November thread 🤞🏼🩷

[Emiily887]

Hey ladies🩷

New thread for those wanting to come over for hopefully a lucky November!!

CD 5 today, af seems to be tailing off now. How is everyone doing?

@Tadpolecat yay that’s wonderful! Very happy for you!

I have ordered some more tests, arriving tomorrow! I really hope this is it, they’re the clearest lines I’ve had it’s just the negative yesterday and the false positive reviews that are worrying me a bit. I hope they’re real lines, if they’re false positives it is heartbreaking for any woman trying to conceive. Keeping everything crossed🤞🏼

Still lots of time for you at 10dpo🥰
When is your IVF appointment? That must be so difficult - sending lots of love xx

@Emiily887 I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed for you, hope the tests arrive soon and you'll be able to end this anguish of second-guessing your BFPs

I do know there's no reason to completely give up hope yet this cycle, but I have no symptoms whatsoever and the only time I was pregnant before I had a BFP very early, by 10 DPO it was obvious, so I'm feeling discouraged. Will I stop testing? Of course not 😂

IVF appointment on Wednesday 27th, we will get full details of the cycle in terms of medication etc, and put dates in the calendar. Nothing will progress until new year, but I hope I'll be able to focus on it more as a "real" thing that will eventually happen, once we know the timescale. Nearing the end of TWW and PMsing doesn't help 😅 Lots of conflicting feelings coming to the surface!

Sorry I've been quiet, had a weekend away which was lovely apart from me still having the cold!
13dpo today and didn't test yesterday but this morning bfn! Clear stark white! Af due tomorrow so think I'm out this month, I may have ovulated late but if I did we prob missed fertile window! Onto dec and af due on Xmas eve so if dec is our month it will be a lovely Xmas gift!

Morning ladies!

I didn't test this morning as the brown spotting increased yesterday but it has gone again.... Massive brain fog this morning, almost don't know how to function!

Maybe tomorrow I'll test again if AF hasn't arrived

Morning girls, another bfn for me too!

Bit confused as premium and Flo saying am only on 10dpo, cycles run anywhere from 27-31 days, I’m only going on ovulation pains this month which was the morning of the 12th so am assuming I ovulated either that same day or on the 13th which would put me at 12/13 dpo, I calculate my cycles for 27 days as that’s the norm which makes af due this Tuesday/wednesday? Edited to add lmp was 31st Oct!

Does that sound about right? think the apps just thrown me off a bit 🙃

Have just started doing BBT so hopefully will have something to go on now other than my own observations, feel like I’m back at school 👀 never had to use my brain so much 🤣🤣

Did a test this evening, looks negative too me. Thought I could see something when I inverted it but I think I'm just trying to convince myself. What do you ladies think?

Nevermind, AF came for me today as expected. Been trying to conceive for 4 years and not had any success yet. We're going down the IVF route in the new year.

Good luck everyone, fingers crossed for you

Af due today, not tested but can feel her coming I think! Hoping we will get bfp as a nice xmas gift next month! Good luck to everyone xxxx

Morning ladies, I’ve not tested either this morning, I have the dreaded headache today and bbt has slightly dropped, so I think today or tomorrow is the day I’ll be walking into the December thread… 🚶🏻‍♀️‍➡️

So sorry af arrived! I'll be in same position later today or tomorrow I think!

Sorry to hear AF has arrived for some of you ladies. Sending hugs 🩷

My Amazon delivery was delayed so they only came tonight. I haven’t tested for two days but when I did one tonight there was possibly a vvvvfl, although could well be line eyes. If the previous lines were the real deal, I’d have thought it would have been obvious today, although it was 8pm and I have drank a lot.

