Thought I'd start the April bus off since this is my first cycle since OD and April is my birth month so I'm praying for the best birthday present ever, our little miracle! 🙏🎁👶

@ELJ1502 I’m the same! I use the CB ovulation test and I ovulate earlier than my Flo app!

Danimarie · 08/04/2019 20:32

I’m currently in my fertile week so it’s all systems go! Feeling positive but know that will finish once I start symptom spotting. The TWW is excruciating - how do you normally deal with it? I literally count down the days and then AF arrives....
I refrained from testing last month as I just couldn’t deal with the disappointment and I feel better for holding out (plus my bank account thanked me too!) x

Hello,

AF/BFP due 14th April

This is the first month I've used a CB Ovulation tester and found I ovulated much later in my cycle than the Flo app predicted. I'm really hopeful this month and currently symptom spotting like mad.

AlwaysOptimistic2 · 08/04/2019 19:55

@Queenofmyownheart I've promised not to tear this month after such disappointment the last couple of months but I know I'll cave in. I haven't got any left in the house so will probably end up picking some up on my way home from work tomorrow. Or order some cheapies online. I've spent about £150 in ovulation tests and pregnancy tests the last five months!

@MrsVict fingers crossed it's your month

Queenofmyownheart · 08/04/2019 19:15

Tested early with a cheapie test BFN of course at 12dpo. Driving myself insane. Don't feel like af is imminent tho like normal. I'll try again tomorrow with fmu (probably end up forking out over the odds for clearblue or something similar 😂)

MrsVict · 08/04/2019 19:01

@alwaysoptimistic2 - not good, it's day 1 of the two week wait and I'm questioning every twinge AND couldn't resist buying an adorable onesie today!! It's going to be a looooong TWW Hmm

AlwaysOptimistic2 · 08/04/2019 18:46

How's everyone feeling today?

I've just scoffed two hot cross buns to stop me googling 'how early do you experience implantation cramps'. Might have to eat the other two in the pack!!

Good luck ladies.

I'm already symptom spotting this time round and I know it is WAY too early. Today I had a dodgy tummy and had to rush to loo. Pretty sure it must have been a dodgy salad I had for lunch but each time I've been pregnant before I've had diarrhea in the TWW so naturally I'm now hoping this is a symptom. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Hi ladies, can I join the April bus??

I'm feeling really strong cramps on the left side today - surely too early for implantation pains? I can't remember feeling any cramps last time round, although that month I'd given up all hope so was trying not to pay attention to anything I felt!

mommato3 · 08/04/2019 13:33

I'll join. God knows why as I reckon I'll be out this month.

TTC#4 1st for me and new partner
AF due between 14th and 16th. 3 apps, 3 days but +OPK Sunday 31st March

We did get bfp on 20th December but had a mc on 12th Feb 😢
Period arrived on 12th March. Dtd 2 days before +OPK hence thinking I'll be out.

Good luck everyone xx

Dlah · 08/04/2019 12:42

@Rubberyduck I did question for a second a January baby, I know my friend hates it, everyone's always skint and doesn't want to celebrate her birthday Grin but then I realised I'll take what I can get if it means we get a new baby! Lol and yes, I agree about the first few snuggly winter months inside, my DD was born on Halloween and I loved the dark nights, curtains closed, fire on just snuggled!

Eek! Not due to ovulate until Thursday per my Flo app but sat here at work with twinges I seem to associate, so wondering if early? I've never actually used the OPK's, wondering if I should?

LemonyLimey · 08/04/2019 12:35

Can I join please? Currently feeling very frustrated with the varying lengths of my cycles since stopping Cerelle in October, officially started trying in the January cycle...

TTC: #1
Cycle: 3

AF due: Glow states 16th April but who knows

Not out of the December baby window yet (would have a due date around December 25th), would be happy with a December/January baby... thinking of the maternity leave and being off work for two Christmas'!

Sleepyhead11 · 08/04/2019 11:44

@Rubberyduck - I think January might be a lovely time to have a baby. You'd stay cooped in and warm for the first few months, then it would be spring and baby would begin to pay attention. I like to imagine long walks along the canal with a child this time next year as the world is waking up and the baby becoming aware, but don't want to daydream too much.

Saying that I am a midsummer baby, and always kind of suspected that I have the best birthday.

Good luck X

Feeling so so sick this morning due to AF. Its made me wonder how on earth I will get through the morning sickness again! I forgot how hard it was feeling so poorly and not being able to tell people. 🙈

Come on January babies. How do people feel about a January baby btw?

Af due 21/4

Donor insemination on Saturday morning. Tried in August, and it all went wrong had every symptom same as with dd but then it stopped on cd26 and period arrived late on cd 31/32. I'm hoping I got it right have had highs on test Saturday and today but no peak, though I struggle to get a peak ever.

I'm 11dpo. Tested today with a frer bfn 😢 trying to tell myself I'm not out yet. Never had conception problems before but this one seems to be tricky.

I should be entering my "fertile window" today. Testing on clearblue advance every morning, hoping to see a smiley face at some point as didn't catch it last cycle. Last month was first month properly ttc and my body played all sorts of tricks on me, had every symptom going and eventually af arrived cd37 after a lot of wasted money on BFNs! Hoping this month isn't the same! Good luck everyone x

ale2992 · 06/04/2019 11:07

Hi everyone, just came from the march bus. AF is late for me this month no idea why as I'm never late have tested and got three bfn.
Now on cd34 18dpo with no sign of af

MrsVict · 05/04/2019 06:41

Good luck everyone Smile

I had cramping yesterday like ovulation is due imminently but still no positive opk yesterday or this morning. I'll try again this afternoon. This is all very confusing and frustrating!! Hmm

This will be my first full cycle since early miscarriage at the end of February. Conceived first month trying last time so really hoping this month will be the same!!

Wrybread · 04/04/2019 17:04

I'm fine. I've already got two amazing dc, so dh and I are just stopping using contraception and letting nature take its course.

When I was trying for the dc I did temping which worked really well for working out ovulation. Not doing that this time though because we're just being relaxed about it all.

Danimarie · 04/04/2019 15:25

I normally test every morning but I suppose you can test in the afternoon/evening to be extra vigilant so you know exactly where you are in terms of your surge?

MrsVict · 04/04/2019 14:46

Thank you Danimarie

Looking for some advice...I have had 3 days of "High" results on clear blue OPK and negative on the cheap amazon OPK's. How often should I/would you be testing so that I don't miss my surge?
