Nov 2024 TTC 💖 part 2 ✨

[CoolSummer89]

Hi all,
We have reached 500 posts in the part 1 thread already and we are only a third of the way through November!! Starting a new thread here.

AF has showed up this evening so CD1 for me! Was really hoping cycle 4 would be lucky for us but we’ll keep trying. Congrats to everyone with a BFP this month! ☺️ x

@Kateb149 sorry to hear :/

Thank you, it is bang on time so it can’t be mistaken for anything else! I have everything crossed for you 🤞 x

Ah sorry to hear xx

Sorry to hear this :( i’m just starting our ttc#1, cycle 4- its weirdly my lucky number. Hopefully cycle 5 is your lucky one ✨🤞🏽❤️

Thanks for adding me to the new thread ☺️ trying not to symptom spot as I’m only 4 dpo but I’ve had mild cramps all day.. hoping it’s not a sign that my period will turn up ridiculously early again 🙄

Number 4 is my lucky number too! 😅 maybe it will show up in another way for me ☺️ hope your lucky number lives up to its expectation ❤️ x

Thank you lovely xx

Thank you for sharing this x

Sorry to hear this. AF showed up for me today as well x

I would be in the ovulation stage of this list xx congratulations to all and sticky baby dust to those who are in limbo xxx

Hi may I join please? Not exactly sure when I ovulated as didn't track ovulation. Only got my periods back in August while currently breastfeeding my 18 month old. Had ewcm earlier this week so hoping I ovulated this week. Have 2 DC, a 4 year old and 18 month old. Been having really strong cramps last few days but trying not to symptom spot! Congrats to all the lovely bfps and can't wait to celebrate more here! X

Thank you for the tag @CoolSummer89 !
I'm impatiently waiting for my fertile window to start. If it's anything like my last cycles though I will stay low until I get a sudden static smiley. I just don't get flashing smileys!

Hi all. 2DPO here and feeling surprisingly relaxed, far more than I was when waiting for ovulation and constantly testing with OPKs. When I conceived my son I had lots of nausea, bloating and gassy at 7DPO and BFP at 10DPO so will probably start questioning every feeling as the week goes on.

Do it!

Sorry to hear, it’s never a nice day when it comes is it! I felt okay yesterday until I got into bed and then had a little cry 🥲
I saw a tip from someone else that if AF comes you should do something that you wouldn’t be able to do if you were pregnant to give yourself a little pick me up… so I might eat some sushi and have a glass of wine this week 😅 x

Hope you don’t mind me joining, I’m ovulating today if I’ve tracked everything correctly. Currently on cycle 6 of trying for number 2. It’s definitely different this time round ttc when we have a toddler who loves to frequent our bed - he’s like the tiniest, cutest little cock block! Best of luck to all of you lovely ladies for this month and congratulations to those who have had positive tests 💕

Hi everyone, would like to join in here too! :)
This is my first month TTC after a MMC in September. I’m currently 8dpo, and obsessively googling every tiny cramp or ‘symptom’ (which is what led me here!)
My partner and I are desperate to conceive, especially after going through the trauma of a MMC (found out at 12 week scan with no prior indication anything was wrong), so I’m really putting the pressure on myself this month. I know the pressure probably won’t help me, especially as this is my first cycle since the MMC. I really can’t think about anything else!

Anyway, that’s my story currently.. looking forward to joining you all here!

Good morning! 10DPO, patiently waiting for Tuesday to miss period and test 🤞

Finally it's peak day!! I feel like the wait for this was as painful as the TWW 😂

Congratulations to all those with their positive results! Going to be TTC towards to end of this month now x

When do you guys have sex around positive LH test? We used to do it in the days before but I realised the 2 times I have been pregnant we did it about 2 days after the positive test so I think for us the sperm maybe don't live the '5 days' and don't last long enough to meet the egg! And maybe all this time we actually weren't doing it at the best time!

Curious to see what others do x

Morning all,
Feeling much better after just allowing myself to test yesterday (BFN). Had a fun day with friends and then saw my mum. I think she tried to give me a birds and the bees talk even though I am 35 and actually she conceived me (her only child) accidentally - so not sure what advice she feels like she can give😅

Welcome @Dereksscrubcap @AudreyJL @Ttcftmama @Jemmy94 @Smileymom @Tryingfor3rd @MrsB902 @MoonDaydream

Congrats @Jologi best of luck for Monday's test too

Yay @sellingupslow - I did think you would be after that huge RHR rise

Oh @Butterflygirl23 I'm so sorry to hear that things are still up in the air. Will keep you in my thoughts 💓

Sorry to hear that AF has arrived @Kateb149 best of luck for next cycle

@rebecca199 I try to have sex every other day the 5 days before ovulation and then the three days after until ovulation is confirmed by BBT rise. I usually get my LH peak the day before ovulation.

When people say that sperm lives up for 5 days that is very rare and more of a warning for people trying NOT to get pregnant. The conditions have to be pretty perfect for sperm to survive that long. That's one of the reasons why it's easier to get pregnant in your 20s because you produce more EWCM which helps sperm live for longer.

But as I've not got pregnant once in the 11 months I have been trying who am I to give advice!

Woke up to period. On to cd1 for me. This ill be ovulating around the 23rd of novemeber. Trying to remain positive. Working night shift tonight for the next 2 days. Wishing i could just curl up with my partner tonight x

Lots of people on this new thread, good luck everyone! It's so lovely we're all supporting each other through this stressful time - it's so encouraging to see some lovely positive pregnancy tests and also I love seeing people's very positive ovulation tests too! It gets me all excited for you.

As my situation is a little different I did an ovulation test this morning just to check there was absolutely no line, I think I was concerned I wasn't ovulating after the early miscarriage. I've had ovulation symptoms but wanted to check any way and it was fairly decent, definitely not super dark but dark enough to convince myself that I have some of the right hormones going on!

I'm really unsure of timings etc. so we're DTD every other day/some days every day to increase our chances. I'm also breastfeeding a 14 month old, not constantly but enough LOL, so I'm worried this will affect my chances of getting pregnant then staying pregnant - is anyone else in a similar situation?

Sending love Xx
