TTC April baby ☀️🌼🌿🌧🐣 - part 2

@LorrenK @CDD1992 🤞🤞🤞🤞 this is all very exciting! I can never see a line on an early test if its too zoomed in its like it just disappears! When will you test next?

@CDD1992 honestly he's like a tap, he'd do it everyday if possible. Sorry it's not been too smooty for you guys, I do really believe once or twice is literally all it takes. I also love your plan 😂😂 mine would throw the biggest of strops if I tried that!

@anotherscroller this is exactly me...without the child. Enjoy your break!

I’m going to try and be offline until I start testing on Saturday. DH has come in and said he’s fed up of getting up early with DD so that I can spend an hour reading MN forums, can’t I just try and go back to sleep, and frankly he is right. I’m just so anxious about ttc after 8 months and I love your company. But I need a break.
crossing fingers for some BFPs soon.

@CDD1992 I can see it but it looks more grey than coloured which might mean indent rather than line.

@LorrenK fingers crossed it's real - I had a couple of indents last month on frer and was gutting because they really got my hopes up

@CDD1992 sorry to hear you guys have felt the pressure. The fact you need to do it at a certain time definitely takes some of the spark/fun out of it doesn't it? I like your plan though 😂

@Nypie every day until AF? Jeezzz he's keen. We have found the pressure of DTD at the right time quite a lot of pressure and some times it has led to frustrations and performance, ahhem, issues. Not his fault. He wants to be a dad and is putting pressure on himself. So I'm going to deprive him of DTD from AF to the fertile window and see if that makes a difference 😂

@EdinburghGirl1 @anotherscroller that's OK, I was fully prepared for the fact I'd go insane eventually 😂

@CDD1992 i can’t see anything either 🧐 It’s still early days. Rooting for you.

My temp is up again this morning, yay. But ovulation still not confirmed. I’ve realised I made a mistake by stopping the OPKs after I got my first negative after a positive. I should have carried on doing them until I had a sustained temperature rise. There was a previous thread where someone’s OPK went up again (stronger) giving them a later ovulation than they thought.

Also stopped DTD 3 days after the positive OPK. Should have just kept on going, but I had terrible bloating and didn’t feel like it. DH: “do you need filling up again?” Like I’m a car also a turn off! 😂

Biggest turn off is my obsessive bbt testing and app scouring as soon as we wake up though. Praying for a BFP so I can stop being manic at 6am.

@CDD1992 I'm sorry I can't see anything in that photo. Maybe try again tomorrow.

@LorrenK that's exciting. Fingers crossed for today.

@Babydust99 that's great they are working. Fingers crossed for OPK today.

@ViMa1820 sorry to hear that but it only takes once sometimes.

@Nypie men are funny sometimes aren't they!

I think I'm just being too hopeful 😔

Morning all 👋🏻 so, temp up again this morning and I POAS. I feel like I can see the vvvvvvvvvvvv faintest of lines. To the point I'm actually just imagining it 😂 think I'll hold off another day or two and test again. Wishing you lots of luck and baby dust today @LorrenK 🤍

@LorrenK good luck for tomorrow 😊 thanks, I'm worried I may have missed it as I didn't have time to test today but 🤞 for tomorrow

@Babydust99 its so faint the camera isn't picking it up, it could be an indent, I’ll test tomorrow and update!

that sounds positive! hope you get your peak!! 🤞

@LorrenK do you have a photo?

I've started taking seven sea trying for a baby and have really bad o pains and much better ewcm than normal so 🤞 they are helping. Hoping for a peak on clearblue opk in the morning

Ladies I had a really weak moment and caved, used my only FRER (really silly as I should have saved it) BUT there is the faintest of second lines 🫣

Hi me again! Hope ok to re join, kept trying to add in on previous thread and wondered why it wouldn't post lol.

I am in the last few days of ovulation and think I can already say we failed miserably lol! Kids have been unsettled most nights so no time for us. Managed to get one night of passion in but not ideal.

Fingers crossed for everyone else though!

@CDD1992 yeah he definitely doesnt have a clue he though we were having sex everyday till AF bless him he was quite disappointed 😂😂

@ThePodParent I think I’m due on Monday or Tuesday, but my cycles can range from 28-33 days long so my apps say different things which is annoying. Good luck for your next test!

@LorrenK AF is due this Saturday. When’s yours due? My cycles seem to have settled at 31 days now, but AF is always 14 days after ovulation for me. Textbook on that part! I just apparently take until CD18 to actually ovulate…

@thepodparent that sounds promising also!! 🤞🤞🤞 when is AF due?? I don’t think I’ll show a BFP 10dpo even if I am pregnant as my cycles are sometimes slightly longer, my last cycle was 33 days so if you go by FRER guidelines 6 days before would be 12DPO for me if my cycle is to be 33 days again this month… so you really never know! You are not out yet!!

@hipposinacircle annoying little thing isn’t it! CD 16 for me, never had a peak later than CD 17 so 🤞🏻 For tomorrow.

@LorrenK That sounds hopeful! Both of my previous first trimesters felt like that. Constantly grazed to avoid being sick.

I’ve felt like that a bit the past 2 evenings too (as also happened with my second pregnancy) and then weirdly this evening I felt that prickly feeling of your milk kind of coming in before a feed (for those who have breastfed before!) and I haven’t had that since I weaned DD 4 months ago. It was really odd.

But I did a test this morning (10dpo) and it was a bfn so, whilst I knoooow you’re not out until AF and my own DD was a ‘first bfp at 13dpo’, I now feel like I’m out anyway! TTC logic.

@Aurora81 we certainly do 🤍 I feel like we are going to have a great month and lots of baby dust and BFPs on this thread.

@Nypie haha the men are cute when they try to support in their own way but they definitely struggle with the timings of the cycle sometimes 😂

@CDD1992 definitly still hope!!

Even my dp keeps asking me when I'm testing he seems to think tomorrow would be reasonable...I'm only 4dpo 😂😂

CD29 and still no AF so I'm clinging on. I don't measure my basal temperature but I checked my ears earlier & was 37.6 & 37.7. I have no idea if that counts 😂
