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?

You are similar to me then too @pinkflower
im cd 13. Are u using opk's? Yes im using them, they can be confusing but handy too as thats how I knew when I ov last time.

Brill @coco so glad u got a bit of a line. Wont be long to wait now, only about a week would it if its on time? Im sure it will be here before u know it!

@Scarletrose18 I’m not sure because I don’t know if the 31 day cycle was because of coming off the pill or if my cycle has changed from the usual 28 days. I’ve put 31 in Ovia for now and it’s saying my fertile window begins on 23rd December. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see. Bet you’re lookig forward to going away. Will you be away on Christmas Day? Hace you finished your Christmas shopping? I’ve just been buying some final gifts in and some stocking fillers for ds and think I’m pretty much done. I’m going to shops with dh and ds Christmas shopping next week so I’ll have a look and see if there’s anything I’ve missed.

@Scarletrose18 yeah I'm using opks, are you using strips or the actual tests ?

How long is your cycle normally? Is it the same every month or different ?

@scarlet Yeah it's the blue one :)
I didn't check the stats, I just thought there has to be something better than using the website all the time 😩😩
Yes I don't have anything!
Interestingly though today my heart rate is starting to rise! It dropped from 67 before AF down to 57 and now it's gone to 58 today so if it inclines further I should think that's ov on its way!

@Cocobana its still there - im surprised someone hadn't had it away... not much wind here although it's so cold 👀😫

@Mfbroome good news about your heart rate. I totally want a Fitbit for Christmas but don’t think it can happen this year because we’ve overspent as it is. You’ll have to tell your dh that leaving the tree out is becoming counterproductive because it’s getting spoiled by the wind lol and needs to come in safe!

Another opk another negative lol. Did I ovulate the day after AF!?
How about u @Scarletrose18 xxx

It’s friday yay!! What’s everybody doing this weekend? I got a nother line on opk today, it wasn’t a positive but it was a strong line negative if that makes sense . Hopefully it’s a good sign I’ll ovulate a lot earlier in this cycle than the last one as at the same point last time I didn’t have a line for quite some time.

How have your opks been today ladies?

@Cocobana my one was negative think I've already ovulated

@Cocobana

Ohh I didn't think it was possible to get strong lines that were negative.

Or do you mean a faint positive, as if your coming up to ovulation?

Happy days! With all the darker lines your getting maybe you will be on a 28 day cycle and ov sooner @cocobaba (I hope u do so u dont have as long to wait 🙂) My cycle is normally 28 days. What is your cycle normally?

@pinkflower22 Im using the strips. I got really good ones cheap off amazon. I actually prefer the strips as they are easier to see I think. (Although I opened a stick test and they are identical to the strips except encased in plastic 🤔)

@mfbroome Im still getting negatives too but I (hopefully) expect a positive Sat night/Sunday morning if things go the same as 28 days ago. But things are so unpredictable so I really dont know. Hopefully u get your positive soon too!

Sorry @coco the "my cycle is 28 day etc" was meant to be for @pink Im just chilling with a calmomile tea and some chocolate 😊 Hows your day been?

Did I just confuse things more @coco? 😂😂

I tested again this eve and it was a bit darker but not loads - still negative. We are dtd every other day so will see how the next week pans out 👌🏼🤞🏻
Can't do anymore than that 😂🙈🤷🏼‍♀️

Trees in and up! Finally 😘😂 presents are underneath and it's feeling v festive!
How was everyone's day xx

@Cocobana I know what u mean about a string line negative 😂😂 I'm the same - progression! Lol
I am actually chilling this weekend, doing xmas stuff with the kids and having a lunch on Sunday :)
What about u???

Did u get brazil nuts yet @cocobana

Sounds like a lovely weekend @mfbroome My ovia fertility score says 10 today so im hoping for a positivd opk soon. Glad ur tree made it in safely 🙂

Its pouring down here today and the top temp is to be 5 degrees ❄🌧☔

We are going for breakfast then I have a pass the parcel to make for a kids party of 20.

@Scarletrose18 haha I have brazil nuts but they don’t have chocolate on like yours! Hopefully it means an earlier ovulation and usual cycle length, I’m sure I’m supposed to around cd14. I’m on cd7 now. Oh enjoy your breakfast, sounds lovely. Just a lemsip this morning for me as I woke up with a sore throat and glands up oh no hope it’s short lived! It’s not raining here at min but there’s supposed to be freezing ice later!
@Mfbroome it’s good you’re dtd and your lines getting slightly darker. I’m pleased you know what I mean about the progressing negatives 🤣 we haven’t DTD yet this cycle because ds has been in our bed lots and we’ve both been tired. Dh is recovering from a virus and now it looks like I’m coming down with it! Great you’re tree is indoors now, it’s not the same without one.

We’re supposed to be doing food shop today, Christmas market tomorrow and out for a meal Monday then Christmas shopping. Currently I just want to go back to bed. I’ll get taking the tablets and push through.

Oh guys! I'm ovulating now! But we BD'd two and three days ago. I dunno if we'll get time today. Do you think it's enough?

Hey all! Sorry I've been a bit quiet, the last two days have been crazy busy. I had my works Christmas do last night so I'm currently nursing a mild hangover! I'll have a read and a catch up, hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday so far!

I feel like tour heading for a 28 day cycle this time @cocobana 😊 I have good feelings about December for us all! Aww how rotton that your coming down wuth something 😞 Dont push yourself or you will end up worse! Maybe you could rearrange a few things to give yourself a good rest, some vitamins and lots of protein? (I sound like your mum ha ha sorry) Pretty sure if you eat a square of chocolate for every brazil nut then it will be the same lol. So when do we eat the nuts? Is it on positive opk day?

Did you get a positive opk today @pinkflower? If so u can ovulate 12 or more hours after so even if u could get a chance to dtd tonight and/or tomorrow morning?? Just to be sure.

It is pouring down where I am so heavy, more than I have seen in ages, and it hasnt stopped since early this morning. Is it raining where everyone else is? My opk is darker now so hoping for positive very soon. We have dtd Wed, Thurs and Fri, will do it tonight, sun night and mon night (just to be sure 😂😂) Hoping this wont diminish sperm levels but I feel like this is what we need to do to and I feel I cant leave it a day in between, even if its better to do it every other day.. if that makes sense.

I love my vitamins and I was just thinking.... for everyone whos cycles are not behaving as they should... Vitamin b6 is really good for regulating your cycle. I take one everyday (because it also helps pms and im convinced its the reason my dh survives each month 😂)
And once we get our bfp it also helps with morning sickness too! Its a natural vitamin and you can get it in any health food stores. Google it later if you get a chance.

And another thing I take everyday that I read recently helps increase your CM is omega fish oil tablets (u can get these in sainsburys or asda) I have attached a google seach pic of cm benefuts but u can all google later properly.

I hope noone minds me sharing these things but I really want bfp for us all!! And I think if theres anything that can help us all ttc its good to share it? 💕💜

Not even going to attempt to correct my spelling and grammer 😂🤣😂
