The One Full Of Coconuts and BFPs

How is everyone? Just checking in as it's been quiet here for the last few days.

I'm 11dpo and AF/BFP due anywhere between tomorrow and Saturday. My LP is normally 12 days (had 1 at 11 days), but after stretching to 14 days last cycle I'm not allowing myself to have any kind of hope pre 14dpo!

Hope you're all ok x

Hang on it there @Carastarchild. I'm trying not to focus on my temps too much. I think it really contributed to my disappointment last cycle. I hope you have lots planned to spoil yourself while DS is away x

Lovely to hear from you @LauraPalmersBodybag. So pleased that your early scan went well. How are you feeling? Xx

Hope you ladies are well @chikitiki and @PineappleC x

Hi ladies.

My son has gone to France for a week on a student exchange program. A lot of organisation of clothes etc took up a lot of my time the last few days.

I tested this morning as my temp rose again. BFN 😔 12 dpo today

Sorry AF arrived @Pineapple. I have no doubt that the vitamins etc are working and you are a cycle closer to a BFP.

Hi ladies, just checking in to say hi and that I’m thinking of you. Sorry to hear that TTC is taking it’s toll, it really can be an emotional rollercoaster, which operates on no rhyme or reason!

I’m sorry to hear you didn’t get your BFP this month @pineapplec and I’m fx for everyone else.

I had an early scan today and so far so good, feeling very lucky and just hoping for good things for you all. Have a lovely weekend xx

@chikitiki great to hear from you, and excellent to hear you're on CD20! What a huge improvement on the last few cycles! Xx

@PineappleC sorry to hear AF arrived, but it sounds like your cycles are improving too! Sounds like you're feeling positive too xx

Have a great weekend ladies x

Hi @Chiki, that's great that it's lengthened, and hope you're feeling less worried now!! That all sounds really good too and hopefully next time you come on social media you'll have some good news for us 😊 I don't think I could give up social media for 40days so massive well done even with the small break!!

AF definitely here properly today. 26day cycle and 12 day luteal phase so think the raspberry leaf tea, calc fluor and coq10 is helping!! On to next month now!! Xx

Haha yes I totally agree!! Well the brown spotting has increased along with a small amount of red blood so pretty sure i'm at the start of AF 😥 Still, on the positive side, that's an 11-12day luteal phase and no mid-cycle spotting, so I'm feeling pretty positive overall actually! 😊
Looking forward to your update - I really hope it's your month!! Xx

@Pineapple fx AF stays away and that the brown spotting is from implantation, which would explain the cramps. I hate when DH tells me to chill about TTC! Really really annoys me...I remind him that woman are emotional beings and he should deal with it! Easy for men to tell us to chill... :D

@Londonkez I remember going to several doctors appointments years ago when I came off the pill...it took them months to take me serious about my progesterone problem. I hope your doctor refers you and allows things to start moving along. Take vitamin C for your cold. Wrap up and rest x

Hi ladies, I'm also starting to feel the strain of TTC now. It seems to come so easily to some people, and it seems so unfair when we're doing everything right!

I am on cd25, I rarely get to see cd26 because of my short cycles so I'm taking it as a positive overall. The AF type cramps I've had for a week are getting less and less which is worrying. I had a BFN yesterday and a miniscule bit of brown spotting this morning so I feel that AF will probably arrive tomorrow.

My DH is getting angry at me when I'm getting stressed about it now, as he wants me to chill out! It's just easier said then done when it's something you want so much and is totally outside your control!!

I really hope this is a lucky cycle for you guys 😊😊

Big hug @Carastarchild, I feel the same! Trying very hard to keep my positive pants on right now! 8th cycle temping/tracking and 17th all together. I got a letter from the doctor saying to call for a non-urgent consultation, so hoping they are finally ready to refer me! In the mean time, exercise, eating well and keeping warm. Was meant to be at pilates tonight but have come down with a cold so didn't leave the house after I got home from work...oops! Keep going, we'll get there soon! Xx

@Londonkez I seriously don't know why. I have been drinking warming herbal tea, taking my progesterone, and wrapping up warm....I am so tired of TTC....I can't understand why it has to be so hard for us to get pregnant. I literally want to get pregnant, do a night course and change career. Is that a lot to ask for :D

Hiya @Carastarchild, my temps are pretty low too this cycle. Barely above my cover line. Yours are at least distinctly higher. Fingers crossed for you x

Hi ladies! Just popping in to say hi! My temp seems pretty low for the luteal phase.

