End of November, jump on board!

[Skygirl1983]

Moving on from the October threads, join in those that will be testing at the end of November. (Which also happens to be my birthday!)

I wouldn't worry if they a consistently long. I'd be more concerned if they were erratic. Short then long. I'm tracking to make conception easier but also incase it doesn't happen I can at least have all the stats there to take to the docs down the line. I have definitely learnt a lot more about my cycles since tracking though which is good.

Hey everyone. Watching this thread and keeping fingers crossed for us all! Baby dust all round. So hoping this is our month🥰. Cycle 3 TTC after MMC this summer.

@HugeAgeGap welcome, nice to see you here. Dont feel bad. We have discussed earlier in the thread about changing our tactics this month! Is there anything different you can do to help things?

@HappyMouse welcome and baby dust to you too :)

@Skygirl1983 yeah they are expensive but the cheaper sticks work pretty much the same ways anyways. And I'm going to be doing the same thing with the preseed. The lengths we are going too haha.

@xoJellyBean you're definitely not broken. You are ovulating on each cycle right?

@HugeAgeGap don't worry it'll happen for you soon, I know it's tough. We are all here to help each other so lean on us and ask for advice when you need too

Hi everyone.

TTC #1 for around 16 months
Currently on CD5
Had all tests done and everything's come back fine, so it's a waiting game.

We are taking lots of vitamins, both completely cutting alcohol, eating better and I'm trying to move around more to help with liking as I only have a 1-2 day bleed.

Also hoping to get a BFP end of November in time for my birthday. Fingers crossed to us all!

Xxx

@Maisy24 good luck Maisy!! This would be the perfect birthday present :)

Hi @Maisy24 when is your birthday? Mine is the 29th Nov. My AF according to my app should be due around 28th! So I really hope it doesn't arrive. I'm going all out this month the make this happen!

@Skygirl1983 I'm planning to have a smoothie very morning with all the key ingredients to aid fertility. Literally doing everything I can. Lol

Is anyone else worried about being too fat? I just checked my BMI and got a shock!🤭

Yep! I eat sensible and exercise and apparently I'm obese! I'm an obese size 14!

@xoJellyBean I wouldn't go by BMI. Just eat well and work out. End of the day as long as you feel good and you are healthy that's all that matters. I'm 5 foot and size 8 and I'm overweight apparently lol.

Jumping on the November bus ladies as af turned up yesterday. First one since MMC and only took 18 days so trying to be happy that at least my body seems to be getting back to normal. Also pleased that I've got 2 more cycles before the end of the year!

@Mystie welcome, I started yesterday too. Hope this month works out for us

Thanks @mellymoo86 baby dust for all of us in November!

Thanks girls!

Am also tracking on Clue and Flo. Although both give me different dates for ov, so I don't trust either. I'm using the cheapie opk sticks and tracking temp, both together feels like it gives me a pretty accurate window. But somehow still going wrong!

We don't dtd enough, that's for sure. But OH is often stressed and doesn't like the pressure, just likes the "it'll happen when it happens" approach. He's 42, I'm 34, this is #2 after 10 year gap!

@HugeAgeGap yeah I can understand it can be a stressful time. From what I've seen online even twice a week is fine as long as the timing is correct.

Evening all!
Jumping on this post please....
TTC #1 - came off mini pill 2 weeks ago, AF symptoms a few days later but they came and went. Tracking ovulation using OPKs (not had a period for 5 years so I'm getting to know my body again after no break contraception!) although slightly confused with the results. Any advise would be great.... just waiting for AF to arrive I guess. I did have a strange sensation in my left hand side earlier today but nothing since!

@FutureMrsSmith to me it looks like CD 15 was a peak

Thanks @Lizziedu49. We DTD CD15 but OH was working last night (he sleeps over at work 2 nights a week!) He's home tonight luckily. He's away with work for a week from Saturday so I was worried I'd peak whilst he was away but hopefully it's timed right. It's probably not CD15 I just had to enter the first day of stopping the pill as CD1 to allow me to track. Who knows!!

I'm so happy! My AF had arrived!! Which means I can now focus fully on this news month. CD1! Woop! I'm going to treat myself to a sugar in my tea and a breakfast muffin at work this morning! Haha

@Skygirl1983 haha why not! I treated myself to baklava I bought from turkey yesterday! It was SO good!!! 😂

@mellymoo86 @Skygirl1983 my healthy eating has totally gone to pot since my MMC have literally spent the last 3 weeks 'treating myself' which felt good at the time and was definitely needed. Thought I was back on track last week then bloody af turns up and I'm head first in the biscuit tin again 😣 and half term/Halloween week doesn't help either!

@Mystie it's tough! Sorry about your mmc. I'm taking today as a fresh start. New cycle, new outlook!! However I'm in the office on my own and boredom is already taking over!!

Also, just ordered my goodies from Amazon! Should be here by Friday :)
