

I temp and use OPKs and, for what it's worth, don't find it too stressful. I prefer knowing exactly where I am in my cycle and what's going on. I guess everyone stresses about different things though!

PaintingOwls · 29/10/2018 17:14

I had to duck out of celebration drinks tonight and slink off home early so as not to raise suspicions... This better be worth it!

I don't feel any different though, aside from a bit of back pain which could be anything to be fair.

Not to encourage bad behaviour, but is anyone else symptom spotting like mad?

Day 1 of my 2ww 😳

Preparing for some crazy (imaginary) symptom spotting!

Anyone else on their 2ww??

AF due on Nov 11th I think

PaintingOwls · 30/10/2018 10:58

Hi Latte!

I'm halfway through the TWW and last night I felt some light cramping which I'm convinced was implantation. Sitting on my hands current to stop myself poas.

OP posts:
LatteLover12 · 30/10/2018 12:35

Ooh! @paintingowls that sounds promising!

Last 2ww I felt so sick and convinced myself I was pg but I think I just hate progesterone 😂

Good luck!

cheesemumma · 31/10/2018 05:42

@paintingowls when do you test?

Last day of AF today. OH working. Nights so don't know how this is going to go!!

mrsof20118 · 31/10/2018 07:14

@cheesemumma I have demanded to dtd even though my oh is working nights sometimes too or 12 hour days. It's not going to happen by itself!

PaintingOwls · 31/10/2018 08:01

cheesemumma I tested this morning and got a BFN. Not surprising, I suppose but a little disappointing.

Actual test date should be 8th November.

cheesemumma · 31/10/2018 19:00

@mrsof20118 good luck lol. Trouble with us is, we literally pass by. He works 6-6 and i leave at 6 get home at 6 so i have to leave late and rush home when he's on nights. He's 4 on 4 off so hopefully if we dtd on last night and as soon as he finishes we may catch the little blighter (egg). May try some opk even after saying I'll try and be more relaxed.
@paintingowls ah you're still very early. Fingers crossed. Try to stay away from poas till then (total hypocrite, poas EVERY day last month!!!)

PaintingOwls · 01/11/2018 15:23

I know, I know, it's so frustrating, I'm counting down the days. We're on a team day out today and everyone keeps asking me why I'm not having a drink with lunch! Makes me wonder what kind of reputation I've developed Hmm

Cycle 5

Ttc baby number 2, our DD unfortunately passed away in April this year only 5 days old.
Going to start using opks again tomorrow. Fx for some baby dust this month!

Good luck to all, I've been watching everyone's threads so far.

cheesemumma · 02/11/2018 04:56

@paintingowls hahaha. Same thing happened with DD1. We were out and I said no to a drink and someone said 'are you pregnant' I was only about 8 weeks at the time. I had a Bailey's hot chocolate last night and bloody enjoyed it. Better get those in and mulled cider as I TOTALLY will have a bfp by Xmas 😉

cheesemumma · 02/11/2018 04:59

@msrss2018

Hello so sorry about your daughter Flowers I suppose this will be a very difficult time for you. I hope it's as stressless as possible an you have a bundle of love at the end of it all. Lots of baby dust heading your way. Let us know how the opks go. I don't even really know how to use them!!! May get some at Tesco tomorrow to try this month. May help to narrow down the ovulation window.

PaintingOwls · 02/11/2018 18:44

I feel like I'm losing my mind. I tested today after work and thought I could see a faint line which then vanished.

OP posts:
mrsof20118 · 03/11/2018 05:53

Can you test again this morning with fmu @PaintingOwls?

PaintingOwls · 03/11/2018 10:42

BFN Sad official test date should be 7th November but I feel like this doesn't bode well.

OP posts:
cheesemumma · 04/11/2018 08:54

@paintingowls I'm sorry. Hope you get an answer one way or another, it's all the waiting that's the killer.

mrsof20118 · 04/11/2018 11:21

Cd11 and time is dragging probably worse than the 2ww!

cheesemumma · 05/11/2018 20:11

@mrsof20118 im also on cycke day 11. 4 more days till fertile window, though still trying to dtd every other day just incase. I keep meaning to buy some opks but keep forgetting. @paintingbowls any news?
