So AF got me this afternoon!! Trying not to get down in the dumps (although I just watched 'one born every minute' on catch-up and sobbed!)
Dusting myself off and hoping for better luck in April! A few stats:
Age-33
TTC-5th cycle
DC-1 DS (3.5 years old)
Anyone else at the start of their cycle and trying something new in the hope of a more successful month?!

AF due today. The jury is out on whether it's coming or not. I'm a bit crampy? Had slightly brown tinged cm this morning does this mean anything?

Hopes officially up this month, expect a pity party over here if AF does show up! Sad

raddersmrs · 21/04/2016 08:25

Yay newhair!!!
That's exactly how I feel so looking forward to the digital.
Are you having any symptoms yet??

Mimi - headaches are horrible. Need to get bp down by not worrying .. Easier said than done I know.

Tee - not long now for you until you test.

Can't wait to see some more BFPs either this month or in the coming months xx

Hope everyone has a good day. Nearly the weekend!

Morning,

It's positive! Feeling happy but also a tiny bit shocked as even after the positive FRER I wasn't convinced. DH is delighted too.

Can't believe that 5 star babys programme. Some people have so much money!!!

Suchajem when is AF due for you?? I know you were same CD as as me ..

raddersmrs · 20/04/2016 22:11

I know I was thinking that ... I've read that symptoms normally kick in at about 6 weeks.

I'm still not convinced I'm pregnant. Won't believe it until I see the digital now I don't think.

I concentrated so much on getting pregnant that i kind of didn't think about what it's like when you do .... And a different type of worry starts. I know it's a really happy time but I honestly don't feel like I can be happy and excited yet because it's so early. Just concentrating on not getting stressed!

Don't mean to sound moany or anything because I know you are all waiting for BFPs ... Just my stance on things and that moment ..!

SuchaJem · 20/04/2016 21:34

radders don't blame you wanting to see it written. You'll probably get loads of symptoms next week and wish it had stayed like this Smile

psychickate ofsted? Hope it went well. My mums a teacher - ofsteds send her over the edge.

I'm watching 5 star babies too Shock

Nimisha · 20/04/2016 21:29

Radders, I just watched five star babies on sky plus, wasn't like that when I gave birth!

Good luck tomorrow new hair I had a proper positive on an internet cheapy OPK so I think it can help time dtd, especially if struggling to find the time for every other day.

How you feel better soon Jod.

I'm very bloated today CD 17 and I look pregnant already, I'm only short so it's really obvious when I get bloated. Last night of dtd then a rest I think.

raddersmrs · 20/04/2016 21:21

Physicskate hopefully you will ovulate in a few days ... Maybe a bit early still...

Men just don't understand! I think they think it just happens. I reminder when I told my Oh about it all he just couldn't believe it and didn't realise at all. It really helped us though him knowing because he realised how critical it was we did it at the right time

raddersmrs · 20/04/2016 21:18

I'm just watching that five star babies ..... Omg!

physicskate · 20/04/2016 21:16

CD 10

Hi all,

I've been MIA because we just had an inspection and life has been HELL. Upwards and onwards! Temps holding steady. I got home early enough (worked from home all evening, whoop) and did an OPK. VERY negative, as in nothing, so I guess that means I don't have PCOS causing the few irregular cycles that I've had. It must just be stress.

I'm feeling quite apprehensive at the moment about all of this, now that TTC is real. It's quite scary. But I'm not getting any younger (I'd forgotten last week that I already turned 32) and now is the prefect time for some pretty big upheavals and changes.

So chuffed for you radders. Jod and sucha, really think there could be something up!

Tee my husband has said he doesn't think I should temp or OPK, but normally we only DTD about once a week because of our crazy lives, so I don't reckon that would give us good chances, but he thinks it's all a con. Men are such idiots, especially when they know nothing about cycles!!

Jod1985 · 20/04/2016 20:31

I think you are right to wait to do the digital radders
I did exactly that when I was PG with both of mine.
It's exactly 4 weeks today from I had the coil removed. It feels like a lifetime! Still no sign of AF. Had to go to bed this afternoon as felt so sick and tired!!

raddersmrs · 20/04/2016 20:09

Hello! Lots to catch up on, had to wait to have time to read through everything.
Hope everyone is ok.

Nimisha - I know it's tiring keeping up with dtd but at least you've done it at the right time. Sounds like the type of ovulation pains I get.

Footprints - if it wasn't for the bleed everything would be normal - sounds like you ovulated and your temps indicate that too.

Mimi - sorry to hear about AF but onwards and upwards with the next cycle. Sending lots of positive hugs your way. I've had it before where it's not put the message through and I've had to rewrite it! If I write loads I copy it before I send it now! Least you can indulge in drink and chocolate. I'm such a chocoholic p... Got lots for my birthday and trying to steadily eat it rather than binge like I normally do!
My OH ate my last Ferraro rocher though Angry

Jod still convinced something is going on in there!

Parney still might be too early to show anything so fingers crossed for you and AF stays away at the weekend.

Suchajem - feeling positive for you

Sorry if I've missed anyone!

I've not got any further symptoms to report. Just thick and creamy CM. I honestly feel no different at the moment and that's why it's difficult to take in and believe it's real I think.
I've done a u turn and can't be dealing it's just seeing a line any more as even though I know a line is a line they're not really dark and so I just want to see pregnant written! I've bought one online so should hopefully arrive by weekend for me to test again then. I'm not doing another one until then. I've done one everyday since Saturday!

Just about to catch up on one born every minute! Eeeeeek

Footprints1 · 20/04/2016 19:41

Sucha- don't think it was implantation as was only 1-3 days after ovulation. Think that would be too soon. Really don't think it will happen this month now.

Minor cramping today and tired but apart from that nothing..

SuchaJem · 20/04/2016 18:29

footprints are you sure it couldn't have been implantation blood? I'm sure I've read that lots of women mistake it for their period.

Sorry about AF mimi lots of ThanksWineChocolate for you xx

newhair digital test is exciting keep us posted tomorrow!

Not out until your out parney! Any inkling?

Def keen to stay in May you lot are ace Smile

Parney · 20/04/2016 14:28

AF always bang on 14 dpo so Saturday for me!

Parney · 20/04/2016 14:27

I'm expecting AF this weekend! Couldn't resist an IC after I posted this morning! BFN! Blah!!! Ah well CD 24, so if she's going to show I hope she hurries up! Definitely staying for May!!

newhairdontcare · 20/04/2016 13:29

Mimi, hope you are feeling better today.

Goodness Jod, it does sound like you are pregnant. Sorry about your ankle.

Fx to everyone in their 2ww. Sorry not addressing you all personally, I am on my phone and can't see the full thread.

I have just bought a digital test to do tomorrow morning (AF due tomorrow). My main symptom is bloating. I am fairly slim (size 8-10) but my belly has been bloated for a week now. This may be down to too much food though whilst away with work. No sore boobs etc, but I didn't get this with DS either.

I will let you know what tomorrow brings.

Footprints1 · 20/04/2016 11:30

Yes will be lovely to keep chatting to you all. Can't wait to see how everyone is doing each day. Something to look forward to :)

Jod1985 · 20/04/2016 10:37

I really love this thread. I hope we keep it in May?!

Mimilicious013 · 20/04/2016 09:16
