TTC November Baby

So my AF has arrived today but looking forward to having another go at TTC for a baby in November 2019.

Cycle: 4
Age: 34
CD: 1

Anyone else want to join in the same position as we try to get through this next cycle together?

@ale2992 I see a line in the second and third pics! Fingers crossed this is it for you and the line keeps getting darker. You'll have to keep us posted.

I think I ovulated on CD11 (ewcm, pelvic pains and general hormonal feeling), but still trying to dtd every other day until AF or BFP. Exhausting.

Thinking of trying OPKs next cycle so I better know when I've ovulated. Is it worth trying with internet cheapies or is there no point?

BudgieBird · 27/02/2019 12:36

I'm going mad waiting for my LH surge. Last cycle was 27 days but I never caught a peak fertility reading with the Clearblue. Today is CD14 for me. Been having watery CM past few days. Figured I'd ovulate yesterday or today, but my cheapie OPK strips keep giving me negatives throughout the day and Clearblue was at high fertility again this morning. I know I'm over thinking it but I'm just terrified I'm not going to ovulate! DTD three of the past four days...might as well do it again tonight but it's becoming a bit of a chore!

ale2992 · 27/02/2019 12:39

I was strong this morning and didn't test going to get one after work tonight to test in the morning though.

veeboo · 27/02/2019 14:56

@BudgieBird I have 27-28 day cycles and I ovulate around day 15/16 with a 12 day luteal window so I don't think you need to worry. Hopefully peak comes soon.

I am 10dpo now waiting to see if AF arrives on Sat. No major cramps so far. I had some spotting yesterday but I've also got a water infection so think it might be that rather than implantation. I still don't think I'm going to test unless it's late.

BudgieBird · 27/02/2019 16:27

Cheers @veeboo. I'm going to try to hold back and only use one OPK strip today...

ale2992 · 27/02/2019 17:06

So I caved (again) but why must frers come in packs of two it's just too tempting.
But look! Darker line!!!

veeboo · 27/02/2019 17:33

@BudgieBird there's no harm in doing two if you thi k you're close but I don't normally do more than that in a day.

@ale2992 that's positive! Your hubby will definitely see that. Remind me when your AF is due? Are you going to wait now until late?

ale2992 · 27/02/2019 17:37

@veeboo there's no way he can't see that!
Will probably test again first thing tomorrow and the af should be due Friday

veeboo · 27/02/2019 17:42

@ale2992 congratulations! I don't know how you do it I'd be driving myself mad with all the testing. I went into boots today and didn't buy a frer, I just can't face a negative test!

Peachyx2505 · 27/02/2019 17:42

Eeeek @ale2992 💕💕 congratulations xx

BudgieBird · 27/02/2019 19:14

Another big fat negative on the OPK strip, argh. Hard to not worry something is wrong!

Peachyx2505 · 27/02/2019 19:24

@BudgieBird try not to worry, I know it's easier said then done. It may be that you've not caught your surge? I've read so much about how long it lasts so it could be easy to miss, along with urine being diluted. You may have a longer cycle this month? I don't potentially ov until day 18 and I have 29/30/31 day cycles. CM should be stretchy too just before ov... have you noticed any of this? At the moment I'm testing morning and late afternoon, just to get into the habit.

WildFlower2019 · 27/02/2019 20:54

@Chanel05 phew! that's a more sensible amount. Of course I did a test this morning. Total waste of time, I'm probably only 6/7 dpo. Too early for implantation really, average is 9 days!!! I never learn....!

@ale2992 good line progression!

Hi everyone!

I'm currently on day 33 so a few days late as I was having 28/29 day cycles before.. I was on the pill from sept last year to Jan this year, had withdrawal bleed pretty quick but haven't had my first 'natural' period yet 😩

Nipples have been so sore since sat which is unusual for me..
I have pelvic cramping from my endometriosis.
I usually get really sore boobs and af arrives 5-6 days later.... no clue what's going on, doc things it's the pill but I kinda feel different....getting bloods done Friday to incl hcg....

2020QueenofNaps · 27/02/2019 22:12

I can't face poas tests either!! Good job as I'm sure it's saving me a small fortune 😂

Zarara · 27/02/2019 22:21

Congratulations @ale2992. I’m going to test tomorrow at 9dpo I just don’t have the patience to wait until af is late

Chanel05 · 27/02/2019 23:00

@wildflower2019 when will you test again?

ale2992 · 28/02/2019 07:27

Tested again, Lines still there this morning although it's not darker, hoping this isn't a bad thing as it was only yesterday evening when I last tested.

No static smiley face for me and the last of my clearblue opk sticks. Had 5 days of flashing smiley faces. Not going to buy another packet. Anyone else had the same and no static smiley face?

Hello can i join in??

Paddypaws91 · 28/02/2019 15:17

Congratulations @ale2992 amazing news!

Just felt the need to give a little update. Today I'm 8dpo and feeling so incredibly nauseous and dizzy. I'm at work atm and I've just spent 15 mins with my head between my legs in the toilet. Can hardly concentrate. Also a little crampy so hoping that's a good sign..

I'm not sure if at 8dpo you would experience this level of nausea. Perhaps I'm just ill Confused🤷🏼‍♀️

veeboo · 28/02/2019 15:56

@Explorers10 since I've used those tests I've had between 0 and 6 days of flashing smiley. Maybe just keep dtd every other day for a bit longer?

pitterpatterbaby · 28/02/2019 16:14

Cd 9 for me cycle 3 and 1 cp so far.

@veeboo

Thank you for your reply, it’s so frustrating as don’t know if I have or haven’t ovulated! I am checking my temperature too but not risen high either. I’m on CD19 now
