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 🙈😂😂

Xxxx

Aaaaaand the TWW begins. So torturous!! I don’t know how I’m going to hold off testing until the 21st. It’s going to be a loooong 10 days!

Also - any advice appreciated. We only did it twice during my “fertile window” but last cycle was 37 days 😖 and I’m still getting EWCM… do we carry on DTD??? I’m on CD 18, had some spotting 4-5 days ago which I figured must be ovulation xx

Hi all :) happy Thursday!
I’m just catching up on this thread - 2DPO today and feel like I’m super aware of everything my body is doing 😆 it’s gonna be a long 8 days!

My testing day will hopefully be next Friday, but will see if I have the willpower! Have some internet cheapies on hand, and good ol’ FRER if there’s even a hint Of a line!!

Good luck everyone!

@madeleine85 thank you for your response and putting my mind at ease! I don’t drink much anyway and when we first started TTC i stopped drinking altogether, but we are cycle 4 now, so who knows how long we may be TTC for. I appreciate your message, made me feel better 😊

Morning

9DPO, had a dream that I was taking multiple tests and they were all positive… So as soon as I woke up I took one and I saw SWN (stark white negative) 😂 oh well!

Symptom wise, I’ve had some skin breakout since yesterday and still slightly constipated.

@Coco9910 you’re more than fine with couple of glasses of wine in the TWW😌

@ohmybaby sorry I can’t help in that matter, I’m only blessed with EWCM in my fertile window, not one day more …

@mrsS21 good luck with waiting - plenty of patience to you!

Ps. I’m going to post the calendar again - I’m going to test next in 3 days time (12DPO)

The 21st November seems to far away and I’m getting impatient to test already. I’m hoping a busy weekend and a busy week next week will help but I can’t help but feel everything going on with my body, even though I’m only 2DPO 😂.

I’ve worked out that this cycle where we’ve conceived we DTD 4 days before ovulation and then on the day itself and that worked (was expecting it not too etc). I would just keep DTD if you have the energy 😅

@AppleTree16 that’s really encouraging, we did 3 days before, day of O and day after. Fingers crossed we did enough. Huge congratulations!

@Firsttimetrier it’s going to be a long one isn’t it?!!

@Mummytobe93 going to try my best!!

@Mummytobe93 sorry you got a BFN this morning, but yes try again in a couple of days and fingers crossed! It is still early. Thanks, I’m going to try not be hard on myself during the TWW..they say stress is more harmful for a baby than 1 or 2 drinks 😅

BFN from me today, I guess if yesterday's spotting was implantation related I might still have a chance for BFP in a couple of days, however I now feel so naive believing it was implantation and not upcoming period related.

@Mummytobe93 sorry to hear about your BFN but fingers crossed you will get BFP in a couple of days

Heya all 💕

Lovely news for those with BFPs and sorry for those with BFNs but you're not out until AF shows!

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on staying calm during early pregnancy? I've started a new job recently and in 4 days I've worked 52 hours 🤯 I also have 2 little house rabbits and when they don't eat I get really worried. I am just a huge natural worrier. I'm about 5 weeks 5 days and I've had my first midwife appointment through.

Feeling nauseas, super tired and aching everywhere.

Do I keep taking my antidepressants too?! I'm so confused and overwhelmed. This is my first pregnancy.

Any advice would be massively appreciated or if anyone knows of any threads I could join please do let me know. Thank you xx

Oh that’s good to know @AppleTree16 ! We did the three days before O but was too knackered and were both out the evening of O to DTD. Really hoping there was some eager swimmers waiting!

So according to a positive opk yesterday morning today should be ov day buttttt I'm convinced it happened before that because I only had ewcm a few days before but none the past 3 days 😬. Also we didn't manage to have sex last night only 3 days ago so praying that'll be enough 🙈. Going to drive myself mad this tww I expect haha. Good luck to all waiting too!

@Theresamagicalplace that sounds covered to me! We only DTD 2 days and a day before ovulation and that worked xx

@Capricorn8990 I hope so! Might have to instigate a little something tonight as well just to be sure haha. Thank you for the reassurance though!

@Capricorn8990 only your GP or prescribing clinician can advise on whether you should continue to take your antidepressants. Some are harmful in pregnancy and some don't appear to be. Without knowing which you're on its impossible for anyone to advise (nor should they advise on an Internet forum). Please seek medical advice for this as a matter of urgency!

Soooo 5dpo is an absolutely perfect time to test, yeah?

And it’ll say BFP despite the fact we DTD once and I ovulated on CD9 with an immature egg, yeah?

Yeah?!

The TWW is the worst! 😂

BFN for me this morning at 9DPO. I had quite an intense sharp pain at 11pm last night so hoping that was implantation and the test just wouldn't have picked it up this morning! Going to test again Sunday 14th/Monday 15th--- or probably both knowing me haha.
Also sorry TMI but im still experiencing alot of CM, very unlike me, hoping that is a positive sign! We DTD 3 days before ovulation and the day (well evening) before ovulation so hopefully that was enough.
Sending love to everyone who has had a BFN, but we're not out yet!!! xx

@Decaffe I hear ya!! I'm not sure if I am 6 or 7 DPO, I somehow managed to not test the day after what I now have to assume was my peak (thurs), but it could have been the day after(fri), it came down the day after that tho but still high (sat). Either way we DTD thurs before O so hopefully. I caved and done a test this morning, not even a hint, completely white.

Ye are all so good at noticing symptoms!! I thought I had a bit of cramping in my lower abdomen last night, but it didn't last long it it's the first thing I've noticed and it didn't last long, so could have have been digestion!!

Hey everyone!

Sorry to hear some you got BFNs this morning, but by the sounds of it y'all are really really early to the party anyway, so there's absolutely no reason why those won't turn around in a couple of days' time!

I'm finally joining you in the TWW. 1 DPO today. As mentioned before, because my O was 5 days late this cycle for some reason, in the actual FW we only DTD on O-4 and O-3. Have exactly zero hopes or urge to test this month, but already thinking about the next cycle!
Late O is very unusual for me, and got me a bit freaked out tbh - my cycles are extremely reliable and my apps are always spot on within a day or so, so this is totally out of the ordinary. I wonder whether it means my AF will be delayed as well and this whole cycle will be out of whack? Has this happened to anyone? (for the record, I haven't stopped the pill recently - I've been off of it for 7+ years; and I haven't gotten any new vaccinations either).
I just want AF to come, and my next cycle to be boring and predictable as it always is.

@Danani your luteal phase should stay the same so I’d expect a longer cycle ! Fingers crossed, you did manage to do it in the peak fertility window 😉

I’ve noticed that every other cycle is a bit longer and I’ve read that each of the ovaries can have different luteal phase! How crazy is that 😆

Good luck to everyone in the TWW now!! Hoping to see a good few bfps here over the next couple of weeks

I feel like lots of us are about to test like crazy!

Of course, I broke and tested at 9DPO this morning. BFN :( I know, I know, I know it is too early and there is still a chance, but for my sanity I think I have to release this month unless I am late. AF scheduled for Monday or Tuesday, so we'll see.

Isn't it crazy what we KNOW we should do versus what we actually do??? Aha I am symptom spotting out the wazoo, but I know it is mostly in my head. One weird thing that also happened was my skin has been SO dry. I am talking like the inside of my ears were cracking. I don't think that is a typical symptom, but it was so severe and out of the ordinary that of course it is a sign, right?? Aha

Has anyone else had a hard time maintaining social relationships when TTC? My mind is so preoccupied that I forget to keep invested in other relationships. It is so tough!
