Not Just Cycle Buddies!
Hi Friends! Lots of us have gotten our BFPs these past few cycles and we all aren't "cycle buddies" anymore. I feel like we need a place to connect and keep up the conversation with each other. This way we can keep chatting even if some of us aren't pregnant and some of us are. I'm just starting my 6th cycle TTC and hoping that this will be the one. Please join in and update us on where you are and how you are feeling.

DiviniumLiv-if that’s what you feel go with it. I didn’t do opk this last cycle only temp. But FF and CTP kept saying I O later than what’s I thought. AF came right on Day was suppose to. So our women intuition is right now. Don’t stress over like I did though just go with what you feel. I am going to do the pineapple core thing to this cycle as well. Only for 5 days correct??
Flamingogirl- hopefully AF stays away. I was getting really happy for you when you said you had AF type cramps at 8-9dpo.

FlamingoGirl13 - pineapple, and especially the core, contains an enzyme called bromelain that is both anti-inflammatoric, pain reliever and blood thinner. So it can help with implantation, especially if it there is a problem with implantation caused by the immune system.
Beaut1ful38 - How many days depends on where you read, I guess. I've read about only 5 days, some pages say 6-8 days and I've even found a page that says 10-14 days (from ov to af). So I think I'll try about 6-8 days or longer. Couldn't hurt to try, especially since I have fibromyalgia.

@ dragonfly23 - I know ultrasounds must be amazing when you have a little one growing inside you, but if you don't need anymore then that's a very good thing! It means he's happy and healthy in there and that the doctors aren't worried about anything. I hope your second half of pregnancy flies by and you get to meet him in no time. Have you and your DH come up with any boy names you like. If you want to share of course!
@DiviniumLiv - Thanks for the info! I was wondering why people talked about pineapple core as a conception aid. Pineapple unfortunately does not sit well with me and I can barely eat two little fresh pieces with out getting stomach/intestinal cramps. I love pineapple though and miss eating it.
@nanapouka1 - Was it dark red blood with clots in it? If you had clots and regular menstrual bleeding then the chances of pregnancy are low. If it would make you feel better you should take a test to help make things clear.
AFM - 14 of 15 dpo and no AF for me yet. Had some more low grade cramps last night and breasts are still tender. If AF is a no show today and tonight I will take a test in the morning. I'm feeling positive and holding myself back from feeling to optimistic at the same time. I think I'm trying to prevent to hard of a let down if AF does show. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

@FlamingoGirl13. We haven't discussed any names. You see, he got to pick our daughter's name and we made a deal that I get to pick the boys name. Hoping he will like it and not make me pick a different one. Girl names are easy to pick but not boys. I really hope this is it for you and you get your BFP. Praying for you.

I got my BFP this morning!!!! It feels so surreal but I can't stop smiling. I'll be grinning all day. I feel so wonderful. All those months trying and we finally did it. Thank you ladies for all the company these past months. This site has made this journey easier to bear and I've enjoyed sharing the ups and downs with all of you. I know many of you have become true friends and I hope we remain in each others lives.
I posted my positive if anyone wants to look. DH thought it was cute that I took two tests! I wanted those words pregnant to come up after I saw the FRER positive.
