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?

You can’t bottle up your emotions and you shouldn’t, go with them lovely and your certainly not alone I for 1 get to far ahead and your not going insane. Is your partner supportive as you need to be able to lean on someone and talk through your feelings. Everything your feeling is valid. Tomorrow is another day sweetheart, get yourself a warm drink and head up to bed. Xxx

@Billymay climbed into bed now, he checks in on me but we don’t really talk about it as I cry and he deals with things different to me. Guna resist till Saturday at least 5 days prior to AF so hoping it my month, still getting like pinching feeling I’m my tummy but it comes and goes xxx

Also ladies, if anyone is wanting to follow my fertility journey I have a group on FB called my journey, fertility treatment, miscarriage and ectopic. I’ve posted a lot about seeing my doctors etc. Only if you want to look tho! Xxxx

@SantiagoSister haha I also have zero patience and I’m a terrible control freak so this is probably my least ideal situation to be in ever - despite it being more than I’ve ever wanted!! That’s good you have some plans, I’m the same for the weekend but it’s the weekday evenings that are the slow overthinking problem time! We’ve got this 💪🏼 Can you talk to DH or do you feel you have to hold back? I’m worried about going on too much…

@WorriedD93 crossing everything for you and sending you all the baby dust! X

Hi, first time posting but I’m loosing my mind.

Little background I am TTC#3 I have a 6 year old and an angel 👼🏻 I never got to hold… I had a MMC at 14 weeks 3 years ago which hit me really hard I spiralled into depression, I couldn’t come to terms with having another baby I wanted the baby I had lost so much!! Finally felt ready to try again in July this year and here I am.

I have short cycles (23 days) so usually ovulate on CD 10/11 this month I ovulated late CD18.. I’m on CD29, 11DPO no AF and BFN when I tested this morning with FR. I’ve never experienced late ovulation (as I know of, but don’t take much notice when not TTC) so I don’t know what my body is doing or when AF is due to arrive it’s been driving me insane I’ve been wearing black pants to work all week In fear AF will arrive!! the longer she doesn’t the more I symptom spot I go through stages of getting me hopes up and then bringing myself back down.

Am I losing my mind?! This came up this morning I’d say 10 mins after I took it?! Yesterday midday was negative but wasn’t an early response one 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Cruzxo I would say that’s a positive! Congratulations to you. How many dpo are you? Xxx

@Cruzxo I’d say that’s positive congratulations! Xxx

Thank you @Essexnewbie xxx

@JessicaMayyy there’s still time do try not to stress! Xxxx

Can someone please talk me out of going to the shop and buying some tests! I'm only 8DPO but have so many symptoms and just feel pregnant but it's so likely to show up! I've picked my keys up so many times this morning but each time get closer and closer to going! 🙈

@Cruzxo definitely positive! Congratulations!

I tested I’m about 9dpo and got a BFN xxx

Caved 🤦🏻‍♀️
There is a vvvvfl in real life but can't see it on photos so maybe just an indent line! Will try again on Saturday like I was supposed to!

@Natalie2304 I can see a very faint positive!

Ah I wrote a post and it never came onto the thread.

Here we go again.

So my flo app is suggested a 34 day cycle this month which is super long for me it's usually 29 which would be today. I've had pink tinge after wiping and I've a sore head and cramping.

Positive ovulation on 7th November red circle in picture

Do we think the app is wrong with a 34 day clyce or is the feeling today AF?

I have no idea! Why would it generate such a long cycle this month?

Oh @Essexnewbie were so on the same page! Sounds like we’re both major Type A’s 🙈 I’m glad you have some plans to keep you busy at the weekend too, I agree it’s the weekdays that are going to pass so slowly. We are now officially 1 DPO 🎉 luckily I am able to speak to DH about it, but like you I am wary of going on too much, so try not to unleash my full crazy on to him lol how about you, are you able to talk to DH or have anyone else you’re close to?

@JessicaMayyy welcome! So sorry to hear about your angel. Well done for pulling yourself out of that dark place, it’s a horrible place to be. Sounds like you’ve had a bit of a wacky cycle this time, there is still time for a bfp to come along and you’re not out until AF arrives. It’s really difficult when you don’t know what’s going on with your body, especially when you’re trying your best to TTC 😔

@Cruzxo wow that certainly looks positive! Maybe try another tomorrow and see if it comes up in the time frame just to be sure?

