The long awaited April bus for those penis-dragon-worshipping, green pom pom waving, non symptom spotting ladies who will get their BFP this month!

I'm near the endish, 24th, but last 2 cycles have been longer, so might be nearer the end than I'd like.windering when to start using my cb ov sticks. First month with those and rather excited about the smily faces. Grin

xBlueberry88x · 02/04/2014 15:09

im using a phone app at the moment but i just tells me my most fertile week from what i enter in so this is my fertile week.

thought my sticks would have been here ages ago but they havent arrived so probably missed it now oh well

Owlie84 · 02/04/2014 15:17

Hi all! Just caught up :)

Gosh having read back on your labour stories, you all sound amazing, and so brave! :)

my BFP is due towards the end of the month, and it's my fertile week too - haven't got a pos on the OPKs yet though even though I said I wouldn't POAS!

Zermatt · 02/04/2014 15:40

If you had 4 days of positive opk's would you assume that you ov'd 12-36 hours after the first positive opk or the last positive opk?

EnglishGirlAbroad · 02/04/2014 15:44

Was just goin to ask the same Zermatt! Negative OPK today... So my surge is over. Just hope my ovaries have done their job!

kurama · 02/04/2014 15:46

well af is due for me on 13th. as ive had 8 days of flashing smileys now ive given up and decided I havnt ovd yet.

if I fell on next cycle I would find out around our anniversary /dhs bday. that would be a great present for him Grin Wink

hope everyone is good today. im having a lazy day with chocolate Blush

xBlueberry88x · 02/04/2014 15:49

lol its all so confusing....

I really do hate the people that get pregnant without really trying lol feeling sorry for myself

i would guess the first positive but its anyones guess.

Lol Owlie I wouldnt be able to stop myself either!!

Zermatt · 02/04/2014 15:51

Did you dtd throughout the positive opk days English? We've done it 7 times now and we're both getting a little weary :) we were once a week (or every couple of weeks). I just want to know when the fertile period is over so I can get back to reading my book in bed and not trying to act super sexy. :)

Guiltismymaster · 02/04/2014 15:55

BFP due 4th April. TTC #2

Testing tomorrow morning so will report back. V. nervous!

Have had some good symptoms so I can't help but get my hopes up. These include a small bleed 2 days in a row, cramps and now sore boobs all week.

If I'm not then it also means I've lost my mind or need to see a GP so doubly bad news.

Do visualising techniques like those you use in labour also work for getting upduffed? I'm visualising the dragon...

xBlueberry88x · 02/04/2014 15:56

we try to dtd every other day through out the month just to cover our bases.

We do have times when we are both just to tired but with working full time it just happens sometimes.

We've always dtd quite often so doesnt make a huge difference to us but you do feel pressured into it.

Im at work kurama obviously busy lol

Zermatt · 02/04/2014 15:57

Good luck guilt!!!!

chillychicken · 02/04/2014 15:59

Good luck Guilt!

xBlueberry88x · 02/04/2014 16:07

Good luck guilt finger crossed for you!!

Guiltismymaster · 02/04/2014 16:09

Thank you!

I'm so happy these boards exist.

Please note that Guilt Ltd. cannot be held responsible for anything I emotionally post tomorrow morning.

lindamagoo · 02/04/2014 16:26

Good luck Guilt, your symptoms do sound promising. When was your spotting? I'll keep my wee fingers crossed for you for tomorrow Smile

Guiltismymaster · 02/04/2014 16:45

Thanks linda Hope everything turns out well for you too, neighbour.

That's the thing, spotting was on 24th/25th I think which would be a bit early wouldn't it? Either way, didn't imagine that one.

Also, only one nipple is properly sore, like it's doing the work for both. What does this mean? (It is the left)

lindamagoo · 02/04/2014 16:56

Howdy neighbour, so the spotting was about 5dpo? That's a good sign Smile oh it's so exciting Smile My usual pre af spotting still hasn't started yet so I'm now getting my hopes up that I either ov'd later than I thought or I've had late implantation. We will see soon I guess...

EnglishGirlAbroad · 02/04/2014 17:14

Dtd 5 days on the trot so think I've covered it and will DTD again tonight!

Fingers crossed Guilty, sounds promising! That'll be 3 in 3 days!!

Treaclepie19 · 02/04/2014 17:37

Had to read back 3 pages!!!

Im getting tired of dtd too. 7th day of flashing smiley and cd 15.

Dtd cd6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 so far. Will tonight also.

PolytheneGirl · 02/04/2014 17:45

I was completely the other way. Only got one day of flashing smiley. I felt cheated!

KittyVonCatsington · 02/04/2014 18:14

Change of stats already!

KittyVonCatsington TTC#1 Cycle 5 BFP 29th April (EDD 6th January)

Huge flow today, to the point where I was unprepared with not enough tampons and towels and have had to throw away a perfectly good pair of undies Sad Definitely not implantation bleeding. Thanks for the support last night though, ladies, Mwwaaa!

Had a little cry over the Venison Steak for dinner last night (totally not related!) as it all seemed so unfair. Feel better now and will have super hot bath later to compensate.

It's odd because this is the biggest flow I have ever had but no pain whatsoever. Chemical pregnancy was light in comparison although hurt like hell. Ho hum. It's Easter Holidays coming up so won't have to partake in 5.30am DTD at least!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 02/04/2014 18:24

Ahhh sorry Kitty, think of it as a huge spring clean after the chem ready for a nice sticky bean at the end of the month. For now enjoy wine and choc!

KittyVonCatsington · 02/04/2014 18:34

One step ahead-glass of wine already in hand, English Grin. Putting all negative thoughts to one side. Couldn't cope otherwise.

KittyVonCatsington · 02/04/2014 18:41

Oh, chilly congratulations! So happy for you! PM me your old username and I'll give you triple congratulations Grin

MrsExtraOrdinary · 02/04/2014 19:12

Kitty I'm sorry that's just pants isn't it! Sad WineWineWine I was never very successful post mc although I know others have been.

It will be interesting to see what happens this month as god knows what happened with me last month with a few strange positives. Af was late and then very light for me. The previous 2 afs have been horrendous. I don't think I've only had a 4 day af for oh about 20 years! Blush but then I did kind of think I'll buy a new mooncup because I'm sure to get pg then. Maybe that's made it lighter. My 6 year old found the old one in the shower and next thing I knew it was an astronaut helmet for a Lego man! I was fairly mortified Blush
