Trying for a November baby 🎇🍁🥮

[BiscuitLover3678]

Af arrived!

Anyone else about to start TTC a November baby?

@Coastaldreamer I have a clear blue digital, but I have ordered some cheap opks to see what’s going on first as I don’t want to waste the digital if I’m not going to ovulate. I had a chemical before my son and then had 2 months I didn’t ovulate, but then I ovulated after my 7 week miscarriage as normal, so no idea what to expect this time. Hopefully we will both just go back to our normal cycles 🤞🏻

Wishing everyone all the best with this cycle. Unfortunately AF arrived and I’m on cycle day 2. On my 6month now and starting to feel hopeless.
Will be nice keeping up with you all though this time around!

What CD do people generally test? Im on day 13 today so obviously not yet but I can’t remember this from last time. AF due 16th Feb

Sorry to hear that @Elle9

@VolcanicProtectorMan
Do you when when do people do pregnancy test? Or OPK test?

Pregnancy tests: you're advised to wait until the day of your missed period, but people do test earlier but there is a higher chance of getting a false negative the earlier you test.
You usually count to the test in days past ovulation (DPO) rather than cycle days. See attachment.
The middle column would differ depending on how long an individual has between ovulation and their expected period, but this is generally 14 days on average.

OPK tests: you'd want to start around CD10.

Hi ladies, CD8 here, month 2 TTC baby number 2. I'm 36 and baby's due date would be 1st Nov. My daughter was 9 days early so in my mind this baby would sneak into end of October! Could be a Halloween baby!

Thanks @pinkpirlie!

I’ve had a positive OPK test today, so im guessing I could take a preg test around 14th Feb then based on 12DPO. Exciting!

@VolcanicProtectorMan that would make a great valentines present.
@MrsSamRowley welcome. My first was also early, so hoping when the next one comes along they also won’t keep me waiting

@Bubblesandballoons it's funny isn't it, I know there's no real rhyme or reason to when babies come but I just have it in my mind now that they'll be early!

It's my wedding anniversary this month (8th) and the 10th is the anniversary of the day I met my husband so i'm hoping it'll be lucky for us!

Good luck everyone! I had my first IVF transfer but I feel AF coming, so seems like I'm going for a November baby too

Me! TTC number 2 and I am waiting to ovulate any day now. Still getting the flashing smiley on my digital OPK (day 5 now!).
Really want this to work in time to have a baby by the end of the year, even if it means I end up with two December babies!

Ahh @PamelaDoov my first is a December baby too. Hopefully you get your static soon

CD5 after chemical and days are dragging. Wish AF would finish and can get on with the Opk testing when it's time!

@Bubblesandballoons thank you, I hope so. Day 5 of flashing smiley. All physically symptoms perfect for ovulation, so frustrating that it won’t go static!

Hi ladies, hope it's ok to join. CD8 after chemical and tracking LH levels..still spotting a little so I think I'll be tracking for a bit yet

Hi can I join? I'm ttc #2 and on cycle 5. My af is due around 27th Feb!

Hi everyone, TTC #2, cycle 6 I think. I’m really going to try to hold out until the end of the month to test, AF due 26/2 but was one day late last cycle.

Anyone trying anything different this cycle? We are going to try SMEP.

Welcome @Chanel05, hopefully this will be a lucky cycle for you
@MrsGrealish sorry about your chemical. There are a couple of us trying again this month after chemicals.
@PamelaDoov how annoying for you. Maybe go with your gut and don’t worry about the tests.

I’m on cd8 and I’ve finally stopped bleeding, so tomorrow I am going to start tracking with opks

Is the SMEP thing dtd every other day? If so then there's no chance of OH going along with it..he's just told me he's soo tired atm🙄

I'm gonna add Q10 into my daily vitamins this month and keep an eye on the LH levels. And pounce when needed 😂

Hello Lovelies

Hope you don't mind me joining. Currently CD 6 after a chemical pregnancy (I was 5 weeks) and we've decided 'not to prevent' and see what happens.

Fingers crossed for us all to get November babies ❤

@MrsGrealish it’s DTD every other day until you get your peak, then three days in a row from then (including day of first peak), then one day off, then DTD again for luck. It’s a lot but I think I’ve been stopping DTD too early in the cycle so hoping it will work for me 🤞🏻

A lot of us trying again after chemical.

Yep @Charl881 we're trying SMEP again this month as it worked except for the chemical. It also worked when we had DD so I have a lot of faith in it! It's tiring for sure @MrsGrealish

Hopefully last day of AF and then can get tracking with OPKs again

@Bubblesandballoons well I never used these tests before, I just went by physical signs of ovulation. At that worked 3 times! So if I wasn’t testing now, I’d still be DTD at all the same times because my physical signs are perfect.

@Coastaldreamer that’s reassuring! I’ve never tried it before but I’m much more impatience to conceive this time than I was with DS weirdly. Fingers crossed for you!

@Charl881 and for you too! 🤞🏽
I know what you mean. I just want to get preg..! DH telling me it'll happen when it happens but obviously my brain isn't working like that
