TTC November Bus

Hi loves,
I'm out of the game for the Oct bus so I thought I'd kick off November bus early so people can join if AF rears her ugly head.
Brief summary of me - TTC since Jan, mc in Sept, just finished first period after d&c and ready to get pregnant already!
I've got a 4yr old ds and really hoped to be pregnant right now so pretty fed up with the whole process but trying to keep positive. IT WILL HAPPEN.
Sending baby dust to everyone! Summer babes for us all round Smile

@MgW1 all you can do is just wait and see, but I wouldn't lose the faith just yet. Xx

[quote Cienega]@DJmum83 haha we must be bonkers. Oh wow fingers crossed for everything!! Im only 4dpo and i want to test already! I didn't realise id be so bad at waiting!! I bought a two pack of FRER today so i might ask himself to hide them until closer to the time lol[/quote]
@Cienega we are definitely mad. I have 2 frer and a couple cheapies but have them under the sink. I'm not testing till 13/14 dpo well I'm going to try lol.
How were your pregnancies? Mine all went well but all were Csections so that's a worry having 4th section but after my last he said everything went fine and I was ok to go for a fourth.
Xx

@MgW1 I hope I’m the spotting stops and the line progresses for you. Maybe give your doctors a call. When I started bleeding they did my bloods Friday and Monday to check if hcg was doubling. Unfortunately it was dropping but at least I knew for certain it was coming. That was at 5-6 weeks though. Please try not to worry to much (easier said then done I know) keep us updated ❤️❤️❤️ .

It appears AF has arrived for me this evening. Quite upset but not getting off the November bus completely as cycles are on the shorter side so depending on O date will be testing again either end of November or very beginning of December. Good luck everyone!! X

Been lurking for a while due to work so haven't posted. Massive congrats to those who have BFPs! November is definitely looking good!

I've entered the dreaded 2ww after saying I wouldn't track. Got my rescheduled bloods again this month too. DH is still no further forward with going private for his tests as the both the private clinic and nhs gp are arguing over who refers 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ it's like dealing with children.
I'm not feeling positive this month as have only dtd twice. I'm also suffering from quite a few sports related injuries so definitely not feeling myself which is a pain. Add a bit of a sickness bug on top and I'm doing well 😂

Thanks for the welcome Smile

It is so lovely to hear good news, it really does left your hopes. Equally feel better knowing I'm not the only one thinking about this stuff a lot.

So I have a question, it's my first time using the OPK (Clear blue Digital) and it showed my ovulation peak to be later than the Flo app predicted, when I inputted it, the app then moved my period due date back by about 5 days. So... when will my period actually come? As originally predicted or later? If later that is very odd for me as I'm always regular (27 day cycle).

Anyone got any thoughts?
Thank you 😊

@MaryLola congratulations!!! I’m cd17 had a temp dip cd13.

@Cienega thanks, that’s good to know I’m not the only one with faint lines!! X

SunnydazeQ · 05/11/2020 20:40

@MaryLola wow such a lovely surprise!! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

SunnydazeQ · 05/11/2020 20:43

@MgW1 hang in there and hoping that the spotting stops. Fingers crossed for you that your lines get darker and it's a sticky bean. Sending virtual hugs x

MamaPheebz · 05/11/2020 21:06

@MgW1 i went through the same thing last month and had an early pregnancy loss.
If you call your doctors they will do a blood test to check your hcg levels. They will do them again in a couple of days to check if they are rising or falling. I’m really sorry you are going through this and do hope it is just normal implantation bleeding. Xx

MaryLola · 05/11/2020 21:58

@MgW1 have everything crossed for you 🤞

MgW1 · 05/11/2020 22:03

@MamaPheebz
Its very light and still got a faint positive , same as this morning and yesterday afternoon so will see what happens x

Liloulou · 05/11/2020 22:12

Hopping over to the Nov bus. Started TTC for first time ever last month. I think AF has just arrived, but it seems a brighter lighter red than normal. Have others suggested that might be implantation? So new to all this so I don't really know. All BFNs up to now but haven't tested today. Might wait until morning, will probs know if it's AF by then anyway. Feeling fine about it all though, still very early for us so just trying to take it easy and see what happens.

MamaPheebz · 05/11/2020 22:41

@MgW1
Fingers crossed for you.

I’d still give them a call. I did it mainly so if I lost it, then it would be on record as you can’t get any tests done until you have 3 losses. It was my second xx

Cienega · 06/11/2020 06:57

OK I'm over analysing everything right now feel like a mad woman. I woke up at 5am with the strongest feeling of needing to be sick. I had to jump straight out of bed a run to the bathroom, sat with my head over the toilet and felt it was coming any second.... And then it just stopped. Completely passed. What!? Lying in bed still feeling a bit hungover but not needing to puke. I'm only 5dpo, could I really be feeling symptoms that strong so soon? I always had nausea on other pregnancies but never strong enough to run to the toilet to be sick, and I'm not sure how early I had felt it then. Is it just coincidental that Im coming down with something? But then if it was a bug would it really just go away as quick as it came!?? Crazy 😳

Markygirl1995 · 06/11/2020 07:36

Looks are now coming back faint so I'm wondering if my darker colour was my peak?

Markygirl1995 · 06/11/2020 07:36

XPeach123 · 06/11/2020 08:01

@markygirl1995 mine are coming back light but only had one day of a smiley face on my OPK. So now think I've missed my window of opportunity. ☹️

MgW1 · 06/11/2020 08:22

AF arrived last night 🤨 nevermind , onwards and upwards , CD2 today. Il shall be having a bottle of wine and a takeaway tomorrow. I wont be doing any testing this month - too stressfull 🤪 xxx

Kg87 · 06/11/2020 08:25

@MgW1 ohh no I’m so sorry to hear that! You enjoy your wine and takeaway, it’s well deserved xx

millionairesshortbread4 · 06/11/2020 08:45

AF arrived this morning! Wasn't to be.

At least every month is a new chance! 🙏 We go again ladies 😊 xx

MgW1 · 06/11/2020 08:48

@Kg87
Started the evening primrose. Let me know how you get on xx

PurplePops · 06/11/2020 09:08

@MgW1 sorry to hear that, definitely enjoy some wine this weekend! What an emotional roller coaster TTC is! Xx

MgW1 · 06/11/2020 09:18

@millionairesshortbread4
Yes absolutely 🤞🏻 xx

Kg87 · 06/11/2020 09:32

@MgW1 ah brilliant, yes I will let you know. Still haven’t had a chance to test since 8DPO as my FRERs haven’t arrived which is a good thing I suppose, I’m 11DPO now and they should be coming today so I might test in the morning. I’m not confident though as I had my day 21 blood results back and dr said the progesterone is a little low. I’m hoping when I start the Letrozole this will increase my progesterone as well make me ovulate 🤞🏼

XPeach123 · 06/11/2020 12:22

So, I had a full meltdown at DH this morning about how nervous I was with the blood tests and how some of his comments (he claims are jokes) have been quite hurtful to me and have left a lasting impression.

I don't think men quite get the turmoil we go through with hoping every month it'll happen, and it doesn't and then we have to psych ourselves up again. All they need to do is a quick 2 minute job at the right time and then they can carry on their merry way and not think more of it. I'm speaking from how I feel my DH is and not for the rest of the male population.

Today I just feel so disheartened and down about it all.
