April BFP thread

winkle2 · 03/03/2012 19:43

CD 1 today and my last cycle was 34 days which means I'm due to test 6th April.

Anyone fancy joining me?

Not been on for a while, just catching up! So sorry Zonat, really hope this is a blip. Take care of yourself.

I'm due to test on 10th but may not make it that long (impatient!) and might go for Easter Day- that way I can either celebrate a pregnancy or have a glass of wine- face up booze for Lent!

About 5 days DPO now and no symptoms except extreme grumpiness, which could also be PMT or just because I'm fed up I'm not pregnant!!

Really crossing my DH fingers that this thread fills up with BFPs and sticky beans soon!

How are things this morning zonat?

Welcome to the thread wunny Smile

Hai, last time I was pregnant internet cheapies were still showing +ve 2 weeks after I lost the pregnancy so IME they show up BFPs same as more expensive ones. Whether they show +ve as early as others might I don't know but if somebody is PG they'll still be PG a week later when the sensitivity of the test doesn't matter so much. I think if you're someone who likes to test early and frequently then it makes money sense to use IC and not £10 digis.

Still no symptoms for me, cramping started on 5DPO, got worse on 6DPO and was less by 7DPO and now nothing so was probably just wind Grin

Well, I'm out :(

AF got me... I think it was a long shot anyway so soon after a mc and not knowing my cycle etc.

I'm going for a new years day baby now! lol...

Good luck to all of you xxxxx

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake · 01/04/2012 10:27

:( Georgie. New years is fab though- a great way to start 2013 :)

curiousgeorgie · 01/04/2012 10:28

I'm going to see if theres a may bfp thread... I hope I don't see any of you there!!

xx

LittleMissSnowShine · 01/04/2012 10:40

Aww sorry georgie Sad

But I agree, it'll be a great way to start 2013!

Still no AF for me - it's annoying because my last few cycles have been bang on time and according to that pattern my AF is now 6 days late. But it's not been unusual in the past for me to have 5 weeks between AFs so it could still arrive tomorrow or in the next couple of days Angry

Really hope it doesn't though, but even if it doesn't show up in next few days I am NOT NOT NOT poas again until Friday next week, which will have been a week from my BFN and which will hopefully possibly maybe then come out as a BFP

Happy April everyone and good luck to those poas on April Fool's Day Grin

I have joined georgies may bfp thread. Will still be on this one though, but I don't know where I fall at the moment after the last 8 days. Hoping for an April bfp, but starting to think may bfp may be more realistic.

zonat92 · 01/04/2012 18:55

Thanks for all the kind messages, and support :) I'm doing well! still bleeding!
DS big 1st birthday tomorrow though, so im very exited and overwhelmed about that, its keeping me busy :)
according too due date calculator if i concieved this cycle i would be due the day after my birthday in december :o haha!

What a lovely gift that would be! wishing u all lots of luck. :)

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake · 01/04/2012 19:03

Zonat, I really feel for you. I hope your Ds has a fab birthday :)

Seems there's a few familiar faces on the may bfp thread :( I'm trying not to loose hope for April bfp but its difficult. I will still be testing on the 11th, just in case!

You ok winkle? Has AF showed up? If not, don't give up hope! I'm trying to keep positive.

I'm so glad I found this thread, you lovely ladies are keeping me sane! :)

Cookiesandcream06 · 01/04/2012 20:30

georgie I'll be with you too I'm sure! I just want it to hurry up so if can come and go and on to the next cycle! I've been gassy and uncomfortable and just want it to arrive tbh. Got all the symptoms

zonat hang on in there you're doing brill.

Has there been anymore POAS action?! I've made a decision to be strong and save the rest of mine so I can use them next month.

Winkly · 01/04/2012 20:54

cookies good luck staying strong!

