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

Are you 10 days late notta or is this the first cycle after stopping hormonal contraception?

Good luck with the nap training

It's my first cycle since having ds, he is 8.5 months and I had one very heavy period.

Thank you, failed today. He's asleep on my lap.

I miss those naps with my DS. He's 3 and in a proper bed. IIRC it was around 8 months when he changed from 2 naps (9.30 and 3) to one nap after lunch which he still has (starting any time from 12-1.30 and lasting up to 3 hours)

3 hours carrot!!! I'm lucky if weechops3 sleeps for an hour. He's snoozing now but starting to wake up.

Well I think I'll be joining the May bus! Only managed to dtd once!!! Although I did get positive OPK on the tests the next day. Not very hopeful though. Made the big mistake of asking DP rather than just jumping on him, he thinks just dtd for the sake of baby making is too clinical. I'm gonna have to get creative lol

He likes his sleep weechops

I am symptom spotting like a loon at 4dpo. Someone smack me

Notta - the burping, it's crazy!! Still none the wiser though. Packed DP off to Superdrug for some more sticks. He was horrified at how much I've spent POAS Internet cheapies for me next month if I'm not pg I think !!

Temp still high and no AF but still BFN.

I am beginning to think maybe my ov day was slightly out? AF was due today, so I should either be pg or out. Limbo is annoying, because I've got pate in the fridge and I would like to indulge (plus alcohol) if I'm not bloody preggers.

Had a crap night's sleep. Kept waking up feeling like I was dying of thirst and I couldn't sleep on my front as my boobs were too sore

Still no sign of AF. More spotting, brown this time. So I did a test this morning after the school run so I could sit with DH to watch the result. That went well. I pissed all over the window by mistake with the force of my half litre of water plus school run waiting time Test is completely unreadable but DH joking around saying "It's a super baby! I'm going to tell everyone at work!"

I don't want him to get excited yet. I do, but I know it's going to freak me out when it does happen. Gah I am a mess of emotions again today :( He was asking when he can tell people at work and I was like, no, give me a couple of days at least to get my head around it! He seems to think this is crazy and since we are trying I should be totally ready and on board 100% all the time. Is that a typical man thing to think, is it different for us because of the whole giving birth thing? I mean, I'm excited and looking forward to getting a BFP but nervous as well. A successful pregnancy means 9 months of worrying about what I'm doing, eating, being poked and prodded etc, then birth which is great and everything, but come on, it's not like it's a walk in the park. Then newborn stuff. Toddlers. Everything will change. Maybe it's that he doesn't have the memory of that because he's only lived with us since DS was 3. Or he's ready for the change, whatever it is. Men's lives don't change at all in the same way, do they?

carrot I have nap envy. Ds has never napped well, we just manage 40 minutes twice a day.

Tabitha tmi but I let a trump out when walking through town when pregnant too. No idea it was coming!

bertie sounds promising! I was pissed off when my husband told his family, some who isn't even close to, on the day I had the positive test. I only told my family because he had, and it didn't become common knowledge til 12 weeks.

And no, their lives really aren't affected in the same way. We actually had a row last night because he compared his period of lazy arse unemployment with me being at home with baby.

Having had 3 miscarriages in 6 months I would suggest tell anyone who you would want to lean on for support if anything went wrong and tell no-one who will be nosy or massively full on (i.e. wanting to decorate a nursery the weekend they find out and pestering you about names). You might find then when you get a BFP you both want to hold the news to yourselves for a while whilst you get used to it.

I'm sorry if that sounds negative - I don't mean it to

No that's how I feel as well Carrot. We have higher risk for mc as well so I'm nervous about that. When I found out I was pg with DS I was floored but my ex was so excited he then told everyone at work when I hadn't even had a chance to think about it which really put me off. I did speak to DH and explain why I was feeling anxious and he does get it, he just wanted to tell his best friend for support which I've now said yes of course. I just didn't want it going around the company and people being excited because, yeah, I just want it to be our special thing for a little while.

Test has dried and looks pretty clearly negative actually so I will leave it :) I'm a bit relieved which is not that I don't want to be pregnant, I just appreciate having another month to not be. I'm not the kind of person who wants things to happen straight away. It's good with me if it takes some time. (Haha - remind me of this when I get impatient!)

Hi all! I'm rejoining the buses after having my first baby just over a year ago. These buses were a lifeline for me when I was on them (around spring/summer 2014!)
I don't think I'll be officially on this bus as not officially trying until next cycle.... but can't find a May bus. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks! :)

Aah there is something on the stupid test now. I think it's an evaporation line but it's a pink test so unsure. Way outside the time limit, anyway.

I'm going to have to waste another one aren't I?

IT wouldn't focus

Holy shit!! Test #2 produced horizontal streaks (this is the last time I trust cheap tests from China) and then the faintest line ever. Won't even show up on a camera. DH is like "Go buy an expensive one!!" And now I've ruined it by tilting it and the extra wee somehow rolled inside the test.

Aaaaaaaaagh!

You know you need to go buy a FRER bertie.... they are the only tests I 100% trust! :)

They don't have them here!! :( :( I have got a pink "extra sensitive" one. It has a good rating in the Öko Test so I took that as a good sign??

Where are you bertie? Sorry, I've only just joined the bus haha. Don't know what else to suggest, keeping my fingers crossed for you though!

It's made in Germany at least, not China.

I'm in Germany han :)

Han - there is a May bus that Kellz set up. I think it's got a straightforward title rather than a punning one

carrot I found it in the end haha, it had been pushed to the second page.

Yes this conception topic must be one of the busiest on MN! I noticed that when I started a thread for mums of one older DC.

I can't POAS until the 25th... I hate the tww, just want to know if I've got it and if I will have a January baby rather than a (3rd!) February baby (2 DD's birthdays are Feb 2nd and Feb 8th)
