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?!

I'm so sorry you've had more disappointment Mimi, how frustrating. Your cycles are quite short, do you think you're getting a long enough LP?
TTC definitely loses its novelty after a while! My DH has vowed to be more on the ball with it all next month if we don't get our BFP next week. I had a few rejections from him in fertile week, and I think he regrets that now as he's asking if we DTD enough (up until this point I haven't involved him with timings at all). Think I may have to make myself explicitly clear next time. I know you shouldn't make a chore of it, but after several months TTC, you just gotta get it done! I think we both took for granted that it would have happened by now.

CD18

Oops done it again.. My finger hits post all the time before I finish! Argggh

So cd18
Bleeding has almost stopped (tmi browny cm now) really odd!!?
So I have no idea now what is going on. Have a gyne appt on 5th may. So tis a waiting game now. Very disappointed too not to get a 2016 baby, so now hoping for a Jan/Feb baby instead.

Been emotional today, DH not massively supportive over it as it is quite relaxed about having another if happens it happens. He's annoyed that I'm so obsessed.. So I do feel lonely expressing how I feel when blood shows and my disappointment is obvious. Off of food today, so tired and fed up too. Don't even fancy a glass of wine..

CD 35

Well tonight I feel bloody awful! Nauseous, cramps, back so sore, boobs on fire, headache and tired. I feel I'm having the symptoms of pregnancy but it's my body playing a really cruel trick. Oh and I twisted my ankle earlier and it hurts!
Sorry for giant rant. Can't say to anyone else

Morning everyone, CD 17
Dtd again last night, third night in a row and I'm getting a bit sore. I think I'm ovulating today, loads of cramps on the right, and some on the left too. I'm getting twinges every time I sit down.

Footprints hope the bleeding stops.
Jod how are you feeling this morning?

Tee it's hard to keep up the momentum isn't it, I'm only cycle one (though I had to wait three and a half months to get the coil or so it feels like longer) I'm exhausted...

Mimi how are you this morning, big hugs.

Radders any symptoms to report?

Hello to everyone else.

Hope you're feeling better this morning footprints. Things usually seem more hopeful after a good nights sleep. I know what you mean about 2016 baby, I felt the same about that. 2017 seems so far away.
My DH is very relaxed about it all too, they just don't understand the stress of it all.
Oh dear Jod, it does sound like pregnancy. Such a long wait you're having!
Nimisha sounds like you've covered all bases!! Welcome to the 2ww.
Mimi I hope you're feeling better today too xxx

CD 24
Light cramps last night and nipples very sensitive! AF due Saturday so could be that! Hope everyone feeling better today! Nimisha you seem to have managed well with dtd timing! My DH is the same Tee, he is mad for a baby but not willing to put the work in on the right days! 😂 I'm exhausted, finding it very difficult to keep my eyes open at night and I'm normally like an owl!

Big hug footprints I hope you're alright. I know what you mean about the 2016 thing and I know I'll think this too if AF shows up. Remember that it's just another month though, and hopefully you'll be trying again soon. Glad you've got your appointment booked in.

jod hope you're feeling better too. AF must be really quite late now?

Not much to report from me. It's the absence of sore boobs which is the weirdest thing. I've had painful sore tits before my period forever. This month - nothing. I also can't seem to stop crying still. We went to see The Jungle Book last night and I cried so much my sleeves were wet.

I might wait until Saturday to test though - if AF doesn't show. If I get a positive I don't know if I can trust myself to go into work and be normal!

Thanks Tee,
No blood today whatsoever, the tap seemed to switch off yesterday afternoon. So appears that I had medium bleeding from cd17-cd18. My temp today is still on a high, only dip was before ovulation but has remained high. So have worked out that it didn't drop before the bleed (so thinking it's not AF -which is usually 5-7days had no other AF signs. Very odd. My ff temp chart app is telling me I'm 3dpo and that I had ovulated according to my temps.

So possibly I'm on 2ww or maybe I'll be fertile again in 12 days or so? Think I'll countdown both and continue to opk just incase! Our bodies are one big mystery. Praying for a miracle..that bleeding was a cleanout for a big fat massive juicy ripe egg and that the swimmers pushed it all out the way !!

