Back to SQUARE ONE CD1! Anyone want to spend April with me?!

[Tee4me]

So AF got me this afternoon!! Trying not to get down in the dumps (although I just watched 'one born every minute' on catch-up and sobbed!)
Dusting myself off and hoping for better luck in April! A few stats:
Age-33
TTC-5th cycle
DC-1 DS (3.5 years old)
Anyone else at the start of their cycle and trying something new in the hope of a more successful month?!

Yes it does I think.

You're not out til you're out. Hope AF stays away

Have you tried another test with same sample? Surely impossible to keep getting indents on them all?

No I didn't have Any others in the house. will just have to wait and hope AF arrives soon ladies. Thanks for all the kind words

Hello how has everyone's day been?

I'm quite bloated today and full of wind my jeans are cutting into my tummy. I hope this isn't just me getting fat.

CD 9
Some spotting today so I've no idea what's going on with my cycle, but my coil had only been out for 4 days so probably due to that.

I'm absolutely exhausted, I have no idea how I'm going to cope with early pregnancy if I feel like this before I've started.

Jod is there any chance that you didn't ovulate when you think you did and are just earlier in your cycle. I know when I came off the pill I had two weeks of negative tests before one came up positive because my cycle was a bit messed up.

Jod you must be so confused. I saw the lines in previous tests. Remember those other mums on the other thread we were on - it took between 14dpo to 20dpo for it to show up. They kept getting negatives too. So AF still no show for u, so u still could get a BFP - especially as u have sore breasts, nausea and that wet feeling down there. Those are def good signs.

CD 11

Tee, no I meant that not much CM I think may have caused cystitis. Apparently it's more common to get it in the first part of cycle.

Seems ok now, I blasted it out with fluids. Didn't want to take those salty sachets, it'll mess with my diet!

I don't know that I 100% ovulated when I did. I suppose it's possible that I ovulated later. Although the cramping and spotting I had (5DPO) made me convinced that I had ovulated and that was implantation. I still have symptoms but they could be PMT symptoms. I just want to know what's going on

Jod, I suppose you can only wait for a bit. Don't think your gp can refer for bloods unless cycle goes up to CD40. That is what happened to me.
Give it another few days maybe. X

CD 16
Jem I feel like a balloon bloated too I put on a bra that was actually quite roomy a few weeks ago and it's been pinching me all day! My weight tends to fluctuate but this bra has never been tight before! I hope it's not weight gain. Although my boobs could just feel heavy due to where I am in my cycle.. Must Google!

Jod I would find those tests hard to ignore but keep dtd in case you haven't ovulated yet. My first cycle after the pill in February I convinced myself I was pregnant and didn't dtd that much (totally different and stupid on my part, i hadn't even done a test!) now I'm raging as I may have been more fertile then? Some people experience hyper ovulation when coming off the pill like you mentioned about the cool. I really hope your lines get some colour soon, to put you at ease.

Morning ladies
Cd18 had a terrible night after taking aspirin (wonder why when I take it everyday)
Hope everyone slept well and are excited about a new CD, new symptoms.
tee how are u feeling today?
jodhope af stayed away
parney hope u can manage another day of dieting
footprints ov around the corner
sucha remember* nimisha waves

radder at cd21 hope there are more symptoms, waves

Cd21

Woken up last two nights in midst of nightmares / vivid dreams now - I think this is normal pre AF thing though that I had never noticed before ttc.

Seem to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning too - just feel inexplicably down in the dumps. Sad, tired, grumps. It's a beautiful sunny day I hope this will lift my spirits

How's everyone doing? Jod hopefully no sign of the AF for you.
Mimi - remember nimisha...? Sorry I'm not with you.

CD30?
Still no AF I think that's a good thing? In one had it is as I'm not "out" on the other hand I would like to know where I stand.
Didn't test - don't even have tests in house now.
Symptoms - BB's tender and BIG, back aching, tired, A lot of discharge?!
DTD last night just incase. Can't hurt right?!

kkk was saying hello sucha,nimisha and remember.

sorry for the nightmares sucha ,it just might be early signs how long are your cycles?

Hi ladies,
Raddersmrs, Jod, Tee, MiMi, Nimisha, Parney, SuchA and anyone else I might have missed off!

I am back at work and did an OPK yesterday which showed up as negative! So I'm thinking I am in the TWW at the moment! I don't think we DTD as much case should have done but will have to wait it out now!

CD21

Hello everybody!
Not really any symptoms yet although I have noticed an increase in creamy sticky CM.
I thought My boobs felt heavy yesterday for a bit but prob over thinking it.
Had some twinges too like ovulation pains but again.

Suchajem I feel groggy too and bit down in dumps.

Trying to keep positive and not let work stress me out so its a nice environment for an egg to settle!!

Had some frer tests arrive this morning

Oh also my bbt went up this morning from 36.38 to 36.55...
I'm dubious about this thermometer!

jod eek very exciting, hang in there!
mimi I have 29/30 day cycles. I think I noticed my dreams became more vivid before my period last month :(
Hello remember did you get a positive OPK at all?
radders my boobs feel heavier and fuller too and I've had the twinges. Sorry you're feeling low too, we should be able to get away from work this avo and lie in a park somewhere to enjoy this sunshine! Very exciting FRER arrival - where did you get them from?

Another symptom I've had is loose bowels for the last few days, or nothing at all. Usually I am very regular.

Again, could be progesterone dropping as another unfertilised egg dissolves :( or could be the forward march of a bold fertilised egg into my uterus. Which one will it be???

CD 17
Hi everyone, 4 dpo, I think! I get way to excited about the new CD. I don't feel any different, although Ovia kindly pointed out that I may begin to see early symptoms of conception! Here's hoping.. Nothing really worth mentioning though, increased CM like you radders tmi but I was quite uncomfortable at one point yesterday, half expected it to be AF.
I'm intrigued about all the temping, something else I could obsess over if we don't succeed this month. Definitely going to try it!
remember I don't think I'll ever think we dtd enough! I'm always looking back thinking we should have squeezed in more!
Food wise I'm doing ok mimi, pretending Brazil nuts don't have calories though! Had four this morning!
jem hope it's the second option!

CD 12

Beautiful day! I've been busy but every now and then my heart pangs for a baby! Want it so much.

Sounds positive radders,
Jod - I'm sure AF won't get you.

Looking good to the other ladies..yes I get bad dreams lately too, think it's anxiety.

Trying to think of ways to get DH in the mood later..

Share your Hubble tips with is footprints! 😂

I got the FRER from home health UK. They were only 6.50 - something like that.
It says it can be used 6 days before miss d period.... Which means tomorrow! But would only be about 7 dpo so don't think it would be wise to test tomorrow.

Jod do you think you will test again?

Looking forward to hearing if anyone has Bfps this month!