I really hope this is a lucky cycle for us all 🤞

Ah, excellent @PineappleC! Fingers crossed for you!

I'm ok, 4dpo. Was meant to be staying off MN, but it becomes too tempting as soon as you hit the tww! 😂

@LondonKez I'm hanging onto cd24 for dear life! Cramps still coming and going, all standard pre-AF stuff. I'm hoping it'll hold off til tomorrow as this would give me a 10 luteal phase, 9 day one seems too short! No spotting though for this cycle or the last one, which is a positive 😊

How are you getting on?!🤞

How are you feeling today @PineappleC? I hope AF has stayed away and those feelings are your BFP brewing 🤞🏼💖

@cara how is your chart today? 😊 Yeah it will def be better to know, I think AF is pretty much here to be honest and it's 8dpo, so pretty bad!! No bleeding yet though so we shall see! X

Hi @LondonKez great to hear from you and glad you're feeling better today than yesterday. You are NOT alone in getting upset, this whole process can be so disheartening, especially when it seems to come so easily to others like your friend. It's these moments where it takes real courage to act normally. I am just trying to tell myself that it'll all be worth it in the end 😁

This month has also not been great for me, and I think I am already out. It's cd22 and 8dpo and I'm feeling like AF is imminently- quite noticeable cramps which have been building for the last couple days. This gives me a seriously short luteal phase if so, so no chance of me conceiving without help. It's so hard not to get upset!

I hope you've had a better day today, and grrat that you're keeping yourself busy...best thing for it!! X

Morning! I'm back with a fresh head.
Last night wasa real kick, but our time will come.

How is everyone? I'm 2dpo, so now officially in the tww x

@PineappleC, I have my fingers crossed for you x

@carastarchild that's a good looking chart! X

Hey ladies,

Sorry I've been so quiet. I was attempting to distract myself from mumsnet and social media after a heartbreaking cycle.

DP and I decided to keep ourselves busy from ttc. We've been going to the gym almost every evening and I've been doing yoga/pilates every night. I've had loads on this week with work and socialising, but logged onto social media and found out one of mine and DPs friend's are pregnant. Him and his wife met after me and DP. They got married 3 months ago after being engaged for 6 months. Me and DP have been together 10 years.

I've been feeling so good, but seeing that post has been like a kick in the chest. I don't know how to explain it, but this is the first time I've ever felt genuinely winded 💔 I know I should be delighted for them like I have been for everyone else we know, but I have no other emotion than jealousy and rage. I've felt jealousy before, but never this incomprehensible anger!

This is so unlike me! I don't know what to do. I feel broken x

This is my chart 🤞I really hope this it it 🙏

Definitely see how you get on this month. At least you know when you ovulated and so you will know for definite how long your luteal phase is. I hope you get a BFP and it won't matter 🤞💜🤞

Ha yes me too! Definitely relaxing today, and then just a short run tomorrow 😊 I hope you enjoyed a good lie in today! 😁

This was my first month with Opks, got a strong positive on cd13 so my app says that puts me at cd14 for ov. Given that this corresponds with CM signs in previous cycles, I'm thinking my luteal phase is around 11 days, but obvs won't know until AF/BFP this month. Currently cd21, very light cramps atm, which is pretty normal pre-AF stuff 😥

I've decided that if no BFP this month or next month I'm gonna go to docs. It's cycle 5 now, but I'd rather know it's it's something like low progesterone coz surely there's things that can help that!?

Your chart looks really good! How long until AF/BFP due? TWW seems so much longer this month for some reason!!

If you see my chart I ovulated cd 12.

I hear you! I am exhausted 😴💤😴 can't wait for a lie in tomorrow morning 😋
