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 🙈😂😂

@Nico89 sorry meant to add, can't help re implantation bleeding question but hopefully someone can ☺️ how many DPO are you?

Morning ladies

Unfortunately i took a test yesterday and this morning and both a BFN!

Plus Aunt Flo has started to arrive and my OvuSense chart is on point lol

Good luck everyone else xx

We have a few testers today 😁-@Mrslightat ,@dory01 and @MrsBiddy .. goodluck and fingers crossed for some positives!

@MrsBiddy sorry, didn’t see your comment when I pressed send!

@dory0 it is very possible to test negative at 10DPO but still be positive, your not out yet!

Morning ✨

Sorry @Firsttimetrier, I don’t know much about ovulation spotting, hopefully someone else can help you out!

@MrsBiddy ahh I’m sorry hun! 💕I’m sending you lots of baby dust for next cycle!✨

@dory0 it’s still very early on so😉

Morning everyone, unfortunately BFN from me as well today at 11dpo but I am still hopeful :) good luck to everybody testing tomorrow!

Morning all,

I’m jumping on with you as well!

BFN this morning, 10DPO with a FRER. We’re both 32, is cycle #2 and I’m feeling a little sad. Holding out small hope as AF is due in 4 days, we will see!

I need your help or advice. I'm deflated, I started spotting this morning. Thing is, it's two days too early, I always had a 14 day luteal phase, today is 12dpo. Bleeding is pink / red, but I don't have my usual bad cramps, I never get thorugh AF without a lot of painkillers.
I really don't know what's going on with my body to be honest. I could always trust on my gut feeling, but somehow it seems like everything is off. Luteal phase suddenly changed, I had the same metallic taste in my mouth that I only had when I was pregnant the last two times, and I had mild cramps since around 7dpo.
What would you recommend? Going to see my OB-GYN to get a bloodwork done? Doing a pregnancy test even though I started bleeding because it feels differently? I'm so tired of this. I can handle a BFN and I can handle my AF arriving, really. But I can't handle this not knowing my body anymore.

Morning everyone, unfortunately BFN from me as well today at 11dpo but I am still hopeful :) good luck to everybody testing tomorrow!

omg a very unusual thing just happened! tmi warning! as I wiped after peeing there was a very light pink on the paper! That has never happened to me as I never spot prior to my period day and my period is not due till Monday. I am 11dpo today, cycle day 23. On top of that my temp today dropped but I didn't think of it much. Now in combination with pink spotting I am wondering may that was implantation? Of course it could be also that my period is starting today earlier that expected, will keep you updated!

Thanks for your replies @Mummytobe93 and @Bundaberg84, I will go and enjoy my spa day and try not to worry!

Bundaberg, do you think there’s any chance your spotting could be implantation bleeding? Especially as it’s off for your normal, and you have the metallic taste too. I personally would take a FRER and see how you get on?

@Mrslight that sounds really positive! It could well be implantation bleeding, fingers crossed for you both, let us know how you get on! 🤞🏼

@Bundaberg84 I feel your pain. This is where I'm currently at. I don't feel like this is AF but I'm almost too afraid to take a test to get a BFN and still not know what is going on. I think I'm going nuts I keep talking to myself like "come on sort it out show me a sign for definite either way!"

@SantiagoSister I was about to test this morning when I saw the blood, but I couldn't and had to leave to work in 15 minutes so now I'm at work and wondering what's going on. I wanted to take a test with, but we're having a friend living with us for a while and all tests are in that room, so I took it as a sign to leave it be, at least for today.

@Nico89 I'm sorry you're in the same boat! I also had a weird cycle last month, AF came early as well but not three days, and I had the usual cramps and everything related to it, this time is different again. Did you test?

@Bundaberg84 I haven't tested yet. I'm going to give it until tomorrow and see if it progresses any more or stops. I work nights so I have to use first evening pee to test once I've had a sleep (if my mind shuts off enough )🙃

Good morning everyone!

Ahhhh I feel like a new woman this morning!!!
Nothing has changed, except for my headspace. I don't know what possessed me yesterday, everything felt so heavy and overwhelming and catastrophic. But I woke up today feeling like myself again! Thanks all for your kind words of encouragement and for sharing your challenges with me! I so appreciate you all!
I think with this TTC business, I really struggle with the fact that I have no actual control over it. Like I'm not a laid-back person, I'm very much type A - I plan, I'm organized, when I put my mind to something, I want it to happen YESTERDAY!!! And this approach just does not work with this. I need to somehow chill and practice patience. LOL! If anyone has any tips to offer in that department - I'm all ears.

On another note, CD 20 today, and I believe O is today - honestly, full 5 days later than originally predicted!! My OPKs have gone down today, so will finally be 1 DPO tomorrow and join the TWW, which let's be honest, will not be much of a wait at all because I know we missed it. But that's ok, bring on December!

@Firsttimetrier thanks lovely, glad to know I'm not alone in how I feel. I know nothing about O bleeding, I think I've read somewhere it could happen, but have no personal experience to offer.

@Bundaberg84 I'm so sorry this is happening, but...couldn't it be a you-know-what? Have you tested? I have everything crossed for you!

For everyone else testing today - if you got a BFN please do not feel upset just yet, especially if you're testing early! 10 DPO is still incredibly early, so you have quite a bit of time for that to turn around!!

Fingers crossed either way!!

My husband threw something into the bathroom bin last night and said "holy crap how many sticks do you need to pee on!!"" 😂 it's not even that many. Ok maybe it is

I went to the shops and bought a test, stark white BNP. I'm over it, really.

@Danani wow, I have literally just written an almost carbon copy of your post on another thread about me being a complete Type A, and really struggling with the fact I have zero control over having a baby. You have literally just described me to a T 😂 so I too will be watching to see if anyone has any advice for being able to learn some patience!! So glad you’re feeling better today too, it’s horrible when things get so overwhelming, but it’s great to get it off your chest.

ehm yea. BFN is what I meant of course.

@Irishfarmer that just made me actually LOL, nearly spat my coffee everywhere 😂

Sorry to hear that @Bundaberg84, so annoying as it just leaves you wondering what the hell is going on now doesn’t it 😔

absolutely @SantiagoSister. I just contacted my OB-GYN via email and asked to to some blood work just for the sake of it.

I think that’s a good shout @Bundaberg84, hopefully that can shed some light on things and help with the stress of all the unknowns.

Update in here: my cousin who just got married on the 1st October, expecting twins. They were TTC over a year and as much as I am happy for them, couldn't help w a tear or two. Come on af where are you?
