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?

@ElleFreddie I was 34 when I had DD, I’m 37 now and DH is 46. I have quite a few friends our age who are pregnant or just had babies 😘

Ladies, can someone please shed some light. 😢😢 so stressed. No idea what the hell is going on! My cycles are usually 26 days, I’m now technically late by 3 days but 1 day over the average 28 day cycle and still getting a negative test xx

@Curlywurly3 yeah I find some days it’s all I can think about and I feel desperate and then others I forget we’re evening trying and those days are such a relief! I guess all the hormones don’t help either as I tend to feel a bit down and anxious after ovulation anyway. I’m glad this month you’re feeling better and more relaxed! Yes @SantiagoSister and I are going to do a test on Friday just to see! Expecting a BFN regardless but it’ll at least help me feel as though we’re getting to the end of the TWW finally.

And aww thanks SantiagoSister, that’s very sweet and does help me to feel better and more positive. I felt like I was in a sad film or something waking past the window 😂😂 anyway it’s a new day today and busy with work so hopefully more positive vibes! Friday is rolling around quite quickly now it feels (watch today go so slowly now ha!) how are you feeling today? X

@hopeful777 I don’t personally use these OPKs, but a Facebook group I’m in use them lots and I read about this happening to people sometimes, the most common given explanation (although I don’t know if this is scientifically proven or anything, maybe it’s just anecdotal) is that sometimes your first LH surge fails and you don’t ovulate at that point, so your body has another go later on in your cycle with the second LH surge. Just a theory but it could make sense I guess.

Welcome to the thread @ElleFreddie! I agree with @Curlywurly3, I tend to count the day after the LH surge (static smiley) as ovulation day. So for me, the day after that is then 1DPO.

@Curlywurly3 so pleased you’re feeling more relaxed about this cycle. It’s so easy to get obsessed with testing. There was a lady on another thread who felt the same as you, thought she’d completely missed her chance this month as she only DTD 4 and 3 days before O, and she got her bfp this month! It just shows that anything can happen doesn’t it 😊 glad you’re going to be super busy until next week, that’ll definitely take your mind off things. Yes we’re going to test Friday, I’m really looking forward to it but trying hard not to get my hopes up 🙈

@WorriedD93 sorry you’re having all this stress of the unknown 😩 it’s so odd isn’t it. Are you tracking BBT to confirm ovulation at all? I have read that sometimes we can have anovulatory cycles where we don’t end up releasing an egg, and it can length our cycles that month. Other than that, I’m stumped I’m afraid 🤔

@Essexnewbie in a sad film 😂😂 that did make me laugh! Glad you’re busy today, I will be too, so that should certainly pass the day for us. Friday is coming!! I’m excited but trying not to get my hopes up. I’m feeling ok today thank you, had another strange dream last night and I’m not sure if it was our talk of ultrasound clinics that did it 😂 I dreamt I was having an ultrasound and the tech said ‘oh there’s two babies here’ and I was so happy!! Let’s hope that’s a premonition 😂🤞🏼 I would love twins. How are you feeling today? X

@SantiagoSister the thing is I’m on clomid which forces ovulation :/ been on it a while xxx

CD1 today...

I’m sorry @CrumchyLeafs ❤️

Oh @WorriedD93, that really doesn’t make any sense does it 😔 what a stressful time, it’s so frustrating when your body doesn’t play ball.

So sorry to hear that @CrumchyLeafs, wishing for a Christmas miracle for you ❤️

I know @SantiagoSister sending lots of love to everyone ❤️

Took a test this morning (11dpo) which was negative but had some (TMI, sorry) very light pink on paper when I wiped this afternoon. AF isn’t due for a week as I have long cycles. Not sure if it could be implantation bleeding??

@MrsLeclerc that sounds very positive if you're not due AF for another week! 11dpo can very often be too early to show on a test. I read that bfp won't show until 48hrs after implantation, so don't lose hope!
@CrumchyLeafs sorry to hear. It is so hard. I always promise myself a huge takeaway coffee or nice cocktail/glass of wine when AF arrives. It helps ease the pain a little!!
8dpo over here. Felt nauseous start to finish yesterday, but it was a very rushed and stressful day from start to finish, so that could explain it! I also had a tiny amount of brown, stretchy CM yesterday in my underwear, but nothing more. AF not due for another 6 days or so, but I've had persistent light cramps since 2dpo. Keeping everything crossed, but deep down I feel like it's not going to be my month! Sending baby dust to everybody!!

@MrsLeclerc and @ali2021 that’s sounding very positive for you both! Here’s hoping that was a bit of implantation bleeding for you both 🤞🏼

7DPO here, not having strong feelings either way whether this will be my month or not. Really hoping it is! Not got many symptoms apart from increased CM and prominent dreams 🤔

I really hope everyone gets lucky with their BFP this month!
But in case not, how do I find the december thread? :)) Yesterday was my last period day so I’m excited for a new chance!

