TTC November Baby

[Explorers10]

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?

@Zarara I’m 12 dpo, my last 3-4 cycles tell me I should be due on today but prior to that it was 2 days longer so I guess it could be Saturday! In November I had a chemical pregnancy and since then my cycles have been 2 days shorter for some reason!
I’m thinking I just need to be patient....I keep going to the toilet every 2 mins to check if AF has arrived!! My uterus feels heavy and I’ve been having some mild stretchy cramps for the last few days now - just want to know either way! If AF comes I can have a glass of wine and get back on it in March

@WildFlower2019 thanks, going to have closer look at that website.
I knew it was too early but just couldn't help myself, I don't have another test now so going to wait until af is due now.

Hi ladies

Just jumping on board with your thread!
TTC #2
DD is 5
Cycle #3
CD 18

I had positive opk on CD 16 (Tues), ewcm on cd 17 (wed) do u think I'm 1 or 2 dpo? I have a clockwork 28 cycle.
This month we used conception plus for first time and I'm trying to be more relaxed this month.
We are off to Disneyland Paris next week so the dreaded waiting wont be as bad and I'm not taking any tests with me.
AF is due 4th March. Last month had very light spotting 3 days before af due and had convinced myself it was implantation but not to be.
Anyway ladies I hope you're tww goes in fast and with lots BFPs at the end of it!

Hi can I join?

TTC #2
Cycle 10 actively trying but been TTC since Nov 17 😩(we had an ectopic last jul year)
Age: 34
CD: 6
DD is now 3

Really hoping for Nov baby, DD will be 4 in Nov and already keeps asking why she doesn’t have a brother 😩

Cycles still a bit all over the show and have only been allowed to try again since Jan - it’s already doing my head in!

Currently on pre-conception vitamins, concieve plus, aswahganda(?) fertility herbs (although I’m not good a taking it as it’s disgusting), carries on with my fertility acupuncture throughout ectopic pregnancy (mostly for mental health!) but after tying 6 months I fell in 2 cycles with acupuncture (could be coincidental?!), cheap OPKs and SMEP (roughly!)

Baby dust to all x

@alrwin88

Welcome to the thread! Have a lovely time in Paris! Really hope you can relax and take your mind off TTC. Fingers crossed for a BFP.

@dollydaydreamz

Welcome to the thread! Of course you can join. I’m also 34 and TTC number 2. It’s so hard isn’t it. Good luck for you BFP

Been having some cramps today at 8DPO really low down feels like it's in my uterus area more on the right side like a pulling sensation, AF due on weds, could this be implantation cramps? Has anyone ever had implantation cramps what were they like?

My period is due on the 24th. I did a clear blue test today and it was negative and I've been having some light cramps as though my period is on it's way. I guess this isn't our month. Maybe next time.

Day 5 of flashing smiley and the faintest line on opk so panicking that I won’t ovulate tomorrow and that the acupuncture has messed up my cycle 🙈.

@Chanel06 don't worry. Cycles do this and maybe its just preparing the juiciest egg!

Wrong chanel! @chanel05

@chanel05

I agree with veeboo. The clearblue instructions says you may not get a static smiley face just flashy smiley faces but does not mean you don’t ovulate.

It’s very hard isn’t it to be positive and not be anxious. Any tips by anyone what to do to take mind off worrying?

I emailed the acupuncturist who assured me that acupuncture doesn’t delay an ovulation but in fact I must have ovulated on cd13 she thinks (I attached my chart to send her). So the soy tablets brought forward my ovulation by a few days. However, I’ve been taking evening primrose oil tablets which shouldn’t be taken after ovulation yet now I know I have. Gahhh going mad here. I’m off for the week and this is what free time to sit and think does for you. Please freely tell me to calm the f down 😂. How is everyone doing? Please regale me with your cycle tales!!

Any wise words...?

Okay I need to rant;
My best friend is currently pregnant, she is four weeks ahead of what I would have been if I had not miscarried in Dec.
She messaged me today saying how bored and fed up of pregnancy she is.
REALLY?!

@ale2992 that isn’t very supportive rant away! I would too!!
Hope you are ok! Xx

So AF hasn’t arrived (due yesterday, but could be today or tomorrow potentially!)...one step test was negative yesterday, first response test was negative today. I’m away this weekend and not sure whether I can enjoy a couple of glasses of wine or not?? Should I play it save and not? Surely if I was pregnant the tests would be showing a positive by now? I’m just waiting for AF to rear her ugly head!!

