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?!

SuchaJem · 26/04/2016 19:35

Radders do you take EPO? I find it shoos away AF a bit more quickly if you start taking them before it's finished.

SuchaJem · 26/04/2016 19:33

Congratulations January!!! Fantastic news.
When did you ovulate again and when did you dtd?!

Hope this lucky thread keeps going for us who are Still waiting our BFPs!

I keep thinking my AF has gone then in the evening it keeps making an appearance again Angry

Summer that is 100% positive ... Whoop! So you will be ovulating within the next 36 hours. Make sure dtd over next couple of days!

I'm fine thanks mimi. Feeling so much better. Just looking forward to trying again this month.

I don't drink at all... My downfall is chocolate...

Summerblush1982 · 26/04/2016 18:57

Summerblush1982 · 26/04/2016 18:43

Ahhhhhhhhhh :-) yesssssss!!!!! Thanks Nim! I've text my hubby 'I'm ovulating...get yourself home'!!!!!!!!!

Nimisha · 26/04/2016 18:41

Summer that one looks definitely positive to me! Get to it!

Nimisha · 26/04/2016 18:39

Congratulations January that's a definite BFP, wishing you a sticky bean.

I have a few drinks too Jod, who knows how long this ttc is going to take and I enjoy a glass of wine, going to have enough time without it anyway. Maybe feeling normal is the best way to be, I don't think those girls with BPFs have much in the way of symptoms.

I'm CD 23 Star 5 days PO and testing the 3rd of May or there abouts.

Summerblush1982 · 26/04/2016 18:37

Ladies, opk test from today, what do you think?

Back to SQUARE ONE CD1! Anyone want to spend April with me?!
Summerblush1982 · 26/04/2016 18:34

Oh my gosh!!! Congratulations January!!!!! That's such good news!!! If you're not convinced, go to docs and do a blood test!!! Really thrilled for you!!!!!! :-) xxxx

physicskate · 26/04/2016 18:31

CD 16 13/5?? according to FF... Think last month has really thrown it out of whack!

Still no sign of Ov... this wait is horrendous! Has anyone successfully shortened their pre-ov time? Neg OPKs and low temps holding super steady (weirdly steady for me!). Work has me super tired, but probably should dtd tonight. FF has my fertile phase starting Thursday, with likely Ov from Monday -Wednesday. Who knows??? Yay for bank holiday Monday!

Congrats January!! How thrilling!

Parney · 26/04/2016 17:36

I'm feeling good January thanks! Tingly boobs today, embracing any little symptom I can! Have you told your partner? The tests aren't telling lies, no need for convincing! In saying that I have tested at least once every day since Saturday Blush

Parney · 26/04/2016 17:34

Great to hear you're back in the game so quickly Tee!! A short AF is a welcome change for you then.

CD3Star/Testing 22nd May
Lots of baby dust to you Footprints and Jod!!! Hoping for more BFPs!
January I felt soooo normal with my DS, until well after 12 week scan, so it took that for it to really feel real! The only thing that kept me believing is that I wasn't having periods.
I think I'm having a weird cycle! As you know, started AF 2-3 days early (based on very regular 27-28 day cycles). Now seemed to have stopped bleeding (was very heavy for 3 days, but I'm usually a good 5 days). AF wasn't due until today/tomorrow, and it's already left! Just did an opk, and a very visible test line. All very strange for me, I reckon I might ovulate super early, so just going to keep testing every day, and the DTD started last night. Can't afford to mess up this month!! xx

Footprints1 · 26/04/2016 16:05

CD25 11dpo or 3dpo!! If I go by 2nd ov- Testing 6th May if AF doesn't show before!

Yay! Congratulations January!! Super news. Bet u are shocked. Xx will it be an actual January baby?! SmileThanksThanks
Is good that u got a positive on the cheapy test as I read somewhere they are not that sensitive. U must have lots of hcg So that's great!

AF would have been due this Friday if first date so if I get any more symptoms I may test but hoping to hold out until 6th May.
I don't feel hopeful at all today.

Jod- we will be testing around the same time Smile

january29 · 26/04/2016 15:54

No dc parney so no idea what this is meant to feel like, I'm still not convinced but am keeping my fingers crossed. Feel like Af is about to start so guess I just need to wait a few days and see how things progress. How are you feeling now?

Been trying a couple of months jod and still don't feel like it can be true! I feel very normal so maybe this is good sign for you too!

Thanks so much for the congratulations, not convinced yet but hopefully it's correct.

Right who is next to test?

Jod1985 · 26/04/2016 15:31

CD ? (Mirena removed 23rd March) Testing 7th May (14 days PO)

Congratulations January!! That's def two strong BFP's. How long are you trying?

Have to admit I was hoping you would tell me you all had a few drinks. I don't get out coz I have the kids but I do enjoy a vino a couple of evenings a week when hubby is off.

For the first time since having the Mirena removed I don't feel AF is coming, I'm not ovulating and I don't feel PG I feel very "normal" and it's annoying. After Ovulation symptoms subsided yesterday I don't feel anything so I have an inkling I'm out and hopefully AF appears on or before the 7th so I can attempt to work out where I am in my cycle. I really thought after Mirena I would experience some bleeding soon

Parney · 26/04/2016 15:28

Have you any DC already January? I don't and I think I've been shaking since Saturday! I felt like AF was about to start too, I think it's normal.
Radders I left it until morning after AF due.

Mimilicious013 · 26/04/2016 15:07

Clear bfp there January congratulations FlowersFlowers

radders I would test day after af is due hun. How are you doing?

january29 · 26/04/2016 14:55

Thanks Tee I was doing the OPK to give me something to think about ready for next month so am/was convinced this month was a no - now my mind is spinning as I just dont think it can be true!