@CrumchyLeafs sorry to hear that! ❤️ Here’s hoping for an extra special Christmas present!

@SantiagoSister ooh I hope that’s a premonition too!! You never know. Can’t believe tomorrow we can say it’s Friday tomorrow! This week is going quite fast for me luckily, I hope it is for you too. I’ve been feeling mostly okay mind wise today it’s just evenings when the doubts start creeping in. Physically just still increased CM and so so tired but that could just be general life 😂 A little bit off my food but think that could also be normal PMS and work stress 🤷🏼‍♀️ Is it best to test in the morning do you know? Not done this bit before!! X

@SantiagoSister keeping everything crossed for you! I find myself having to reign back to excited fantasy moment of finally getting a BFP and getting back to living in the moment! @Essexnewbie I agree, this week has flown in thankfully. Weekend will be here before we know it!!

*reign back the excited fantasy

@alexalexalex18

I really hope everyone gets lucky with their BFP this month! But in case not, how do I find the december thread? :)) Yesterday was my last period day so I’m excited for a new chance!

When you find out, please let me know. I'm currently in my TWW. I'm better suited to December thread x

Thanks @alexalexalex18! I’m not too sure regarding a December thread, I know there is one thread going already and lots of the people from another November thread I’m following have gone over to that one, I’ll copy the link below if you were interested 😊 otherwise I guess we could make our own thread for the guys on this one to go across to?

@Essexnewbie I can’t believe it either actually, it’s gone really quickly. I’m so glad it’s going quick for you too and that you’ve felt ok mind wise today. Hopefully the evening has been ok for you too and you haven’t been worrying too much. I’m so happy to say tomorrow is finally Friday!! I’ve had a busy day/evening and only just getting to bed 🥱 but it does help the time pass! Ooh I think your symptoms are all sounding very positive 🤞🏼 It’s annoying how similar pregnancy symptoms are to PMS isn’t it, but I think it’s good to be aware of them so we can learn our bodies better. No new symptoms for me really, had a few sharp little pains around my womb earlier this evening, but unfortunately I have endometriosis so pelvic pain is a part of my daily life and I can’t really use that as reliable symptom 😐 so the tests say to use first morning urine, but when I got my bfp last time it was around 3:30pm when I tested. So I’m thinking I might try and hold out until the afternoon 🤞🏼 How about you? Do you think you’ll test in the morning? X

@ali2021 ah thank you so much! 😊 totally with you on the bfp fantasising, so easy to get drawn into that day dream 🥰 let’s hope it’ll be more than a daydream for us all come the weekend/next week, wishing you lots of luck and baby dust! ✨

@alexalexalex18 @ttcbabya this is the December thread the ladies from the other thread I was following have gone on to, up to you whether you fancy joining in with that one or we could make our own 😊

I’m out. AF arrived this morning a week early! . I’ll keep an eye out for the Dec thread.

Good luck to those still waiting on the bfp. Fingers crossed for you.

So sorry to hear that @MrsLeclerc 😔 wishing you lots of luck for your next cycle ✨

So ladies.. I’m really fighting the urge to test today 😂 I’m so impatient.. I only have to wait until tomorrow which was when I said I would start testing! I know the chances of a bfp at 8DPO are so small so I do need to wait!

@SantiagoSister I caved and did a test this morning!! Even though we’re so close now 😂 negative obviously….do whatever you feel you need to do though! I can’t believe it’s Friday tomorrow, didn’t think the day would ever come. Totally agree it’s really good to know our bodies better and pay attention, but yes so annoying isn’t it that the symptoms are so similar. I’ve come down with a horrid cold today too so now I feel like I can’t trust any of the symptoms as it could all just be run down/PMS! How are you feeling today? Sorry to hear about the endometriosis and pelvic pain being a daily thing for you 😔 x

@MrsLeclerc sorry to hear that! Everything crossed for you for next month ❤️

@Essexnewbie so glad it wasn’t just me who was tempted!!! 😂 sorry to hear it was negative but of course there’s still hope! 🤞🏼 I have managed to hold off at the moment (god knows how) but I might be tempted this afternoon 🙈 argh how horrible you have a cold now, it’s really doing the rounds. But they do say your immune system is lower when you conceive so here’s hoping for you 🤞🏼 Hope you feel better soon. I’ll report back if I cave 😂 x

I also caved. Negative but I still had hope.
I'm on IUI 3 but I have started spotting at 9dpo/10dpo.
Does anyone else get super frustrated with their body.
I ovulate, my progesterone seems fine, but I seem to start spotting at 9 orc10 each cycle.
Sometimes I just get so frustrated 😧🙄
