No April Fools on the April BFP Bus, we got cookies

Well I am dusting down the drivers seat and kick starting the April bus for those the BFP fairy missed on the lucky Mad March bus. Fingers crossed the destination for this one is 'Baby Central'.

I don't really know much on short cycles, but I'm sure your GP could offer some advice if you're worried. There are ladies on mn with shorter cycles who I'm sure can help you more than I can! Have you been charting ov and temps etc? Xxx

lisbapalea · 10/04/2013 08:48

I was hoping to poas on Friday but am sure the dull ache in my lower belly means af is on its way. Feel miserable as that means my cycles really are shortening - if af arrives in the next couple of days it means i basically have 3 week cycles. Is it worth me speaking to a gp about that or will they only listen if i have been ttc for a year or so? This was cycle 3 so i know it's early days but my short cycles worry me.

ELA88 · 10/04/2013 08:27

I'm poas Friday! Lol but after the first 2 bfn I wouldn't hold out much hope! AF will be 8 days late by then though! When's your AF due gilly? Xx

gillywillywoo · 10/04/2013 08:21

Anyone POAS soon??? Need some more bfps I think Smile x

Penny31 · 09/04/2013 19:59

Just keep DTD gilly! I ovulated late last month I think, no explanation. Ovulation has been and gone for me so hope I DTD enough. I reckon I'm in the 2ww now. No symptoms rally, some standby pains yesterday and heavy feeling today. If my ov was when I think it I then AF is due on the 20th. Seems aaages away!

gillywillywoo · 09/04/2013 18:57

Lol that's exactly what DH just said Grin

Feeling a bit anxious this month as I had a bit of blood on CD10.. 5 days after AF had gone and it scared me a bit! Never happened before.

Anyway... Drying my hair right now with one hand and typing this with the other on my phone... Then pizza... Then sex Grin lol

gillywillywoo · 09/04/2013 18:50

Saying that... My bbt didn't rise last month until CD20.... After my positive OPKs on CD17 and CD18...

So.. Maybe I don't actually ovulate til CD18-19?!

Hmm. Tomorrow is CD17 so I guess I will just keep on doing OPKs and checking CM ... Keep dtd and see when my bbt rises.

Blaaahhhhh.

gillywillywoo · 09/04/2013 18:42

I have 3 apps and they all say ov day is tomorrow as well!

Last month they were spot on... the day they predicted ov i had lots of EWCM and a positive opk the day before.....but we didn't manage to dtd enough around ov as I was away...

This month... No EWCM yet and the faintest FAINTEST line on OPKs for the last few days (I seem to always have a reasonably faint line anyway)

Just did a clearblue digi... No smiley face :(

Ahhhhh Angry

CandlestickOlder · 09/04/2013 18:31

Day 21 and no ov here either

TobyLerone · 09/04/2013 17:51

Me neither, gilly. Although my app says ov day is tomorrow. I've had faint lines for the past couple of days, but I've never used OPKs before this month, so I'm not sure what to expect.

gillywillywoo · 09/04/2013 17:29

Just posting cos I'm on the bus stuck in traffic in central London and bored!

Wondering why I haven't had a positive OPK yet...

Today is CD16. Last month I had a (reasonably) positive OPK on CD16 and a very very very obvious positive on CD17.

Done 2 OPKs today and not even a faint line!

Grrrr Angry

Got some clearblue digis at home but don't like using them unless I have to... So expensive!

Really want to ovulate before the weekend as DH and I are going to stay with my parents on friday and won't really get a chance to dtd!

Bbt is still low... So.. Definitely hasn't happened yet. Hmmm.

gemma277 · 09/04/2013 14:35

Congrats to all new BFP's try and spread the baby dust. Bfn... For me. Caved in this morning bfp due on Friday but thought with first response just maybe. Had really bad cramps the past two days and no AF yet. Anyways, Surprise Surprise. I will just have to wait a little longer....

littlepinkfizz · 09/04/2013 14:15

Yes congratulations to all new BFPs! Will this bus be even more lucky than the March one?

Here's hoping! Grin

Mythreeknights · 09/04/2013 13:06

Congrats to all new BFPs, this truly is a lucky bus -must be all the naughty food we brought on at the start Wink.

Well, my AF is due 15th April, so less than one week to go...to take my mind off my imaginary sore boobs, I've signed up to do a 10km run on the 20th, so I'll either be 5 weeks pregnant or ready to start DTD again in May when I run up and down those hills. At least it stops me worrying about being upduffed, now I am worrying about how unfit I am.

Good luck to all POASers over the next few days!

Hi!

Fx for next month Fuls.

Day 21 here, still no temp rise and AF due in less than a week.

Anyone know how soon i should go to the docs if I'm not ovulating? Leave it a couple of months?
