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'.

Thank you Smile x

I'm already trying to adopt that same frame of mind actually...
Assume this month was a weird one... Look forward to this cycle being over and done with....and focus on next cycle (whilst secretly hoping I will be surprised and get a BFP!)

All kinds of worries popping into my head like whether I'm not ovulating at all... Maybe I have other problems... Maybe even DH has problems too... TTC is exciting but also a bit stressful for me... Blush

Just going to have to relax I think... Somehow...!

Congrats sorelip and lisba! Fantastic news! We're averaging one bfp every other day which is a great pace!

Can't believe it's monday already! I followed up my gym session yest with booking myself into zumba tonight for 1st time!

Penny31 · 15/04/2013 10:27

[hugs gilly] chin up and try not to stress. You sound like me, I worry about everything and always thinking something is wrong.

You know when someone gets a line on pg sticks and everyone says a line is a line? Surely this is the case with opk's? Lets assume so and think positive thoughts.

I reckon that some months ov is obvious and others its not. I had different ov symptoms last month to the ones I had this month. Same goes with AF symptoms, differ month to month occasionally.

Penny31 · 15/04/2013 10:31

Congratulations Lisa!

WanabeMum · 15/04/2013 19:04

Aw gilly try not to worry too much, it took me 10 months to conceive dd and I obsessed over the whole process which caused me a lot of stress! It seemed that when I decided to relax I got my BFP.

Sore boobs for me today, no period symptoms, very confused Confused

marie456 · 15/04/2013 19:28

Congrats new bfp's! How exciting! April bus doing smashing so far!
Us women have a lot to put up with this blimin fertility thing! Try and relax gilly. I'm sure all is well and perhaps you missed the timing for the +ve opk.
Cd 14 for me. I usually ovulate around day 16/17 which is fine but today had bit of blood when I went to the loo! eeks! What's that all about?!

Thatssofunny · 15/04/2013 19:51

Congratulations to those BFPs. Flowers

Managed Saturday,...but Sunday didn't quite work out. Poor DP. Blush He really tried, but we gave up eventually. He's away for a few days now. Oh well,...alright then. I had hoped smiley face would wait until later this week, but I appear to have ovulated yesterday or today instead. Chances not terribly high, so I'll wait for AF now to try again next month. Sad I'll try and get used to the idea that perhaps a baby for my birthday wouldn't be a bad thing either.

gilly Quite possibly everything is fine with you. Bodies just seem to throw all sorts of random behaviours at you when you ttc. I know mine does. Confused

gillywillywoo · 15/04/2013 22:11

Aaarrgggghhhh broadchurch!!!!!!!! Blush

TobyLerone · 15/04/2013 22:25

I'm not watching it til tomorrow. Will have to steer clear of the whole Internet!

Penny31 · 16/04/2013 07:35

I had to have a wee at 3am and had another at 7am. Decided to poas because my boobs are still sore. 5 mins later, If I hold it to the light and squint there is a line thats shadow like. I could be imagining it couldn't I? I'm driving myself crazy! I'm 11 dpo

gillywillywoo · 16/04/2013 07:40

Oooohhhh penny!!!!! Maybe!!! Good luck to yooooooou Smilex

I'm now on cd23 and still no bbt rise or positive OPK Hmm

gillywillywoo · 16/04/2013 08:03

Hmmm JUST did an OPK and the line is probably thicker and slightly darker than its been all month... Still not a big fat dark positive like last month but I dunno....I'm going to take a test to work and do it again this afternoon and see if it gets any darker...
Me and DH are going out for some drinkies tonight and both off work tomorrow so that would be convenient if I'm about to ov! Lots of dtd Grin

Bbt is still low low low so ov hasn't happened yet for sure.

Wondering whether I'm just having a really long cycle this month.

MrsAVB · 16/04/2013 08:15

FX penny, and try not to drive yourself too crazy! That goes for you too gilly... #said with love xxx

TobyLerone · 16/04/2013 08:36

Just dtd lots anyway, gilly -- it's a win-win! :o

FX, penny.

Wardy17 · 16/04/2013 09:05

Hey everyone, hope your all ok!! Congrats to everyone who has had a BFP!!

penny sounds promising!!! gilly I hope you get your positive OPK!!!

I haven't been dtd as much as I should have but thought I still had a bit of time normally get positive OPK around Cd19/20. This month CD16 and got my positive today, dtd the Sunday and last Thursday but that's it. Angry at myself now prob missed my chance this cycle!!!

gillywillywoo · 16/04/2013 09:15

What's a bit weird this month is that 5 days after my period had ended I had a light bleed which lasted a day... Now I THINK I'm ovulating around 5-6 days later than usual.
I'm no doctor but I'm thinking maybe that bleed interrupted my cycle and has caused a delay in ov?
This happened to anyone else?!
Gonna do another OPK this afternoon and crack on with lots more dtd haha x

gillywillywoo · 16/04/2013 09:22

Wardy you never know!! Good luck and fingers crossed Smile x x

Mythreeknights · 16/04/2013 09:29

Congrats to penny and good luck honey to gilly please let us know what's going on with your long cycles! Well, that's me off the April bus, AF got me last night. But, feeling v positive about going for it properly this time and DH also has a glint in his eye Grin.
XXXXX

Sorelip · 16/04/2013 09:33

Penny one of the tests I did on Sunday was like that, and the other was clearer. I tested again yesterday and the line is darker now. Have you retested?

Penny31 · 16/04/2013 09:36

Do you all really think that a faint shadow could be good news?? Eeeeek. Trying not to get excited because it could be mind and body playing tricks. Will eagerly continue with poas. I feel sick, but its anxiety not pg related :)

Gilly it does sound like you might ov late. Keep on DTD! I have everything crossed for you. Great timing with the time off work too, have fun!

Mythreeknights, I'm sorry AF got you, good luck for next cycle.

Wardy, is your DH away? Is that why you think you missed? You never know, you might have some super strong sperm in there still hanging around :)

Thanks everyone else for the FX. Xx

gillywillywoo · 16/04/2013 09:44

Mythreeknights I'm sorry AF got you hop on the may bus and lots of luck to you! Thanks

I'm baffled by my cycle this month and will be totally shocked if I got a BFP... To be honest I'm pretty sure I'll be on the may bus too but who knows!

Penny I'm excited for you!!!!! Test again test again! SmileGrin xx

The line was so ridiculously faint though. I will test again in the morning :) I have 7 Internet cheapie tests left Grin

Wardy17 · 16/04/2013 10:15

Sounds good penny FX for you!!!
No DH isn't away going to dtd tonight but was reading that's important to dtd day before positive OPK and we didn't. Am I worrying about nothing?
