Hello everyone ✨🎉

I’m starting a November thread after being unsuccessful this month, got some spotting so probably cycle day 1 for me today, with fertile window being in the first week of November.

Please join me if you’re as hopeful about fresh cycle as I am!

My main goal is to DTD more, we definitely didn’t make the most of it in October …
I’m therefore going to be 100% honest with DH that we need to get down to business this cycle.

PS. Hope you like the title 🙈😂😂

Joining you :) today is my first day of new cycle as well. This will be our 3rd ycle trying. I will add measuring bbt this time, I have never done it before. I am also thinking may be to try different frequency of dtding, not sure though yet if it is risky or not.Please let November be our month 🙏🙏

Cruz86 · 20/10/2021 13:17

YES! I love this title @Mummytobe93 🙌🏻

lemons44 · 20/10/2021 13:24

Joining the bus ☺️

Cycle 7 or 8 for us TTC #1. I'm early 30s and DH is late 30s.

Using OPKs and temping. CD 7 today with fertile window starting soon.

Good luck all.

Joining in too! Love the title!

Mummytobe93 · 20/10/2021 13:40

Welcome everyone! 🎉

Thanks @Cruz86 @Danani 🥰

Good luck @lemons44! 🤞

It’s my third cycle trying, I’m 28 & DH is 40, and he’s already got a son from previous relationship so I assume it’s all good with his fertility. I’ve got pretty regular cycles (25-27 days) and been off the pill since May.

I’ll continue with BBT and OPKs, as much as it’s sometimes stressful, I feel like it’s gives me great insight into my body… I was annoyed I say a temperature drop this morning but I knew before any cramps that AF is coming.

I’ll also start taking Primrose Oil, I was taking it until ovulation last cycle and it did wonders for my CM (It’s not recommended during pregnancy so I stopped after ovulation)

I’m aboard!! Spotting for me today too, so will treat this as cd1.

Second cycle for us, not bbt or opk-ing so think the plan is just to have all the sex all the time! 😂 Mr D won’t know what’s hit him! 😬

Squiff70 · 20/10/2021 13:46

Hello ladies.

I'm not fully weaned from the October thread yet but I may as well be. BFNs at 14 DPO and AF due today so...

Looking forward to chatting with you all and seeing lots more BFPs!

Good luck all!

Shortmamashortcycles · 20/10/2021 13:46

Marking my place... baby dust to all!

Nora11 · 20/10/2021 13:48

I would love to join! On day 4 of cycle 22 (😖) so would love to remember remember November as my lucky month- finally!

beckybabyx · 20/10/2021 14:00

Hi all, not fully out the October thread yet but I know deep down I’ll be joining you on this thread soon. Sending love & baby dust to everyone and LOVE the title Smile going to order a thermometer now to do bbt in November cycle, does anyone have any recommendations? xx

OK92 · 20/10/2021 14:01

Joining too :)

2nd day of a new cycle today. Fingers crossed November is the month 🤞🏼

LA9610 · 20/10/2021 15:30

Hey,

I am joining too if that's okay?! I have had a break in October as DH was offshore so really excited about November :)

Fertile window is 2nd - 8th November
Cycle #11 (This will actually mark 1 year of TTC for us, it's only 11 cycles as I obv don't count the ones where DH was not here to DTD!)
30 years old, DH is 31.

TTC baby #1!

Mummytobe93 · 20/10/2021 15:31

Hi @beckybabyx , I’ve got this one

www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07VF464QD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_2QNRT5K5NHPPDH3XVSDK?psc=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=mumsnetforu03-21

It’s ok I think, the only thing that I’d improve is the screen, I wish it lit up in the dark, because reading the temps at 6 am it’s getting hard with no light on…

ohmybaby · 20/10/2021 15:44

Also joining, 18dpo so October may still have been it but likely not as I've got about 12 BFN littering my bathroom bin 😂😭

With you OP, going to DTD as much as possible this month. As AF is a few days late I have no idea when I actually will be ovulating yet, but let's hope I get a chance sometime in November! An August baby would be lovely 💜

Chanel05 · 20/10/2021 15:47

Hello!

Loving the positivity.

I'm ttc #2 and this is cycle 2. I'm due af somewhere between 10-13th November.

I'm trying not to go too mad this time. It took 18 months with a mmc in between to conceive my daughter so I know it can be a long and frustrating journey.

lemons44 · 20/10/2021 15:56

@beckybabyx I use the one that links to the Premom app... it's the easy @ home one which I think works really well. It is default in Fahrenheit though but changes to Celsius when I synch to the app so all my readings are in C. I think easy @ home are an American company and that's why:

BH1926 · 20/10/2021 16:03

Hey 👋🏻 I'm aboard 😊 love the title @Mummytobe93 thanks for starting new thread 🖤

Cycle 7 of TTC #2 - I'm 30 and DH is 32. Im cycle day 4 - had a chemical pregnancy so hoping ovulation isn't too different from normal (cd 14/15) as DH on holiday around then or he'll be away with work again so fingers crossed he's here!

Hoping November is lucky for us all 🤞🏻

crabcake31 · 20/10/2021 16:20

Hi all, excited to join this community! I couldn't find if there are any rules or any FAQs. Please point me in the right direction if I've missed them.

I'm ttc #1 and this is cycle 2. I'm due af on the 15th November. But my cycle has been inconsistent since coming off the pill.

Quick question, do you count cd1 from your first sight of any spotting or the first day of true flow?

mia899 · 20/10/2021 16:34

Hi, hope i can join! On cycle day 1 too and have a positive feeling about this month, third cycle trying , we are 33 and also realising we need to dtd more as only managing 3 days in the fertile period. I was slightly obsessed with testing this ttw and it really got me down, will try my best not to do this again. Fingers crossed for everyone xx

lemons44 · 20/10/2021 16:40

@mia899 me and my DH are similar to you we always aim for every other day in the FW so three days out of the six. Sometimes we have only managed twice though on really busy weeks.
It's so hard to find a balance between DTD enough but also not making it feel forced.

SkaterChick · 20/10/2021 16:41

Hey everyone, so back to TTC for me. Sadly my bfp at the end of sept turned out to be eptopic and i miscarried. I've was given the all clear today to start TTC again but they have no idea when Ill ovulate next. So, hopefully for November but we'll see how it all goes!

beckybabyx · 20/10/2021 16:51

Thank you @Mummytobe93 I’ve ordered it. Do you have any tips for BBT as I’m completely new to it? Xx

mia899 · 20/10/2021 17:32

@lemons44 ahh i'm glad we're not the only ones! We are finding the forcedness of it weird and we are both knackered by 9pm these days, but i think we are missing ovulation. Going to try make it more fun this month! X

cocoforbes · 20/10/2021 18:26

I'd like to join!

I'm 34, DH is 35. Trying for our first. Cycle #2 and 2DPO today so I'm hoping to test on the 2nd of Nov.

We tried SMEP this time and we had 4 days back to back due to when I got my peak, it was hard going and I am definitely going to try and think of ways to make it easier!

cocoforbes · 20/10/2021 18:46

Sorry for your loss @SkaterChick Thanks
