Hi. It says the thread is closed 🤷‍♀️ or is it just me?

Anyway starting this thread for the November TTC bus , as many of us are still TTC or in 2ww.

Pls invite others you know. Thanks !

@SRyellow ah no I'm sorry to hear that! I'm going to wait as long as possible maybe in a few days. Always next month. Weve decided that if this month doesnt work out well TTC jan so we can enjoy xmas. Never heard of that what do they do? I heard it helps men to take zinc whether thats true or not I'm unsure.

It’s just such an emotional rollacoaster, I just never knew it would be this difficult.

That’s good if you can wait as you will get a nice clear result!

The vitamins are called Zita West, my friend ttc for a year, her acupuncturist recommended and she said they worked. Her Dh had 99% defective sperm after testing and she thinks the vitamins helped him. I think I need to work on diet and general health too. I have a normal range bmi but I don’t exercise other than walking and could eat better so will try to work on that too x

@SRyellow how long have you been TTC for? Either way it's not nice at all to get a BFN having such high Hope's thinking this month is yours. It will be one day trust me all good things take time.

Just to see any line would be nice lol I thought it would show by now though.

I'll have a look into them for january, yes me too my bmi is quite high but I've brought it down so much already to TTC hoping it improves my chances xx

Hi everyone, just realized the other group was closed. 12DPO and bfn today, af due in a couple days. Trying to hold out hope for this month still 🤞🏻

Come on November!! Smile on us☺️🙏. We need BFPs on this November bus...🤰🤱🌈🍼👶🌞

Sorry to see BFNs😓, it's hard trying month after month to no avail...but if there's no AF yet, it still can be a BFP 🤞

I find this quote soothing during BFN months;
"And you begin again and sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, but you begin again. Even though your heart is breaking, in time the sun will shine..." – Barry Manilow

Hopefully we will all hold our LOs in our arms soon🤞🙏☀️🌞

@keepingfaithandhope that is lovely thank you for sharing that. Still remaining hopeful no sign is a good sign right just unsure with these cramps and a BFN yesterday 1 day missed af

🤗🤗@Markygirl1995 yes it still can happen. I had cramps and some bleed (sorry TMI) even after BFP (I freaked out thinking it was over but it wasn't ) so I'm a big believer in not giving up until AF arrives cos of this experience.

🤞🤞🤞 for you

@keepingfaithandhope thank you x

@keepingfaithandhope thank you, that quote is really lovely. Trying to hold on to hope that it will happen.

@Markygirl1995 thank you, let’s hope this cycle is better! I’ve been ttc for 5 months, feels like forever. This month was the first that I followed SMEP. I think I might call the Drs to see if I can get a blood test. I know what you mean about hoping for any line! I really hope you see one!

@MgW1 I don't think I ovulated at all. I genuinely managed to crash my app for several days as it couldn't work out wtf was going on based on my opks and bbt! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I was like, if you can't work it out, what hope have I got?! I've now started using Glow app instead. It's a bit busy looking and personally don't find it as user friendly but at least it's not crashing!
And AF finally turned up properly! From Saturday night I got a teeny bit of blood if I pooped (sorry tmi) but that was. It - not even spotting in the day at all. Then FINALLY AF showed up properly on Weds PM - 5days late 🤦🏼‍♀️ Really hope that's the end of my period weirdness post mc 🤞
How are you feeling this cycle? Do you think you've ovulated yet?x

@bmeggar
Still not ovulated, Cd 16 today and just flashing smiley. Did a cheapy opk and negative on that. Got a bit more ewcm so could be near. Miscalculated possible fertile days and started with dtd too soon , my hubby complaining that fri , sat and sun night is too much and wants to enjoy a beer after a long week at work so having tonight off!!! I dont know how i feel about this cycle. Since I had mc i have not felt fertile. I know it might sound odd but prior to the pregnancy id feel a bit fruity mid month ( we would have the odd night of passion and i felt sexy!! 🙈) but not getting that feeling at all. My skin is dry and i also have spots, think hormones are still out. If i dont ovulate this time , il see what happens next month and then il speak to my G.p after xmas because I am 37 and my husband is 40 , how are you feeling ? Sorry you got your AF , hopefully you will ovulate next cycle ... its so frustrating wirh bbt all over the shop xx

