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 🙈😂😂

@Maddie2802 I'm 9dpo today so a few days ahead, I know it's not my month though as we only managed to DTD once which was 2 days before ov as I had covid 😭 so it would be a bit of a miracle if I get a positive! AF is due on the 1st/2nd Nov and I will wait until at least then to test 😊 good luck to you!!

When is the best time to do ovulation tests? I've did one yesterday morning and this morning (cd10 so negative as expected for me) but think I remember not using first urine last time I was ttc?

SkaterChick · 27/10/2021 08:08

Hi @helloworld88 I think in the afternoon after 2ish, try and use a more concentrated wee (so don't wee for an hour or two before hand)
I usually take mine at 5 everyday as I'm almost always home from work by then!

Got the faintest faint line (possibly an evap line, idk) on my opk again yest but my ewcm has gone away... I'm hoping I missed it as I didn't test Saturday when I had the most of it. But who knows, I don't even know if I'd be ovulating yet so soon after MC.

HRHXO · 27/10/2021 08:26

@Maddie2802 hi, I'm 4dpo today so 1 day behind you.

I'm trying so hard not to symptom spot as I know I'll be disappointed if it's all in my head but I've been feeling a bit achey/crampy in my lower abdomen, trouble sleeping, vivid dreams, constipated (sorry this!) and I've had the odd twinge in my boobs. I have implants though so no idea what is normal for me in the boob department anymore lol!

I'm at a Halloween party on Saturday night and need an excuse to not drink as i don't want to risk anything but no idea what to say!

Lianna93 · 27/10/2021 08:43

Good morning ladies,

It looks like I've completely jumped the gun by joining this thread before AF arrived 🙈
I took a test this morning, fully anticipating a BFN. Expected to see AF when I went to the toilet. Expected anything but the two lines on my test.

Didn't quite believe the Mommed cheapie I used, so used my FRER with my SMU and there it is, two pink lines again 🥺

@Danani - thank you so much for your October thread, it truly was lucky 🍀

I wish everyone all the best for November, hopefully this thread will be just as lucky! 💕

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

Ahh @Lianna93 I just messaged you on our other thread! Huge congratulations again, darling!
Now get your butt off this train and on to the pregnancy one!! :) Hope we get equally lucky and pleasantly surprised in November!
Sending you a massive hug huni!!

purpleskyssssss · 27/10/2021 09:18

Huge congrats to you @Lianna93!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ & what a lovely line on your FRER

Danani · 27/10/2021 09:24

Morning all, how is everyone doing today? :)

CD 5 for me today, I have nothing exciting to report, work has been manic, which has kept me pretty busy over the past days and it seems into next week, which would be a nice distraction from the TTC drag. Grin

Excited for my FW to start (supposedly from Monday), I obviously hope for good luck and lots of BD but trying not to go in with massive expectations because it really messes with my head when things don't go as planned, gets me stressed out and upset, and surely that doesn't help when trying to be relaxed and TTC.

@Mummytobe93 happy freaking wedding day!!! Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness together, and the best little gift by the end of the year! :)

HRHXO · 27/10/2021 09:41

@Mummytobe93 happy wedding day! Hope you have a wonderful day I'm so excited for you! I was due to getmarried in Cyprus in July but of course it got cancelled! We have rearranged for 2023.

@Lianna93 very strong lines there congrats!! So happy for you! Did you do anything different or have any symptoms? I'm so so bad I symptom spot from 1 dpo lmao!

Firsttimetrier · 27/10/2021 09:56

Ahh congratulations @Lianna93 ! I’ve been expecting AF for the last two days and got absolutely nothing so far. I bought some femometer pregnancy tests as they were cheap on Amazon but no idea if they are reliable, but they are all reporting BFN. So maybe I’ll go and get a FRER…

Lianna93 · 27/10/2021 10:27

@HRHXO The only thing I really done differently was I was prescribed folic acid for my folate anemia. DTD every 2 days in my fertile window & day of ovulation.

I tried really hard not to symptom spot this month but come about 7dpo, they were getting too strong to ignore.
At 5DPO I was super bloated and gassy (put that down to my ibs) I was super exhausted but I figured that was the anemia.
Started getting right pelvic pain/cramps.
Also had a super runny nose.
Those symptoms continued for a few days but I also got bad acid reflux, insomnia and heart palpitations- again, all thing I could explain away.

By 8dpo my breast started getting sore & bigger, much bigger - think it was a change of about 4 inches but I assumed that was down to AF coming soon.
By 9dpo I was getting a bit nauseous & my appetite had gone. My sex drive also went through the roof for that one day too 😳

From 10dpo my most common symptoms have been camping, breast tenderness, nipple soreness, cold symptoms (runny nose, blocked nose), extreme fatigue, dizziness, headaches & shortness of breath.

