TTC November Bus

[Bmeggar]

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

@Bmeggar
Oh no! Have you just started with it? Hormonal perhaps ?! X

@MgW1 I got it from the antibiotics I took post-mc. Fecking hate antibiotics! Although I realise they are good really. They just ALWAYS give me thrush and I find it really hard to shift once I have it. I'd just about got rid of it then had lots of sex, and hey presto, back again 🤦🏼‍♀️ Desperately trying to shift before next fertile week x

I think we must be dtd more frequently than most people here 🙈 we normally dtd every other day and at least 5 days in a row around ov. I thought that was normal lol. One month we even did 16 days in a row to cover all bases but it didn't work 🤣

@Bmeggar
I guess you have tried the canestan pessery? X

@gracie2307 ahh never thought of that! Good point! Will see how things go over the next couple of months 🙂 ahh at least you'll have something to watch and keep you busy lol. Did insee you said you are cd 21 and 4dpo because if you are we must have ov on the same day! 😁

@Dogmum13
Every other day - 4 times in fertile week. Supplies get too thin?! 🤷‍♀️ try less next time unless you nailed it this time?. X

@Dogmum13 Yes I am indeed! 😄 we are cycle twins this month! Fingers crossed we get our BFPs for November 🤞🤞🤞 we will have to keep each other posted on how we are getting on. Trying to keep everything warm - eating hot (warm temp) foods and keeping a nice temperature apparently help implantation. This is what I am telling my DH when he asks why the heating is on 🤣🤣🤣 xx

Hi, is it too late for me to join this bus? Been TTC 6 months and had 2 CP. Currently cycle day 3 (after a CP). Temp hasn't dropped yet though so thinking ovulation will be late

@MgW1 I don't think we could cope with less than every other day 🙈 we have tried less and more and nothing has worked so far. At this point we are just assuming we will need help tbh still secretly hoping it might happen before we actually get to see someone lol

@gracie2307 must try that myself 🤣 yes be good to keep on touch and compare our cycle lol feel like its going to be a long month 😴 I'd normally be 9dpo by now 😔

@Dogmum13
Absolutely try and stay positive 🙏 xx

@Libra90
Welcome hun.... more like a rollercoaster than a bus 😜
Have you spoken to G.p about CP? I think.i may have had a really early one of those this time as got faint positive 2 days in a row and then AF arrived xx

@MgW1 sorry to hear that. I'm sure I've read you're supposed to be super fertile the month after so fingers crossed for this month🤞
Yes I did call the GP, but they really didn't care. My fertility is "obviously fine" and I've "only" been trying for 6 months so carry on and I'll probably get pregnant in the next 6 months naturally. If not give them a call them. So here we go again!

@Libra90
You may have cracked it this month then 🤞🏻. Its why I wont test too soon in future xx

@Dogmum13 wow 16 days in a row is good going!

We’ve got the last go on the SMEP tomorrow and then we get a rest lol

@Libra90 welcome, 🤞 for this month

I’m only one day in and already finding 2ww hard! I don’t think the lockdown helps it go quickly!

Woohoo for smep rest @SRyellow. We must be on the same timing as our last day was today!

@NamechangeTTC keep me posted how you get on! I’ve never tried it before, I got my positive Friday (think I ovulated Saturday), skipping tomorrow and then the one for luck on Tuesday. I am very ready for that rest!!!

DH loves a hot bath too but we’ve read that isn’t good when ttc so he’s excited for Tuesday break just so he can have a bath

Haha!
I’ve cut caffeine totally, cut down booze (only had 3 glasses this month, all today!), vitamins coming out my ears, legs up for 30mins (despite it doing zero), not getting up to pee, acupuncture.

Probably tried too much!

@SRyellow we won't be doing that again in a hurry 🤣 just wanted to see if it would work but it didn't. I think we will try SMEP next month. Do you just dtd after that when you want or do you not do it at all until cd8 again?

I think you can @Dogmum13 I have a rest!

@NamechangeTTC thank you. Dont think we could go most of the month with doing anything lol af is a hard enough wait 🙈 We've just had a let's just see what happens attitude the whole way through and I don't want it to become stressful and that we have to do it on certain days so will see how next cycle goes 😬

Took a first response this morning and got a negative.... 4days till I'm due AF... negative test has made me feel like it's not going to happen this month, il retest in the morning, fingers crossed for a BFP sending baby dust to everyone 😚

Morning ladies!!! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Unfortunately AF arrived this morning in full swing 😢 I felt this was the month for us, 2nd month after our EMC but hey ho it wasn't meant to be!! I had the most symptoms as well, particularly extreme bloat and daily headaches.

I am focusing on the positives today, I've already reduced my daily coffee to 1/2 a teaspoon, my drinking has reduced significantly from every week to a couple glasses of wine a month when AF arrives (hello Monday cabernet sauvignon), eating way more nuts than usual. A couple of people mentioned the SMEP and I downloaded the book to read up on it today so will try this cycle.

Good luck to everyone still waiting to test!! Rooting for you and really hope we can all see the back of TTC soon as it's hard work. Sending baby dust Xx

Ugh sorry @SunnydazeQ. Those are really positive changes though!

Sorry to hear that @SunnydazeQ Enjoy that Monday night wine - you blimin deserve it! I feel really sure that I'm out of the game this month too but have another week until period is due 🤦🏼‍♀️
Sending hugs and baby dust for the next round x
