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

Idreamof2more. Really sorry to hear this, can you guys sit and talk things through with each other? Have a real heart to heart and explain it was a mistake? Something you said when you felt unwell and emotional. I really hope you can work this out xxx

Sorry to hear that @Idreamof2more. Maybe just give him some time? Just as you were reacting to being so unwell, maybe he was feeling the same? Like he didn’t want you to go through that again? I agree with @DOB78 that a real heart-to-heart can help understand where he’s coming from, and for you to explain how you’re feeling, and hopefully work through everything together. I really hope you can resolve things, and hope you are recovering well from your op.

Hello :) cycle 5 for us and patiently awaiting ovulation. Lots of ewcm but low OPKs so just going to wait :) been bd lots this cycle to take away the 'task' element of it and just enjoying my partner :)

@SofiaVergara same. Cycle 5 after mmc so keen for things to start happening again. Only in CD6 so I’m in for a wait! Good luck with this cycle.

Hi ladies thank you sm for your replies. So we ended up dtd last night although was second day of peak ov so very doubtful. He wasn’t too keen but I managed to persuade him. Think it will take him time to get his head back into the idea. Feel bad because he thought I had had my peak so mixed feelings. I just know deep down he does want another just scared. Let’s see what happens now. Good luck all can’t wait for more jingle babies 👶🏼 🎄

@Idreamof2more hopefully that did the trick! Y’know we’re definitely more ambivalent this time ttc DC3. DC1 was unplanned and DC2 was a case of whenever I was good to go again! We’d always talked about having 3 but then I got really sick with long covid in March and that really changed things. I think now my DH would be happy to stick at 2 but he knows how much I want another, although I also have my doubts about whether it’s wise to roll the dice again. My womb and my heart always shout my head down though. So let’s deck the halls with BFPs

Do you all think this ovulation test looks positive? The control is the one closest to the green.

It’s 3 days before I’m suppose to ovulate

Congratulations to those with bfps.
My AF came this week and now onto cycle 11. Hope some more of us get a positive for Christmas 😊

Cycles are soooo long when you are ttc aren't they?! I'm only on cd9!! So bored already haha. Just making sure we dtd at least every other day and I'll use my opks around cd11 just in case!

I am bbt charting too but unfortunate missed yesterday's and this mornings so unsure how accurate it'll be this month! Xx

@idreamof2more glad you guys are working through things.
I really have no idea where I'm up to right now according to premom app today is CD16 and ovulation day but i have covid and body doesn't feel like its my own.
DTD this morning but have no idea if this will amount to anything. I guess I now have TWW to see what happens.

Bless you @DOB78 hope you feel better soon xx

Hey, hope it's ok to jump in. TTC #2 here. Have been trying for about 9 months now. Hoping to get a positive result before the end of the year. Trying SMEP this month. Something has to work! Congrats to those who've had their BFP.

I'm starting to get close to peak as OPKs are changing.

One of my neighbours told a few of the neighbours today that she is pregnant. Genuinely happy for her but also jealous too.

Hi all
Would love to join the chat! I'm on month 3 of ttc, hoping to ovulate on/around 5th Dec and finding it hard this month. It's all I can think about! I'm wishing the days away desperate to get to ovulation time. I track my bbt in natural cycles and have also stocked up on OPO tests! I am getting way too carried away with myself working out potential due dates etc. It's SO hard to play it cool!

@Leonberger I’m new to OPKs but looks like it’s approaching the peak? I’ve been using the Femometer app which reads the lines for you which is helpful for a novice like me.

@littleeggcup omg yes. Even with my stupid 23 day cycles I’m in the eternal period of doom, going straight into the pressure of trying to be arsed to shag through fertile week then the even-more-eternal tww.

Ah thanks @Aozora13, I’ll see if I can find that app.

I’ve had a rubbish few days! I think I’ve missed O as was in a strop with DH last night and I think today might be O day
Also 3 people close to me have announced pregnancies today

Hi all,

I've been watching this post patiently waiting for AF or a BFP however AF made an appearance this morning, drove myself mad symptom spotting last month so really going to try not to do that this month 🤥 Onto the next.... hopefully we will see some Christmas BFP's soon 🤞🏻

Morning everyone.

