November has arrived...time for TTC )

[Scarletrose18]

Hello all of you lovely mumsnet peeps! So I have literally just created an account right now.

Just stopped my mini pill. Have a 15 month old son, excited and nervous to try for baby 2! Baby one came after first period from stopping pill which i know was very fortunate but its given my high expectations for this time...which is not a good thing as chances are wont happen that way twice. Trying to be realistic and casual about it.

Anyone else trying for second... or first?

@Mfbroome I was thinking about getting one of those basal temperature monitors as heard they’re more accurate than any other sign. I’m not having a good time with the OPK’s and have gotten a second line today on it despite blank last night. I have no idea if I’ve ovulated and I’ve missed it or when it’s going to happen. Haven’t heard of the heart rate thing, what do you have to monitor that from home?

This is today’s test, still negative but no idea why line deepens and then still no positive

Oh @Cocobana, how fustrating!! When are you due AF?

@Mfbroome thats lovely about your mums wedding! ❤ I hope my little one feels the same when she grows up.

I've not heard about the heart rate thing! How do you test your heart rate? Hopefully it is a good sign for you, fingers crossed!

@cocobana well I use my Fitbit I’ve had it about 18 months and I monitor it a lot as I workout about 5 days a week so I’m used to my resting heart rate being about 58-60 but the last few days sitting on the sofa it’s been about 70+ I can feel it’s beating faster aswell if you know what I mean. But then the more I think about it I think is it my mind 😂😂 if I’m honest I used ovulation sticks with my second for about 2 months and they never worked! I went to the Drs in the end for. Blood test and he said I had just ovulated from the hormones he could detect and then I was pregnant. I hadn’t had AF in ages either. I do think it’s easier said than done, u just don’t know wether or when your going to get a positive result from them?! I think of your DTD enough then u should catch it if u have right?

@PastaSauceHoarder it’s messing with me head as is asigned myself to missed ovulation and blank test then today i get that and I think have I missed it or has it not happened yet. I’m due AF on 7th December so his is supposed to be the TWW time but no idea if I’ve ovulated. How are you today? When is your AF due? Are you in your TWW now too?

Thanks @Mfbroome yeah we’ve been DTD lots and hoping we’ve caught the egg but I’ve just not had any signs of ov at all. I do get regular monthly AF. That’s crazy that you were pregnant and the opks hadn’t worked, it just shows you that all of these signs aren’t necessarily accurate.
Wow you sound super fit, well done you for working out so often. I wish I had that much determination. I’ve wanted a Fitbit for ages, maybe I should put one on my Christmas list! 🎄🎁

I will start to do my body temp next month aswell I think, might as well have an extra thing to obsess over 😂
Anyone else done this also?

my*

@cocobana you so should get one! Inthe fotbit app aswell they have a fertility section -another way to input your cycles lol 🙈
Yeah I try to get to the gym before the house wakes - atleast I get an hour to myself that way!🤣👍🏼

Ladies I think this is something we need to add to our shopping list. Exactly Mfbroome and obsessing is what we do best on here.

@cocobana I think you are doing really well, you have to just wait and see ... easier said than done huh!
When is ur AF due?

This is what I’ve been googling today 😂 very Intresting x

@Mfbroome I so want one? I tried to win one acouple years ago and was unsuccessful so thought I’ll wait for them to go down in price and then buy one and never have. The fertility section is another bonus! That’s great, I bet it is therapeutic in a way having that time to yourself.

Jump back to page 1 for the proper info lol x

Haha god the Fitbit is a great little gadget by the looks of things isn’t it!? Af due 7th December, my cycle is usually 28 days so it’s really strange the opks have been all over the place and I haven’t now has many ov signs. I’ve never tracked it before this month so who knows what normal for me!

haven’t yet had*

You never know u may have done it right without realising! Did u have any ovulation symptoms? I never know it u get the symptoms the days leading up to or on the day?! So confusing x

That Fitbit looks amazing! What a good sign for your heart rate as well (fc) That’s the thing I don’t thing i have had many symptoms of ov. I have had one AF since coming off the pill. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see if af comes on 7th December. I’m not hopeful this month and I’m preparing to try again on December and try and pinpoint my ovulation with not managing to this month, it been so confusing.

it’s*

If theres only 12 days until your period then I'd think you'd already ovulated and just missed the surge when you tested - thats good though, because you're in for a good chance now!

I'm due on the 11th. My app says I can test in 12 days but I think I'd rather wait for my AF. Somehow a period seems less mocking that a BFN, if that makes sense?

Thanks @PastaSauceHoarder I agree, knowing my luck I ovulated during the 4 days we DTD lol it would be typical! I agree and I won’t take any tests until after a missed AF because otherwise like you say it’s just soul destroying and why put ourselves through it!? Looks like we’re all in our TWW now. I haven’t even had any brazils oh well I’m so confused after missing my ovulation that I don’t think it matters anymore. I think I’m going to try relax and take my mind off it and just wait for AF and that way won’t be disappointed. Is everyone having a good weekend? What are you up to today?

Its never too late to chomp down on those brazil nuts!
Yeah I'm trying to do the same, I don't know how I'm going to take my mind off it though. 😕 DH is so positive its going to work this month, I have to tell him to stop! I really don't want to get my hopes up!

We're off Christmas shopping this afternoon, we've got an outlet village practically around the corner from us. How about yourself?

I’ve just been wrapping xmas gifts with the help of two little elves! Trying to take my mind off of googling TWW posts hahaha! Mind you my ds still doesn’t understand they aren’t for him they are for his cousins 😂 hope you are all having a lovely Sunday!
Sounds like december might be a more successful month for us 😂 but my fingers are crossed for u all ladies 🤞🏻👶🏼

@cocobana my AF due 5th so we are roughly the same! I am going to test end of next week because I can’t wait 😂
I had two glasses of wine last week and I feel awful today 😂
