TTC NOVEMBER 2023

[MixedCouple]

Morning ladies.

AF showed up yesterday 16th Oct Booooo. This is my 9th cycle. Made an apt with GP as I am over 35 and we really tried everything so now need some tests and OH to.
TTC No.2. LO is 2 this month. Was hoping for 2 under 2. But ah well...... We plan but God is the best of planners.

Please join! And hopefully we see some BFPs this month.

Hey all just a quick update, nothing really exciting happening here. I’m 6 or 7DPO (FF can’t agree with NC, ah apps!) and not having any symptoms. I think that’s probably a good thing as last month I had a bunch of symptoms that turned out to be PMS 😅
Mira says my progesterone is high, and I’ll test it again 9DPO.

I am having some anxiety because I got a BFP with my daughter on cycle two last time so it’s kind of in the back of my mind that if it doesn’t happen this cycle then who knows when it will. Silly I know but there it is!

I want to cancel a couple of appointments leading up to 10DPO so I can just chill and accept whatever news I get. Hoping my luteal phase isn’t too short, last one was 12 days I think.

I'll be joining you all this month.
This will be month 2 TTC our first.

I'm on CD5 currently. Going to try to not symptom spot this month as last time the TWW was torture.

CD12/13. Arrived in Greece fine. Been challenging traveling with DC but better than expected in other respects.

Forgot to bring folic acid supplement with me, may get some from a local pharmacy.

Ovulation probably not far off, hopefully me and DP are in better spirits tomorrow otherwise boat will be missed.

Back again 🙃
currently 7DPO, the wait is really killing me this month

I can’t believe it… I got my BFP this morning! My husband has already gone to work so I needed to tell someone before I tell the next random person I bump in to 😂 I didn’t even have a hint of a line on Saturday when I tested at 9DPO. For all of us who over analyse the TWW too… I’ve barely had a symptom other than a couple of mornings feeling a tiny bit nauseous but nothing I couldn’t put down to AF or other things. Hoping this is my sticky bean 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Good luck ladies, also I am sorry to those of you who find this upsetting - I have been in this position myself on mumsnet so sending my love to you all. May there be many BFPs in this thread!! 💕

Morning all,
I am 4dpo today, this is only cycle one for us ttc and I'm so bloody impatient. I have my easy at home tests arriving today and I'm gonna have to hold out testing for at least another few days.
Tww is absolutely no joke

@MrsHousePlant This is great news - congratulations!! 🎉

@MrsHousePlant huge congratulations! Wishing you a very sticky happy pregnancy 🤞🏼✨

Huge congratulations 🥰

Congratulations @MrsHousePlant I was eagerly waiting for an update, I'm so pleased for you 😊

@worldwidetravel2017 yeah sometimes I ovulate as late as CD23 so trying not to panic just feel like the month is slipping past and it's just a lot more waiting time!

Dya take zinc & b6 ?

Lovely news :)

Congratulations, @MrsHousePlant !!! 💜

Hope all of you are doing well!
I'm on my first Letrozole cycle after all the failed clomid cycles. I hope I ovulate this month. I'm on cd9 and have a scan on cd11 to check if I've got some mature follicles. Wish me luck!! 🤞😵

@MrsHousePlant fabulous news! The biggest congrats to you xx

@WishingUponARainbow I have only just peaked on my OPKs last night/this morning so probably ovulating late today or tomorrow. Today is CD20. Hoping my luteal phase is longer this month!

@MrsHousePlant huge congratulations, I’m new here but I love seeing good news on the threads!

@worldwidetravel2017 I take folic acid and vit D from Boots.
I was taking Pregnacare conception with everything in it but it messed up my cycle and I didn't ovulate that month.
I'm now too scared to start taking them again 🤣

@MrsP21918 thanks for the reassurance re late ovulation and 🤞🏼🤞🏼 for you!

I take all.mine individually

Folic acid
Vit d
Zinc
B12
B6
Coq10
Etc

Zinc and b6 help with cycle & length & timing & progesterone

@WishingUponARainbow did u have your feretin checked ?
I had feretin , vit d & b12 deficiencies
But fixed most before trying

Yeah everything you've listed is in the Pregnacare conception tablets. Maybe I'll start taking them again if this cycle is unsuccessful.
We've decided to have a break from TTC in December as we're moving house and it's going to be really stressful so if I start taking Pregnacare then it will hopefully give my cycle a chance to regulate with them.

I have had some blood tests done but don't think my iron levels were tested. My progesterone was on the low side 11.6 (normal range starts at 11) so speaking to the doctor next week and hopefully she can prescribe me something to boost it.

@MrsHousePlant Wooo! Over the moon for you! Got everything crossed this is the one for you!

Def ask for feretin check - some females don't concieve til good iron levels

You cant carry a baby safely with super low iron

Thanks for the advice I will bring it up at my next appointment

Thank you all so much ❤️❤️❤️

I can’t tell you how helpful these threads have been over the last few months making me feel less alone and having people to chat to.
