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 🙈😂😂

@FlyOnTheWall89 I got some tests done in August. We're both all fine and it made me more relaxed so recommend it best of luck

Hi everyone! Would love to join in as everyone is so supportive. I'm TTC no 1, CD 20 and think I'm about 6-8 DPO. Going to try to hold off testing until AF is due on the 2nd!

Hoping this is a lucky month for everyone!

@Mummytobe93 they’ve been looking at me in the draw all week I just couldn’t help myself 😂 no self control of course lol.

Hi everyone! 👋🏻 joining from October after a surprise 37 (!!!) day cycle and not unsurprisingly missing my fertile window by some margin last month. I’m due to ovulate between 4-10th November (using Flo to calculate) but as my cycles are all over the place we’re planning to DTD regularly from the end of this period to the start of the next one. Next AF due anytime between 23-30th November, this is cycle 4 for #2 and after sending myself half mad and getting quite depressed using FRERs I’m resolutely NOT testing until I’m late for the next AF. I’m literally giving DH my tests to confiscate 😂 good luck and baby dust everyone xxx

Morning all, I'm wither 1 or 2DPO, 2 if we go off apps and 1 if we go off CM. I had loads of EWCM over the weekend but only DTD Friday night and every other day before. I just don't have it in me to DTD anymore lol! AF due on 6th so I'm officially on the TWW!

Definitely here now. Af in full swing and kept me up half the night. Looks like FW starts on 4th with ovulation on the 10th.

I'm so cryey. Cried yesterday on and off because of no Bfp then cried this morning at David Attenboroughs face. Just cause he's so cute and wonderful 😂 I forgot what hormones did to me 😂

Morning all! How is everyone doing today?

@Mummytobe93 - just wanted to say - Happy (almost) Wedding Day! I'm sure you will have the bestest time and all the stress would be totally worth it! I'm very excited for you this cycle because I can imagine how much both of you will be in the mood after the wedding! Very very exciting!!! :))) Btw, is this cycle 2 for you, hun?

@Donthaveaclue1, I'm with the others - can't quite see anything, and 6 DPO is beyond early. Give it till Wed morning, at 8 DPO while still super early, you may get a better reading, especially if you see something now. Fingers crossed!

CD 3 over here and AF has slowed down. I imagine tomorrow will be last day and probably will be more spotting than anything else.
My week seems to be Nov 1- Nov 7 with O predicted for Nov 6! So not long to go now. I hope we're both in the mood for a lot more BD-ing than last cycle, and also I feel like we stopped a bit too soon last time, so I am hoping we make the most of it this time around. This will be cycle 3 for us! (lucky number 3?).
Is anyone else in sync?

Good for you @ohmybaby AF is due on Sunday for me I also won't be testing all week and away at the weekend so will make it easier

CD 24 for me so I'm straddling October and November!

Absolutely no symptoms apart from spotting on Saturday night which was CD22 (6/7 DPO) which hasn't reoccurred.

For those who have got BFPs in the past can I ask when if ever you got sore boobs. I remember having them when I conceived when I was very young but no idea what DPO that was.

Happy Monday to you all hope anyone else in their 2ww is holding strong and those in a new cycle having comfort in a renewed opportunity

Xx

@ViL89 with my first pregnancy. I had sore boobs from 9dpo and they were excruciating. I had a mmc though.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I didn't get sore boobs until around 6 weeks and they were only mildly sore the whole time. I was so surprised when I found out I was pregnant because I assumed the symptoms would be the same!

Happy Monday Team TTC!! How are you all this week?

@Mummytobe93 hope the run up to wedding is going smoothly and you’re looking forward to Wednesday!

Can I ask what, if anything, you all are planning to try and do differently this month? Having half assumed I would come off contraception and magically become pregnant instantaneously, I’m giving it a wee bit more thought this cycle!

Post covid jab and implant removal, my cycles are a bit mad. So without opks (I get obsessive so think I need to try and avoid tracking at this stage!) I’m just winging it here. Planning to just treat the entire between-AF period as if it were fertile window and DTD as much as we can.

Otherwise I’m just all “healthy body healthy mind” this month. I struggle with work stress so am focusing on managing stress, looking after my mental health and generally eating well etc. I have my first reflexology session next week, so we’ll see how that goes!

