TTC journey November

[Martina2311]

Hey everyone! Anyone who would like to join me and share feelings thus cycle? I'm 29, second month of TTC our second baby. All new to this tracking but trying to track my temps and doing OPK. I'm on a CD4. Anyone who would like to join me on the journey? Fingers crossed this is our lucky month! 😍

Hey @Farhana170 so your AF is due today? Any sign yet? I also get sore breasts before AF is due...usually for about a week or so. Might not be the same case with you but if my breasts started hurting later, it always just meant AF was coming later too 🙄 Think my bbs are quite reliable like that. Last month my cycle went crazy and was late by 3 weeks for some reason. Alongside other "symptoms I thought I had, I also didn't feel my bbs as usual. So I felt like its really odd. Until I started feeling them 2 weeks after AF was due...And then it arrived. Still don't know why so delayed but when they started hurting, I knew AF was coming. But it might not be the same case with you. Let us know x

Yh I'm assuming that coz they are hurting later af might be later. But cm has changed today seems like start of spotting maybe... time will only tell...

Hi @Farhana170 any update? X

Ladies does any of you have an experience with the evening primrose oil?

Hi Martina2311 AF showed!! Arrrrrh! Oh well, roll on next month lol

Urgh @Farhana170 sorry to hear that! I hope next month is your month

@Farhana170 aah that's annoying! :/ well...treat yourself to a glass of wine and relax your mind for a bit. Let's keep our fingers crossed for the next month! X

Not quite sure when I O this month though I have a feeling it was Friday. Usualy BD every other day during fertile week but this month just as much as possible! DH is pleased I usually O quite early I think (we BD'd on CD11 & I got my bfp). I'm on cd 14 now. Since I won't be testing for ages I'm hoping for a Christmas bfp! Will be an awkward work Christmas party but well worth it!

How is everyone doing??

Evening ladies. Been a bit quiet on here as I have been waiting for FW. couple of days in and now likely to O on Wednesday/Thursday. DTD every other day for a while, hoping we keep it up the rest of the week!

Cycle 11 WILL be my time! Baby dust to all in this lovely Sunday evening.

I'll be back when I'm going mad during my TWW 😂

Hi ladies. In my fw this week, dtd Friday, Sunday and hopefully Tuesday Wednesday (DH's birthday!!) too! Not sure exactly when I'll ovulate, but never tracked it too much last time either. Hope everyone is getting on ok!

Hi ladies! Nice to hear from you. I guess for the most of us, this is our week! CD15 today, had two almost positive OPK over the weekend but today clear negative again and there was no temp rise so I think I havent ovulated yet. I've noticed some EWCM today, so fingers crossed these days are THE days. 🤩 We BD every 3rd day until now, but will try every other day this week so we dont miss it! Good luck to everyone this week 😍😍

Hi ladies, do you check your cervix during your fertaile window? May I ask at what stage does your cervix usually open and gets soft? I am slightly confused because yesterday I would say it was almost open and today it is definitely open but keep getting negative OPK. I had almost positive opk over the weekend but went back to negative and temps still low. I hope ovulation is around the corner.

@Martina no, I have never checked my cervix, mine is very high up though so not sure I would even reach it!! I'm on cd13 today, not had any positives on opks yet, but 3 days of ewcm and one sided pain down there tonight so I'm going to guess I'm ovulating! I'm not getting too carried away tracking it for now, just enjoying the frequent sex and seeing what happens so I'm going to stay relaxed about it!

Woken up today with much more creamy cm (just what you all want to know at breakfast time!! 😋) so definitly think ov was for me yesterday! So now in the tww!

Oh and we dtd last night so feeling good about that today!

Morning @Bitsandboobs fingers crossed these are good signs then! How long is usually your cycle? I find it tricky to observe my CM the day after we DTD as it always seams watery. I've bought myself the Clear Blue digital ov tests that are supposed to predict up to 4 fertile days but had a negative result this morning. Also noticed EWCM for the last days and have been BD every other day just in case, even tho seams like CB is saying I'm not even in my fertile window yet 🙈 well..I will just keep it up and see if anything comes out of this.

@martina2311 The clear blue sticks are probably better than the cheap ones I have, but I haven't managed to get a positive, I think they are hard to use and definitely no positive doesn't mean you aren't going to ovulate. Keep going trying and see what happens. My normal cycle is between 27 and 29 days, but sometimes randomly shorter and sometimes longer so it's hard to know!

@Bitsandboobs they are supposed to be better as it doesnt only detect the LH surge but also higher estrogen levels before the LH. I ordered them to give it a try because I also find the cheap sticks tricky to use. Seams like a few times in the month I have two lines that are really almost positive so I thought I'd try these, if they are a bit clearer. I know its possible that my body might be getting ready for ov and then not manage and might try again later in the cycle so will just keep tracking and trying. From my temps and feelings, I know for sure that I havent ovulated yet as there was no temp rise yet and I also tend to recognise my luteal phase symptoms almost straight after ovulation. So I know my chances are still there.🤗 It would be so nice if this cycle would work out tho! It's my DH birthday mid December so would be a lovely present 😁

@martina2311 Hopefully you get a smiley face soon and can feel more sure of ovulation. I'm going to just go with it for now and look into testing more thoroughly if it doesn't happen in a few months!

Can I join in too? I'm 34, ttc#2 on the 11month of trying. My periods have been a bit irregular between 31-47, so not sure when ovulating. Am temping for the first time this month- haven't had much luck with OPKs.
Had a wee read of everyone's story- good luck this month!

Hey @Mammy32 welcome! I'm ttc #1 on my 11th month too.

I'm totally pissed off right now as don't think DH is going to be up for DTD tonight, and I'm ovulating tonight/tomorrow. Last did it on Tuesday. Going to miss the peak time :(

Hello @sullywifey it's so frustrating when that happens. Feel like smacking them round the head- "I'm ovulating, just get on with it "

Morning ladies! And welcome @Mammy32 ! 🤗How is everyone feeling and getting on with this week? Are you all passed your ovulation now? I kept BD every other day with no positive opks but finally got my first flashing smiley face on CB this morning. BD last night, tonight I probably can't but will do tomorrow again. I feel a bit of flu symptoms and also noticed a left pelvic pain while BD last night. I had a similar thing on the other side last month during ovulation time, so fingers crossed all this means I am finally close! ❤Does anyone experience this too? Anyways, happy baby making everybody and have a lovely Saturday 🙂

Morning @Martina2311 hope your all good! Yes I am officially 1DPO I always get ovulation pain so know exactly which side it's coming from.

Following my rant on here the other night about DH I just thought, I'm not going to let him win and I eventually charmed him round to some BD. Was very chuffed with myself!

Hate to jinx it already but we really couldn't have done anymore this month to make it happen. So it's just down to Mother Nature now!

I just can't handle the thought of going into cycle 12 😩 but I'm going to try stay positive!!

xx

Hey @SullyWifey well done for charming round your DH and getting what you wanted 😋 Sometimes they just dont get it that we have only a few days that are so important...and once we pass them, thats it. Until I told my DH, he never knew we can actually conceive only on a few days a month. I still wanna let him watch one documentary about how tricky for sperm it actually can be.🤔
I really hope this is your month and its good to know that you've done what you could. Fingers crossed it worked! 😍

My DH starts his work very early in the morning so by the time we can do something when DS goes to sleep, he is often tired. He gets "convinced" really easily but he really is tired every day and "blames me" for keeping him up. I promised him a break after ov 😄
He was actually the one who was always up for a second child, so I told him, if he really wants one, he needs to keep up the good job haha.
