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'.

Hello. TTC #1, cycle 4, bfp due 16th Smile

Penny31 · 24/03/2013 17:38

Please can I have a ticket on this bus? Just had to get off the march one today due to late AF coming on with all her might.

Stocked up on opk's and ready for action!

Penny31 · 24/03/2013 17:35

Wardy I had watery CM 4 days before I ovulated so I don't think it's ovulation because then I had my usual ov cm....tmi i was using quite a lot of conceive plus the night before so I think it may have been that! Do you use it?

Wardy17 · 24/03/2013 15:30

Over the last few days I have had an increased amount of cm and its very thin and watery and creamy in colour (sorry tmi) anyone know what that means?
Some websites say watery cm is fertile cm but I had my positive OPKs on Sunday and Monday last week? I couldn't be ovulating now could I?

ELA88 · 24/03/2013 14:34

marie I felt like that yesterday, I barely slept Friday night as I was so hot, sore throat really aching legs, I thought I was getting sick so maybe that was ov! Xxx

ela no you don't ovulate if on the pill. I finished the pill in October after 14 years. First cycle was just 23 days, then 36 days, then 31, then 27 and 27 again, so hoping things have become regular again now. You might have varying cycles for a while?? I have been getting ov pains since finishing pill but this month had nothing. However I woke up with a temp of 38, sore throat and aching joints. I googled away and apprarently ov can cause flu like symptoms for a few women. Hope this won't happen every month!

Anyone know much about luteal phase defects??I only have 11 days luteal phase. Some websites say that anything less than 12 is a problem, some sites say less than 10. I'm confused Confused and wondering if I should be worried.

ELA88 · 24/03/2013 08:34

So far I've had a 28day cycle then 31 days, so could possibly be ov if I'm having a 32 day cycle. It was literally just for an hour but quite painful! When I was on the pill I wouldn't have ovulated would I? So I wouldn't have got that pain? Lol sorry if that's a stupid question! Xxx

Bajas · 23/03/2013 18:32

Could be ovulation all right ELA. Are your cycles regular? My last was only 17 days before Af showed her ugly face again (and previous cycles had all been 30 plus since I came off pill)

ELA88 · 23/03/2013 18:24

Ladies! I have cramps low down, like period pain, I'm apparently on cd18 but could be more or less than that. Do you reckon it's ovulation? It's quite uncomfortable but surely way to early for AF?! Xxx

Bikey86 · 23/03/2013 17:44

Hello Everyone, I'm new to MN and have been learning a lot from your thread. I'm 26 as is DH and we have decided to ttc# 1. I came off the pill in Feb and I wanted to wait until the bleed and 1st AF arrived before we started trying. AF here now so will soon be TTC, can you add me to the list please. Bikey86 TTC # 1 cycle #1 Bfp due 11th April?? x

Hi all and welcome new people. Snowed in this weekend and still blowing a blizzard outside. Thought it would be perfect for a weekend of dtd but dh still managed to get to work (a and e nurse so felt he had to be there- even though it took him hours). Just hope he makes it home tonight!

barebranches · 23/03/2013 12:14

ok! im out of my fertile period...now to play the waiting game! fingers x to everyone!

Sorelip · 22/03/2013 13:24

I'm jumping on the April bus. AF finally arrived on 20th March. Strangely, I was relieved - late AF but no BFP is sooo frustrating! I've added myself to the bottom of the list.

Just stepped off the March bus. Have added myself to the bottom of the list. Now on cycle 18 and starting to get a bit despondent. My plans for a small gap between children have been blown out of the water. Now starting to think I won't be able to have another child. Sad

padster75 · 22/03/2013 06:40

Hi ladies,
Thanks marie & weechops for your kind words, I was really having a 'woe is me day'. Don't think I have OV yet, have had some cm and DH has finally pulled his dick finger out and remembered what to do.
at all new passengers, all are welcomed abroad, I really hope this is the last bus ride for us.
Hope you all have a good day & enjoy the weekend, we have another busy one so may just be a lurker for a few days.

Hello all. Sorry I've not been on much, internet issues. Am on my phone but that's being silly too. Can't see the posts properly. Hope ur all well. Am in 2ww so not a lot going on for me atm. Gonna try not to test early this month. Bfp due 1st april :) x

QueenofClean · 21/03/2013 20:14

Well I'm getting comfy in my seat! Only I thing I have an ishoo with about getting a BFP in April is that if we do then the peanut will have a birthday very close to DD2 & means another Xmas baby. DD2 was born 22nd Dec 2011 although we wasn't discharged from hospital until Xmas day, the post-natal and Neo-natal wards were lovely and Christmassy tho Smile

Bajas · 21/03/2013 20:05

Looks like a lot of us are hitting our fertile time together. It'll hopefully be an exciting few days in early April when we're all poas!

marie456 · 21/03/2013 18:47

Yay weechops ! Get dancing!
I had positive opk tues and weds. DTD Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues, Weds and will do it tonight as well. Is everyday bad for sperm quality? Any views on every other day instead? ...Have both been taking our conception vits from cycle day 1 and using the preseed all this week. Feeling hopeful for this month aswell as will hopefully know by my birthday (5th April) if im upduffed, so either amazing or totally sh*t present. If bfp that will mean a 2013 baby still (2014 sounds soooo far away) and the 3 month scan should fall very close to the first anniversary of my lovely Grandads passing, which would make a sad time a much happier one! Not that I've been thinking about all this too much! I realise I now sound like a massive freak! Blush Aaaagggghhh! Someone lock me up!!!

Wardy17 · 21/03/2013 18:44

Good luck weechops

weechops · 21/03/2013 17:57

Poas for the second time today and just got a smiley face :) so happy we get a real shot at it this cycle! Usually dh is still on an oil rig when I'm ovulating.