Oh jod,sounds very good!! Keep that nausea feeling for now to give u hope, then when u get your dark positive it can do one! ;) sorry about your ankle! Good excuse to take it easy.

Nim- you are just behind me - hurry and ovulate so we can guess together in the next week or so

Mimi- do u think you're having AF or could it be implantation bleed?

Anyone else-* just starting 2ww?

CD 36

Morning all, I feel so tired today I couldn't be bothered to do an IC. I just about got myself together to get DS to school.
footprints could it have been ovulation spotting?
Sorry AF arrived mimi
parney symptoms sound promising!!!
nim timing is spot on!
sucha and tee I have everything crossed for you guys.

Morning all. Aw mimi I'm sorry lovely, I really thought this was your month! Ah well, come join me in getting suitably pissed on Friday evening oh and [some and too! Big hugs xx

Fx that May will be our month everyone!

Thanks minty ,definitely joining u Friday. I kinda need that for my sanity. Good luck to you too hun!!!

I really love this thread. I hope we keep it in May?!

Yes will be lovely to keep chatting to you all. Can't wait to see how everyone is doing each day. Something to look forward to :)

Mimi, hope you are feeling better today.

Goodness Jod, it does sound like you are pregnant. Sorry about your ankle.

Fx to everyone in their 2ww. Sorry not addressing you all personally, I am on my phone and can't see the full thread.

I have just bought a digital test to do tomorrow morning (AF due tomorrow). My main symptom is bloating. I am fairly slim (size 8-10) but my belly has been bloated for a week now. This may be down to too much food though whilst away with work. No sore boobs etc, but I didn't get this with DS either.

I will let you know what tomorrow brings.

I'm expecting AF this weekend! Couldn't resist an IC after I posted this morning! BFN! Blah!!! Ah well CD 24, so if she's going to show I hope she hurries up! Definitely staying for May!!

AF always bang on 14 dpo so Saturday for me!

footprints are you sure it couldn't have been implantation blood? I'm sure I've read that lots of women mistake it for their period.

Sorry about AF mimi lots of for you xx

newhair digital test is exciting keep us posted tomorrow!

Not out until your out parney! Any inkling?

Def keen to stay in May you lot are ace

Cd19

Sucha- don't think it was implantation as was only 1-3 days after ovulation. Think that would be too soon. Really don't think it will happen this month now.

Minor cramping today and tired but apart from that nothing..

Hello! Lots to catch up on, had to wait to have time to read through everything.
Hope everyone is ok.

Nimisha - I know it's tiring keeping up with dtd but at least you've done it at the right time. Sounds like the type of ovulation pains I get.

Footprints - if it wasn't for the bleed everything would be normal - sounds like you ovulated and your temps indicate that too.

Mimi - sorry to hear about AF but onwards and upwards with the next cycle. Sending lots of positive hugs your way. I've had it before where it's not put the message through and I've had to rewrite it! If I write loads I copy it before I send it now! Least you can indulge in drink and chocolate. I'm such a chocoholic p... Got lots for my birthday and trying to steadily eat it rather than binge like I normally do!
My OH ate my last Ferraro rocher though

Jod still convinced something is going on in there!

Parney still might be too early to show anything so fingers crossed for you and AF stays away at the weekend.

Suchajem - feeling positive for you

Sorry if I've missed anyone!

I've not got any further symptoms to report. Just thick and creamy CM. I honestly feel no different at the moment and that's why it's difficult to take in and believe it's real I think.
I've done a u turn and can't be dealing it's just seeing a line any more as even though I know a line is a line they're not really dark and so I just want to see pregnant written! I've bought one online so should hopefully arrive by weekend for me to test again then. I'm not doing another one until then. I've done one everyday since Saturday!

Just about to catch up on one born every minute! Eeeeeek

I think you are right to wait to do the digital radders
I did exactly that when I was PG with both of mine.
It's exactly 4 weeks today from I had the coil removed. It feels like a lifetime! Still no sign of AF. Had to go to bed this afternoon as felt so sick and tired!!
