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

@MgW1 Thanks for your message! Thats interesting, I will keep an eye out. If AF doesn't properly start, I will get an early FR test. Just doing the cheapies from Amazon. How are you doing? Xx

So I finally got a positive OPK two days ago on CD25!

And now we wait...

Anyone else in the two week wait? I hate long cycles!

Hey @Dogmum13 bless you, being in limbo sucks! Have you had any spotting? When was your AF due? Xx

@gracie2307
Not bad..... just seeing how things work out this month. If i dont get a peak im going to order a 21 day ovulation blood test via medichecks. Still.not much in the ewcm front , maybe slightly better with the evening primrose but no where near what it was like pre - miscarriage 😔. Il see how i get on this month. Will speak to gp next month because unfortunately age is not on my side !!! Fingers crossed for you it sounds like you have been ttc -ing for a while so 🤞🏻 maybe chasterberry would be good for me ..... where did u get it from? Xx

@gracie2307 no spotting but sometimes a just get one wipe of pink if I'm lucky and then boom! Af is there. I'm normally 27/28 days so should have been due today at the latest. However last month was 25 days and month before was 30 day so it seems I'm a bit out of sync. I've never ov this late before either

@Dogmum13, I did one a week ago which was 6 days before AF was due and it was a bfn, so yes, I might do another one.
Just hate seeing the bfn!

@lulahloo yes I know exactly what you mean! I hate doing them. I'll only do them when my app says I'm late as up until 2 months ago I was never late

@Dogmum13
Yep. It also adds to the uncertainly. Is it a faulty test, is it too early, do I need to do it on the first peepee etc etc. Gaaaaah 😫😂

@lulahloo yes I only ever do it on the first pee lol

13dpo today and my boobs feel huge, a bit sore and sensitive. Feel like they are getting in the way of everything I try to do 🤣 if this is a another new af symptom then next month I give up symptom spotting 🙈

@Dogmum13
Are you hcg testing today or waiting? Big sore boobs is deffo a good sign 🤞🏻 xx

@MgW1 waiting. I'm always scared to test because this is cycle 12 and I've never had a bfp 🙈 I keep getting tiny mild cramps/pains which makes me think I'll get proper cramps soon and that af is on the way. Was going to test on Thursday if nothing by then

@lulahloo Mine started then faded but then it came in full swing yesterday. I was so confused thinking maybe I was PG after all. Had bad nausea so much recently too like even today I've got it even though I'm AF. Maybe you should leave it another 48 hrs and take a test?

@Gracie2307 mine was the same its so annoying being in limbo isn't it! It sounds like a few of us been in this situation this month. I'm good thanks, hope you are ok? Xx

@Raffaella13 just entered 2ww today after peak on cd16!! We’re in the process of moving house so hopefully this will distract me from symptom spotting! How are you feeling?

Hi @gracie2307 so sorry AF arrived! Do you think it could have been a chemical and that's why AF arrived early? It truly is disheartening isn't it. Onwards and upwards lovely. Hope you are better today and gearing up for the new cycle. I haven't heard about chasteberry and will look into this. Have you tried maca powder? I am trying it this cycle, both hubby and I are having a spoonful in our breakfast smoothies. I am also following SMEP this month, you never know. Today is CD9 for me so we DTD last night and tonight taking a break. Acupuncture was so nice that I fell asleep hahaha looking forward to this weekend's session. Still catching up to the thread and just saw your message that you haven't had a full period yet. Definitely do the FRER as fingers crossed it's implantation bleeding. Sending so much positive vibes your way for a BFP xx

@SRyellow how are you doing today? Since TTC, I've found a lot of projects to get myself stuck into. I'm running out of ideas/ projects now LOL

@MgW1 you made me LOL with you bonkfest planning! The only upside when AF rears her head. What CD are you now?

@SparkyLauz sorry AF arrived and yes that sounds like a plan. We're going to do the same. Better to know earlier rather than seeing that dreaded negative test. Enjoy your mojitos :)

@Dogmum13 sending positive vibes your way for a BFP!

@Theawkwardblonde hang in there until AF arrives and I understand completely when you said about other people being pregnant. We had friends who announced their pregnancy recently around the same time we would have been 3 months if I didn't have the MC. It is so hard but we have to believe it is possible. Sending baby dust your way!

@XPeach123 @Emc16x hope everything comes back in the clear for both of you and hope you get your BFPs soon. With lockdown we haven't seen many friends in person but have 2 friends who just announced in a matter of days. Really hope to get a BFP so don't have to TTC again cause at this stage, I'll be happy with one bubba.

@MamaPheebz sorry AF arrived, it really does break your heart doesn't it. On to the next cycle and sending baby dust!

@NamechangeTTC there's definitely a line there!!! Congratulations!!! Love seeing positives in our little group and it gives me so much hope!

@Bmeggar absolutely agree with you!! It will happen for all of us :) BTW have you tried non alcoholic beers? I really like San Miguel and Bavaria but not the Heineken. Been trying non alcoholic wines too but not good at all. Also yes I started spotting just before my period, which never happens, overnight nothing then in the afternoon the next day full bleed. I was hopeful when I started spotting and took a test too just to double check LOL The things we put ourselves through.

@lulahloo definitely take a test. Fingers crossed for you!

@SunnydazeQ
Hi how are you? Im not bad , CD 13 today. Hardly over doing it - dtd every other day. He says he cant manage every day and needs a day in between to recover 🤣 he wasnt like that 5 yrs ago when we were trying before - so he must be past his best.... maybe i need a younger model!!!!
Anyway all seems ok. Day 2 of high fertility with clear blue. Based on last month i should ovulate friday / saturday at latest but we will see. Still no ewcm - using pre seed which is a bit of a passion killer! My hubby says it looks like a thrush applicator 🙈 xxx

@Dogmum13
Yes wait til after your period definately. Its best anyway for an accurate result. Xx

@SunnydazeQ thank you 🙂

@MgW1 I'm not sure if I should count it as late now since I'm normally 27/28 days or wait till Thursday since I ov late

@MgW1 you are hilarious!!! LOL at younger model
I am not too bad thank you. A lot going on at work at the moment so that's kept me busy along with my weekend upcycle/ redecorating projects. Just checked out Medichecks so will definitely be checking this out if we don't get a BFP by the end of the year. x

@Raffaella13 hi. Will start 2ww tomorrow. I will join you then. I hate the 2ww 😬.

Hello I'm joining this too. After an ectopic 6 weeks ago I'll be trying again this month. Ovulation is coming up in a few days, i have stopped smoking and eating healthier to make sure it's a sticky bean.

@SunnydazeQ
I try to be 😊
Yes and look at the agnus cactus / chasterberry at holland and barratt. Its well worth a shot, did you say your peaks were a bit erratic - cant remember 🤔 xx

Hi @Halli2020 also just joined in. So sorry to hear about your ectopic. Yes let's keep hope alive for this month! 🤞

@SunnydazeQ Hi! I have been trying to keep myself busy and distracted 10dpo now. Had backache today but not really much in the way of any unusual symptoms. I don’t plan on testing just going to try to wait and see this time! How have you been feeling, any symptoms? I definitely know what you mean within running out of projects lol at least my productivity is up! X

Afternoon @sunnydazeq @emc16x and others. Hope you're all doing well?
So nice to see some BFPs on the November bus - sending lots of love across you you all.
Have a phone app with my GP tomorrow to find out blood test results and I'm genuinely filled with dread of what they will say. Part of me just feels having any answer will be better than nothing but then I'm playing out the worst case scenarios in my head and it's awful!
