Remember remember the month of November as it’s the month I’m getting pregnant 🎉✨

[Mummytobe93]

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 🙈😂😂

I got my peak this morning. This is my first month using OPK's so still new to it all.
We have DTD every other day this week so Sat, Mon, Wed and earlier tonight. Should we try again tomorrow?
We did try last night but were both so tired we had to give up half way 🙈 we r normally a once or twice a week couple.
It's so hard not to put pressure on ourselves.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

@Squiff70 yes, I just signed up and made an account and have been adding my OPKs daily. I haven’t really looked what the benefits of paying are, I’m currently using it for what I want it for 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Squiff70 oh I’m sorry hear that, Hopfully it doesn’t last long
Sadly af has arrived now, onto the next cycle now got try keep positive

Hi @Coco9910 yes, do t worry, sometimes the LH doesn’t rise gradually enough for us to see it on OPKs :) I would test 3 times a day during fertile window (morning, lunch time and evening) to really pin it down. If your surge is anything like mine, I’d miss it testing once a day.

Sorry about your AF arriving @hopefulmumma90 💕sending much love and good vibes!

BFN this morning 13DPO so I'm out wasn't going to test until next week but caved. Just want AF to arrive now.

Will step back from this group as I won't be back into tww until the very end of the month best of luck to everyone xxx

@Glago2017
We were trying every other day too for the whole month, but we were flagging towards the end 😂 and we didn't do it after ovulation.

So next time I think we will try the week of ovulation and dtd every other day and we would probably do the day after ovulation

We normally dtd once/twice a week and normally on weekends 😂

If you want to try then go for it but if your both exhausted then try next month

@mrsbiddy thanks for responding. We will try again tonight if we can. I had a dull ache in my side last night so I'm thinking that is when I ovulated. As i said I am new to all this so still trying to work out how my body works through the month. Never really took note before. With DD we took the approach of it will happen when it happens but I would like to be pregnant again sooner rather than later. 🤞

@Glago2017

This is cycle 2 for us and totally get it! Reading all the information is sometimes overwhelming and I didn't realise ttc was so complicated 😥

I have pcos so knew it was going to be difficult, I have long cycles, I'm currently 4dpo, apparently I ovulated on cd30 😯 but we tried our best this month so we shall see what happens 🤞🏻🍀

@MrsBiddy I know its so hard. I'm trying not to obsess over everything.

Fingers crossed this is the cycle for us both 🤞🤞

Thanks @Coco9910! Just ordered some easy@home OPKs to be delivered tomorrow and installed the Premom app. My FW starts tomorrow with ovulation expected on the 5th. Fireworks, baby!

8dpo today had a headache and stuffy nose the past few days but my DD is poorly today so not sure if I have a bug.

Took a pregnancy test today 🙈 I know it's too early but couldn't help myself! I am sure I see the faintest line! Will test again tomorrow 🤞🏻

Morning ladies,

Sadly my anxiety hit me this morning and woke me up at 4am. And I’m not even in my tww, currently on cd6.
We got our fertility dr appointment, looking long protocol IVF start in November, possible date for egg retrieval early Jan.
My other half has an interview on Monday, this is the job what he really wants to do! So he is stressing about it!
Then yesterday we got a call from our landlord, they’re selling the house, possible that we need to move end of this year, beginning of next year. On the top of that I got an information that I can’t take holiday in January (planned for the treatment) and of course Xmas is approaching very fast, over a 1000 cover during the first 3 weeks in December.(working in hospitality sector -soo fun!)
I regularly do meditation and yoga, and practising breath but today nothing helps me. Please give me some advice how all of you keeping yourself calm ❤️

Finally after 41 days I'm finally on CD1!!
so ready for this cycle!!

@Maddie2802 I think I can see the faintest line on the first pic. 🤞 this is your month. Cant wait to hear an update!

@Dobcaty sorry to hear you have been struggling with anxiety 💖 have you tried the headspace app? When I struggle to sleep I find their sleep recording really helps me calm down. Have you spoke to your doctor? They might have some recommendations too.

Sounds like you have a lot on your plate at the moment! I always find a plan helps me, like start looking for alternative places to live, maybe try and find somewhere you like even more so can make the experience that bit more positive.

Here to chat if needed 💖 I regularly suffer from anxiety and depression and find stressful periods really make it worse and harder to deal with everything including the little things too

@Glago2017 thank you! It is very faint but I'd expect that at 8dpo, so we will see!! I have a FRER I'm saving for in a few days, hopefully this is it 🤞🏻

How are you?

@Dobcaty it sounds like you are having a tough time. I hope you feel better today. I know its easier said than done but try taking it one day at a time, I find not looking to far into the future helps me not overthink and let my mind run away with things that could happen.

@Maddie2802 I am good thanks, trying not to overthink every little thing. I got my peak OPK yesterday morning and have been DTD every other day. So 🤞 I have caught this cycle.
Looking forward to hearing what your test says, so exciting! X

@Glago2017 it's so hard not to focus on every sign and symptom isn't it! What cycle are you on? Will this be your first? Sorry if you've already said, I find it so hard to keep up with the thread sometimes!

@Squiff70 good luck with them! I can’t wait to start seeing a “high” reading on mine 😂 fingers crossed for you this cycle!

@Dobcaty I’m so sorry you are having a hard time at the moment. That all sounds really stressful! What calms me down and distracts me is reading a book..find one that really sucks you in and distracts you and even a few pages a night before bed might help your head to switch off. Sending you lots of love and a big hug 💕

@Mummytobe93 thank you for this! Should I test with FMU or second? I will start testing 3x a day today, better go do the first test 😂

@Maddie2802 this is cycle 2 for us but 1st one using OPK's. We have a DD who is turing 4 next month but with her we just though it will happen when it happens so this is my first time really looking into how my body works and when to DTD.

What about you, how long have you been ttc?

@Glago2017 I'm cycle 2 also and first month using OPKs so similar to you! My DD turned 3 end of September and she was a surprise so this is my first time properly trying. Hopefully cycle 2 is lucky for us both! 💕

@Maddie2802 if you don't mind me asking when did u DTD this cycle?
I got my peak yesterday morning and DTD Sat,Mon,Wed and last night. Just wondering if that's enough. Think my husband may divorce me if I ask to go again tonight 🤣 we r not used to it. 🙈
