The One Full Of Coconuts and BFPs

[ChikiTIKI]

Just setting this up before we run out of space on the other thread.

@Carastarchild @LondonKez I will tag more people later today.

Anyone not on previous thread is welcome to join too. A friendly group of people supporting each other through TTC xxxx

@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?!🤞

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! 😂

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 🤞

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

@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

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

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 😊😊

@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

@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

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

hi girls!! i am totally breaking lent to check in with you all!! :) im sorry AF has got you @PineappleC

how long until your AF/BFP is due @Carastarchild?

i am on CD 20!!! if my calculations are correct... longest cycle i've had for months!! took a test and got a BFN on CD15. i know it's so early but with my last 4 or 5 cycles being 12-17 days i though i may as well. had LOADS of EWCM the last few days... it is pretty much pouring out. not very pleasant. cervix is totally open too. so i cant be pregnant. i was sick this morning too. no idea why. so i think the last few cycles i have had all the ovulation symptoms and then got AF a couple of days later. so will have to see what happens this time....

thinking of you all. have missed chatting with you each day!! xxxx

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

@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 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

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.

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

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

My AF arrived yesterday...currently cd 2 and cramping a little. I said to my DH we really got to give it everything this month! My expected due date will be 25th of December if we are successful.

How is everyone else?

oh no im sorry to hear that @Carastarchild. fingers crossed for your christmas baby.

i logged back on to check my last comment... so its only a week and a day since my EWCM ended. however... i totally feel like i am pregnant!! today is CD28. can't believe ive made it this many days in to a cycle! boobs sore but different to pre AF soreness on the sides. this is nipples and deep in to boobs and a more sharp feeling. felt quite sick today. my hips and back ache so much....

could just be mother nature playing a cruel trick though! i am too scared to test yet. will be back after tea to read further to see how youre all doing xxxx

how are you @LondonKez? has AF stayed away? how are you feeling, any different to other months?

@LauraPalmersBodybag i am glad to hear from you and thats wonderful news about your early scan. what a blessing. im so pleased for you!!

@PineappleC i am sorry AF came for you :( fingers crossed for you having a christmas baby xxxx

Sorry not to have been on recently. Had a rubbish week starting with some light bleeding and culminating in a mc on Wedneasday - the sac didn't make it beyond 5 weeks. Feeling a bit numb at the moment but am trying to think positive.

Will be joining you all again ttc once my body settles down. One good thing is that my husband and I booked to go away next weekend months ago, so it has come at just the right time - we need a break.

Sorry for those of you got by AF and keeping my fingers crossed for everyone xxx✨✨✨✨💕💕💕💕

@chiki I really do hope it is your month. I can so understand the too scared to test thing. Wishing you loads of good vibes xxx

oh no @30notcounting i am so so sorry about your miscarriage. i am so gutted for you. it must have been such a shock. how are you feeling? are you coping ok? do you have family and friends to support you? you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers xxxxxx

Oh @38 I'm so sorry to hear that 😥 Always gutting when ppl come back on here for that reason. How are you feeling today? I think you're right in that a weekend away is a great idea just to try and relax and take stock, but I can't imagine how horrid this must feel. Sending you lots of hugs xx

Also thanks everyone for your thoughts 😊Although I'm still feeling pretty positive overall now that my cycles are moving in the right direction it's still bloody frustrating that it's cycle 6 and still nothing. I know ppl have been going much longer so I shouldn't complain, it's just a bit frustrating. Also work has been horrid this week, and marathon training is getting tough, so feeling a bit fed up overall! Could definitely do with a holiday! Cd9 today for me so going to start with the opks later 👍

@Chiki that sounds exciting!! When are you planning to test??

@Cara sorry to hear AF got you and hope the cramping stops soon!

@Londonkez how are you doing? Hope AF has stayed away 🤞
