TTC #2 April BFPs

@geegeegirl yes I get ovulation bleeding.

Well my plan to dtd every day for 10 days has already gone wrong. Tore my bicep muscle at the gym yesterday and it’s just been horrifcly painful 😱 Luckily Dr gave me some great painkillers this morning so feeling very floaty like right now 🙌 So no action last night but will try and get it done today x

mayago sorry AF turned up FX you have get a new year baby in next cycle!

Geegeegirl AF due 20th and I have already said to myself I am allowed to start testing from Saturday (14th) with FRERs. Given up this month trying to curb my POAS addiction

CatRen yes on the gradual coming to terms with it, but hopefully it's not a BFN for you this month!

Pink it's still too early to tell! Though it is a good coping strategy to be a little wary

Soda I don't think I could temp reliably now, as DD interrupts my sleep cycle too frequently. She was up for the day at 4am yesterday, and 5:30 this morning I did enjoy analysing the data last time around though! Fingers crossed the more peaceful approach works. Do you find the acupuncture relaxing? I keep meaning to try reflexology again, but there's never the time!

Geegee I've never had OV bleeding, but occasionally from more DTD than usual!

AF arrived this morning, so definitely out here!

@catren27 yeh I think it might be that. I'm just so confused by all the mid-cycle bleeding I've been having since I had the mirena removed. Now every time I get any unusual bleeding I start panicking.

Who is testing next? Baby dust to everyone x

Thanks @twittlebee! If I don’t get prefers this month I’ll downlod it x

@Mumma100 it is Fertility Friend - it feels a bit clunky at first but you get used to it. It is free unless you want to upgrade to VIP which has some good added features but I think you get those all unlocked for your first 30 days with the app anyway. Also you can just pester us on here for extra information (that the VIP would give you) to save you a bit of money

@sodababy2 @twittlebee thanks what’s your app called? I only use ovia, I don’t pay to know how attention to temperature but still find myself doing it every morning 😂

Geegeegirl If I DTD too much I get a bit of bleeding, can just be where you knock a blood vessel a bit too much?

Those BFN are so disappointing sorry @Bambamber.

I know the feeling of AF turning up early unexpectedly @largepinotplease I am really hoping to get a 'normal' cycle this month.

Don't be too disheartened @Pinklily1 PG and AF symptoms can be really similar.

App is saying that I am due to ovulate on Thursday. Have been BD'ing every day since Saturday. Started getting some spotting yesterday and again this morning. Not sure what is going on but I was wondering if it could be ovulation bleeding. Has anyone on here experienced that before?

@sodababy2 I am also trying to have a more relaxed cycle. Did you use OPKs this month? Have never temped before but if this is not my month then I have decided to go all out next month with BBT and OPKs.

Sorry about AF / BFN @Bambamber @largepinotplease @mayago It really sucks.

@Mumma100 I'd get a proper BBT thermometer as the temp changes can be really quite small. My temps are generally quite rocky as can be hard to take it at the same time with DD sleep.

I actually feel a lot less obsessive this month as I'm taking a month off temping and it's nice.

I'm 10dpo today and normally I'd be itching to test by now. Got acupuncture tomorrow so I'll see if I get any sighs from that! Otherwise I'm planning on waiting til AF arrives this weekend. Will try to only test if late.

CatRen27 first time they have been that stable but also first cycle I have been temping same time every day after a decent night's sleep!

FX Pinklily1 that it is just the rise in progesterone

Sorry for all the typos, clearly not fully awake yet!!

Morning ladies!

Sorry about the bfn bambamber.Hhow many days dpo are you? And what a strange question from the dentist! Was he about to do X-rays or something? I had bleeding gums last time I was pregnant and apparently that’s quite common, but I. Can’t think how he would tell from your teeth?!

I think I’m going to be out this month. Only a few days dpo and feeling bloated and crampy, which is typical for me pre AF Fertility Friend tells me to test on 26th, and Ovia on 25th, it I’m hoping to just wait and see if AF comes.

Bambamber why did your dentist bloody ask you that, way to get your hopes up. Have you tested early though? Any sign of AF? Fx for you still

Mumma100 for me, I'm around 36.6 during follicular phase, then I have an ovulation dip down to 35.5, day after O then rises by 0.2 degrees. I have attached this cycles chart (as actually it's super clear this month, not usually though, before was really rocky)

Sorry to hear about the BFN @bambamber. Hope you’re OK x

BFN this morning, what a surprise
I know logically it's probably a good thing as my health isn't great at the moment, but it's still a bit shit.

Went to the dentist this afternoon and while looking in my mouth asked if I was pregnant. So of course I was straight on good old Google to see if a dentist can tell you're pregnant while testing negative officially lost it

Ladies this is the first month I’ve really charted my temps, I don’t have a basal monitor just a normal one with the one number after the decimal. How much of a rise do you notice around ovulation?

Thank you Twittle, it's nice to be able to talk on here as it's not really something I'd discuss in real life (not in this much graphic detail anyway 🙈) my app is just called Ovulation Calculator and I've input my last 5 cycles but you never really know I suppose.

Definitely going to start trying again in a few weeks time and thank you I will most definitely enjoy some prosecco and celebrating with DH 🥂

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 to you all

largepinotplease urgh no!! I am so sorry Really was thinking it was gonna be implantation for you. What app have you been using? Could you chart your BBT? Maybe start your OPKs 4 days earlier next cycle? Make sure you have lots of lovely glasses of prosecco at your DH's birthday celebrations in a couple of week

Definitely out, AF came with a vengeance this afternoon- bright red blood so no mistaking it 😞 it's 4 days early and I didn't get a positive opk reading when I was due to ovulate so I think my system isn't where is says it is on my app....we just went for it around the time.

I think from when I finish this period we are just going to have to do it every other day during the month. With DS I fell working 3 months and wasn't tracing anything (honeymoon stage!) I think I'll move away from the app and see how we get on au natural 😬

Good luck everyone 🤞🏻

Twittlebee it's so sore today, its strange not cramping or anything just very tender.. thinking that's what it is I dont usually feel like each side releases an egg so that's what I'm putting it down to (for now anyway) if it gets worse I think a trip to the GP is in order.. fingers crossed, hopefully it just means we get an extra chance this month!xx

mayago hopefully isn't in your head though! But I made this mistake last cycle (and every cycle before that) with looking at all the symptoms haha. Why do we do this!?

SJB90 yeah you very well could have ovulated twice, it is how you get paternal twins. I am convinced has happened to me this cycle as, like you, I have had my ov pain twice (they slowly build for a few hours before a final stab and then just have dull ache for rest of the day). Could be a double whammy of hormones making it worse for you? Baby dust to you too lovely
