No April Fools, just bfp's please! April BFP bus!!

[weechops]

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

Hi everyone, can I save a seat too? Just finished AF after a 50 day cycle so hoping things are back on track this month! My stats are:

Name: Littlepixie
Age: 30
Cycle: approx 12 but irregular so hard to tell
TTC: #1

Going to use OPKs this month to see if I can pin down when I ovulate, haven't had much luck with them so far. My cycles are usually around 37 days so need to be patient before I start testing as I'm only on CD7!

Well I'm here. Witch got me today. Aargh!

TTC #3
Cycle #3
Age 34
ETD 12th April

Will throw everything I can at this cycle. EPO, SMEP, OPKS, any other acronym I can google I to submission.

We are going on holiday (me, DH and DDs) just about at the beginning of the fertile window. DH and I may need to get creative (and quiet) with hotel bathrooms ....

Really, really want this to be the month so I can dress my Christmas baby in a really tacky cute Christmas outfit and Facebook it like crazy.

Hey guys af got me last night after being a week late so starting again. Wine and choc for me tonight I think if anyone wants any?

Ttc: 2 (ds is 3)
Cycle: 3

Love what giraffes said about the Christmas baby thing. I'm really hoping this is my month as that would put 4 years between children and didn't want to go much longer and also it's the last chance of a 2016 baby

Hie ladies,
Place marking. On my 9th cycle and wishing everyone success this month for a 2016 👶 baby!!

Hi all,
I don't know whether to get on our not.

My stats:

Nimisha,
TTC #3
Cycle 0 (but feels like longer)
I have a stuck mirena coil and am waiting for it to come out. I have an appointment with gynae on Monday, hoping they will have a go at removing it then but realistically I might need to wait even longer for a procedure.

I'm being hopeful though, I've bought some OPKs and an thinking about trying SMEP ( or a variation). I feel like I've been trying for months but I haven't even got started yet.

Fingers crossed for Monday!

Eek Nimisha that doesn't sound like fun. I didn't know they could get stuck?! Mine's scheduled to be removed on the 21st - I'm hoping it hurts a lot less than when it went in!

Hi ladies, can I join?

tTc #1
Cycle 2 CD 4
Managed to get a BFP on cycle 1 but unfortunately was a chemical pregnancy so waited to stop bleeding then I'm all systems go for round 2. Will try hold off testing until a least a week late for AF

My first coil came out fine, no pain at all Tabitha78 . Hope it's the same for you. This one's strings have disappeared.

Sorry to hear that boodles fx for this month

And hey mimi (familiar face yay)

Thanks Nimisha that's good to hear - I hope they get yours out without too much fuss!!

CD6 here and just ordered a load my OPKs. I feel like I'm surrounded by pregnant people at the moment. I'm looking forward to snuggling all these squishy newborns in a few months but would really like to be growing my own by that point!

We're starting cycle #2 this month. Does anyone else worry that it just won't happen for them even though there's no reason why not? I just can't picture seeing that positive pg test. Is it just me?

Can I join. I bring one of those massive kinder eggs you only get at Easter.

TTC: #2 (DS 2)
Age: wrong side of 35
Cycle: 1

Mirena was removed last month, so pretty sure this month will be a BFN, but ever the optimist... Think I'm ovulating around the 18th March and AF due April 3rd. I've bought some cheapo OPKs on-line. Best of luck everyone!

Got the period from hell this month. I am very ready to be done with them for a year or so...

I hate this part of the month. It's worse than the 2ww. There's not even any possibility of a BFP on the way. You can have a drink though, so swings and roundabouts...

CD5 for me, so about 10 days till things get going.

Anyone at a more interesting stage of the month yet?

I'm 1dpo so in my first TWW. Ovia is telling me to test in 12 days based on a 31 day cycle, but my cycles can be irregular so not sure exactly how to know if my AF is late. As much as I am telling myself I will leave it longer, if Ovia says its ok then I must test then!! anyone else is TWW?

Well you are far more interesting devgal! I think most people's luteal phase (the bit between ovulation and period) is a fairly constant 14 days, even if their cycle length varies quite a bit. (A short or long LP needs investigation). So, you would be officially 'late' 14 days post ovulation, which is approximately when obis is telling you to test. Some lucky people get BFNs as early as 9 or 10 dpo which is why I pee on so many sticks each month but testing so early does risk the disappointment of a chemical pregnancy. Ovia's date seems quite sensible to me, especially if you're confident of your ovulation date.

Ovia not obis

That's good to know thank you. As well as usual ov symptoms and Ovia telling me, I had positive Opk on Sunday so I'm fairly confident! Seems like ages away at the moment but I'm happy to be relaxed about it at this stage as it is all v.new.

Hey!

I was hoping to get a seat here for April.

I'm new to Mumsnet and just started TTC!
Name: Cometa
TTC #1
Age 29
Cycle #1

I think the test should be around 11th of April but I don't really know how my cycles are going to be after almost 10 years with Nuvaring. We are taking things with calm, no ov test....also I would prefer maybe in a couple months as one of my friends just got engaged and she is marrying in November in Spain! I wouldn't be able go flight 😢

Hi

Can I join in.

Dutchy
Ttc #2
Age 27
Cycle 1

I have a 6 month old and we have just decided to ttc again (mad perhaps). My cycles are still messed up and haven't settled at all. I stopped bf a month ago so no idea how long until they settle but we shall enjoy the journey!! Not going to do anything in particular just yet (other than have sex). We conceived our ds first cycle but no idea if we will be that lucky this time.

Right behind you mrsnucky cycle 9.i feel fed up too but we gotta keep going. Gl and hope this is your cycle.

Hope your ds gets well soon trying.its so heartbreaking when the little ones aren't well.

Hie dutchy hope your ttc journey is short and sweet

Mimilicious013 I am symptom spotting like mad which is ridiculous I know, but I just feel like this is going to be a very long tww! I am only on cycle 1, but following a long year of Dr/hospital appointments and various tests, scans and medications to be diagnosed with PCOS has left me feeling like I have been on this journey for a long time now (which I do know of course is not the same). As much as I would like to be relaxed about everything I am already going nuts! Hopefully I won't feel quite like this next month if I get a bfn this time. What date are you going to test?