I’ve had some symptoms the last day or two but they could be AF pending signs….rather painful breasts, almost like sharp pinches if that makes sense and pinchy cramps low down in my tummy. They do feel different to normal AF cramps though. I’m 11dpo today and AF due Friday so I guess time will tell, but I’ve gone from feeling hopeful to not so hopeful today😔

Cd 1 for me, af arrived 3 days late but she is here so onto next cycle!
Has anyone tried C0q10 for fertility, looking into it as says good for older women, I'm 40 in Feb so want to try anything but they are so expensive and not much research on them

@JoMummyJessica sorry your af arrived too, another day late for me today but had a drop in temp, got the typical pre af headache and still testing negative so I know she’s coming! Am right behind you girls 🥹 at least you’ve a head start 😅

Not sure about vits, I stopped taking all mine as wasn’t sure on dosages and now me and dp just take vitabiotics conception, we were going to try a preseed alternative this month, there’s one on amazon with just as good reviews, just slightly cheaper in comparison 🙂

Hi ladies,
sorry I’ve been following along quietly. I’m so sorry that AF turned up for some of you, big hugs, it’s horrid. looks like we’ll be going into Dec together for hopefully good news for Xmas.
@Emiily887 im still holding out hope for you my lovely!! 🤞💕take it a day at a time but those symptoms sound hopeful.
the chemical last cycle was a huge knock but I’m cd7 of the new cycle now. We’ve also got an appointment at a fertility clinic booked before Xmas to give some peace of mind and re assurance so having that to focus on has made me feel proactive.

Hey everyone, hope you're all ok! I've been a bit MIA as I've just been down in the dumps with TTC. Ready to go again for December! Is there a thread yet?

I hate these tests! So bad for evaps🥲 shouldn’t have even tested either I’m either 5dpo or 9dpo but I just can’t help myself😂

Same.. I really gate them. So misleading. I've bought pink dye tests now ready to test next week.

Period due today, usually come on in the morning but not on yet. Had no spotting this cycle which I usually do have.
negative test also this morning.

feeling very low x

Morning all, I’m sorry I’ve been quiet.
I got a blazing positive a few days ago with FMU but started bleeding on Thursday. It was only spotting so I wasn’t too worried but called GP anyway who referred me to EPU. I had bloods done which showed beta HCG of 63. Started bleeding more heavily yesterday and my second bloods showed HCG is reducing so it’s another loss😩 I just feel fed up. I know it’s baby number 3 for me and maybe I shouldn’t be this upset especially when some of you amazing ladies are trying so hard for baby number 1, but it just feels like my body is failing me all over again😔
Sorry for the rant, just feeling really deflated as I thought this might have been it. I guess everything happens for a reason though and it just wasn’t our time for one reason or another.
On the bright side I get another month speaking to you lovely ladies if you fancy a December thread xxx

Hi @Emiily887 never apologise my lovely I’ve been thinking of you and keeping hopeful for you. 💕💕I am just so so sorry. It fricken sucks. And also it doesn’t matter this is no.3 for you and just because you already have 2 children it doesn’t devalidate what you feel and that it’s not just as upsetting and disheartening. I had the early loss last cycle as well as you know and just cos it’s early it doesn’t make it any less painful so I know exactly where you’re at right now. it’s horrible for it to happen any time but it’s particularly tough for it to happen this time of year with Xmas upcoming. Sending you a huge hug and squeeze. And yes I’ve been telling myself the silver lining is that we’re all going into Dec together and can continue to support eachother so absolutely up for a Dec thread for sure xxx 💕🩷be kind to yourself. Feel what you feel. Sending strength and hugs

@Emiily887 im so sorry you’ve had another loss. Please don’t apologise. It doesn’t matter what number baby it is. Yes, some of us are trying for our first, some of us for a sibling. That doesn’t matter, at the end of the day you want a baby, got pregnant and sadly it hasn’t ended in the happy ended we all long for.
please be kind to yourself I hope you have lots of support around you.

I'm so sorry for your loss 😔 and as PPs have said - don't apologise for it being your 3rd, all losses are painful and TTC is rough xx

Hi all,
Starting our journey for the last time this month. Mum of 4 babies and I would love to keep going but my body and age is against me.
We have a 1yr old and we feel thos is a good time for us now.

@LuxyLocket @Ncl31 @Harriet1989 thank you all so much. It is so hard especially when it’s our third and final baby, I always feel so guilty but I know I need to allow myself time and I am so grateful to you all for reminding me that it is doesn’t invalidate my feelings. Sorry I haven’t been active, I needed to take the time to grieve our loss with my husband. Bleeding is starting to slow now and I am starting to feel more hopeful again. I hope you ladies are all ok and I am so incredibly lucky to have gotten to know you all over the last few cycles.

I have set up a December thread for those that want to join 🩷
