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

[Cariad2014]

Here's hoping this month is THE one!

It will be good to have a second volunteer incase night is DTD. It is very easy I promise!!!

Mummy The trouble is I'm not sure I did OV a day early, this is my first month of temping and my chart is a bit slap-dash because I can't seem to manage to take it at the same time every day and I've been ill which has probably mucked it up as well. Fertility Friend hasn't confirmed ovulation (I don't have the cross-hairs) either. I guess I'm just hoping I have OVd. I don't want to suggest moving the date and get it wrong, especially as the consultant said it was important that it be on CD21. The blood-test person isn't coming to the hospital specially for me or anything, they're already there. They told me to just turn up early and wait for a free slot.

No worries mummy I am an excellent multitasker

Ok Banana I will shut up!

Mummy no don't! You were only saying what I have been thinking for the last couple of days! I just don't trust my own competence enough, that's the problem.

Which is why I also am NOT going to volunteer to be the stats lady!!

Missmrs It's not ov cramps as I got a positive opk on cd13 and now cd19.

Banana I asked the question on the mega bus about having the test a day early as got positive opk on cd13. The advice was to go on day 21 as ov occurs 24-36 hours after positive opk so based on that I think you should stick with having it on day 21 test as planned.

Mummy I would have offered to be shown how to do the stats but I'm just worried I won't be able to keep up

Merry That is the idea with 2 doing it, just incase one is missed - miss things all the time of megabus! But it is ok if you don't feel confident - night seems pretty raring to go and I think it is quite a small bus now - though the list is long from a few popping in and out.

Banana - Merry's advice seems sound and far more informed than mine! I will skulk back to my corner

Hi ladies, just to give my stats now that af has arrived.

###sammylou, 29, ttc1, cycle 18, otd 28/04/15###

Mummy don't skulk back! You were only saying what we were thinking and worrying about getting the day wrong. I will leave the stats to night as I wouldn't be confident enough about prioritising them

Mummy please don't skulk! You've been very helpful indeed.

Aww shucks, thanks guys. I didn't mean to sound stroppy! Can I blame AF, CD2 here.... all round

Well the driving is very controlled you lot! I like it! I think this am I caught up on both the megatron and this here April zenbus.. So I think I deserve some kinda ?! Right?! Hope you are all ok and keeping positive through this TTC lark. It ain't easy but it's so so helpful having each other for support!

Welcome to the bus Alpha and welcome back Sakura!

Sorry about the bug Jugging I hope it will bugger off for you soon, not ideal at all! So much going around just now!

Keep calm Melon, not long now!

coffee so sorry for bfn. You will however get another shot in April.. Which is easter time... Which brings lots and lots of luck! So.. April is the one!!

Mummy for you

Hello all,

sammy and coffee sorry about the arrival/impending arrival of af.

coffee I hope you're right about the opks and temps, I did read somewhere that temping isn't always effective for some people as the progesterone doesn't necessarily generate enough additional heat to see a rise. I seem to be a hot person throughout the month!

Hope everyone else is well today, will catch up properly later.

Mummy if you are CD2 then I think you deserve AND personally.

Thanks for Sparkly for you managing to catch up!!

Banana I have family up this weekend and I am so looking forward to and a BBQ - rain or shine!!

mummy that sounds like a lovely weekend!! We don't have easter plans as yet.think we will have a Nice drive and picnic on Sunday if I feel up to it. Hope the sun is shining!

That sounds nice Mummy and Sparkly. We're going to stay with MIL and FIL who live by the seaside, so I will cross my fingers for nice weather all round.

Oh that sounds lovely Banana I do love the seaside! .. We may head up to St Andrews.. Love a bit of sea air!!

It is meant to be dry and bright but cold everywhere this weekend. But we can eat a BBQ inside or in the garden wearing coats! It is our last visit from family before we gut the spare room ready to make it into a nursery, it is my Dad and his partner who has just finished chemo and I haven't seen them for over 6 months so am really exited.

Sparkly I hope you feel up to a picnic, that sounds lovely. DP thinks picnics are stupid, I wish we went for them sometimes!

Banana That sounds lovely too, enjoy it!

Sparkly I can usually manage to persuade DH to go on a picnic, but only if it includes a bike ride! Looking forward to some this summer (if the weather is kind). I hope you manage it.

Mummy I think any British BBQ has to include coats doesn't it? Or am I doing it wrong?!

Hi ladies, sorry I've been a bit awol.

Cariad, makes sense not to switch treatments mid cycle. I also had my first ever AF that didn't require paracetamol after acupuncture, it's brilliant isn't it. I used to be doubled up in pain waiting for the paracetamol to kick in. Mine have been pretty much pain free since then though I still get some pre AF cramping. So excited that you are getting a little puppy. I think pets are a real comfort, don't know what I'd do with my little fur baby.

Spinning, I think I enjoyed making the gnocci more than eating it. The recipe said to serve them with spinach, mushrooms and parmesan. It was nice but a bit bland. Think I'll have to try and inject more flavour next time.

Welcome Joey, Carrot, Aletea, Alpha and welcome back Sakura

Sweets, congratulations on your BFP

Tessie, how annoying re the temping - fx for a better nights sleep tonight.

MissMrsMummy, I am so sorry to hear about your loss I hope your appointment tomorrow goes well and you manage to rearrange your private consultation. I had a private IVF consultation last week and found it so helpful as we discussed all possible reasons for not having conceived yet. I hope they are able to prescribe something to help with your progesterone levels.

I expect AF on Sunday pm going by my last 2 cycles. I was getting all excited as it got to yesterday morning and I'd not had any PMT/cramping. I was a little ratty a few days ago but I think that was more tiredness than anything. Then yesterday pm started getting unmistakable pre AF cramping which I always get a week before AF. Was feeling pretty crap but I am adopting Melon's mantra - I'm not out until I'm out.

Good luck on Thursday Melon, I would join you but it would be too early for me.

Where's the new bus people?
