The One Full Of Coconuts and BFPs

Got my crosshairs 🤞

@pineapple I suppose you really need to know when you 💯% ovulated before you will know for sure if your luteal phase is short. Do you use opks etc?

Hi @cara, happy Friday! Looks like another great chart 😊 It looks like BBT is really useful but I just don't know if I could take the rollercoaster of emotions (I get stressed waaaay too easily!)

Yes I hope it's too early for it, just a bit worried because my cycles have been 23-25 days anyway, so that makes my luteal phase a bit short if I ov on cd14! I guess the cramping just feels a bit like I'm out too early, but I know realistically that cramps is just progesterone, which could be AF or BFP!

Yes indeed thank God it's the weekend! I've decided to relax as much as I can this weekend as the last few have felt quite busy!! Not long to go now 😊

Hi Pineapple 👋👋 My temperature rose again this morning, so ovulation should be confirmed in the morning if it rises again. 5 dpo is way too early for AF, so try not to worry. I must start my cyclogest on Saturday night. Feeling so so tired 😴 Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!

@cara yes it already feels like a very long TWW and I am only on 5dpo! I have today had very mild crampy feelings so have a nasty feeling that AF may be on its way. I guess as long as I'm not spotting I'm not too concerned at the moment, but would be gutted if my short cycles are getting shorter, especially with all the progesterone-friendly raspberry leaf tea!!

Your chart looks pretty good for ov though, with all the other signs? How are you doing today? 😊

@38notcounting glad to hear that everything is going to plan! All very exciting!! It's funny how some people seem to feel really different syraightaway when pg, and others don't feel much until loads later, our bodies are all so different!

I hope it's another lucky month for this thread too!! 🤞

@38notcounting try not to worry. I literally didn't feel pregnant with my DS until between 7 and 8 weeks. Even after my 12 week scan it was hard to comprehend that yes I was pregnant! As soon as a little bump came and I started showing more and more, I realised that everything was okay. Baby was growing...breathe and relax x

Hi @carastar still not feeling very pregnant, boobs not as sore as they were so just hoping everything is ok. You never stop worrying do you?!

Have booked an 8 week scan as can't wait til 12 weeks to find out if everything's ok.

Really hoping it's another lucky month for the thread. Sorry you've had to cut down on tea, as a fellow addict I know how hard that is! Have you tried redbush tea? It's herbal and doesn't contain caffeine but is quite similar to normal tea and you can drink it with milk. I swear by the stuff xxx

This is my chart. I need two more temperature rises before Fertility Friend gives me the crosshairs on my chart. That's how ovulation is confirmed when charting.

With all the coconuts and silence it seems we are all on a tropical island...an island in the breeze :D

Well I am officially 1dpo! It's going to be a long tww!

@pineappleC how many dpo are you? How are you feeling now? I am trying to keep warm! Apparently it's very important during the tww! I have also reduced the amount of cups of tea I drink, and instead I now drink two herbal teas in the morning, and one at night. Self proclaimed tea addict!

@Chikitiki! Fx for you! I hope you get a nice strong opk, lots of EWCM and by the time you pop back on next week I hope you will be well on your way to a shiny BFP!

@Londonkez how have you been feeling? Have you ovulated yet?

@38notcounting and @laurapalmarsbodybag How is the first few weeks of pregnancy?? I hope the morning sickness is mild and you are both excited to be counting down the weeks until you meet your little ones :)

Hi @Cara yeah feeling a bit better thanks- I think it was an unusually stressful few days for me, and probably takes a while to get used to all the different vitamins and stuff I'm taking. Taking it really easy this week with work and exercise which will hopefully help 😊

How are you getting on? Chart looks good (from my limited understanding of charts 😊)

@Chiki sounds promising that you think you see signs of ov! 👍👍

Nothing much to report here, well into the TWW now so just focusing on limiting stress and eating well xx

I never use opks when I have my period...I would check here and there from around cd7 up to cd 9 then test three times a day.

I would continue to use the opks until you get a positive.. ..that way at least you will know when you ovulate...that way you will learn more about what is going on with your cycle.

How about we give up worrying and stressing and live in the moment ✨💜✨

I didn't use the monitor this cycle as the sticks are so expensive. The cheap opks work just fine. Trying to save money as if I do get pregnant we will need funds for baby items. Also, my sister is getting married in September.

Did you take a picture of your OPK? Hang in there! Any bit of a line is a progression.

I actually squeezed two grapefruit every day and drank the juice until now... lots and lots of ewcm 🤞🤞🤞

This is my chart 🤞

Temp dropped this morning and ovulation pain has increased. OPK much stronger today.

@pineapple I hope you are feeling better today 💜 I truly believe that the calc fluor really helped me 🤞

@Chikitiki you have been through a lot. Always remember that dreams come true 💜

Hopefully this is our month 🤞🤞🤞

Ovulating earlier this month has made it more difficult as we have only dtd three times. I haven't ovulated yet though so we will dtd tomorrow and the day after 🤞🤞🤞

@Chikitiki another gamer husband 😮 I don't feel so alone 🤣 DTD every two days, and at least you are covered no matter when you ovulate.... I am TTC a long time too...we were not trying but trying for a while before we began really focused on TTC...🤞🤞🤞
