End of November bus 2019

[GalaxyGirl24]

Hi guys,

Starting a thread for those who would be due AF (or hopefully not!) late November 2019.

I am now ruled out of October I think as currently on what I think is AF even though I am 3 days late and did get a squinter on an IC!!! I am devastated as I thought when I was late that was it, I was due a BFP but apparently not. Trying to move forward with it, got a weekend wedding coming up so at least I can have a drink now!

November stats will be:
TTC #1 on Cycle 8
Age 26
Due AF 21.11.19

❤️

Hey! Similar position, cycle 7 but very irregular so it's been nearly a year ttc. AF due 24th Nov
Feeling more positive about this month 🤞

@runnerttc ahhh okay, hopefully we can have some good luck this cycle.

Do you do OPKs and track temp etc? I'm thinking about starting temp tracking as I think I'm missing ovulation days with OPKs...

It's so hard to stay motivated, we started the SMEP method last month and I was so hopeful! Unfortunately this deffo looks like AF I'm on so November here we come 🤞🏽

I've used OPKs once but found it useless as my cycles are so all over the place! I think I'll try again this month though... worth a try I guess! I've thought about temp tracking too but have no idea where to start?!

I still feel fairly new to it all, it's hard to not get caught in a trap of reading too much on the internet and self diagnosing myself with a thousand things or thinking I need to buy another type of supplement!

What's the SMEP method? I'm new on here so dont know all the acronyms 😂

@runnerttc I've never temp tracked before and I'm not sure when to start it or anything but I think you have to do it a couple cycles to get any useful data really and some sort of baseline. I'm hoping I won't have chance to get a baseline - fingers crossed for a BFP next month.

I feel new to it all as well but at the same time so so tired of it all. I think it's quite disillusioning as everyone around me seems to be pregnant!

SMEP is Sperm meets Egg Plan...it's basically just a lot of well timed sex from what I can tell but it was hard work sticking to it. I had thought it'd worked as I got a squinter but must have been chemical this month.

Have you had doctors input about your cycles? When I came off the pill 7 months ago mine were shorter and far too light to be normal for me and I went to GP and I had blood tests and it showed low progesterone...got a fertility clinic appointment next week hoping to get some answers and a plan 🤞🏽

My doctors have been useless to be honest, I came off the pill in December last year and they either blame that or say I run too much- I know it can have an affect on your cycles but I know plenty of runners who run my distances and still have regular cycles. It's all so frustrating. I know exactly what you mean by being tired of it all, I get so fed up feeling like I don't know my own body. Partly why I joined here, figured other peoples experiences and input might help.

Did your doctors recommend anything for low progesterone? I was tested by because I have weird cycles they did it during my period. It came back as low progesterone but then they told me it was unreliable as I would be low during that time of the cycle anyway! 🙄 Good luck with your fertility appointment!

Hello I’ve never posted before but I’ve found these boards pretty helpful since I’ve been TTC. Here’s my stats:

TTC #1 cycle 8
Age: 30
AF due: 21.11.19

I had a chemical pregnancy in March (our first attempt). I did temping for 6mths but It started to make me anxious when my temp didn’t rise, so I stopped and just use OPKs now.

Cycles have been very weird for the past 3 months, no smiley face on OPKs, getting longer, periods lighter but more painful, awful skin and very bloated. However this month I felt different, better, and I got a static smiley on CB OPK on Sunday! Feeling positive this month - the TWW is always difficult though, hoping we can support each other through it!

Hey all.

I am ttc #2
Cycle 4
Age 30

It took 18 months to get my first BFP (now 3 years old) and I had a chemical pregnancy back in March.

My cycles are all over the place but I think I'm due on around 21/11.

This is our first time trying Preseed - has anyone else used it?

Hey ladies!
Cycle 3 of trying for no 2.
Had a mc last month so I’m not feeling terribly hopeful. I did pick up my peak ovulation day but OH hasn’t been overly keen on DTD this time compared to last after the mc, I think it’s effected him worse than he lets on and he’s worried to see me upset again.
But.... I’m sure a BFP would cheer us up!! Haha. I’ll be testing around the 15th... not quite the end of November as the thread says but I hope you guys can keep me company along the way!

Hello ladies 
AF for me is due 15th (@Jomum2020 👋🏼 AF buddy!), hope it's ok to join!

We have been TTC #3 since July. This month have gone for the chilled out approach and not used OPKs, and also not dtd much either 
So maybe a bit too chilled out, but hoping for the best.