AF is 3/4 days late here but I had another BFN this morning :-(

LittleMissSnowShine · 01/04/2012 21:12

Hope everyone's doing well this evening - so it's the start of April and hopefully for some of us the start of some BFPs showing up, and, unfortunately for others (prob inc me) the arrival of AF Sad

Still no sign of AF for me and cramping has kind of faded away so now i don't really know what to think. don't feel like AF is about to show up, but BFN is all that's showing up for me at the min. Really hope it's a different story next week but i'll have to go mad waiting patiently wait and see

winkly - hang on in there, maybe that BFN will become a BFP in a couple of days time?

cookies - wish i could save myself the money and stress and not poas any more this cycle (but i know i will!) hope AF doesn't show up and that you don't need the sticks for next month!

zonat - hope bleeding eases off soon and good luck with the big birthday!! hope it's a lovely day for you all

morecoffee - it's only 1st April, and we've got a lot more days left in April to see some BFPs so hopefully you'll be one of them!

hai - someone else to join the snoozathon with me! i haven't done much this weekend, a bit of painting, grocery shopping and taking DS to the park but i needed a nap at lunchtime today when DS was sleeping - preg or just shattered?? not sure!!

Winkly · 01/04/2012 21:43

Oh LittleMiss fingers crossed for both of us!

winkle2 · 01/04/2012 22:28

AF hasn't shown but I did a FRER on thurs and it was BFN so I'm not holding out hope! Plus I don't feel pregnant.

decided tonight I have let TTC put my life on hold for too long. So back to diet and gym tomorrow. Got about 10lbs to lose and need to tone up esp as summer is just round the corner! Can't keep using the 'but I'll be pregnant soon anyway' line!!

Hubby and I are also booking a week away and I'm going to sort out my cv and start job hunting - going to throw myself into things to keep me busy!

OP posts:
LittleMissSnowShine · 01/04/2012 22:51

winkle - IKWYM, i've been slowly shifting the last of my baby weight left over from DS and i was only a few lbs away to being on target but i've def let the whole 'i'll be pregnant soon' thing let me drift off target over the last month or so. i've still been going to zumba but i'm going to try and make a big effort this week to get back on track with the healthy eating - as you say, something else to think about apart from ttc Brew Also, i didn't feel preg the first time until i was about 5/6 weeks along so if AF hasn't shown yet then hang on in there!

Hai1988 · 02/04/2012 07:17

Just done one of my internet cheapo tests this morning as 4 days till af due, but no luck bfn :(

Just a quick question why does it ask for room temp urine?

Also it doesnt say how long the result takes to come just not to read it after 5mins?

Think im out, but hang in there ladies its not over until af arrives

MildredH · 02/04/2012 08:34

hai I think you just need "fresh" urine- ie not been in fridge or anything..

I've used a few of my Internet cheapies and they give a pretty strong result almost immediately ime. I think they're just saying if it's neg at 5 mins it's not a changing!

I'm 3 days late now but still getting bfn's Sad about to get out of bed and do another. Im vaguely hopeful but trying to keep it in check. Saturday ( due date) did fancy FR one which DH read off pack to be 99.odd% effective.

Trying some reverse psychology on myself also bought jumbo pack of tampax on sat! Wink

So daft. Good luck anyone testing today x

Winkly · 02/04/2012 08:43

Fx for you mildred

That makes 4 of us late with BFNs - maybe you'll get lucky :)

MildredH · 02/04/2012 09:08

Thanks winkly another bfn for me Sad what are the chances now..? I think last time I was pregnant I didn't test immediately.. It's cd 28, my average cycle is 25 days up to about 27.

Have been quite stressed and worked nights etc quite a lot- that may have thrown things?

Anyone else testing today? X

LittleMissSnowShine · 02/04/2012 09:46

Still no AF for me today!! And I couldn't sleep last night, strange dreams again. And I know I'm jinxing it completely by saying this but I really feel like I might be preg and AF is very definitely late now, but, on the other hand, tests have been saying noooooooooo

So feeling your pain Hai, Mildred and Winkly. But until AF arrives, we can keep hoping, right??
