April BFP thread

Where do u get the interenet cheapys from? Which ones aré the best? Link??

Hello, just wanted to introduce myself.

TTC#1 since December (4th cycle). I got a BFN on Monday, have had more and more spotting over the past couple of days so expect AF to turn up either tonight or tomorrow. Cycles seem to be around 35 days at the moment, so POAS day will probably be around 18th April. Looking forward to AF getting here and then pissing off so we can get on with the SWI again!!

Nice to see you over here as well, Finn :)

Good luck, everyone!

Welcome mildred' and winkly* we'll let you off your cheating ways! Let's keep positive and every time we feel on a bit of a downer remember we're not alone I guess ladies

Another cheater!

Hello Mildred

Hello,

Will be joining the merry wagon..

TTC number 1, Cycle 7, MMC Dec.
Will be testing this month on Mar31st. Really trying not to get hopes up this month as really felt low when AF turned up last week..

Slightly trying to reverse psychologise ( made up word I know) myself by thinking I wouldn't want a Christmas baby.. It's not working!

Fingers crossed all!!

Hello Winkly

We'll let you join, even though it's cheating

I just had peas for my dinner, argh!

Can I join in even though I'm actually due on 29th March? Cycle 5 for me.

Evening all, nice to see some noobies

Hai, if I were you I'd have POASed already, those bumper packs of internet cheapies don't last long round here!

I started bleeding today. We DTD on Saturday and last night, don't know if it's connected, too early for implantation and besides I don't think I've OVed yet this cycle, only on CD11 and got a -ve OKP last night. Probably (very) early menopause knowing my luck!

Welcome tetley and finbarr

Tetley- lot's of seducing sounds like a very good plan, get lots in there at the ready. Masses of finger crossing for you, would be typical if you got your BFP on the month you go to the docs, it happened to a friend of mine, she had been trying for nearly 2 years, and boom! She felt a little silly but obvs v v happy. So best of luck to you.

hai
It's been a long time since I've been on the pill.. But back when i was, if i was to miss a pill or two (and I did!) i would get a mini period/heavy spotting- not as bad as AF, and although I had some naughty time I never fell pregnant. If it were me, I would POAS, but only if I had some cheapies, to put my mind at rest, but not be a waste of money, as deep down I would prob believe I wasn't, but you always hold onto that little bit of hope don't you! You deff wouldn't be alone there!

I've felt ovulation before, this wasn't as painful, I think it's just things having a bit of a rumble in that ovary beforehand, I'm going to cover all bases incase it does mean I might OV a bit earlier and just start the SWI process

Sorry thats meant to say dtd at the end of the pack

Omg whats wrong with my mind, i thought when af came the symtom spotting stopped. But even tho when i stopped takin my pill i got a bleed i still "feel" pg.

My bleed was alot lighter than usual but did last 4 days, have been having headaches and fluttery feeling in tummy today.

I did miss quite a few pills in My last month and dtd at the and of my pick and missed the pill the day we dtd.
Is it posible or am i goin crazy

Is it worth poas? Or would that be a waste

I'm just marking my place, I'm on CD 10 and I ovulate really early so we DTD last night and I'll have to work on my seducing techniques for the new few days ;)

I've got my first hospital appointment with the gyno on Thursday as we've been TTC#2 for 18 months now, but I have high hopes for this month for some reason :) fingers crossed for everyone!

Hey all. BFN today so April it will be!! Just marking my spot!

cookies, i have no idea, but i have heard that sometimes you can feel ovulation.
maybe u were feeling the egg start to travel, although i dont know how long your cycle is and CD8 does seem very early for ovulation.

I have found I am feeling alot more things going on in there now were ttc its very annoying

Winkle I reckon you're fine, try not to worry my dear.

Hai, yeh unfortunetly it's hard when you come off contraception, some people are really lucky little buggers who get that egg to that sperm just by looking at each other, but more often than not your body wants to regulate itself a bit first I guess. I found it really hard when you don't have a clear CD, but it will, probs next month.. No harm in trying now they say every other day throughout the cycle works best.. So this is my own personal goal

A quick question if anyone can answer.. I had quite a lot of pains on my ovary last night? I'm only Cd7, maybe 8, am only just getting over AF, are things starting to happen in there already?!

Think I will have to cook up a nice curry for us tonight then get down the the seducing tonight after

I have also heard that brazil nuts are good for men too.

Think im panicking that I have missed my time this month as because I have only just come off the pill I have no idea when I will ovulate really and what to give us a good chance by atleast dtd 3 times a week

Ooh my oh will be so pleased when I tell him he gets to have all the coffee he wants aswell as dtd round the clock! He might be sad about the peas though lol.

So what's with the soy thing? I'm a vegetarian and eat lots of quorn and meat free products, do they have soy in them?

Oh and Bye peas and soya!!

And whhhhhy can't caffeine help US?! The Mr doesn't even like coffee- how unfair is that?!

I can't believe how much I've learnt from the thread already, thanks for sharing ladies

You can get preggers , a lot of docs etc say to wait a month till you get a proper period.. But I think this is down to dating the pregnancy, which surely can be done at a 12 wk scan?! Personally I don't think I'd wait as I'm too impatient! Do you think you could be ovulating soon? I'm sure there's still time don't worry. Just enjoy feed him up and seduce him tonight and good luck!

Good luck wish trying to relax walnut

That something new, i dont eat peas anyway, horrible little Green demons.

Am freaking out atm cus we didnt dtd last night as dh had a lona day at work and has man flu

Will never get a april bfp at this rate, wanted to SWI right away as just come off pill and heard u could ovulate straight away.

hi iheart, hai, mini, cherry ... & anyone else I've missed!

okay, so I'm switching back to regular milk! No more soy milk for me.

In the first two cycles, I almost completely cut out alcohol and caffeine, but this month have decided I'm going to relax about it a bit. I'm not going to go out and binge drink but I will probably have one-two coffees a day and one or two wines when I feel like it. When I conceived no1, I was on holidays and having at least that a day until i knew I was pregnant! Also taking the regular pre-concept vits and and this month both DH and I are taking zinc. And relaxing. Did I mention I'm going to try to relax???!!!

Hello can I join you Ladies please I am on cd7 cycle 6 AF due between 3rd-6th April.

Taken from conceiveplus.com (don't know if they're worth listening to):

"Peas: A chemical in peas have anti-fertility effects for both men and women. Scientists discovered that the birth rate in Tibet was considerably lower than other parts of the world. The cause was found to be peas, a staple food for the population. In clinical trails performed in the USA women were given the chemical (in capsule form) found in peas and pregnancies dropped by 60%. In men sperm rates were slashed by 50% too.

Soy Products: Soy foods contain a natural source of estrogen which can be beneficial but if you are trying to get pregnant any excess in estrogen can cause hormonal imbalances. The result is often interference with ovulation and egg production. It is therefore wise to avoid all forms of soy foods when you are tyring to get pregnant."

That's two things I've learned already from this thread. Thank you!
