Destination conception ... route PMA.

[Hippychic79]

Ok so I am bravely attempting to set up a new thread for anyone tTC.
Plug in your stats ...
Share the highs of your journey
Limit the lows - yes it's a challenging time but being negative gets you down.
I'm thinking positivity breeds positivity and positive thinking gets positive results -
It may take some of us a little longer than others ... but does that matter? I think not.

New rules - instead of saying af due ... we say bfp due ...

So here goes ... my stats
Age 38
Cycle 3
Bfp due 14/02

Morning everyone:)
I think the visualisations are a great idea, I do them quite a lot & they do work! One example, when I was house hunting I was getting pretty fed up and I decided I'll just draw my dream home. It was a terrible drawing but You could get the gist and I ended up living in it. So I'd encourage everyone to give it a go
I've not thought about the whole announcement thing yet, I know our parents we will probably get told not long after we know and my oh gets upset if I pee on a stick without telling him. So not sure I could plan anything for him but the idea of doing it with a baby grow is so sweet!

Thanks Charley xxx
Fx it's pregnancy related aches and pains.

Yeah I completely understand too ... a few of my mates know I'm tTC and one mate in particular- every time I see her 'have you got anything to tell me' ... even if I were upduffed surely these people should respect the priority of list of who gets told first ... 1 - oh & mn friends :)) 2 - family and they should respect the 12 week period ... makes me wish I hadn't told her!
Xxx

Morning Rose - lovely visualisation story .... love love love it ... not sure I could draw a very beautiful baby ... might give it a go and post it if I do xxx

Loving all the positive vibes! I just did a happy dance after noticing that CM was in tip top condition for baby making! tmi - sorry! Part of my positive planning is just to keep fit & healthy & to relish those moments that will totally change when a baby arrives... lie ins at the weekends, spontaneous shopping & date nights etc. Also spending time thinking about how to tell DH when I get a positive. I'm thinking of a babygrow with "my daddy supports Ipswich Town FC" I'm not sure i can hide much from him though as he knows me so well - may take the plunge and buy one because once I get the positive result, there's no way I'll be able to hide it from him!!! Hope you're all having happy Mondays! X

Thank you for your very positive vibes this morning AJ... yes I'm sure your oh would love a baby grow with his footie team on .... lovely idea and glad I'm not the only one who fantasises about telling oh the good news xxx

I am also feeling much more relaxed and positive this month ladies. It must be something to do with this thread!

I saw two pregnant friends yesterday and I didn't feel jealous or have any negative feelings. Just very excited for them and excited for me one of these months!

I had another flashing smiley today and the line is getting stronger so hoping that I will be getting a static tmrw or Weds.

Hi all!

Can I join?! Ttc #1 age 33 cycle #5 Your thread hippy is making me feel happy!

Love the stone roses myself! That baby grow is awesome! I did some searching for a football one for my oh as an idea for when the big reveal day comes-not if but when!

Thanks for being just the tonic!

Love Aje approach on relishing those times we will see fade fast when we get our lovely wee bundles!

Happy Monday indeed!

Hey Magpie - whoop whoop... nearly optimum fertile time by the sounds of it .... enjoy baby dancing :))

I'm so pleased to hear that you're feeling relaxed too... it seems to be spreading across the thread which is great.... I'm still feeling chilled too although my cycles are 26-29 days and I'm on cd23... I have not poas and will not be doing so unless i'm late... knicker watch is imminent :))

Welcome EMHW - of course you can join this thread is for everyone TTC... although I hasten to add, it's not my thread, its our thread, i just started it... you beautiful ladies keep it going.

Yeah the Stone Roses are awesome - oh and i saw them last year in Manchester.

Is anyone tempted to POAS yet? I know some of us our nearing that stage.... hold out if you can ladies... clear blue get enough money out of us (I'm sure they make the cheap pg tests too )... that said, come on BFP's let's be having you :))))

xxx

I'll admit I just walked down the aisle at Asda, sudden urge to poas and was determined to get some FRERs... thankfully there were none! I really want to hold off but I have a sudden feeling AF is imminent.....

AF is due tomorrow for me, and although I was cramping all day yesterday, it seems to have stopped today? I'm getting all my other usual AF symptoms though, so I'm just going to ride this one out look forward to trying again next month. If AF doesn't arrive tomorrow (fingers crossed!) then I will POAS on Wednesday, but like I said, I'm not expecting that to happen at the mo.

I've ordered some EPO, pineapple and grapefruit juice to be delivered with my online shop tonight as I've heard good things with them helping with ttc.

And got my fingers crossed for you Charley (and eveyone else that is still inthe 2ww) that you get your BFP this month

Thanks! Good luck to those in their 2ww!!

