April Bus: All aboard!

[Bubblegum89]

Another month, another period. I was due af yesterday but had no sign but today I've had brown tinged cm so she'll be here tomorrow.

Anyone else out for March already? Feel free to join in my misery lol

I'm joining, AF got me yesterday.

TTC#1
5th round of clomid at 150mg
Test date: anything from around the 17th April.

I'd agree with that aggy. If we've not dtd for a while it always really stings afterwards. Convinced that is my body reacting to the sperm. As soon as we are dtd regularly that stinginess stops!

Saw doctor today and blood tests next week to start investigations.

i'm getting really frustrated, not sure if i have ovulated or not. On cd18 now and i'm getting high on the CB monitor but not peak.
I have normally ov'd by now so i am thinking maybe this cycle it's not happening.
Really bizarre. We have dtd anyway but i think i'm out.
sigh.

I'm no expert unicorn but isn't it easy to miss the peak ? I wouldn't give up hope yet

Fingers crossed for you unicorn, as boatrace said don't give up yet.

I get the stinginess sometimes too when it's been a while, weird!

I'm typing on my phone and can't find the thing to make people's names bold, sorry!

Aggy you put an * right before and after the name/word x

Hi guys,

I'm currently cd15 and thinking I may have ovulated as my bbt temp has started to raise although I'm getting some ewcm. It's so confusing all of this. Before my MC I would know the exact day but my bodies all thrown out it seems. Dh and I only dtd about 4 times as he got the fw performance issue. Eek!! Anyways I'm guessing I'm starting the long drawn out tww. Testing day is around 7th of April as my app says. My blooming wedding anniversary is the 8th. Who else is in the tww?

Thank you Tiger (hope that worked!) x

So I think I am a little ahead of most people on this thread at 6dpo. I'm tetsting on 1 April and am just starting to imagine symptoms:

• Aches/cramps and hormonal acne, but way too early for PMS.
• tingly breasts yesterday
• woke up sneezing at 4am and could not get back to sleep due to runny nose. No other signs of a cold at all.

CD10 today, started the DTD yesterday, hopefully every other dayish from now til the end of the cycle xx

Fingers crossed satsooma.

Good luck carlotta

Thanks blue and aggy. I just have tomorrow and then it is the end of the Fw. We have now dtd 6 days in a row. No EWCM which I would usually have by today but I wonder if I can't tell.so much because of the semen. Apologies for the tmi!
Can everyone else tell between semen and and EWCM as mine has done a wonder!

mama I find it gets quite tricky. I'm in a similar boat and not sure whether mine is ewcm or semen. Do you temp?

Hi all, I forgot I started this thread lol well my fertile week is over. Got my peak opk on 20th. I'm not buying any pregnancy tests this cycle (ran out of my cheapies last cycle) don't think I'll end up being pregnant and seeing all those negatives is just too difficult.

I'm waiting for my dr to send me a letter for an ultrasound appointment. They found scarring in my uterus on a routine US in December (which explains the infertility!) and they want to do a comparison scan to check that it's still there and if it is, I'll be referred to gynaecology where they can do proper diagnostic tests to determine the severity. I'm then hoping to have the scarring removed privately by a specialist as non-specialist can end up making it worse. So wish me luck!

Hope you're all having a nice day and aren't stressing out about the tww too much :)

No I don't beardy I've always noticed EWCM so figured that would suffice as a pretty good clue and my cycles are between 27 and 30 days. Just strange no EWCM. Again, may of missed it.
Will see what happens this month and perhaps will temp next month if I still don't see any CM. Xx

Thanks all..... I have some ewcm today so hoping I might ov in next couple of days. I'll poas when I get home. Hoping to see a darker line. If nothing happens this month I might go to gp and ask about getting g tested for fibroid. ..... I had a small one last time I was pg abd have a niggling feeling it might be the reason this is taking so long.
I'll dtd again tonight and hope for the best x

Hey guys!

Not been on much due to my shifts but just posting a wee update!

on CD 12. Decided last minute to NOT use my CB ovulation sticks. Mainly because this is my first cycle since stopping provera and have no idea how long it will last so would rather DTD regularly and look out for signs of ovulation and if it doesnt work then at least i know how long my cycle is and can use the sticks next cycle.

Satsoooma got all my fingers and toes crossed for you!

bubblegum Hope you get an appointment soon can the scarring heal up without any treatment?

An April bus already! Can I join please.
CD 6 currently
Due to ovulate around day 14
This will be month 7 TTC no1 (starting to feel like it's never going to happen)

For those not sure about ewcm and semen I looked into this as had same issue. Ewcm is clear not cloudy and more stretchy if you put it between your fingers. (Never believed those were words I would type!)

kittykat no scarring can't heal without treatment :( it takes over the endometrium leaving little to no room for an egg to implant

Feeling really down today. DTD 4 days before ovulation (yesterday). We were supposed to do it again yesterday but got in a stupid argument, and missed it.

I know 4 days before ov doesn't technically leave me out this month, but I don't think it's very likely.

As with most months, am having a day of feeling sorry for myself, and a little cry. It doesn't help that we are going through a house purchase and DH is working insane hours.

Have another semen vs ewcm thing. Tissue absorbs semen but doesn't absorb ewcm! So if it sits on the tissue it is ewcm.

Still place holding. No af yet but cramps have started so think it's imminent. Was due today.

Gah, so after getting all excited earlier in the month that I might be ovulating on time I am now CD24, no ewcm, no temperature shift, negative opks. It's not happening this month :-(
It will also make the blood test I am booked for next week totally pointless as that's meant to happen at some point between ov and af :-(

boatrace i feel you!
Still getting negative opks and only a 'high' on CB monitor. cd20 for me.
So frustrating.

So frustrating :( I hope ovulation happens for you guys soon.

CD9 here. I plan to break out the piss sticks at about CD12. I need to get into the habit of DTD regularly again. Since having DD 15 months ago it has become rather infrequent :/ She still doesn't sleep so when I'm in bed I just want to sleep! I know the more you DTD the more you want to so hopefully it will become habit again now we're ttc. I'm so worried that we'll run out of time, I'm 36 and can practically hear my biological clock.
