April Bus

@karenkeys I'd also added in evening primrose oil and royal jelly until approximately ovulation. Obviously didn't help lol. I'll probs do the same again this cycle though, just to feel like I'm doing something!

@Lilyduke I’ve been TTC since January. I’m sure you having a drink didn’t make the difference - I didn’t touch a drip of alcohol for the entire month and it didn’t happen so it seems to make little difference. I’ve also done the same and cut caffeine right down, along with eating healthily, taking the folic acid and vitamin D, light exercise every day. You would think that all the effort would increase the changes.

I’ll be having a couple of glasses of wine tonight now that AF is here!

@Missgoldilocks I wish sore boobs weren't such pre AF symptom for me. As soon they stopped hurting a few days ago I just knew it wasn't happening this month, it's so disheartening.

@Lilyduke unfortunately it's one of those things. I'm baffled every time because every time we have dtd every day around ovulation for the past how many cycles lol but still nothing. My doctor said if I knew the goings on of getting pregnant she said I would be surprised that people even get pregnant. It made me feel better

@karenkeys how long have you been trying? I went out last weekend and I'm now paranoid that it could've hampered our efforts. It would've been difficult for me to not drink though 😔 I had cut right back on caffeine all month and been eating healthier too. I'll try to get back on exercising this month.

Another PCOS-er here! :-(

I'm kinda still on the March bus but if I ovulate same day as last cycle (CD35) that's not til 22nd March so I wouldn't be testing til early April anyway - although still hoping my cycles will get shorter.

Like @OrangeJ I'm also taking Inositol (plus Folic Acid and other stuff) and this will be 2nd full cycle taking it.

Every second day, I should say!

@Lilyduke yeah same, my husband and I were DTD every 2 days from my last AF finishing for a week and a half and I was pretty confident that was enough. Not sure whether to try more often this time. My cycle does vary from 24-28 days but it could be worse.

@karenkeys thanks, I'm sure we will be back to normal in a few days. I'm trying to think of the positives. My cycle seems to be fairly regular now at 28 days. I had ditched the OPKs last month and just stuck to DTD every other day over my fertile week so I'm not too sure what to try this month.

@Lilyduke I’m feeling quite sad too, but we need to try and keep positive. Not long until we’re back in our fertile window! Chin up 💕

I've not joined a bus yet but feeling particularly sad with AF arriving this morning despite thinking this could've been the month 😩 so could do with some support!
TTC #1. Both myself and DH are 29. Had my implant removed October last year but no luck yet.

@Posharmchairs hi!! Hi all, can I join please? Been off copper coil since April last year, actively tracking though since September. Just going through getting tests done now to make sure everything is okay. I have a son who's 8 but with a different partner. Anyway, I'm due af tomorrow or Sunday and I'm 100 percwnt sure it's coming, I've got the same af pains I get every month up to 2 days prior lol.

All my threads have gone quite quiet so I'd really appreciate joining you guys! 😘

Hi! I'd love to join. I'm CD3 and TTC#1. This is my 9th cycle trying. I've PCOS but I've short cycles. Been going to acupuncture for the last month.

Christmas baby would be amazing...trying not to get my hopes up too much but I think it's impossible to be hopeful and grounded at the same time?!

Jumping on the April bus!

CD2
Cycle 3
TTC #2

Not sure of our chances this month, hoping to continue as normal but we are on holiday with PIL in a villa over my likely fertile week!! So doing OPKs and such may prove a little difficult. Will be there CD8-15 so we will have to be stealthy about any DTD!!

Hey guys! Joining this one as af will defo be here tomorrow. Have aaaallll the classic pms symptoms 😂

This will be no4 for me and cycle four of not actively trying but actively obsessing haha

Fingers crossed for you all!

Hi

Yes, hoping for late December!my son is 6 so it's quite a gap but haven't felt ready before now.

Fingerd crossed we all get good luck

Hi ladies, just woke with AF this morning so joining the April bus 👋🏻

TTC baby 1 and this will be cycle 3. Feeling a bit hopeless today wondering what I’ve done wrong which I know is wrong because it’s just luck most of the time!

Should be testing again at the very beginning of April.

@posharmchairs lol! I have PCOS and they are just so unpredictable! My last four cycles have been 67, 87, 104 and 32 days 🤦‍♀️ I started taking inositol a few weeks ago and folic acid since Jan so hoping they will help with regulating them. Gosh, a whole year! Do you have PCOS too?

Aaaw that would be lovely. We’d love to give our parents a little grandchild for Christmas.

Have you heard of the Shettles method? Although I’m not sure how much it really works 🤔

Hi @PumpkinPie2016 👋 good luck!

Glad there is an April bus! We are just starting to try for number 2 but I know I am out for March as didn't decide until part way through.

Period is due on the 12th and then we'll start.

I am trying not to get obsessed I have started taking folic acid though. I got pregnant quite quickly with DS but who knows what will happen this time.

Good luck everyone!

Haha! Yes @posharmchairs! Where would the fun be if we knew everything 😂

Ask away! Nope, I’ve never had two birthdays and never felt like I wanted to. I also used to know a girl born on Christmas Day even she didn’t have two birthdays! In all my life I’ve never felt like I was missing out or had to share my birthday. I’ve actually always felt like I was kind of special because of it. When I was younger I used to get presents Xmas eve, Xmas day then Boxing Day when I saw my grandparents. It was the best!! People always ask me “do you just get one set of presents?” Nobody has ever given me a joint Xmas/birthday present!

Sorry for waffling I just love my birthday! Also when you’re older people are always in a happy/festive mood and up for a party! 😜🥂
