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'.

Wow, congratulations Alyssa!!
(This really does look like a lucky thread....hopefully I joined this bus lark at the right time Wink ))

Hooray!! Congratulations alyssa!!

Alyssa1978 · 08/04/2013 20:58

Wow congrats ganetgob so happy for you.

Ok so I did my frer and a bfp shot up as soon as the pee hit the stick and the test line was darker than the control line, so I've waited and done my digi and it said "pregnant 3+"
I guess I ovulated earlier this cycle, kinda shocked but me and DF are over the moon.

WanabeMum · 08/04/2013 20:44

Ooh more BFP's!! Grin
Can someone put me on the list as cycle 1, BFP due 15th April? Thanks
Flowers to all the BFP ladies, hoping you will bring the rest of us luck, seems lucky so far - 8th April and 6 BFP's is a pretty good score!

gillywillywoo · 08/04/2013 20:26

24-48 hours I think.....?!

Penny31 · 08/04/2013 20:06

Thanks gilly! I had lots of EWCM of Friday actually....you only ovulate for a day don't you? Best DTD tonight just in case!

gillywillywoo · 08/04/2013 19:40

Btw I think you could still be ovulating...!

Last month I had a positive OPK on CD16... On CD17 the line was just as dark and on CD18 the line was even darker which I didn't think was possible as it was already very dark!

I had EWCM on CD17 and CD18 however my bbt didn't rise until CD20 so I think I actually ovulated on CD18 or CD19... Which was annoying because I was away with family WITHOUT DH by that point! Hmm

Anyway.. You might as well dtd some more! Wink

gillywillywoo · 08/04/2013 19:37

Charting isn't as complicated as it sounds...

I have the fertility friend app on my phone... And also one called "my cycles plus".

Every morning as soon as I wake up (has to be the same time every day) I take my temp... I use a bbt thermometer I bought on amazon made my "babymad" and it was £4.99!

I put the temp into the app and the app does the rest.

My temps range between 36.1 - 36.4 for the first half of my cycle... Once is ovulated there is a sharp rise and my temps range between 36.7 - 37.1 for the second half of the month.

If you are pregnant then the temp remains high... If AF is on the way my temp drops a day or so before!

Basically we dtd as much as poss before my temp rises cos once its risen its generally too late and you have already OV'd.

It always matches up with symptoms and OPKs as well so it's quite interesting! Smile X

Penny31 · 08/04/2013 19:19

I also have a bit of pain/cramping in ovary area that's why I wondered if I was actually ovulating now but surely not 4 days after a positive opk?

Penny31 · 08/04/2013 19:18

No I don't chart my bbt....I don't know how :s will look into it if I have no success this month. I hope I did have it covered :) did my best! Lol

TobyLerone · 08/04/2013 19:13

I'm in my first month of using OPKs, so I don't know, Penny. I haven't had a positive yet, but my app says I should ovulate on Weds, so it'll be interesting to see if they tie up.

gillywillywoo · 08/04/2013 19:12

Penny I reckon you had probably OV'd already and it sounds like you covered it dtd-wise Wink
Do you chart your bbt as well? That would help!

Penny31 · 08/04/2013 19:11

Wow 6 BFPs already, this is a lucky bus!

I got a strong positive on opk on thurs. DTD tues, Thursday, fri, sat. I still have a very faint positive on opk today. Is it likely that I have ovulated now??

MrsAVB · 08/04/2013 18:47