Sorry for the bfn @Natalie2304 and @WorriedD93, I hope you both haven’t got too disheartened as there’s still time for your bfps to show up! 🤞🏼

@Natalie2304 I caved yesterday and got a BFN as well so know how you feel but we're still in the game! I'm going to test tomorrow like I was planning to, will keep my fingers crossed for Saturday for you xx

10dpo and bfn this morning. I think my husbands swimmers have been diverted or gone to the shops and forgot what they were getting 🙄

I took my implant out in June , I missed my period in June and had none in July. Then had a period 12-16th of August then my next 2 cycles were both exactly 32 days long (period started on the 33rd day) so next period was September 13-17th then October one was 15-18th. The October one was only 4 days long and very minimal bleeding... Now I should have started my period on the 15/16th regarding to Flo app based on predictions from last 2 cycles so I'm 2 days late.

Last couple of days my boobs are extremely sore to touch and I had shooting pains in my lower belly on and off for the last week or two. I've been quite bloated lately and moody too.. But that can all be period related symptoms 😒
My sense of smell is very strong , things I usually didn't mind are so bad now and yesterday I walked in to the toilet after my partner been for 💩 and walked out so quickly as I felt sick... The hunger and the smell thing never happen before period.

This might sound weird but two other things are that one of my dogs behaves like she did when I was pregnant with my daughter, she layed by me and when one of our other 2 dogs came closer she started growling at them.. this didn't happen since my daughter was born...
Another thing yesterday my daughter was feeding her baby and said the milk finished and I told her to go get another bottle from her bag and she demanded I give milk from my boob 😳 I have no idea where she got it from because she can't remember being fed like this as it was only couple of days and she's my only child and never seen any other baby being breastfed.

I've done 2 tests this morning and clear blue had a second line clearly visible but faint. Red dye cheap ones from eBay I couldn't see second line at all. I've ordered first response tests and will be testing in couple of days again.
I've got photos of these tests but because I was doing them at 5am it's hard to see anything on the photos due to the light..

Just don't know what to do because someone told me that clear blue tests are common for evap line but this was a line that appeared within the time stated in the instructions ... It wasn't after I've left it for a period of time... I does my head in 😫

@Cmacq32 my Flo app has done the same with mine this month, it's predicted a 32 day cycle when mine are usually 28 days.

Have your last few cycles been slightly longer or shorter? I noticed mine was normal last month but longer the month before so I wonder if that's put it out slightly?

@Billymay I'm sorry about your BFN but your comment about his swimmers going to the shop & forgot what they were getting made me chuckle

@Cruzxo

Am I losing my mind?! This came up this morning I’d say 10 mins after I took it?! Yesterday midday was negative but wasn’t an early response one 🤷🏼‍♀️

I had exactly the same thing this morning but mine was within 4 minutes just like it is supposed to be regarding to instructions but I done the test around 5am and because of light in the bathroom can't really see the line on pics I took 😒

🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant. Still plenty of time for them to find their way 😬

@MummyBear405 I will keep everything crossed for you for tomorrow my lovely!
I'm sure there's a very faint line on mine but pictures aren't showing it so I've asked my sister to come around to check it too 😂🙈

I've had the same this month with my app! Says I'll have a 31 day cycle which I've never ever had! So just going on what I usually have and hoping for the best!

@Billymay you're comment 😂😂😂 did make me laugh! Still not out yet though! Maybe they did come back from the shops!

@Di98 I'd wait for your FRER to come and try to relax until then! I know it's hard. I'm in the same situation where I have so many symptoms and it's driving me mad!

I hadn't been logging them as I was TTC so the app is 29 days. Fair point though as I was keeping track.
I think when I entered my ovulation info the algorithm rebooted, I did have a layer ovulation so perhaps that's taken it into account? I've only had 1 period that was 34 days and that was the first one after I ahad baby. The rest have been 'normal'.

Who knows. I guess it AF arrives today or tomorrow I'll know 😬 this wait is always the worst!

@Billymay haha I loved your comment too! We need some humour sometimes, it’s so easy to get bogged down with the anxiety and sad days. But agreed, there is still time for them to reach their destination!

@SantiagoSister yes type A sounds about right!! A blessing and a curse…yes I can talk to DH too but also I’m wary of going on too much so I try and be a bit choosy with the thoughts I share and have a journal for the rest which really helps. I don’t know about you but I feel really relieved today to be on the other side of ovulation?? Knowing there’s nothing else we can do at this point is quite a weight off, I found the last few days exhausting! X

@Essexnewbie that’s a great idea about the journal, at least you can get all your thoughts out through writing. I imagine that’s really helpful. It’s a lot better than bottling them up for sure. I definitely agree, I feel so relieved now too. It’s like we’ve done all we can, and it’s out of our hands now. We just have to be patient (ha) and wait to see if we’ve been lucky! 🙏🏻🤞🏼 Today is already going so slowly.. this is going to be a long TWW 🙈
