The April 2015 bus is here ready to bring us a flurry of Springtime BFPs

[Cariad2014]

Here's hoping this month is THE one!

Hola!

Totally understand some of you staying. The mega bus can get crazy! I'm over there but will keep my eye on this bus too. Wanna see you all get your bfps!

Yep I'd rather stay too. Easier to keep track.

BFN at 10dpo this morning. Thinking I'm out AGAIN this month

Could just be too early creme. It's not over until it's over so fx for you

Creme 10dpo bfn alone is no sign at all, it's far too early to get a bfp!
Do you have any other symptoms that are making you think af is on her way? Xx

I'd like to stay here too, I will try my best to keep an eye on the mega bus but just know I won't keep up!! Hope everyone's having a nice weekend so far

Sammy, my boobs feel completely normal, as they have done the last 3/4 months I've been trying. When I was last pregnant (ended in MMC) my boobs were enormous and really painful from this point onwards.

Going to hairdressers this pm. Hairdresser rightly refuses to colour hair if you are pg. Not sure whether to get my usual cut and colour or not! I'll be so annoyed if I dont get it coloured and AF shows up in a few days! What to do!

Oh Creme, I hate this point where you just don't know.
Is the reason they won't colour your hair to do with the dye spa long in to your bloodstream and being transferred to the baby?
If so, I think your ok because I read somewhere that at this point the baby isn't taking anything from you anyway? Xx

That's what I was thinking (and also why I had 3 cocktails last night!)

I might just do it. I'm pretty certain this isn't my month anyway!

Any signs for you yet?

Oh creme, you too Hopefully it's just a few days too early for us but I know what you mean, I'm just not feeling it either. Re the bloodstream - I was told that first 6 weeks the baby doesn't take anything from the mother.

I've realised I dont have another test to try again tomorrow. Maybe will have to wait for FMU monday.

Afternoon lovely ladies. Waves at Spinning and Trixie and everyone else. I'm so glad some of you have decided to stick around here.

Spinning - Thanks for asking how I am. Apologies for having been so quiet over the past week or so, tbh I've found March quite difficult. The combination of my first EDD, Mother's Day and my birthday all in quick succession has been really tough - thank goodness April is just around the corner! Only 4 weeks to go until we pick up our very own hairy cockapoo baby!

3/4dpo at this end and although we timed dtd well, I'm fairly sure I ovulated from my right (tube-less) side, so I'm not feeling overly hopeful...

Trixie - hope all's well with you. I was really interested by your consultant's recommendations. I'm another one who always seems to have icy cold hands and feet. Judging by the photos on Wikipaedia my grandmother definitely had Raynaud's (sp?) and I wouldn't be surprised if I had that as well. I really hope the new diet brings you your long awaited BFP.

Waves at Lauras (assuming she is still around). I'm another one who remembers you from last Summer's buses.

Sorry for the BFNs but Creme, 10dpo really is far too early to be able to tell definitively. Hang on in there my lovely x x

I'm sorry to hear you've had a tough month Cariad. That is a really tough trio of events when you are TTC. The hairy baby addition sounds exciting though! Do you assume you ov'd from the tubeless side because you had pain that side?

No symptoms Creme. I'm crampy and have been since Wednesday... But I sometimes get that anyway. Boobs are a little tender, but get that pre af.... You can see where I'm going with this right?! Lol

We're going skiing next week so at least there will be a silver lining to af turning up this time! Xx

Coffee - yes, I had a dull cramping pain on my right side on Tuesday. They say that post ectopic, it's not unusual for people to experience ov pain even if they haven't historically, and in the past few months I've had twinges on my left but nothing definitive. This month felt a lot stronger, but was unmistakably on my right... We'll see...

Trixie - I forgot to respond to you about reflexology in my earlier post. I haven't booked anything yet as I thought I'd give acupuncture one more shot this cycle (not least because last cycle my AF was sufficiently pain free that I didn't need to take painkillers for the first time ever) but will definitely give reflexology a whirl if I don't get a BFP this cycle (which, let's face it, is highly likely).

I'm still here folks :) want to see you all get your BFPs!

Sammy if we are wrong it will be a nice surprise!

It COULD be ok- dtd earlier and totally don't feel like af is on its way. I've also had a banging headache all day and a random itchy boob. It did only itch for about 30 seconds though so probably just a bug in my bra

*didn't. Awful grammar!

Sending you hugs cariad roll on April and getting your new fluffy addition it's lovely to have a pet to keep you busy, I have two lovely cats and one is a bit obsessed with me, she's almost like having a baby she's so needy!!

Fingers crossed for lots of BFPs I have my fx for you all.

Rant alert.......I wish I knew if I have ov this month or not, where I ran out of OPK sticks I didn't bother buying more, in my head I was totally like "I don't care, what will be will be", but now I feel angry because I have no clue when to expect AF and from symptoms I'm convinced I only OV a couple of days ago which will throw the date of my Exp bfp, but I don't know and it's annoying especially as dh and I are going away soon and I want to know when I can start to think about testing. Oh and in other news I bought Brazil nuts

That would be awesome Creme!

Southy - I would seriously say temp for 1 month, that way you have a reference point and if you're ever in this situation again you will just have to take your temp for a couple of days to get a pretty good idea of if you've ovd or not. Xx

Cariad, it's sure been a tough month for you but as you say April is almost here and not long until your puppy arrives I hope you'll share a photo of him when he arrives. I hope your egg was from your good side. You would think it would stop releasing eggs from the broken side.

Trixie, I love sweet potato just not in a brownie was the gnocchi good?

The other bus is super busy so keeping up will be hard but no-ones going to mind if you just post when you have time. It's not always possible to read every post when you're busy.

Creme, 10dpo is still early. I wouldn't worry about having your hair coloured at this early stage. To be honest I've always had my hair coloured through pregnancy, I'd be a scary sight otherwise

Well I had a positive opk last night and again this morning. We've managed to dtd 3 days on the trot now but I can't see us managing again tomorrow. It's been a tough ride this time, dp hates dtd on demand and the pressure on us both is hard think we may give AI a go next cycle and save dtd for fun

Thanks Spinning. I did get it coloured Sounds like you've covered your bases well this month. I know DTD on demand can be stressful for both.

I am feeling ROTTEN today. My head is still pounding and I feel all hot and sick. Three drinks last night can't mean a hangover so either a) I feel ill because I overslept b) I have a bug/virus c) maybe, just maybe...? We will see!

I went to Aldi and bought Brazil nuts! Pretty sure worldwide sales of them have peaked over the last week

Hey All,

I've decided to stay out here too, you're far easier to keep up with!

Creme I felt just like that all last week, whopping headache that lasted three days, afternoon nausea... Sadly BFN for me but have everything crossed for you - when do you test??

Well I tested today but I will try not to test again til AF is due on the 1st. Good luck for you this month!

Will log onto amazon and get me a thermometer, you're right sammy I need to do it. Just need to get over my temping fear

Night everyone. Xx

Decided to stay here, have to say when I went to look at the other bus I didn't feel very welcome as I don't tend to post often.

Going to go all out this month and temp, opk and advanced opk. High yesterday and peak today along with positive ic opk last night and this. Dtd two nights ago and this morning, plan on dtd tomorrow morning as well.

Cariad - have you decided what you are going to call the puppy?

Southy - I second Sammylou1's comment, I only temp a few days before ov and after each month after having done a couple of full cycles just to confirm.
