I thought I may as well start up the April bus since af rudely kicked me off the February bus, and my dh isn't here for March!

Been ttc #4 since September last year. Tricky as dh works abroad so much! I think I'm due to ov on the 3rd of April and dh is home on the 1st, so fx we catch it! I'll be testing round about 17th April.

Anyone else ready to hop on board to keep me company? I have a large bag of mini eggs to share Grin

I was just about to make a May one kellz af has got me a week early making this cycle 30 days but lp only 8 :/

Has been a bad month all round with fluey thing beginning of month and the sickness the last few days maybe I'll have more luck next month :(

Just nipping back to see how you are all getting on - congrats under great news!! I'm back from holiday and have stocked up on Agnus castus as advised to try and reduce these long cycles - was technically bumped off the April bus before April! Interesting carrot that the buses used to work differently. My cycles aren't regular post-implant so I tend to spend at least half of the month bouncing between two buses. Keeps me out of trouble I guess!

GinandJazzHands · 08/04/2016 18:25

trying sorry to hear it's been a bad month for you Flowers fingers crossed for both of us in May!

happysunshineandrainbows · 08/04/2016 19:07

Anyone else find that now they've decided they want another the universe is conspiring against them? For example, trying to dish up tea for my 2 girls and the youngest shits herself (she's MAJORLY regressed in the toilet training since before Christmas and honestly it makes me die a little inside when I'm cleaning up poo for the 3rd time in 1 day!) so whilst cleaning her up the dog decides he needs a wee and jest wees on the carpet by the back door (he NEVER does that!) then whilst distracted from the dog by my eldest so I can clean up that accident the dog eats the tea off the counter!!

Argh!!!

Still looking back it was pretty entertaining...if you like that kind of thing!

Anyway, I'm going to try and get DH to have a shot (see what I did there) at making a baby tonight - wish me luck! I've bought a bottle of Rioja to aid my cause :'-)

Have a good Friday night peeps!

happysunshineandrainbows · 09/04/2016 09:44

Good luck next month trying Shock

With DH it turns out letting him decide where we move if he gets a job in the north east was the bargaining chip I needed to get him to change his mind!

Mimilicious013 · 09/04/2016 10:00

Woo happy,u had me laughing there for a bit thanks. Hope u were lucky with dtd last night. I tried every trick and dh was too 😴. Jumping on him today then off to the tww.

Sorry for af trying good luck next month. At the rate at which we are dtd, I will be joining u soon

happysunshineandrainbows · 09/04/2016 18:56

It's a bit quiet on here lately. Shock

Sparrowlegs248 · 09/04/2016 19:10

I'm in limbo. Nothing to report. No af. Two bfn. Cd.......33?

everdene · 09/04/2016 19:12

I'm on the May bus as I'm going to miss the April window.. See you over there!

Tabitha78 · 09/04/2016 19:43

I'm just sitting waiting too - got symptoms (nausea, cramping, bloating) but AF not due til Wednesday.

happysunshineandrainbows · 09/04/2016 19:47

Got over a horrible migraine bleurghhhg. Always get them for 3 days. The only time I don't get them is when I'm pregnant!!

So 5 dpo today and no symptoms whatsoever to report.

tabitha ooh those symptoms sound promising. Not that I normally wish nausea on anyone, but you know, this time of the month I do Grin

Tabitha78 · 09/04/2016 20:00

Yes it does seem promising weechops but don't want to get my hopes up given this is cycle #1 and I don't really know what to expect! Very sensitive to smells - cigarette smoke outside pub last night nearly finished me off Confused

RyvitaBrevis · 09/04/2016 23:25

Positive thoughts and prayers all!

I only ovulated around CD18-19 so my ETD should be more like 15-16 April now. So much for the OPKs - I started on CD12 and used the last one on CD18, which gave me the only positive reading thus far. I thought no point rushing out to buy more OPKs this cycle just to see if the line was still dark on CD19. (We, uh, did the deed on both days anyway.)

No symptoms except a little bit of spotting, and also some acne - not a brilliant sign but we shall see!

GiraffesCantDoMentalArithmetic · 10/04/2016 00:35

Ooh that sounds good Tabitha! Fx

BFN today and yesterday (cd 12 and 13). No symptoms that couldn't just as easily be AF on its way. We had so much bloody sex this month too!!!Angry

SoozC · 10/04/2016 09:54

Sorry to hear it was a BFN, Giraffe, but you're not out yet! People say AF and pg symptoms are similar!

I'm 3 dpo, got 14 days till AF due. I'm not going to test before then as I tested early last month and disappointed myself. Unless I get lots of odd symptoms that is!

Tabitha78 · 10/04/2016 10:14

Sorry you got a BFN Giraffe. BFN for me too this morning CD25. Still have bloating (DP much amused by my constant burping!) and sore nipples now too. If I'm not upduffed then not quite sure what my body's up to!

Mimilicious013 · 10/04/2016 13:13

Sorry for bfn giraffe and tabitha.fx the wicked witch stays away.

Cd15 and sealed the deal at 2amGrin.onto the tww and am hoping not to test until af is late. After ttc 10mnths, bfns are depressing me more and more.... eish!!

BertieBotts · 10/04/2016 16:15

I had a BFN yesterday but still waiting for AF to show up as have had some spotting.

Did have some wine last night. DH did too and I think he is panicking a bit at this TTC thing but seems happier this morning so that's good? Confused

I'm not upset about the BFN as it is only cycle #1 so very expected :) plus it gives me more time to get into this thing, I think I'd be a bit weirdly disappointed if it happened right away!

Tabitha78 · 11/04/2016 08:37

Bertie sorry about the BFN. Hope the DH stats happier now!

I will be a little miffed if AF turns up on Wed given all the symptoms I've had... cramps, pressure, nausea and strong sense of smell, sore nipples, creamy CM, bloating and burping, extreme tiredness. Have any of you had this and then got AF??

Mimilicious013 · 11/04/2016 08:55

bertie that sounds more like pregnancy symptoms. Fx you get your bfp instead of af. Did u poas again?

Tabitha78 · 11/04/2016 09:17

Still a BFN today

BertieBotts · 11/04/2016 09:24

No not yet. I'm not actually due on until tomorrow according to my app. I will POAS on Friday if it hasn't arrived, as I think I ovulated 3 days later than my app predicted. My cycles tend to vary by up to about a week so it's not always very accurate anyway.

I am still getting spotting but nothing bigger. I'll let you know if anything changes! :) I'm in limbo a bit because I want to try some medication, which isn't advised in pregnancy, and I suspect they won't let me try it if I am pg, but it's nothing life threatening or urgent so it can wait if it does happen. I decided to keep pursuing the tests while TTC as long as I keep testing and stop taking it as soon as anything comes up because it seems silly to put it off when it probably won't happen immediately, and it would be useful for me to know if it works for me, so that I can get back to working that out after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

BertieBotts · 11/04/2016 09:26

TMI, I have been a bit constipated which is usually a sign of AF for me.

Sparrowlegs248 · 11/04/2016 10:42

Bfn again, and still no bastard af. I think I.need to accept that my cycles need time to settle before getting all excited about Ttc.

I did burp a lot when preggers tabitha, they just popped out without me knowing they were coming!!

Ds currently resisting his nap. I am trying to get him to nap in his cot, it's very hit and miss.