Wishing you all a fertile November 😂

@Danani I think I’m just a couple of days ahead of you! Fertile week predicted from
29th-4th with ovulation day predicted to be the 3rd. I’ve ovulated a week late the past couple of months but I think my apps have compensated for this as they have predicted a 35 day cycle for me. I’ve been doing OPKs daily though just to get a better understanding. And like you, I think we stopped too early last time also. I stopped testing when I got my peak but now I’m wondering if I’ve been missing my true peak 🤷🏼‍♀️ Good luck for this cycle! 😊

@Danani FW starts on 4th with ovulation due on 10th so kinda close but my cycle is all over the place. Last month was 33 days, this month 23 days 😒

@Digby86 my plan is to do opks, keep trying to temp at same time each day if poss. Dtd every other day between Afs. We shall see. I do need to lose weight and also destress so maybe just look after myself a bit more this month

@Mummytobe93 i would wait another few days with testing as it may still be false negative at this stage! Fingers crossed for you.

@Danani sorry AF arrived :( I'll keep my fingers crossed for you this month ❤️❤️🍀🍀 third time is a charm!

@ViL89 fingers crossed!

@Digby86 we're going to use pre-seed lube, trying to do SMEP (without much pressure if we can't keep up) and taking vitamins. Also started tracking BBT this month :)

I'm already on CD18 and still to peak on OPK... I'm starting to think I may not even ovulate this cycle as they are fairly regular and I'm already late with ovu comparing to last month... but we shall wait and see, will be a bummer if it's not happening this month!

Happy Monday everyone!

Hi, can I join?
TTC baby number 2. We conceived DS after a month of trying so naively assumed this time might be the same but my period arrived this morning! :(

Hopping on here too...not 100% out of October yet as not due on until the weekend but zero symptoms so pretty sure I'll be going again in November.

Might try and keep it a bit more casual in November though, I am finding the stress of fertile week too much tbh!! Famous last words though, sure I'll have the old OPKs out next week again.

Can I ask what, if anything, you all are planning to try and do differently this month? Having half assumed I would come off contraception and magically become pregnant instantaneously, I’m giving it a wee bit more thought this cycle!

@Digby86 Can't speak for the coming month, but this month I have used Pre-Seed where possible and also inserted my menstrual cup after sex during fertile week to try and help stop so much leakage. Don't know if it made any difference though as I have no symptoms at all, guessing I'm out this month too :(

@Danani thanks lovely! Yes, I’d say it’s a cycle #2 for us …

@Digby86 this cycle I want to start DTD earlier than last time, so before I even feel the ovulation is approaching. I should ovulate on the 2nd or the 3rd of November so I aim to DTD at least every other day starting on the 28th until after my OPK peak :)

Hi @BH1926. I'm sorry to hear about your chemical. How are you feeling about it?

Our cycles are in sync. I'm also on CD4, due to reach my peak on 5th November and have (usually) a 28 day cycle.

Oops. Think I might have been on an earlier page there thinking that post was at the top. Sorry!

Hello! I’ve started spotting this morning, so AF is coming into town, which I’m weirdly happy about.

I’ve got so much going on this cycle that I’m going to be distracted during the TWW. Plus, everything has weirdly aligned and started on CD1, so I’m taking this as a sign that this is the start of new beginnings!

@Digby86 yes definitely doing things differently this month. For DD we did it every day for 2 weeks 😂 which is definitely easier to do when you have no children!

This time around we’ll do the same as you, just treat any day I’m not on as a potentially fertile day (without stressing about it if possible). Otherwise I really need to focus on my health and wellbeing. I’ve been awful with hydration, diet… so going to really really prioritise self care this month, in the hope it helps and gets me in good habits for pregnancy, too. I’m reading a lot about what to eat and found these helpful….

Hey, would it be okay if I join in? I was lurking on the October one and decided to jump over to this one
I’m due on in a couple of days but I’m exactly the same as I normally am, and have slight cramps which means af will be here soon
We’re defo the coq10 tablets next cycle just to see if they help make any difference, we already changed our diets to healthier last month so willing to try anything really

@ohmybaby I’m on a kick health too as I’ve eaten so poorly recently! My gym does six week challenges and the last one of the year started today, so I’ve joined and hoping I stick to it!

Just got an appointment through for the NHS Subfertility clinic to attend next week. Really hoping it will be a case of getting pregnant in the meantime though! Has anyone else been?

@Danani I’m CD4 today so just a day ahead of you. Started bbt this month and already missed Sunday morning because I’d had a drink Saturday night 😫🤣 xx
