TTC October baby 🍁🎃👻

[BiscuitLover3678]

Well here we are again, day 1 of new cycle. It’s been over a year now (I’d ducked out of these threads for ages). Finally going to start with some private investigations. But not for a few weeks.

Anyone got any fun ideas for this month?

Yes me too 🙂 it's nice to know someone in the same boat albeit the PCOS, yeah I have very regular periods thankfully. My cycle is around 26 days, how about you? Funnily enough after saying yesterday i dont get ovulation pain ive actually woke up this morning with what feels like a trapped wind cramp on my left side, so hoping this is good news! Best of luck to you too and keep me posted 🥰

@MilkyAndFluffy The only way to actually confirm Ovulation has happened is if you track your BBT (temping), but you have to do it all cycle. Basically your temps are lower before ovulation and if you track it every morning you can see a temp rise after O which confirms Ovulation has happened, but only in retrospect as the temp has to be elevated for 3 days to confirm O.

I'm 3 days in to the 2ww and want it over with now! haha I am so impatient 😅

Morning ladies! So, I tested this morning at 9DPO and it was a BFN. My temperature is still high after a 1 day dip on Sunday and there’s no sign of AF yet so I’m not completely counting myself out yet. My question is, should I do another test tomorrow or wait 48 hours until I’m 11 DPO? I know what the sensible option is but I think it’ll be a struggle to wait another 2 days if AF doesn’t appear!

Sorry to those who are already hosting AF, fingers crossed that the next cycle is the one ☝️

Anyone else testing in the next few days?

Hi @Geordienewbie - you know we should say wait 48 hours lol, but I probs couldn't wait. I'm 3dpo and already can't wait. I conceived in October, ended in a MMC and I had a super faint line on 9dpo but at 11it was definite. Good luck to you, really hope it's your month x

@Enigma85 thank you for your response. I think I’ll see what my temperature does in the morning and if it’s still up maybe I’ll take a test.

So sorry to hear about your MMC. Really hope the next week or so goes quickly for you and that we both get the outcome we want this month. Are you trying for your first? x

@Geordienewbie yep my first, and I'm 37 so really worried I left it too late

@Enigma85 I’m sure you’ve heard it all before but it’s definitely not too late and there are plenty of women way older than you having healthy babies so I’m sure your time will come. I’m 33 and trying for my first so I definitely hear that clock ticking as well. Being a woman is so rubbish sometimes!

@Enigma85 I'm also 37, it is by no means too late!
I'm still awaiting AF over here, but my temp did drop today so seems like it should appear anytime now... should being the key word 🤣

Hi everyone, I did a FRER yesterday and got a faint line at 10DPO and tried not to get my hopes up, but have had cramps etc since around 6-7DPO.
I've done an early detection clear blue digital this afternoon and got this!
I'm keeping everything crossed that everything goes smoothly and as it should!
Huge huge good luck to you all and sending lots of baby dust xx

That's amazing @northernmam congratulations

@JD90 thank you so much 😊 xx

Aww massive congrats 🙂

@Betsy21 thank you 😊

How do you all motive yourselves to DTD lol? Today's my ovulation day and I just don't have any motivation

Just because of how gutted I'd feel if we missed it and that could've been the time! I want to know we did all we could lol @Betsy21

@northernmam massive congrats! So happy for you

Congratulations @northernmam ! Great news to keep us all going!

@ExcitedandNervousC1 aw thank you so much! 😊

Congratulations @northernmam 🙌🏻

@B93 thank you so much 😊

Congratulations @northernmam! This is such fantastic news 😊

@Geordienewbie aw thank you so much 😊

Wondered if I can join? I've been reading forums for months but this month need somewhere to vent!
I'm ttc #1, cycle #16, currently CD 14. I'm 28 next month and I'm feeling quite helpless.
I spoke to GP in August who sent me for ultrasounds (previously had blood tests) and they found complex cysts on both ovaries. I had a follow up in December and the cysts we're still there and measuring 3cm by 2cm. GP has referred me to the gynecology clinic but I found out last week its a waiting list of 20-25 weeks!!! That's before any type of treatment and without having a diagnosis or any way forward!

Congrats @northernmam , such lovely news!

@Teatime32 aw thank you so much! 😊

Congratulations @northernmam - exciting news!
