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 finally so I’m now in for the christmas bfp!! 🤞🤞

Hi, is anyone trying any additions to help conception apart from supplements, such as meditation, crystals etc

Hi @DOB78. I'vestarted back up on my yoga and meditation practice with affirmations this month. I used to do yoga and meditation a lot but during this pandemic it's lapsed.

I already have a crystal bracelet that I wear everyday.

Have you been trying any of these?

@Claire008 I have a rose quartz bracelet what’s yours? I truly believe in positive affirmations and the first time I was pregnant I said thanks for our baby every day before I was even pregnant xx

@DOB78 mine is rose quartz, moonstone and rhodonite. I also have a rose quartz necklace that I wear all the time.

I absolutely agree that I truly believe in positive affirmations too. I hadn't ever thought of thanking my future baby/babies though, I will definitely start doing that too, thank you for mentioning that xx

Hi @Claire008
Yes I try and meditate everyday and have found a fairly decent fertility one. I also have a crystal bracelet I wear daily and charge every few weeks. I have a belief in the Power of the Universe so have been trying to manifest my wishes.
I sincerely hope we all get our Christmas BFPs

My bracelet is moonstone, aventurine and amethyst.
I'm trying to do all I can without becoming obsessive, this is our 1st month of TTC and I'm covering all the bases

Sorryb@JayneHill I didn't reply to your message properly so sorry! Getting my tagging all muddled 🤦

@DOB78 that sounds like a really good plan. I've found it hard between being proactive but not obsessive sometimes, but I think meditation and yoga pulls me back from being too obsessive.

Really hoping everyone gets their Christmas miracles 💕🎄🎁

Claire008 I'm grateful for this chat, somewhere to let all the questions out, helps to see others feel the same. Symptom spotting, trying not to annoy OH😃, eating junk food, although not KFC.

Damn. SMEP looks like it’s off the table again this month. O date looks like it’s going to be middle of next week and me and the other half are both working 12 hours shifts Wed and Thur. Every month O seams to fall when we are both on long and late shifts. So frustrating. It’s never falls when we have days off! X

@sohe sorry to ask but what's SMEP? I'm not down with kids and have no idea what some of these abbreviations mean🙈

@Sohe don’t lose hope people catch from dtd 3 days before opk and 3 days after xx

@Sohe we go for the most unromantic sex on those days for smep

@DOB78 it’s the sperm meets egg plan. It’s a schedule which is meant to aid fertilisation.

Hi can I join,
Nearing the end of cycle 10 for number 1, no sign or hint of anything at all. Periods regular so I guess lucky with that.
I can't see it happening before Xmas at all, but it would be the most amazing thing in the world if it did.
Good luck ladies.

@DOB78 is the sperm meets egg plan. Pretty easy to follow if you have the time! Time is not on my side it seams though.

@JayneHill thanks. I know we are still in with a chance. It’s so frustrating and I don’t always get EWCM so we try to time it as close as possible.

Fingers crossed! X

Aaawwhhh thanks this is a whole new world to me but one im grateful for. With my older 2 it was stop the pill, DTD and boom theres your baby. I'm hoping it will be that easy this time round.
I'm sure our good news is just around the corner and I can't wait its so exciting

Hi ladies and welcome to all new ladies joining our Christmas group. Hope everyone has had a good day. Xx

@idreamof2more Hi and thanks for the welcome. Good day here full of positivity, peace and good wishes xx

Unfortunately my last bfp ended up in an early miscarriage at 4+5weeks. My second loss in 3 months. So heartbreaking. I’m back to waiting for my next cycle. This Christmas may be a stretch but I’m keeping my fingers crossed still! Xxx

Just wanted to share a positive experience to keep you all going as I know I lived for them!!

After trying and failing For 10 cycles, I made the decision that we would give up at the end of 2018 as I just couldn’t face the devastation every month. Cut to us getting our BFP on 21st December, it was the most amazing Xmas present. I was 33 at the time for context.

The only thing I could say that differed is I had been more strict about taking the conception pregnacare, drank ALOT of water, ate better, used the preseed lube stuff every BD and most importantly I stopped living my life/obsessing about when the Flo App Said I would be ovulating...we just DTD every 2 days from the day after my period for two weeks straight and made a concerted effort to just enjoy what we were doing (rather than there being a reason for it iykwim)

Stress paid a huge part in our journey, I know I did that to myself being so obsessed over it. Weirdly I actually conceived no where near where the app said I was fertile. Good luck to you all x x

@Lille4 so sorry for your loss. Sending big hugs 🤗 🥰🙏

@WhatsErFace2020 hi lovely congrats to you 🥰
Interestingly this month I have decided to stop tracking just relax dtd when we want to and what will be will be. Xx

@Lillie4 I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Sending love and hugs to you both xxx

@WhatsErface2020 Hi thats reassuring to hear. This is our 1st month TTC and as much as I'm trying to do all I can I'm trying not to become obsessive, easier said than done.........
I'm hoping we our lucky in our 1st month but I know the chances of that our slim especially since I'm classed as a 'geriatric mum'.
Keep the updates coming ladies x

@Lille4 I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Sending hugs xxx
