[SantiagoSister]

Hi all, just thought I’d make a lead on thread from the TTC NOVEMBER 2021 group for us all to continue on. Wishing you the best of luck for a lovely little Christmas miracle ✨🎅🏼

[Keepingmyfingerscrossed]

@Hayls07 i hope you get your Christmas present this year!! Let me know how you get on this month! I do have a positive feeling for you though! so keep me posted!

Hi all, hope it’s okay to join, I’m new to posting here after been lurking for a while!

I’m 6 DPO and DTD around my peak (I’ve been using ovulation tests) I wasn’t hopeful as it’s our first go but for the past few days I’ve been bloated, got very faint cramps and the odd pinching feeling in my belly, I know it’s super early but hoping this is something!

Wishing you all the best Christmas gifts!

[Keepingmyfingerscrossed]

@newjourney21and yes! Like you, I usually get symptoms like cramps, bloating a day or two before my periods. And mostly it starts with diarrhoea. This time it has been little different. I have had a bunch of things completely new to me in the whole tww period. But as I said, I’ll just wait and see what happens am hoping a bfp for you so keep me posted! 🙌🏻

[Keepingmyfingerscrossed]

@Sjmc16 might be implantation?? Although it might be little early for you to know but you never k ow! Some women do get their bfps quite early! So keep a track of your symptoms and let us know. Hope your get your good news soon 😊🥰

[Glago2017]

@Keepingmyfingerscrossed fingers crossed this is a good sign for you. 🤞🤞
No not really had any symptoms, felt a bit heavy down the bottom of my stomach on and off but thats about it. I don't know if I have experienced that before and just not thought anything of it. 💁‍♀️ just gotta wait it out, hoping the xmas preparation will keep my mind busy. X

[Keepingmyfingerscrossed]

@Glago2017 oh I k ow this feeling! I feel we become more aware of any slightest change happening to us the more we read about them or notice them.. I overanalyse tbh 😅

[newjourney21]

@Keepingmyfingerscrossed yes defo with you on feeling my body doing things a bit differently this month! Best of luck to you keep me updated too when do you plan on testing?x

[KidVV]

Hello, can anyone explain whats happening to me. Its my first time TTC. I have regular monthly periods. My last period was Nov 15. I had unprotected sex since Nov 21, my last was sex Nov 28. I know its too early to tell but I really want to get pregnant and I am not sure if im just imagining things. I have lower abdominal and back pains (like pre-menstual pain) I have white discharge, i feel bloated and whats really odd is that i suddenly dislike coffee. im a coffee lover and now I just cant make myself to drink it. I dont have nausea or vomiting but i always have headaches. i sometimes cry and then I am happy again and then I get sad again. Still waiting for the day i can finally get a test. T_T This waiting game is so hard.

Hi all, this is my 2nd month ttc number 2. I have a little boy that is 2. The first time we fell pregnant, it was a real shock so this is really the first time trying to conceive. Didn’t realise so much went into it 😆

I am using ovulation sticks. Used them for the first time last month but wasn’t really sure what I was doing. My lines getting darker. Dtd night before last but feel the need to really get on it now. My little boys been hit with a dreaded sickness bug so hoping we all don’t get it. Keeping everything crossed. Best of luck to everyone

Hi all, checking in! Thanks @SantiagoSister for the new December thread. I got a bit confused by the December threads that were started on Nov 5th?!

Anyway, 1dpo here. Have first NHS hospital fertility phone call next week so not really expecting anything this month, reckon we are in for the long haul! DH had a potential Covid scare over my fertile window so we didn’t DTD as much as I’d hoped (as he wanted to social distance so I didn’t catch it 😣) anyway we still managed to buy a couple of lottery tickets, as we put it!

Actually my next fertile window is just before NYE so I’m in with two chances this month all being well 🎄

[Hayls07]

@keepingmyfingerscrossed cant wait to hear the results when you test, hoping for that BFP. 👶

@kidVV all sounds promising!! When are you going to test? I can test from Wednesday but I'm holding on until Saturday!