I'm now 14dpo and yesterday I ate like an absolute pig, would have thought I hadnt ate for weeks! 😂

@Firsttimetrier definitely get yourself a FRER!
At 10dpo, I had the urge to POAS so I used a cheap Tesco blue dye. I got thee faintest of all lines, so just disregarded it as either evap of a false positive.
Kept telling myself I'd wait until Friday when AF will be truly late but something in me told me to test today.
Didn't expect anything, fully anticipated a BFN, pepped talked myself not to be disappointed and I couldn't have been more surprised!
The FRER came up even stronger than the cheapie & I'm honestly still in disbelief.
I haven't told anyone - except from you guys of course! 😂

I have no idea what to do with myself now & I've got a family party on Saturday where the expectation is for me to drink. Literally have no idea what to do about that 😂😂😂

Sorry that was a super long post! 🙈😂

HRHXO · 27/10/2021 11:12

@Lianna93 aw thank you so much for sharing all of that! It's super helpful. I'm only 4dpo but can't help but overanalyse every bodily sensation. I swear I feel a bit crampy and my boobs get aches/twinges but it's definitely too soon to tell. I have a very runny nose but my office is freezing so it's obviously that! Congratulations again!!

hopefulmumma90 · 27/10/2021 11:54

@Lianna93 wow congratulations 🎉 such great news, thank you for the symptoms that you had it’s always helpful to see what others are x

Firsttimetrier · 27/10/2021 11:55

I’m going to send the husband out to pick some up because I’m sick as a dog, which is also making me think twice as I’ve been ill for about two weeks now, but the last few days have been more flu like symptoms (been hot and cold, waking up sweating, achy).

Even my Flo app is telling me I need to get a test as my period is so consistent 😫

hopefulmumma90 · 27/10/2021 11:59

I’m still waiting for af think I’m due about the weekend time but my cycles day varies sometimes, have such cramps now so thinking she’s got be on the way soon surely
@Firsttimetrier aww yeah should defo get a test fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Shortmamashortcycles · 27/10/2021 12:00

@Mummytobe93, happy wedding day! Hope you're having a blissful time!

@Firsttimetrier, fingers crossed for an FRER miracle!

@Lianna93, eat! In a week or so you may be feeling nauseous so do it while you can! 🤣🤣🤣

ViL89 · 27/10/2021 12:08

Omg @Lianna93 congratulations to you

Maddie2802 · 27/10/2021 12:34

@HRHXO it is so hard to not symptom spot! If I wasn't actively TTC I'd probably think nothing of my symptoms!

Do you have any DC yet or are you trying for your first?

Ooo I always see people say they're taking antibiotics as an excuse not to drink or could you be be designated driver??

Maddie2802 · 27/10/2021 12:36

@sle0911 good luck for you too! It only takes one as they say! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Squiff70 · 27/10/2021 12:55

Aww @Lianna93 congratulations! Wonderful news!

Good luck @Firsttimetrier with your FRER!

Lianna93 · 27/10/2021 13:18

Thank you all for the lovely messages, I'm still in utter disbelief 🥺💕

@hopefulmumma90 I've been cramping non stop for the past week, absolutely convinced I'd wake up to AF. Don't count yourself out just yet 🥰

@Shortmamashortcycles I am DREADING the nausea 😂 I love eating! 😂

@Maddie2802 I may use my anemia as an excuse not to drink 👀 I feel that may be more believable 😂

@Firsttimetrier Good luck with your FRER 🤞🏻🍀

Leibee87 · 27/10/2021 13:20

Congratulations @Lianna93.

Happy Wedding day @Mummytobe93

Cd4 for me. Af almost gone. Start opks again tomorrow (based on a 23 day cycle) though knowing my luck I'll have another 33 day cycle 😂)

IsabelHerna · 27/10/2021 13:24

Good luck to all of you ladies!! Fingers crossed I will be joining you too (I am taking some meds now, and getting testes on 5th. If all goes well, I will be starting on Nov as well!

BoyMum18 · 27/10/2021 13:31

Hello ladies! Waited a while before hopping over to this thread but that's me over a week late for my period and all negative tests so definitely just an irregular period!!! Hopefully this is the month for a lot of us! 🤞🏻

Firsttimetrier · 27/10/2021 13:43

Thanks @Shortmamashortcycles @Lianna93 and @Squiff70 but just did it now and a BFN. I would expect some kind of line at this point?