@LJ87 I would totally have the wine. It won't hurt xx

@ale2992 that’s really rubbish, did you say anything back? Very insensitive of her.

@LJ87 I think a couple of glasses will be fine, enjoy yourself and fx af doesn’t arrive.

Stacey Solomon has just posted on her instagram that she’s pregnant with a scan picture. Literally everywhere I look people are getting pregnant except me! Definitely being irrational again today because it’s ridiculous and I don’t know her but yet another baby bomb to remind me that I’m not pregnant.

@Chanel05 no I haven't replied but she'll knew I have read the message as it's in WhatsApp but I just don't know what to say.

@LJ87 I'm similar to you although af isn't due until next weekend.
I'm out tonight and planning on taking it easy with the drinking but I have been told by several people you don't share a bloody supply straight away with baby so it should be fine?

Thanks ladies! I’ll have a couple of glasses and see if AF turns up! Thanks for your replies - I love this group, so supportive

@Chanel05 I totally know what you mean I have lots of friends pregnant at the moment and every month for while we have been trying someone has announced they’re pregnant, it’s so hard but rant away on here to us and just think one day it will be our turn to do the big announcement

@ale2992 it’s a hard one because she may not react well if you say that it wasn’t sensitive to your feelings because then she may feel you’re not supportive of her pregnancy and will feel as though she must censor herself. Personally, I’d ignore the message and let this one go. However, if she does send you messages repeatedly about feeling rubbish then I think you’re more than entitled to say how it’s making you feel.

@LJ87 I’m definitely in the crux of madness at the minute 😂. What cycle are you on?

@LJ87 the fertility expert Prof Robert Winston says you're fine to have the odd glass of wine, he even did an informal study once in his own clinic and found a very slightly higher success rate with IVF when women were given a glass during embryo transfer. I think it was 4%.

Awww @Chanel05 I felt really irrationally angry for a few minutes when I saw that news this morning. I knew she was pregnant, I watch loose women occasionally on my lunch break and I could just tell a few weeks ago. I sound insane now, but I think it was something she said! I thought watch this space for an announcement!

@ale2992 Rant away. My advice is not to reply. Just change the subject in a few hours time. Send her a link to something totally random! Pretend you've been busy if she asks where you were. If she's not daft she'll put 2 and 2 together and realise why you ignored the message.

Trying to work out if I'm 1dpo or 2dpo. First time using clearblue digital opk, temping and fertility friend app. Getting mixed messages!

CD10 - LOW, EWCM
CD11 - HIGH, EWCM
CD12 - HIGH, EWCM, spotting likely from BD.
CD13 - HIGH, watery CM

CD14 - PEAK. I had ovulation pain low down on the right hand side & a tiny bit of spotting consistent with the spotting I had on OV day last 3 months. Watery CM but volume seems to have decreased from here on out.

CD15 - default PEAK reading on Clearblue as it displays for 48 hours and you’re meant to stop testing after your peak reading. Did a cheapie OPK in the afternoon and it wasn’t positive.

CD16 - Cheapie OPK strong but not positive.

FF puts me as being fertile from days 11-16 with Ovulation likely yesterday (day 15) but it can’t be sure due to my temps being all over the place (first month temping and I keep waking up at all hours).

I personally think I ovulated on CD14.

=====

I should do my list again like last month! Tell me when you'll be testing and how many DPO you are and I'll keep a list going so we can see who is next.

I'll be pretend I'm waiting to test at 10dpo on 2nd March. But let's be honest, I'll have the cheapies out at 7dpo on the 27th. Waste of time and money, I know. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Chanel05 only cycle 5 so I appreciate it’s still early days for me still. There have been at least 8 baby announcements amongst my friends in those 5 months. What cycle are you on?

@wildflower it all so bloody confusing isn't it?
I did an opk yest afternoon CD 18 and got positive and got another positive opk today on CD 19!? So that will be 4 days of positive opk. My cycle is 28 so with this late of an ovulation I'm guessing I'll be out this month.

@ale I'm sorry that your friend is being insensitive. That's what we are here for so get it all off your shoulders :)
I completely understand how u all feel ladies. Its like everyone and their granny is pregnant at the minute! My 2 best friends are, my sister in law, next door neighbour and my cousin has just had a baby.

My acupuncturist says to keep hugging the pg ladies; something to do with hormones lol to be fair I'll give anything ago at this stage!