I'm a chronic POASer which has seen me do 2 ovulation tests already today.....

I'm not convinced I'm ovulating and bled very very lightly for 8 days last month so a bit confused as to what went on there so tracking this for the last 10 days now cd18..... away in Suffolk the weekend Aunt Flo is due so definitely won't test until I'm back-2 weeks today. What will be will be! In the meantime there is 👉👌🍺

Archie's what's epo please ? Xxx

Emh - what cycle day did you start using opks please? And how long are your cycles? Xxx

Emh - also which opks are you using? Xxx

Hippychic Sorry, it's Evening Primrose Oil. That, along with grapefruit juice is meant to help your body produce more CM (which I don't seem to get a huge amount of)

Ahhhh I see - thank you ... I have epo tablets which my naturopath told me to take pre period when and if I get sore boobs ... she didn't mention the cm element ... so thanks for that. I've read pineapple is good to eat whilst tTC I think post ovulation - I juiced one yesterday and today ... couldn't eat a whole one and the core but juicing is ok xxx

I used pre seed this month in a bid to boost cm xxx

hippy using the clearblue ones, and im on a 30 day cycle..... this is my 5th month trying but first properly using OPKs-did buy the cheap ones at the start but i didnt use them correctly! My bad!

Whats all this about pineapple?! Love me a bit of the pineapple! ha!

natural-fertility-info.com/bromelain-pineapple-for-implantation.html

(I hope that link worked) EMHW this is quite interesting about pineapple, but I think you have to eat some of the core? I'm going to give it a go this month

Hi Emhw:)
I take evening primrose for CM but I've read you need to stop taking it after ovulation if you ttc?
Hippy if your saw the pic of my house I drew you'd know why I won't be drawing a pic of my baby. It was an ugly picture but the windows & doors were all in the right places which is odd seeing as my house has an off centre door, plus I drew a hill behind it, which I have and there was a badly drawn horse on the pic, my house is on a bridal path. I even drew a palm tree, and I'm not a fan of those type of plants so don't know why but I have two palms on my drive. So if your a better artist than me you should totally go for it.
I've been feeling super positive this cycle, well more happy really, I just can't stop laughing at things that aren't even funny, it's actually a bit annoying as it's really quite tiring and starts to hurt after awhile, poor me hahahahahahaha!
I've also been super hungry, usually I can skip meals no problem but now I'm like eating every two minutes which is not great as I always have to watch my weight, I'm not blessed with the naturally skinny gene

Archie's I don't seem to get much either especially not this egg white stuff people go on about, I love pineapple so will have to give that a go

Evening everyone .
Sorry for those with AF but keep thinking positively, your day will come.

Hippy I am sooooo tempted to POAS. I'm 9DPO so not sure anything would appear? I am still spotting but I have a feeling it's the start of AF. I don't feel any symptoms apart from feeling sick last night, which was odd.
However, I haven't had any PMS/ moods/ bitchmode moments yet so I'm hanging on in there.

I have thought about using PreSeed but not sure? Has anyone has any use of it? Loads of people have said they've got a BFP with it but could it be coincidence?

Interesting thanks Archies and rose i quite like the core think ill try EPO too :) nothing ventured and all that.

Thats nuts you drew the house of your dreams then bought it! Ha! sounds lovely :) Have you read that book i think its called the secret that applies similar logic?

In true spirit i tried to order a babygrow jersey gaelic football top as a gift to surprise my OH when i get our BFP...anyway my card didnt work on the site so i gave up, but then got an email from the site to go via paypal-bizarre anyway-quite happy as i thought the inital card prob was an omen! ha! Its actually a really ugly baby grow but my OH will be loving it..... I'm off for a swim to keep my positive mind going-although not shaved my legs hahahahaha!

Well after my trip to Asda, I went to boots -closed and then Tesco - none!! I think someone's trying to tell me to lay off the tests haha!!! I'm absolute starving today too Rose. I took a sandwich too work and ate it before o even got there!

I tried conceive plus this month (same as preseed) and also EPO and grapefruit juice.... still no EWCM for me but it was only just over a week.

Salem I'm always tempted to POAS lat month I was doing opks right up to AF, I did keep getting positives though, so was wondering what was going on. This month I was pleased to just get a positive for like one & half days when I was actually due to OV.
Emhw, yeah I've read the secret, & sort of realised I got brought up that way by my dad, I remember applying for secondary schools he only put down schools you needed to pass exams to get into, I begged him to put down a back up plan but he just told me there was no need to. I'm glad you got your test I tend to believe in signs too, but I suppose if u follow the secret if you believe in a sign you might be making it happen.
Charley fingers crossed we're eating for two you should come to my house I have about 30 pg tests
