Hoping For a BFP in April

Hi all, joining from March too. Tentatively though, will me a last min decision to try this month or not. Seems daft, but have a holiday around when a potential due date would be and know I'd be C section this time around.

My body played such horrible tricks on me the last cycle and currently in agony with CD3.

[quote sherbetmelon]@Purple29 that's really interesting! I'd definitely be up for giving it a go.
My cycles suck, I ovulate around day 25 of a (usual) 31 day cycle. My cycle this month was 37 days :( so it's sooo hard to know. I got an almost peak on an OPK on day 14 then a proper build up and peak for day 25 in my last cycle.[/quote]
My cycles were pretty much clockwork. If your cycle is 31 days then the days for you would be 10, 14, 16 and 18.

For a 37 day it would be 16, 20, 22 and 24. If that helps?

Hi everyone can I join😀 on CD5 this month, banning myself from using any opks, just going to keep dtd regularly 💖
So sorry for your losses @lifeafterloss22 ☹️hoping this is your month💖 I'm ttc #1 after a MC at 8 weeks in December

@FreckledMouse yeah if peak at day 16 means you ov on day 17 then those days would be right by that method. Its not a guarantee but I found that it helped me relax a bit and we weren't over tired from dtd every other day. It kept it a bit more fun and enjoyable.

@Lifeafterloss22 so sorry to hear of your losses :'( sending baby dust your way, I really hope this is your month x

Please can I join in this thread ☺️✨

Me and my partner started ttc for our first baby in August 2021, fell pregnant quickly in September. First early scan at 8 weeks we discovered a missed miscarriage. What happened next was complicated, and a very difficult experience (physically and mentally).

We spent time healing and stopped trying until January of this year. Booked a relaxing holiday, DTD on ovulation days and came back with a positive pregnancy test. 4 days later I started to bleed and the test was negative. A chemical pregnancy.

We both decided to try again in February, as we knew at this point we wouldn’t get any help from the GP until we’d experienced 3 reoccurring losses. No pregnancy in February and my period arrived as normal on the 1st of March.

My cycles are pretty regular 28/29 day with ovulation around 14/15. I have gotten myself a bit obsessed by it all, and I wish that it didn’t have to be this way. But we are both desperate for our first baby and know that timing is important.

I have found so much comfort in these posts and knowing how many women have been through similar experiences. It can feel a very lonely time.

So, I’m CD9 and we will be DTD pretty much every day up until the 20th.

Good luck to everyone and I hope you all get a BFP very soon ✨✨✨

@Purple29 that's really interesting! I'd definitely be up for giving it a go.

@FreckledMouse it's the method my fertility Dr told me to use. We had been trying for 2 years with no luck for my DS. The dr told me to stop peeing on sticks and that because my cycle was a regular 28 days, that ov was likely on CD14.

So he said for a 28 day cycle to dtd on days 7 (more to empty dh of any old swimmers) then nothing (especially dh) until CD 11 (give enough time for mature swimmers to build and to leave some lying in wait) Then again on days 13 and 15 (day before to leave more lying and day after just incase I ov late)

I was pregnant 2 months of this way. When we started trying again (now 27 day cycle, hence days 6, 10, 12 and 14) again after 2 months (ectopic this time) its worked for friends of mine too.

So he said you don't want to dtd every day as you want the swimmers to mature slightly (think they are stronger and live longer?!)

You just have to adjust the days according to your cycle really?

Hello please can I join? 😃

OH has agreed to start trying for baby no.1 in April 😃

FW is expected last week of March/1st week of April so hoping for BFP around 17th.

Baby dust to everyone 🥰

@sherbetmelon to be honest he has had worse colds.... there's nothing wrong with him!! Other than the positive test. We have had to cancel the plans just now as its hard to get time where everyone is off!!

Hi everyone 🥰

Hi all,
I’m coming over from the March thread🌈

I was 10 dpo , but I caved in and did a frer this morning, saw a vv faint line, got abit excited, 2 hours later, started getting cramps and now AF has reared her ugly head. Still got cramps now and light bleeding, so 100% certain it’s af.

I did the other frer earlier, the same thing happened, they are indent lines in hindsight. It was silly of me to test this early, I know.

Hopping in this thread. AF was 11 days late last month, but I finally got it late last week. I'm closing on a house in a couple days and will be moving and painting (and SO MANY other projects), so I'm not sure how much time/energy I'll have to put toward getting a BFP this month.

Good luck everyone!

I'd like to join too please, I've not had AF but don't know my cycles yet - always been irregular and only had coil out in Jan - had one AF 19/02 so was hoping my cycles would regulate after so many years off! Started testing with the Clearblue ov test and am now on day 9 of flashing smiles, so I'm assuming I missed it or it didn't happen! DH & I only managed to BD once in the past 10 days too due to being hectic. Anyone else very torn between both loving and hating the idea of a Christmas baby?! And anyone else had the continual flashing with no static?

@RSmamaa sorry you're feeling down :( it really is a rollercoaster of emotions isn't it? X

@Purple29 so sorry to hear your ds has Covid :( can you postpone seeing family?

@Catred4 yeah when you think you'll be testing! I just put mine down when AF is due.. we all know I won't be able to wait til then 🙈 x

Hi all I'm joining you. Really thought I was pregnant and then AF arrived last night 😭 so currently on CD1, cycle 3 and TTC #2. My worry about an april BFP is giving birth around Christmas 😂.

Feeling quite deflated if I'm honest. I know it takes people a long time to conceive and what I'm experiencing is completely normal, however my first 2 pregnancies I conceived on cycle 1 both times so now I'm on cycle 3 and obviously thinking something is wrong
