I thought I may as well start up the April bus since af rudely kicked me off the February bus, and my dh isn't here for March!

Been ttc #4 since September last year. Tricky as dh works abroad so much! I think I'm due to ov on the 3rd of April and dh is home on the 1st, so fx we catch it! I'll be testing round about 17th April.

Anyone else ready to hop on board to keep me company? I have a large bag of mini eggs to share Grin

Wow I've spent ages reading all of your posts, there is definitely comfort in the solidarity that is shown on here.

I hope we all get our BFP very soon. It's absolutely all consuming ttc isn't it?!

I'm new to all this charting ovulation business, feel like I've got a lot to learn Grin

giraffe that's certainly dedication to the cause! Chart's looking good too so fingers crossed for you.

DH super late home from work last night but still just managed to get bd in, temp rise this morning so we've given it best shot. Annoyingly ovulation pain on right yesterday which might decrease our chances given previous csection discovery that I don't have a Fallopian tube on that side! Here's hoping left one is feeling very mobile this month.

baby how's things? First month I took b6 had a random 36 day cycle with lots of spotting, like you I was on holiday at time in middle of nowhere so couldn't test either so I guess will never know whether just weird cycle or cp. Went back to normal after that though and definitely longer LP with it (14 days last few cycles up from 10 when periods first returned after dd). You're still in with a shot!

weechops · 29/03/2016 21:51

Bloody good going Dutchy!!

Jealous of all the lovely holidays right now. I'm desperate for dh to get home on Sunday so I can get a rest! Well, after lots of bonking of course!

under opk's usually always have a faint line throughout the month, they just get darker as you get your surge. No more sex needed ha!

Anyone watching One Born? I think I can't get any broodier then I watch that :)

Please don't tell me to have sex. I just want to read MN in bed with my hot water bottle!

underrugsswept · 29/03/2016 21:02

I took a random OPK today and got a faint line. It definitely went back to a complete negative after my two positives. What's that about?!

Dutchy88 · 29/03/2016 20:20

If my cycles have returned to normal I'm in the tww, if not who knows?!

We dtd 12 days out of the last fortnight which o think with a 6 month old isn't bad going 😉

underrugsswept · 29/03/2016 17:24

Haha thanks baby. The timing was a bit weird this month though. It usually starts 3/4 days before a positive OPK and lasts 1 day afterwards. My money is also on you being knocked up Wink

GinandJazzHands · 29/03/2016 17:02

Hey trying I meant to say I think your feelings are perfectly normal and totally understandable. TTC is such stressful business! I met an old friend who has just had a baby and found myself inwardly wincing when she mentioned that she conceived within two weeks of deciding to start trying. She said it in a 'by the way, make sure you are really ready if/when you decide to have one, as it can happen so quick' sort of a way, but it was pretty smug. DH and I had a good joke about it afterwards, we've only been trying since late November, but I can imagine the same comment in a couple more months time will make me want to smack someone!

GinandJazzHands · 29/03/2016 16:54

baby my money is on you being pregnant! Fx for you - I feel that Bridget Jones moment at the Pharmacy coming on! Just sat at the airport myself, not feeling preggo at all so treating myself to one gin and tonic. I hope you enjoy the slopes despite the stress! Hi to all newbies too!

babyinthacorner · 29/03/2016 15:36

Woah giraffes - hi five! That's dedication! We only managed 3 times this cycle... Blush
Everything crossed for you my love X

Under I hate it when FF does that. Fx for you too. Very jealous of the amount of EWCM on your chart... Now there's a sentence I never thought I'd say!!!

No news here. Boobs still sore and no sign of AF. So if it doesn't show tonight, I'm officially one day late and have had my longest luteal phase since November. Either vit B6 is doing its job or altitude is fucking with me... I HATE THIS LIMBO!!! Why didn't I pack any tests?????

Saria · 29/03/2016 13:36

I definitely ovulated this month (at least ClearBlue seemed to think so), DTD at the right times and the wait to find out is driving me crazy... no signs of AF yet (due on Thursday I think) but I daren't do a test yet it's all I can think about... I'm supposed to be working and my brain just can't focus! ARGH! DH doesn't want us to do a test until we're sure AF is super late... I don't think I can wait that long...

underrugsswept · 29/03/2016 13:02

Nice Giraffe! I took my temp really early today (5am) and FF started questioning whether I'd ovulated so I've discarded it. Fingers crossed it's back up again tomorrow. Confused

No April Fools, just bfp's please! April BFP bus!!
nataliefruit · 29/03/2016 11:35

I haven't even ovulated yet this month and I'm already completely obsessed! Counting down the date until ovulation probably isn't going to help make a baby but I can't seem to help myself this month!

Good luck to everyone in the 2ww

GiraffesCantDoMentalArithmetic · 29/03/2016 11:12

What do you think??? And I am seriously chuffed with that line of XXXXX!

No April Fools, just bfp's please! April BFP bus!!
GiraffesCantDoMentalArithmetic · 29/03/2016 11:10

I'll join you in the 2WW. Just waiting for FF to confirm but got a temp rise this morning. They've been a bit erratic with travelling and getting up in the night with DD but I think that's it.

Blondie87 · 29/03/2016 09:10

I think I'm in the tww with #2.... Not been charting and only had 4 cycles since having DS 11 months so not sure exactly when I ovulated. Always had irregular cycles before having baby, but the past four have been relatively regular. Had ewcm Saturday-Monday and dtd Sunday so I suppose there's a chance I ovulated and timed intercourse correctly. I'm trying not to obsess too much like last time we were ttc as it took 10 months and I don't want to go down that route of looking out gif every twinge but it's hard!
Searching I'll join you!

Sparrowlegs248 · 29/03/2016 08:48

Blimey chocolate 4 out of 5?!?! That's good going! Fwiw the month I got my bfp we dtd twice. Days 8 and 10(short cycles)

searchingchocolate · 29/03/2016 03:45

How's everyone doing? Fairly sure I'll o today (+ve opk yesterday on usual day 14 for me, just waiting for temp rise tomorrow) but because I somehow misread the calender have already bd 4 of last 5 days...need to get enthusiasm up for tonight I guess. Anyone else starting 2ww now?

geordiemummyinoxford · 28/03/2016 22:13

Crossing my fingers I can join you all!

Kellz92 · 28/03/2016 21:58

Mimi so sorry honey :( xx

babyinthacorner · 28/03/2016 20:33

Sorry to hear little one is poorly, giraffes. Get well soon mini G!
And thanks for your altitude expertise Bertie!

babyinthacorner · 28/03/2016 20:32

Oh bugger it. So I WILL get AF, just later than usual. Bloody altitude!!!

Blondie87 · 28/03/2016 18:40

Evening ladies, mind if I join you? Wasn't really looking to start ttc yet but went away last night for the first time since our DS was born last year and got a bit carried away..... Realise that I think I'm ovulating due to ewcm (sorry for tmi)! It took 10 months to conceive DS so think it's unlikely but I'd love some Tww buddies!

BertieBotts · 28/03/2016 18:39

Yes I think so Giraffes. A friend of mine got pregnant unexpectedly because she was only using the rhythm method and a plane journey messed up her cycle only she didn't realise. She's due any day now.

GiraffesCantDoMentalArithmetic · 28/03/2016 18:23

baby do you reckon the altitude messes things up? I've been getting positive OPKs for four days now, which is very odd. And no EWCM either Angry All the DTD is exhausting, so I wish the egg would just bloody pop already!

DD2 is really poorly, so DH and I have had to take turns eating in the restaurant tonight, and it'll probably put the scuppers on DTD tonight, I was determined to get a perfect score on FF too...
