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

[Cariad2014]

Here's hoping this month is THE one!

Thanks coffee it is a bit hectic over there! Not much to report from me, being really relaxed this cycle so have no idea what CD I am, whether I have ovd or still due to. Just having regular dtd :)

Seeing my Goddaughter on Saturday so that might bring back the crazy

Oh coffee, sorry to hear about bfn. How many dpo are you?

sparkly, we are mostly driverless - calmly drifting like coffee says - very chilled! I do like the exciting mega bus, but it's definitely nice to hang out here too!

sweets!! have you poas again yet?!

coffee and sparkly thank you for your kind words.

I'm so overwhelmed by the support from everyone on here DH has declared his love for mn as it has helped me so much! Long live mn!

Just popping back on to say MissMrsMummy I am so sorry to hear of your mc. Thinking of you

Hello April ladies. Is anyone POAS on Thursday? I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment as I have pretty bad cramps at the moment but you're not put til you're out!

Thanks coffee, feeling better today than yesterday!

Melon, when is AF due??

Do we have stats for the April bus or are we not bothering?

Sorry for the bfn coffee if there's still no sign of AF don't give up hope

Hope you feel better soon juggling I'm laid in bed ill too :( had a cold for a week and a half then it went now I have a new cold which has totally knocked me, feel so incredibly hot and tired. Do you know when you ov last month juggling? If it were my cycle I think stopping DTD at cd18 would be stopping a couple of days too early, does depend on your cycle though x

frog the first week is a boring week isn't it! Won't be long before you're waiting to test hope it goes quick for you

Hi sakura good on you for going to the Dr, I recently plucked up the courage to speak to mine and it made me feel better, hope you're feeling a bit better too.

And sparkly totally agree lovely calm bus, hope you are well

Friday but I'm testing Thursday

melon I know this is a very unpopular view on here, but I would just go buy a frer and test. I just like to know, one way or another though, rather than torment myself. I have all fingers crossed for you though.

thanks lovely southy but I just had a smudge of brownish cm, have af type cramps and poured myself another wine!! If af comes tomorrow, I will still be in for a chance at the end of april

re stats - I think we were waiting to see how many ppl hung around before we started.

missmrsmummy so glad we can be there for you

Coffee I have bought a first response but DH has hidden it for me at my request! I promised myself I'd wait til Thursday so that's what I'm doing. I think the reason I'm so worked up is that Thursday is the due date of our little one that we lost last year. I keep thinking it's fate etc but I know I'm just piling more stress and pressure on myself!

Spinning maybe it is normal and I'm just over thinking this and getting worried. I have day 21 bloods on thurs. I think I'm noticing more things this cycle because I'm more aware this time, thanks to you ladies so it could just be normal post ovulation cramps. We have however, decided that if it doesn't happen this cycle we will go for private treatment. We already have DD so don't think the NHS will offer us any treatment and I would like to get the fertility tests done quickly. I didn't want to go down this route a second time but unfortunately it looks like we will have to.

Good luck to those testing in the next few days.

oh melon sorry . Good on you for waiting, sorry for being insensitive.

No not at all coffee! I've had the same conversation in my head I do like to beat myself up!

Sorry coffee that's the only plus side of AF is the chance to have a cheeky guilt free drink , think that will be me next week. Starting to get my usual symptoms too.

melon i'll be thinking if you thursday, I so hope you get the bfp you deserve

merry sounds like you're having a hard time, I hope your blood tests give you some answers

Thanks Southy it took 3 years of ttc with DD and numerous investigations, zoladex injections and operations. I dread having to do it all again. I'm mostly positive but sometimes I really gets to me.
Sorry for the moany post

Hello everyone...what a nice ride this is compared to the crazy fast driving on the mega bus!!

Welcome to Alpha and welcome back Sakura!

Coffee sorry about the bfn, hang in there

Sorry you are ill Jugging I hope it won't last long

Keeping fx for you on Thursday Melon but try not to put pressure on yourself, although I can imagine it is hard not to.

Merry Please don't apologise for voicing your concerns and worries. We all want to support you through this. You will get there.

I had a bit of a ffs moment this morning here. Had a disturbed night's sleep due to getting out of bed for a wee at 4am then the cat waking me up wanting feeding at 5.30am. Normally DH gets up to see to her but he was away last night... I have discarded temp for today which means ff hasn't been able to pinpoint ovulation. I feel so nervous about it after last cycle, I just want those crosshairs!!

Don't be sorry merry I feel like I moan a lot too, I don't really have anyone I talk to about ttc and I really appreciate everyone's support and comments here so don't you feel bad at all. I actually find it helpful hearing about other peoples journeys :) I'm sorry you had such a tough time ttc your dd but remember you are a strong person, you came through everything and you can do it again. We will all be here to support you too x

Thanks ladies, you are wonderful I don't talk about ttc with anybody either so it really helps to talk on here and the advice and support has been great. I just dreaded getting to this point but at cycle 13, we really need to start things off. I'm getting stabbing pains on and off in my right side and cramps so I know AF will arrive even though it's 9 days away. DD is with my dsis and I'm at work this afternoon so that will keep my mind off things.
I've never been able to temp but have used opks. Do you use opks as well tessie?

Merry I have CD21 blood test on Friday and I'm also feeling very aware of my cycle this time. Also (because my body is very annoying) CD21 falls on Good Friday when everything except the emergency department is going to be closed. So I have to go there at 7am and wait to get my bloods done! I'm also full of cold at the moment and feeling quite rubbish... not really looking forward to having bloods done while sick but there we go!

This is my first month temping, and although my temps seem to be a lot more up and down than the example chart, it DOES look to me as though there was a big spike on CD14, which I think means I might have OVd on CD13 (a day earlier than average). Which means, if I'm right, we managed to time our shagging perfectly this month! Fingers very tightly crossed here.

Bananaraces I only started noticing these things when I came in here and I'm so glad I did. You'd have thought I'd know all this from last time but it's amazing what doctors don't tell you and suddenly you have a wealth of knowledge from being on here. That is mega early but at least it's done and you will have some answers soon. We managed to dtd around ov time this cycle so now just waiting.
I have my fx tightly crossed for you and hope April is the lucky month

dizzy could the cramps be ov cramps or are you way past that now? Some cycles I get like a stitch and bloating and cramps when I ov

Hi April bus!! Everyone ready to set off? Should be few Christmas and New Year babies made on this 'ere bus. Have a pleasant ride!

Banana as you ov'd a day early can you not move the day 21 test to the Thursday and get it done with the GP? or a community hospital should be able to take bloods (A&E attendances are very expensive). It may be worth asking the question.

I was doing the stats on this bus. Hopefully it should be up to date ish but my AF moved due to early ov so shifted back to the March/Megabus so may have missed a few updates - some of which I should be able to work out from the MegaBus sheet. Here is the stats link

Anyone want to take over? I am doing the stats on the mega bus and struggle to keep up with one let alone 2!! It is very easy to do, just like excel but online. I just need a volunteer and their email address - and they need to sign up for googlesheets which is also very easy - I am happy to talk someone through it on pm.

mummy if you are happy to talk me through it I will give it a go!
