No April Fools on the April BFP Bus, we got cookies

Well I am dusting down the drivers seat and kick starting the April bus for those the BFP fairy missed on the lucky Mad March bus. Fingers crossed the destination for this one is 'Baby Central'.

Also decided I'm officially in a diet... After our December wedding I indulged over Xmas, new year, honeymoon, Easter... The pounds have crept on and I feel like shit for it!
Mehhhh.

Penny31 · 14/04/2013 08:13

Everything crossed for you gilly!

I was feeling a bit down yesterday about my weight yesterday too. I feel huge. I'm not huge but I'm not skinny. Diet starts today!

Well I'm definitely hormonal, boobs still sore and I have cramps in my back. I get this with AF :( Poas this morning and thought there was the faintest of lines but its gone! Grrrrrrr

gillywillywoo · 14/04/2013 09:51

I'm 5ft 6 and a size 12-14 butane my Ive definitely been more of a 14 than a 12. I think over the last few greedy months I've probably put on about half a stone which isn't major but I CAN FEEL IT ALL OVER ME! Hahaha.
I'm good at diets and losing weight when I want to be but if my hearts not in it I just scoff on chocolate all day! My biggest weakness!

Diet starts today!!!!

Also.. Bbt rose slightly yesterday and again slightly today... This happened last month and the following day it shot right up... Soooo... Will see what my bbt is tomorrow... Starting to think I OV'd on Friday which would make sense... Although still perplexed by all the negative OPKs Blush

Thatssofunny · 14/04/2013 09:52

Right, smiley face grinned at me this morning (rather unexpectedly,...it was supposed to be here on Tuesday). Did it yesterday, will dtd again today. DP will be away for two days from tomorrow morning, so that's all the chances we'll get this time round. Then it'll be fx and 2ww. Hate waiting.

gillywillywoo · 14/04/2013 09:52

Penny your AF isn't due til nearer the end of the month though!?

Thatssofunny · 14/04/2013 10:01

gilly You are making me feel like a right fatso. Grin I'm 5'3 and a size 14.

Currently trying to lose a little bit of weight, but I've never been on a diet and I have no intention of starting now. I'm trying to go to the pool twice a week,...and I'd love to get back into tennis, but I need a "I don't have a clue what I'm doing"-course. If this ttc business takes any longer, I'll start going to rugby training again, which I haven't been to in ages (thought contact sport might not be the most appropriate option when ttc). I'm getting really jealous every time I see the kids play at school Blush ...to the point where I have to hold myself back from running onto the pitch and joining in. Grin

gillywillywoo · 14/04/2013 10:25

Haha sorry... !
My weight has always fluctuated.. Ha eating disorders as a teen which still rear their ugly head every now and then but I was really good for the whole of last year leading up to my wedding day and since then I've let go a bit Grin
Also coming off the pill at the same time didnt help because I'm pretty sure the pill I was on kept me a little slimmer!

Thinking healthy thoughts today and trying to force myself into being good!

Gilly I'm 5'7 and a size 12-14 but mostly 14 too :).

To be honest I don't know when AF is. For the past 12 months its always be on the 15th - 17th of each month EXCEPT last month when it didn't turn up until the 24th. This month I ovulated earlier than expected on the 4th April. No idea what is going on :(

gillywillywoo · 14/04/2013 12:35

I've no idea what's going on this month either!
Not sure if I've ovulated or not but AF is due around 24th so just gonna try and chill out now and see what happens.

Don't have very high hopes for a BFP this month.... Temp seems to be on the rise now so maybe I have ovulated but all the negative OPKs have confused me! Hmm

Who knew it would be this confusing! What will be will be I guess :)

Pixie001 · 14/04/2013 14:33

right, after all this diet talk i am off to the gym as you put me to shame with your stats! mine are much worse than yours having gone steadily downhill since wedding day last yr, really not gonna help the ttc so need to get a grip!

good luck to the May passengers, happy travels on the new bus

Pixie001 · 14/04/2013 14:38

oh, and quick question....was feeling bit giddy and nauseous the last couple days, just after ov i think. has anyone else had that?

with amount of pain i get during ov i think i'll go get checked out if no bfp after this 2ww..i'd then be on cycle 9, which would be pretty depressing

Penny31 · 14/04/2013 14:46

Pixie I think I get nauseous after ovulation, I hadn't noticed before but I have since TTC, of course the first time I noticed I thought it was pg related :) but alas it wasn't to be

ELA88 · 14/04/2013 15:36

Cd39 and the witch has finally got me! I really thought I had got away with it! Mehh!
Not even sure when I'm ovulating now or when next AF will be due :-(

pumpkinsweetie · 14/04/2013 15:49

My stats are shocking compared to you ladies, best get of my bum a bit more. I'm a size 16-18 at best and the worst part is I'm only a shorty Blush

Sorry to hear the wicked witch got you Ela, wishing you all the best for May x

Sorelip · 14/04/2013 16:17

Off topic but Am I the only one putting off an enormous pile of ironing and making dinner? If/when I get a BFP will I be exempt from such chores?