[Keepingmyfingerscrossed]

Okay guys, just felt like I have to msg! I have sore boobs and sensitive nipples (on and off), small lumps sort of a thing around my nipples, very low on energy today, got up with a terrible reflux this morning.. couldn’t sleep for an hour or so. Was quite uncomfortable. Have been feeling gassy and constipated since yesterday so had laxative last night. Doesn’t feel like it’s working (it always does), on top of all this, I feel like I am having thrush or some sort of infection down there last 214 days now. It is itchy or swollen or uncomfortable, but sometimes you just feel when something different is going down there right? A couple of times, I also felt very weird near my cervix like a swab was taken of something. Again, not painful or uncomfortable but you would just feel like something just touched it lightly.

I am two days away from my af. I don’t have a testing kit at home but I had some leftover ovulation strips. It was my very first time that I bought something like that and It never showed me peak!! It was a pack of 7. So I am thinking either it isn’t a good one or basically I just missed my fertile window?? Anyway, so I decided to test with one of the ovulation strips and it showed me very very faint line. I tested because a lot of women say if you are pregnant an opk can show a very dark line.. but it’s so faint! I feel so gutted thinking this isn’t my month 😞

[Keepingmyfingerscrossed]

I will just list down the symptoms I am having (totally new for me):

Mild headache,
Not exactly heartburn but yes pain in breastbone when you have reflux
Knee pain
Sore boobs
Tired
Just feeling sick but not sick

Thanks for starting this thread
Currently 10dpo ttc#2. DD turned 1 twks ago. She's still breastfeeding so didn't symptom check.
Tested at 6am today and got this

Not making much out of it tho.

[MummyBear405]

@peanutbaba our DD turns 2 next month so they must be quite close in age! I'm glad we decided to use OPKs as I think we would have missed it otherwise. Let me know how you get on 

@Cmacq32 aww amazing! Happy 1st birthday to her  I think they know that you want another one and decide to try & stop it from happening ha!

@Justkeepswimming20 toddlers are full on aren't they? You're quite far into your TWW then, when are you planning to test?

@Whoknew22 I can totally relate, our first pregnancy came out of the blue! I'm so shocked how small a window there is to actually get pregnant! Sending you lots of baby dust this month!

[Cmacq32]

@Jujules20
That's exciting 🤞our DD must be close in age, she turned 1 on 23rd November. She is also BF so I'm not holding out much hope for a quick #2! I appear to be ovulating late since BF compared to before. Good luck!

[Justkeepswimming20]

@MummyBear405 i am 6/7 dpo..very hard not to symptom spot!..i can't remember with my first as had a MC just before so things were different then..i'm 35 now so worried it will be more difficult this time..think i will test next mon as AF due on 14th

[MummyBear405]

@Justkeepswimming20 I'm terrible for symptom spotting so I don't think you're alone there. I'm convinced I had ovulation pain on Friday but I've never had it before and I'm wondering if it's just because I knew I was ovulating soon so my brain is making stuff up?

Wow you have way more restraint than me! AF is due on 17th for me but I'll probably test next Monday as well.

Fingers crossed for you x

Hi girls, can I join I was on the November thread. Xx

14/11 so close indeed!
You're right I noticed since august that I ovulate on cd15 rather the 13 I used to be. But am not going at tracking or checking symptoms so I just go with the flow
Am surprised to find another faint line at 12:30
We'll have to wait and see

[Anotherboy]

I'm 14 dpo today, cd 28 (usually 21 day cycle). Had a few faint positives on ic yesterday and this today. I was negative on Friday, when I started what I thought was my period. Been bleeding the past three days, heavy but not as heavy as my usual period, and very stop start. Fingers crossed this one sticks and is not a chemical, and that the bleeding is nothing to worry about! I had a chemical a couple of months ago, not expected at 39 I suppose.

How are you doing today? The line looks good 😊. Hope the bleeding has stopped by now.

[Anotherboy]

Good thanks. Still bleeding a little and cramps, but line is slowly getting stronger on ic! Only time will tell.

How are you getting on?