Start of my TWW today. I feel all sexed out tbh but am going to try and DTD a fair bit over the next 10 days or so as you never know! DH also complained the other day that he felt like last month I was only interested in sex during my fertile window and he doesn’t want sex to just be about making a baby, which is fair enough.

Determined to not symptom spot this month as last month I had every symptom going and definitely wasn’t pregnant

Said I was going to use OPK’s this month but didn’t get round to buying any and part of me thinks it’d just make me more obsessed so decided not to this month. It’s only our 2nd cycle so I think I’ll start to use those after Christmas if we don’t get a BFP this month. Did use pre-seed for the first time last night (supposed ovulation day according to my Flo app) and will continue to do so now I think.

Best of luck to all!

@Leonberger its so hard when those close to you make their annoucements isnt it! You are so happy for them but also a little sad for yourself.

@SweetShopSurprise fingers crossed!! Its so hard not to symptom spot

@s345 sorry AF arrived, hopefully next month is your month

Just starting my fertile window according to Flo, ovulation at the end of the week - hopefully!!

Thank you @MrsF111 It just feels rubbish when you do what you can but you just can't control it 😂Going to try SMEP this month, feel like it's quite good to try and stick to! Will you use OPK or anything to confirm ovulation? Fingers crossed for you xx

@Leonberger. I'm at the other end of the scale all my friends have older children and would think I was nuts for having a baby. We've not told anyone can't be arsed with the faces or judgement. The nurse at the sexual health clinic was more than enough with her shitty remarks

@DOB78 I wouldn’t listen to what anyone says- it’s your life!!

On a more miserable note I think I’m going to give up this month. DH wouldn't DTD yesterday or today as he said I’m acting crazy and it’s a turn off and I’m sure I’ve ovulated today anyway or at least am very close so it feels pointless. I’m really upset with him as he knew how important it was that we hit these days but every fertile week ends in an argument as he won’t do it with any pressure involved and he always knows!

I’m ready to rethink the whole thing as it’s making me miserable and a little bit crazy. This is my 7th cycle and every month is worse than the previous

Sorry for ranting here, I haven’t told anyone in real life about this at all!

@Leonberger it’s so frustrating when they know there is a such a narrow window and sometimes they don’t seem to care. It’s like they think they cannjust do their bit whenever they like and it will be a success! Some months I can’t get the other half to leave me alone, then all of a sudden fertile days hit and he isn’t in the mood. I just don’t really tell him anymore, however I have had to make sure I’m hitting the sheets more often so he doesn’t become suspicious that bedroom activity is increasing 🙈.

But yes I understand how you are feeling. Men can be such pricks sometimes. I haven’t told anyone either so until I found these forums I only had him and the cat to talk to about it x

Just checking in.

I had an early scan yesterday (? Ectopic) and they couldn't find anything. At all. A week to wait for the next one and I'm very anxious about it. Looks like up to 80% of pregnancies they can't find can be ectopic from my reading.

I've had hcg bloods Friday: 582
Sunday: 1434
Today: going tonight and won't find out!

LMP wise I'm 5+5 but ovulation wise I think closer to 4+6. I'm praying that yesterday was just too early and it's in the right place.

Unfortunately the dread and waiting doesn't seem to end with a bfp

@Sohe thanks for replying Hes normally the one wanting sex but as soon as it’s the week he just decides it’s not for him. We did it once 3 days before what I think was ovulation and that’s it I spoke to him about it last month and he promised to try but then he’s done the same thing again because he said I’m acting too crazy about it
It was different with DC1 as it just happened by accident, none of this but that was years ago now.

I’ve got everything crossed for you @NamechangeTTC. Hopefully your dates are just a bit behind. I remember my first pregnancy being over a week behind my dates too, they wouldn’t believe me that I didn’t ovulate on the 13-14th day of cycle like everyone else. Will you be getting a repeat scan?
