Christmas BFP’s positive thoughts (let’s support each other)

[Idreamof2more]

Hi ladies, have started this thread for anyone that has not had their bfp this month but is going into their next cycle positively hoping for their Christmas or New Years bfp. Let’s support each other..laugh/cry. No such thing as TMI. Let’s celebrate together! Xxx

AF arrived for me too earlier

Onto next cycle we go

@YouBoggleMyMind

Literally everything.

Conceive plus lube
Legs up for 30 mins
Lying down the full night after sex
Smep
Trying to get O each time we dtd to help sperm
Cut caffeine
Supplements - Brazil nuts. Pomegranate juice. Royal jelly. Pregnacare. Coq10
Ovulation tests

Maybe too much 🤭🤭🤭

What do all those supplements do @NamechangeTTC (

(Pregnacare is a multivitamin and coq10 for egg quality, is that right?)

Royal jelly is meant to help fertility I read
Forgot to say calc fluor it’s meant to help after ov
Pomegranate juice and Brazil nuts implantation

Probably to help me feel in control!

Congratulations @Lille4 🥰

Afternoon Ladies! Is it OK if I join? my 2nd month trying for baby #1. Hubby is shocked that it didn't happen first time! When I told him the probability each month, we was like... so how do people get knocked up so quickly and why do they tell us even a wiff of a naked body will get a girl pregnant at school... LOL...
Think I am around 3/4DPO today (my apps are a little confused) hoping for a BFP before Christmas! Had some major cramping on and off yesterday and today but doubt its anything (just my crazy symptom spotting mind)

Good luck everyone!!!

Hi everyone, welcome to anyone that just joined us. How are we all today. My af is here in full force currently stuffing on a kfc of course!
Went to hospital today as I have a minor gynae procedure next Monday and have to have a bloody covid swab as routine! I am absolutely terrified of the swab as the thought of where it does.keep hearing horror stories! Can’t describe how anxious I am almost to the point I keep wanting to Cancel the procedure! Anyone had it done by the professionals what was it like! Xx

Hi, can I join?
1st Month TTC after implant removal 29.10.20 body feels wrecked right now so no idea where I am in my cycle.
Be my baby number 3 OH baby number 1

I’m also mid AF and wishing for this cycle to be over

The COVID test isn’t too bad, a bit sore around where I don’t have any tonsils but I have a lot of scar tissue! You’ll be fine honestly!

@Idreamof2more my sister works for the NHS and has to have a test every week, and she has said its not as bad as everyone makes out to be! Just try to be as calm as possible..

and on the subject of KFC... have you seen the new Christmas edition they are releasing! I better make the most of being on a diet for the rest of November, as its defo gonna go tits up in December!

CD1 today and feeling really crap. Start letrozole tomorrow night.

So glad I can just veg in front of the TV tonight and feel sorry for myself lol

Hi all,
Had MMC a few months ago after TTC for 18months. Had ovulation peak on sticks last night so DTD. Am I too late?? Xx

Sorry AF has arrived for so many of us guys. Im CD6 AF finished up a few days ago so totally get how disappointing it is. Already mentioned this month I’m trying to drink more water (never off the bloody toilet) and trying to follow the SMEP plan, however we are both shift workers so some months it’s just impossible to DTD at the exact right times, we always get at least one or two in somewhere around O date.

@Idreamof2more I’m a nurse so do them swabs all the time. Ask the nurse if they can just show you what to do and so your own, that way it won’t feel as uncomfortable. Iv had loads of them and they don’t bother me at all. Sod’s law partner tested positive last week so we have both been isolating. With us both working at the hospital it was only a matter of time til one of us dragged it home.

Its positive to hear all your stories. This seemed so much easier in my 20s bit more worried in my 40s.
Is everyone here using OPK, I've never used these but feel it may add pressure to DTD at certain times???

@Sohe do they really go up that far up your nose?? Heard some horror stories but you have all made me feel a bit better. Was going to ask if I could do my nose myself but not sure if they will allow it at my hospital will I have the right to request to?
Thank you for everyone that has commented a kit the test.
I am def starting a diet @CookieMonster3001 I have not stopped eating complete crap for last few months my poor body is so malnourished.
Going back to healthy eating from tomorrow and forcing some fruit down.
@sohe hope your results are okay x

@Idreamof2more should be approx 2-3cm up the nose and gently rotate around the nasal cavity. Make sure you blow your nose before to get rid of excess mucus and you should be fine. I don’t see why anyone would object to you doing your own swabs. At the local testing site where I am everyone who has symptoms in the community does their own swabs. In hospital I ask my patients if they would like to do it and I supervise them, or if they would just like me to do it. It’s honestly fine, the swabs are quite thin, the throat one is worse for me as it makes me gag but only uncomfortable for a few seconds and it’s over. The nose one doesn’t bother me at all! I would say don’t listen to the horror stories coz people like to hype things up. I don’t know why some people seem to like frightening other people. Please don’t worry! X

Thanks for all the lovely messages everyone! Rooting for you all and hoping to see a bunch of Bfps in a few weeks time. The best Christmas pressies :) fingers crossed xx

Hiya, I'd love to join you all.

We've been TTC on and off since I had a miscarriage last November, unfortunately due to my mum being diagnosed with a rare cancer and having a treatment that meant that I couldn't be around her if there was a possibility of being pregnant so we stopped trying those few months the treatment was ongoing.

I felt absolutely awful last Christmas time and not in the slightest festive, but told myself that my next Christmas would be very different. But it doesn't feel that it will be right now 😥

Just gone into the TWW and on 2 dpo and trying not to symptom spot this month. Started taking a different multi-vit this month, plus usual folic acid, vegan omega 3 capsules and started co-enzyme q-10 this month. Have also returned to practicing yoga and meditation a few times a week and affirmations.

Would love to stay positive even of this month ends in a bfn. Baby dust to you all 💕

@Claire008
Hi ya! I have joined this thread today too.
It sounds like you have had a miserable time lately. I have also been TTC for a long time and had mmc at 12 weeks. Just actively trying again now. I am 1dpo. Dtd last night. Did you dtd on your ovulation day?

Hi @JayneHill. I'm so sorry to hear of your your loss too.

Yes we dtd in the morning and had the strongest peak I've ever had on the lh test in the afternoon so fingers crossed 🤞🤞

@Claire008 that’s brill. We didn’t dtd for a few days before so I’m worried we didn’t do enough. Here’s to a quick 2ww xx

@JayneHill all my fingers crossed for you 💕

Blerghh!! Annoyingly one of my apps has moved my ovulation date again, now one says im 3DPO another says 4DPO and the other says 5DPO! Confusing much! Think I am going to stick with 4DPO as it seems the most logical based on my OPKS and temps although I am wishing for 5DPO so that I can test sooner lol

Anybody on this chat ever get caught from only dtd on ovulation day? X

Hey guys can I join in please? Currently 11/12 DPO. Took a internet cheapie yesterday was obviously very negative. I’ve been trying for 5 months now and AF is starting to feel like she’s on her way. Really want this so bad and feeling disheartened again like every month about it. Every month I think this is it and then it isn’t! It’s so hard :( I’m hoping for a Christmas miracle too 🙏🏽
