Back to SQUARE ONE CD1! Anyone want to spend April with me?!

Trying to think positive! Just need AF to arrive so I can get started with a new month, fingers crossed she arrives on Wednesday when she is expected. Still a little part of me hopes she doesn't and I get a BFP but I know that is not the case this time.

Sorry for dropping off the thread this weekend. I don’t seem to have had a minute to myself.

So sorry to hear your news Radders, you must be emotionally exhausted with it all.

Hi and welcome Summer, I live in your neck of the woods.
Congratulations Parney, have you calculated your DD?

Nothing exciting to report this end. DH and I went out for dinner last night and I came home super bloated. My tummy's back to normal now thank goodness. DS has been asking for a baby sister all weekend. Obviously a massive coincidence but still a bit strange...we have been really careful not to talk about it near him so it must just be a fluke.

Waves to anyone I have missed and good luck to all of you entering your fertile phase.

My temp dropped today too, so much that fertility friend didn't think I ovulated after all

Positive thinking sucha otherwise the month will drag by slowly .it is more exciting to think of what will be rather than what won't be hun. It motivates you to put more effort and try out new tricks.

tee my cycles are between 28-30 days. I use pink pad to record dates and notes, which is quite useful to look back on all the symptoms I've had this year which have made me think I'm pregnant. Now I can check them off and say - nope that happened before and you weren't pregnant. Get a grip.

AF due 20 May for me. Gah that feels so far off!

Radders the maternity countdown will be so sweet. I hope you are only pushing this back a month

I can't help but feel a bit negative this month, like I just know I'll be getting AF again in a few weeks. I can't really believe I could actually conceive. Better to have low expectations and be surprised I guess.

Ohh radders, have a blessed day!!! Hope you will be OK hun

I'm cd 3 if I take first day of miscarriage as my period. Although bleeding seems to have dried up now.

Thanks tee that's helpful.

Will dtd tonight if AF doesn't come back just in case! Going to go for every other day and then in FW try and do smep again.

If my cycle is 28 days AF will be due 21st may but I don't know how long it will be this month as I've had 28, 26 and then 30 days.

Going to work doesn't have the same appeal this morning as last week when I was pregnant and thinking of getting out of there in 9 months!

Have a good day everyone xx

Morning 💐
Cd6 ,af due around the 15th. My cycles seem to be getting shorter abt 24-26 days now. Dh was so eager to start the sexathon last night and l had it in my head that we are supposed to refuse until fw, so he gags for it later.had to give in today though.

I don't temp so don't know much but thanks tee, got myself a good lesson.

My temp is 36.08 this morning ... That's quite low isn't it? Would that be classified as a dip in normal circumstances??
Surely can't be ovulating!

Sorry about AF tee. Onwards and upwards to next cycle

CD4 over here. Impatient for fw now!

Brazil nuts are quite high in calories but if they do the job then worth cutting back on something else- like bread pasta pastry anything with flour in..they are wasted carbs.

Pineapple is yummy! I've been eating it from start of cycle just to get it into my system. A little bit each day. I chopped it up and put it into a tub in fridge so I could pick at it all week without keep having to cut it up.

Radders, I use to be very fit, but had trauma to my neck in an accident which caused a collapsed disc in my neck, so had trouble with it ever since. I still train others just not so much myself anymore. I crack the whip and only do half of what they have to do ;)

I remember now footprints - sorry I forgot. Who knows what went on there but if you have had double ovulation that's double chances of catching an egg!
you're super fit then if you're a personal trainer!

I definitely could do with shifting a few pounds. I've got a healthy BMI but I don't think it means much as I def need to lose a bit. I've been doing a bit of juice plus.

Thanks Mimi, I am going to start taking the aspirin then. Will take it with all the other tablets I take.. I'm going to rattle.

How many Brazil nuts do you eat a day? And how much pineapple?

It's bizarre because we nearly didn't try this month to avoid December then we decided we didn't care in the end then this all happens.

Tee- Yes I'm a personal trainer. Use to do military/forces but now just private clients.
Self employed-Work around the kids being at school so I have lots of spare time in between clients.

fagè total Greek 0%yogurt is excellent for protein and dairy. Low in calories too.
That with pineapple and few Brazil nuts makes an excellent breakfast! Or pudding!

Just looking through my clients file and they both were on low carb low sugar diets. Hmm.. The investigation continues..

Lots of protein.. Grapefruit every morning..

Both did running and HIT (high intensity training). Great for stress, and releases good endorphins.

CD23 9dpo or 1dpo?!!

Radders- I either just ovulated or I im 9dpo. First ovulation this month I bled straight after LH surge and then got another few positives Friday- Sunday this weekend so I attempted to ovulate again! Weird stuff?!
Will see how I feel next weekend to Test which brings me to when AF is due from 1st Ov date. If no symptoms will hold on til the following week. Really don't think it's my month though !

Tee- yes I'd like to sway pink too! Although my fertility is low anyway as my hormones are high (FSH) and ovaries were a bit sleepy after pill. So to reduce my chances even more is tricky. Especially when I have no idea when I ovulate.?! Too many positive LH surges.
Do u take the aspirin in leutal phase too? Some things are not recommended in the later stage.

Jod- I still have loads of EWCM! Not complaining do u? Do u think u ovulated today?

My boys keep thinking I'm poorly every morning with the temperature thing in my mouth! :)

Good point tee -spring baby sounds good. My youngest is April bub and was great walking pram in park on lazy spring summer days!!

2 of my clients fell pregnant losing weight. They were training with me for a bit whilst trying for baby and both fell pregnant. Both lost over a stone in weight in 6 weeks. Both had girls! Fewer calories may be the key?! For either a girl of a baby!

Parney- hope you are feeling ok.

Nim- Fertility friend is not my friend today as now it thinks I'm going mad with two ovulation days!

So who is next to test ladies?
Hope u all having a relaxing evening. I couldn't resist.. Glass of wine