@lostfrequencies defo one for Preseed! 🙋🏻‍♀️
Fell on 2nd cycle with it and had my dd. And also caught on 2nd cycle with it this time but sadly didn't stick in Sept. I use about 1/3-1/2 the amount it says to use because I find that's too much and you end up with all over the place!

Potty (ha sorry for that abbreviation!) yes I will have to use less next time... with it being the first time using it today I used the maximum they suggested thinking it would give me the best chance of catching 😂 definitely a mistake!

@lostfrequencies
Haha i made the same mistake
Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

@pottypotamus when do you think you’ll test...

I think im addicted to peeing on sticks! Help! 😂

@Jomum2020
That was me a couple of months ago! Had to tell DH to hide my tests!
There are work drinks next Friday, so I suppose I should test that morning so I know whether I can drink or not if AF not arrived.
When do you think you'll test?

Not going to lie... I just tested there 😂 but yeah I should probably wait now till late next week. I think I’m driving myself crazy, I feel like my boobs are sore and I feel sickly but it must just be wishful thinking.

How is everyone else getting on? I guess if everyone else is testing the end of November you must all be getting ready to get busy this week 😂 sending you all good luck!

What dpo are you @Jomum2020 ?

7 I think.... according to my app. I’m quite aware it was a terrible idea to test at lunchtime 7dpo when I had peed an hour before. I have just become obsessed. After my mc I feel like my body and me have something to prove.
I’m sorry to anyone that’s reading this and has been trying longer or has other problems it probably sounds pathetic :( can’t help how you feel though!

@Jomum2020
It's fine, I know exactly how you feel. I got slightly obsessed after my MMC which was my first ever experience of pregnancy. TTC can do funny things to us.

Hi all,

This bus is better for me if it's ok.

TTC no 2
2 DPO
AF due 18th Nov
Cycle 10

Doctor has referred me to Gynaecologist as she suspects I have Endometriosis so not feeling very positive but I suppose every month we are all in with a chance. Ovulated on CD 17 and DTD CD 14,15,17,18. My LO is 4 today was hoping I would at least be pregnant with number 2 at the stage.

Try hold out until AF is due and not test early as a BFN is worse than AF arriving xxx

Hi everyone,

Wishing good luck to everyone and joining in!

TTC #2
AF due 22nd Nov
Cycle 3

Got a smiley face on CB OPK this morning (first time using an OPK) so DTD...fingers crossed this month is the month!

Hi @Sophieb15
Sorry your going through a tough time, really hope your gynae can offer some help. And you're right you are def in with a chance! Good luck 💕

Hello @Umbreon good luck to you too! Have fun bd-ing 😉

Hey ladies fingers crossed for you all.
@Sophieb15 that’s good the doctor is looking into things for you though! And like you said we all have a chance.

@Umbreon get off mumsnet and get busy lol! Love the smile face on an opk, actually makes it feel like you’re doing something right! X

Hi everyone. Hop you dont mind me joining. Im new to all of this. Came of the pill the start of october after about 7 years. I had a regular 28 day cycle straight away, although AF was a lot lighter than what i was expecting. If this month follows the same pattern AF is due around the 26th. We are not telling anyone we are TTC so its nice to hear from other people in the same boat 😊 good luck to you all!!

Hi ladies! Hope you don't mind me joining.

I'm about to be 30 in the next few days
DH is 31
We're ttc #2 since March
We're both taking Pregnacare Conception (just started this week actually)
And I've been taking Vitex since 3 weeks ago

Anyway! Sending you all lots of baby dust! And fingers crossed it's going to be our lucky cycle! Xx

Hope you’re having a good weekend ladies.

I’m so confused. I tested at what I thought was 5 DPO (on Friday) on a cheapie Boots strip test at got a strong BFP! However I’m being cautious, following a chemical pregnancy in March... things can change 🙁 Friday and Saturday I had an achy pelvis, sore armpits and boobs but when I woke up this morning the symptoms had almost gone completely. When I had my chemical, this is exactly what happened - symptoms vanished and AF arrived 4 days late. I did another test this morning and it was positive but I’m terrified of having another chemical. Surely it’s impossible to have a BFP with standard pregnancy test at 5DPO, that doesn’t make any sense? I must have ovulated earlier, but the OPKs didn’t show it?

I’m going to test every other day for the next week and pray that I don’t start bleeding. Going to be a long week...

What cycle day are you @Dolly5678 ?
5 dpo is early. Is there anyway that your last period wasn't a proper period and implantation?
Congratulations