Morning everyone! Very strange night! Before going to bed I went to the loo and wiped away light pink barely anything. I wouldn't of even called it AF making an arrival it was so faint. Put a pad on and nothing all night! Not even wiping away pink anymore. 2 days late now. Still getting some cramps mainly on right lower tum and back. I dont want to go out my way to get a test for it to be a BFN. How long would you wait for

@Markygirl1995
When did you last test? Do a test? X

@MgW1 I did one friday and it was negative havent since I'm to worried to go out to buy another for it to be then negative and then something is wrong with me lol xx

@Markygirl1995
You are either pregnant or period is late because of the stress of trying to get pregnant!!! Its a right rollercoaster all this isnt it!! Xx

@MgW1it really is! 😫 I'm gonna go get a test today for peace of mind. I just think if I was gonna come I would have now have wiping away v v light pink 🤷🏻‍♀️

Morning ladies!! Hope everyone is doing well and hoping to see lots more BFPs on this month's bus 🤞

@MgW1 how are you? I am the same, waiting for my peak but my cycle seems to be following the same pattern as last month so hoping it's starting to settle down. Hoping I get my peak by CD16 as I am down to 2 more ovulation sticks and don't intend in buying anymore until January 🙈

@bmeggar sorry AF arrived but now you can enjoy a nice drink 😊 I think we'll do like you and take a break in Dec or no do bare minimum ie no ovulation testing and just DTD CD16 to 18 when I think I'll be ovulating. Who knows 🤔

@gracie2307 @Sunflowers81 @SRyellow how are you all doing? Are you gearing up for your fertile window? I'm finding TTC to be hard work LOL it seems like I'm wishing away half the month and I'm not even in the TWW yet 😫 I am finding SMEP much better than what we were doing before as I have at least 5 High Fertility days which means we would be DTD overkill by the time I actually ovulated.

I feel similarly @MgW1 I feel like I'm still getting my mojo back post mc and haven't felt sexy for ages! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Didnt help that it took ages for my preggo bloated tum to go down too.
Remind me how long ago your mc was? I'm sure it takes longer than we realise to get fully back to 'normal' - we all want it to happen instantly! Keeping my fingers crossed for you for this cycle. 🤞🤞🤞
I feel much better now I've fully got AF. Was worried it might be fecked but after the dodgy start, it's been fairly normal so that's something at least!xx

@SunnydazeQ
I am beginning to wonder if the stress of ttc is not helping post mc. I have just emailed a fertility accupuncture clinic in york nr where i live, im thinking of putting ttc on back burner for a month or 2 ? I have had little ewcm, had facial spots , incredibly dry patches of skin and mouth ulcers , i think its stress ? So thinking of exercising and trying accupuncture to help heal for now xx

@SunnydazeQ yeah I think we'll do similar and just not track but probs give it a bash once or twice. Then if it happens, that's still great, but no stress and I'm not going to avoid drink during 2ww or anything (not that I drink much anyway!). Will just be relaxed about the whole thing. I did everything 'right' last time and I miscarried so until I miss a period, I'm presuming not pregs from here on. Also, my mum had 4 kids healthy kids and no miscarriages and didn't know she was pregs with any of them until she was 8weeks!xx

@SunnydazeQ Hi! Got Af yesterday and felt completely hopeless. Had a few gin & tonics last night and I have regrouped this morning. I’ve ordered Zita West vitamins which have been recommended and taken a diet detox plan from there. Also trying to find someone for acupuncture. I agree ttc is very hard work, I’m very distracted at work and just obsessing over everything but it’s so hard not to! Especially in 2ww. What CD are you on? X

@bmeggar
Yes that is good hun , just takes time doesnt it. Well i was 14 weeks but it measured 12 weeks. We are gona dtd tonight for sake of it. Then im gona try accupuncture and just getting some more exercise in. Feel now im working mainly at home and hardly moving!!!! Still gona dtd in my fertile week but just need to accept that if im not ovulating its due to stress and i need to take steps to de - stress! Xx

@MgW1 that sounds like a good plan 👌 And I totally know what you mean about not moving 🤣 I literally just started going back to the gym and then we went into lockdown 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'm going to spend the next month sorting myself out I think. Then will go full steam ahead SMEP in Jan! 🍆🍆🍆🍆🤣xx

@bmeggar
Have you thought about accupuncture ? I really dont want to go down g.p route and medication just yet because i think it will sort itself out xx
