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 !

@bmeggar
You do right for jan! I may join you in this plan. Have you thought about accupuncture? Xx

@MgW1 yeah it's definitely something I'd try if we're still not getting anywhere in Jan/Feb. I feel the same in that I'd prefer to try everything else ahead of meds. Also, as I know I can get pregs, and tests say nothing is wrong, makes me just think it's only a matter of time before it 'works' and im pregs xx

@bmeggar
I have been feeling a but guilty as i feel its consumed me all of this. I should be focussing more on my children and getting ready for xmas !! Im gona continue with 1/2 pregnacare preconception and book accupuncture in over next few weeks xxx

@MgW1 plan Stan 💪 We've got this girl. It's going to happen soon and in the meantime, we can have fun with our kids and enjoy the magic of Xmas through their eyes. LOVE being around kids at Christmas. Warms the soul 💕 x

@bmeggar
Oh it absolutely does 🥰 i need to shift my focus now .... We have 💪 xx

Hi All,

I am very new to Mumsnet but I have been lurking for a few weeks trying to work out all the acronyms used here. So pleased to come across this thread.

Myself and my partner are TTC and currently started our first round of IUI this month. We had our first insemination on Wednesday and on our 2 week wait now. We are 5DPO at the moment.

We are trying to stay relaxed and not get our hopes up about this first round but we also have our fingers toes and eyes crossed.

Good Luck to everyone it would be nice to have some good news ahead of Christmas.

I guess I'm not 😫🤷🏻‍♀️

@Markygirl1995
Right i know you will feel disheartened but next month , try relax more 😘 it'll happen xx have a few 🍻 while ya can xx

Feeling so disheartened this morning. BBT dipped way down this morning and have all my classic at symptoms. I had a good cry this morning but I feel so silly because we've only been trying for 2 months. I underestimated what an emotional roller coaster this would be and I think what makes this harder is not being able to pick up the phone and cry to my mom. My husband is very supportive but he's a physician and works many night shifts and he just left this morning for a 24 hour shift. So just feels very lonely when you're upset and have to spend the day/night alone. I'm very grateful for this group xo

@ACNass
Awwwww sorry to hear your down , I think the stress of it really knocks it out of you. Can you keep yourself distracted today ? X

Hi @8obbingabout! Also doing insemination- but “at home” variety 😏. Currently on cycle #3. Did you decide to start with IUI or did you try at home first? Best of luck!

@MgW1 I tried to pick up a shift at work (I'm a nurse) but my unit just isn't that busy right now. So I'm going to do a workout and clean the house to kill a couple hours 🤷🏻‍♀️

I can't help but think something is wrong.

@Markygirl1995
Its stress hun , are you 14 dpo? Are you taking taking pregnancy supplements? Have you conceived before ? Im sure there is nothing wrong with you!! Xx

@MgW1

I'm 15 or 16dpo today cd 30, I have but 2 years ago straight after mmc and I'm taking the seven seas trying for baby. I just dont feel like something is right

@Markygirl1995
If your ovulating and you have fertility mucus then its a waiting game xx

@Markygirl1995 how long have you been ttc? I know how you feel and the worry that something is wrong - I worried all night last night but after loads of googling I think it’s the same for a lot of people, it can sometimes just take time. It’s so hard picking yourself back up to start again every month but all you can do is focus on looking after yourself. I’m really going to try to mentally detox this month, it will happen for us we just have to stay positive xx

@gracie2307 I did wonder why I couldn't get on the other thread. Currently on CD7 so ile be on the Dec bus!! Hope you're ok? Its my wedding anniversary today bit gutted about not being away for it. Instead went for a long walk (in the rain) was hoping for the news of a lil one before this anniversary tbh!

This is Cycle 9 for me now eek xx

@SRyellow sounds silly, this is our first month but my expectations were high for the first month. Silly me. I'm not really thinking about I havent much all day apart from doing the test I've been keeping myself distracted but I dont feel like I'm going to come on.

@MgW1
I'm sure I ovulated I thought I had pains on the 7th whilst working 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔

@Bizawit Hi! We went straight in for IUI. I think I was worried about my age working against us and wasting precious time. Wishing you lots of luck too!

Question can you implant on day of missed af? I'm thinking the light pink wipe could have been implantation? I'm remaining hopeful

@Markygirl1995
I think it might be unlikely , are you late? Are you using an app? X

I'm 2 days late I think, yes I'm using that premom one, I'm wondering if I implanted the day I was due to come on

@ACNass I'm right there with you and happy to chat. I'm at 12 DPO and just got a BFN and can feel AF coming on soon. My BBT also dropped today and that's really the kiss of death, isn't it?

Like you we've only just started trying, first month actually, and also like you I completely, utterly underestimated how draining and distracting this would be. I've probably (shamefully) used about $100 of FRERs this month because I kept symptom spotting and thinking this was it. Feeling very sad and worried there's something wrong but I won't find out for months and months. It's hard not to get wound up, isn't it.

@Highfalutinlootin yes you're so right. It's so incredibly draining and I never expected that especially so early on. When we started last month I thought I would be so carefree and just have fun with it but it's just not that easy. I think what makes it harder is not being able to talk to friends and family about it. We don't want the added pressure and questions but on the flip side makes me feel pretty lonely in the process. But having this group reminds me that I'm not the only one feeling this way and that it's normal. All we can do is try again and hope December brings happier news 🤞🏻🤞🏻
