TTC NOVEMBER 2021

[Lua2020]

Well… AF came and got me in a big way today so on to the next cycle anyone else TTC November 2021?

@Sylviasocks hello from another person on the first month TTC #1. Sorry to hear AF arrived, I’m expecting the same next week to be honest. But as @WorriedD93 says, don’t be disheartened! And as someone on this thread said to me, maybe it will be a nice Christmas present next month instead! X

@Essexnewbie that’s a lovely way to think of it

Thank you both for your lovely messages, the whole TTC thing is such an odd mixture of emotions! You’re right though, it’s early days and I wasn’t expecting it but there was part of me that thought “what if?”. Fingers are now crossed for December 🤞

@Sylviasocks welcome! I am also on my first cycle having just come off the pill. Good luck on your journey!

Withdrawal bleed finished today so excited to crack on with this month. I know first month is unlikely but I will not lose hope!

Woo I have finally got my peak on my CB fertility monitor, CD19!! Assuming this means I will ovulate tomorrow. I’m so pleased, I was really worried it wasn’t going to happen! Have BD’d Friday, Saturday, Monday and today, hoping it’s enough for that bfp 🙏🏻

@SantiagoSister sounds super promising and I have my fingers toes everything crossed for you!

Meanwhile it deffo looks like my line is fainter than my positive 3/4 days ago :/ I have called the EPAU and need to go in tomorrow as regardless as I shouldn’t be getting a positive test 4 weeks post miscarriage. They have asked me to bring a urine sample but I’m hoping they do bloods or something as well! Has anyone experienced this? At least I will have my answer whether it’s a new pregnancy or lingering hcg from the miscarriage tomorrow🤞🤞🤞

@SantiagoSister I'm so glad you've finally OV'd! Good luck to you in your TWW.

7DPO here and having an off day. Woke up feeling crap, have a sore throat and just feel fed up. Have mild thrush starting which I usually get before AF, although I'm sure I also had it when I found out i was pregnant with DD (or maybe I'm just wishful thinking)
CM is creamy but not tons of it. Still have a strong sense of smell, fuller boobs and also have backache this morning.
I was so positive yesterday and was completely in the zone of this is my month, but today im total opposite and sure im out. I guess you're not out until your out though xx

@gvs97 I'm sorry that you are going through this turmoil but I'm hoping they will do bloods for you too. You can always ask them to if they don't offer straight away. Sending lots of love xx

@Natalie2304 thank you so much💕 this thread is full of such lovely people! I appreciate your kind words so much☺️

We DTD this morning! 🎉 DH still not feeling great but took one for the team! Still had a flashing smiley today but expect to get my static later today.

@gvs97 your head must be all over the place 😔 glad you’ve got an appointment at the EPAU so you can get some answers x

Thank you @Curlywurly3 it really is but one more day and then I will know! Good on him for taking one for the team, sounds promising so fingers crossed! X

@gvs97 aww bless you, so sorry your going through this, hoping you get some answers and you can request bloods if they don’t offer it xxx

@Natalie2304 I’ve woke today and my symptoms seem to have gone. So confused now, it’s 7days till AF, maybe they were ovulation symptoms no idea.

@SantiagoSister so pleased you got your peak and @Curlywurly3 so happy you were able to BD!! Well done other half haha. Hope he feels better soon. @gvs love to you too.

I think I’ll ovulate today so will BD one last time for good measure and hope that I’ve done enough! Then the dreaded wait begins. Sending sooo much baby dust to everyone!!

Thank you all so much! I am so relieved 😊

@gvs97 so sorry to hear you’re still in this position of not knowing quite what’s going on. I’m glad you’re going to get checked out tomorrow, really hoping you can get some answers 🤞🏼

@Natalie2304 sorry you’re having an off day today, bloody hormones 🙄 your symptoms sound positive though, let’s hope maybe you’ve implanted today and that’s caused a rush of hormones which have made you feel like this. You’re absolutely not out till AF arrives though as you say, let’s hope she doesn’t 🤞🏼

@Essexnewbie we’re cycle twins!! We’ll both be starting the dreaded TWW tomorrow together. Well done for BDing one last time for god measure, we’re shattered now and need a break so hoping last nights swimmers are still hanging around for today lol wishing you all the best! 🤞🏼✨

@Essexnewbie *good measure!!

@SantiagoSister aww that’s nice to know! When would AF be due for you? I hope ours never arrive this month though 😂 To be honest I don’t think we would both BD one last time but I’ve been using Natural Cycles for nearly a year and it seems to always think I OV a few days later than all the OPKs have been suggesting. I think my temp must just rise a little bit slowly perhaps! Who knows! X

@gvs97 let us know how you get on lovely, will be thinking of you. You definitely need some answers so I’m glad you can hopefully get them today.
I’m 9dpo, I done a test and nothing… I know it’s still quite early but I just don’t feel like I am now. It’s annoying how your brain messes with you and makes you think otherwise. At least that’s given me the kick up the backside to not test till missed period but I just think af will be here this month. Xxx

@Essexnewbie I’m not too sure as my cycles have been a bit all over the place since losing my little one, but I think I should be due AF around the 30th November/1st December. I know I won’t be able to wait until then to test though, I got my bfp last time at 9DPO so I will start testing again then this time (even though I know it’s so early) as I’m too impatient! That’s odd about the differences between the Natural Cycles and your OPKs, like you say, maybe your temp just rises a bit later than usual? But by continuing to BD regardless you would have covered all bases, so I definitely think you’re in with a good chance this month 🤞🏼

@SantiagoSister yeah AF should be due for me on the 30th also…I’m relieved to hear you say you won’t be able to wait because I don’t think I will either and I was feeling bad! I might try 9DPO too and just bear in mind it could be wrong, but also not to get my hopes up. I have everything crossed for you after your loss, you deserve it! X

Can't believe this happened this morning!

@AliceAnnie amazing congratulations! How many dpo are you if you don’t mind me asking xxxx

@AliceAnnie congrats!!

@AliceAnnie massive congratulations to you!!! How many dpo are you? Have you had many symptoms? Such a wonderful feeling when you see the words come up. Xxx

@Essexnewbie aw thank you so much, that’s really kind of you. It’s so hard to be patient isn’t it. We can test together on 9DPO, it’ll give us something to look forward to! As you say, if it’s negative it doesn’t mean we’re out, but if it’s positive, it’s a few less days to wait to find out 🙈 a lady on another thread posted this link and I found it so helpful, you choose your DPO day and it tells you the likelihood of you getting a bfp if you are pregnant. At 9DPO there’s only a 47.5% chance a test will show positive, so there’s still plenty of time to get our bfps after that if we don’t get them then.
