Come one, come all: hop onboard the penis dragon bus and hold on tight for your BFP in April! PART 2!!

[Owlie84]

Here we go, all aboard!!

sorry to every one with bad news today some days are just to much.

Today I am on cd16, I believe the major stomach pain I had yesterday and the back pain I have today maybe due to ovulation but im not sure.

Hope everyones day starts looking up!!

Helli all. Hope everyone is well and gearing up for some bfps! I've been rather quiet as nothing to report as i progress through the endless tww. Am now on the final stretch though - bfp due 11th. So i guess i could test on tuesday but i won't

I feel that i spent the first 3 cycles in a constant state of expectation. Then when it didn't happen IMMEDIATELY i kind of resigned myself to a few months of failure. Now i am a bit further along the journey and hopefully targetting ov and dtd morw, i'm in the state of expectation again.

I've been trying for what must be two weeks to book a gp appointment with no sucess. Grr.

Hi all, sorry I have been absent for a while, had a job interview this week so was fairly busy! Will try and catch up on everyone's news later.

As for me, I got my smiley on the CB opk today. Dtd last night and will do again tonight, then DH is out tomorrow night but hopefully that'll be enough. I'm glad my hormones seem to have sorted themselves out after the mc, and this should make my BFP due on 18 April.

Sorry to hear about the af's and so sorry about Christmas' bad news :-( I hope there is a doctor out there who knows how to treat you x x

Im feeling better today, I think I needed a good cry. Picked myself up now and ready to plough on forward. Need to start dtd tomorrow, trying my first round of opks and smep. Don't know why its taken so long to decide to do it this way. I guess I didn't want it to be too clinical but maybe it needs to be!

Just realised my BFP is due on the 17th from what my phone app is telling few days earlier than I thought.

Only a couple of days left of my fertile week and then the long wait

I havent tried opks etc yet Victoria I was the same as you I didnt want to make it to clinical, trying for a baby is supposed to be fun.

Victoria, I didn't use any ov prediction last time either and it took 2 years so now in my 4th month I'm trying the cb ov digi kits. I got my first flashy smily today. It's actually comforting to know something's happening. Of course it can't predict a bfp but I feel happier being a bit more informed. Fx for you.

Would a clearblue digi opk turn positive if you were pregnant?

Oooo I don't know!

Just wondered as my friend said earlier if af doesn't arrive test with 1 of them, hmmmmmmm

I'm losing the plot. Somebody slap me. Had a shit day at work (today really is shit, isn't it?!) so came home and poas for something to cheer me up. I must be going crazy because I think I can see something but I can't capture it in a pic. So I'm obviously seeing things. 7DPO and very light spotting (it's not even pink really). I still have AF cramps though. When can I poas again? Do you have to wait 4 hours?

Very possibly Linda, LH and hcg are both proteins so an increased level of hcg could trigger an OPK.

Missmrs, wait until morning, with fmu. You'll likely only get another very faint line if you do it today. Hard I know, but you'll only be disappointed if it doesn't show. Fx though

Might just use 1 if no af by Sunday then

Oh no MissMrs how frustrating. I'd say wait about 4 hours without drinking or p'ing. Good luck

Thanks English and Linda. I don't feel too frustrated as I'm sure I'm making it up! Need a word with myself lol x

AF arrived today bang on cue so roll on cycle 11! One good thing about next month us that I get the chance of two BFPs in one month,woo hoo!

Good luck to all those left on here and fingers crossed for more BFPs.Be strong x

Hi Ladies, can I hop on too please?

My DS (nearly 5) has recently been telling me he's going to have a baby brother when he is 6, so might have a few months to wait for a BFP if he's right, and as my cycle has been unpredictable since a miscarriage in January, DS might be on to something. DP and I thought we'd give it a crack anyway and see what happens.

PickleMyster ttc #2 cycle 1 (post MC) BFP 18 April (EDD 26 December)

Ohhhh missmrs I cant wait for you to test again :)

Well, 9th flashing smiley today and had goven up hope and thennnnnn.... Tadaaaaaa...(tmi alert) Cervical mucus!!!

So now thinkimg i may be ov'ing late this month, better than not at all :) fingers crossed for peak tomorrow :)

Hello, hope you are all ok today, sorry to those who have AF x
Hi pickle and any others who haven't posted for a while or are new.

I have a question, and I know anything goes on here so here it is. I've not used OPKs so if I had a bit of what I think is ov pain on Monday and a lot of CM on Tuesday is it likely I peaked on Monday or Tuesday? Just trying to guess at our chances?

And I've been feeling dizzy in the afternoon of the last two days so obv I'm symptom spotting already and obsession has kicked in, despite DH telling me not to get hopes up too early etc etc!

(Think I'll fit right in with you lovely ladies)

Think my gp is trying to make amends for referring me to the hospital! Was there today and she's offered me day 21 blood tests to make sure I'm ovulating so if there's any problems I'll get dealt with sooner

That's good Linda, some progress. and some good news for a Friday!

What a lot of reading to catch up.

Sorry to all those who have afs.
Mines just about due but no pre af spotting yet.

poas but bfn. Was tempted to get a felt tip and draw a line to see how it looked. bonkers!

Well start of Easter holds for me today!(although will be in school every day next week for Easter Revision sessions )

Still have an AF like a bloody waterfall and sharp twinges both sides. My body must really be trying to clear itself out!

I was really sorry to hear about your appointment, Christmaas but I don't think I could cope with a feeling of hopelessness so I would continue TTC this month - don't see why you couldn't .

MrsMiss test again tomorrow but even if it is still super faint, you should still wait a few more days. You never know

GoodThings-I have always counted the day I have ovulation pains as ovulation day. Could be wrong though

I've got another week to go till easter hols. Seem to be later than everyone else.

Sorry to all those caught by AF hopefully more bfp on here soon!

I've also just broken up for the hols kitty! Must be lots of teachers on here! :-) I am looking forward to the break and hoping with it being hols whilst I ovulate we might be in with a chance to DTD lots!! Used my cb digital this morning and blank circle at the mo (only on CD9 though so expected it as started early so I don't miss it!)
