Hello everyone!

Starting an April thread because I couldn't see one yet.

I'm 33 (for another week!)
TTC baby number 4
Cycle 3
CD 3
BFP due 11/04

AF is nearly over here, I'll actually be fertile when DP is off work this month which helps. If I get my BFP this month I'll be due in the middle of December.

I'm invoking Murphy's law this month. I'm bound to get a BFP the week before we go for a child free week's holiday right? Grin

Congrats @Chocaholic1 & @Rumblemumble
I might test tomorrow as I'll be 12 dpo. But apart from being tired as I'm full up with a cold I don't have any symptoms so not feeling very hopeful.

Does anyone just rely on cm to guide when ovulation is? My bbt is so spiky i dont think i can rely on it. Im trying not to go down the testing route yet.

Mimilicious013 · 02/04/2018 06:40

so sorry for af @everthingnow and @rach0110, all the luck with the new cycle

Mimilicious013 · 02/04/2018 06:45

thanks @chocaholic1 , l agree with bubblybrit the tww is the worst and I am only 4dpo , 10 more miserable days to go.
@hidcat, will definitely be holding on to the little hope and may your positivity continue lovely

Mimilicious013 · 02/04/2018 06:53

hope you feel better soon @clairhr, and good luck in the tww.
fx for you @ready4number2 on your test today.
l do @pob13, I am tired of being technical

ready4number2 · 02/04/2018 07:03

Thanks @Mimilicious013 just got a bfn but I wasn't expecting anything else really. Onto the next one. Just hoping I don't have to wait as long next time. Currently on CD 77, so hoping AF shows soon.

Mimilicious013 · 02/04/2018 07:10

hugs lovely. that's a long cycle @ready4number2. hope it is indeed shorter or a late bfp tomorrow ((that wld be even better ))

Mimilicious013 · 02/04/2018 07:15

hope your spotting has since stopped @daisymay25. there is no way we can escape stress when ttc. l have enjoyed my weekend with the whole bed to myself lol.
thanks babybeany hope you caught the Easter egg

DaisyMay25 · 02/04/2018 08:04

@Mimilicious013 I literally only had that little bit yesterday but now I've got some tomorrow so I think AF will be here later of tomorrow. Gonna get some conceiveplus for next cycle though, gonna try anything I can. I'm jealous of your weekend in bed!

xLauraa · 02/04/2018 08:35

@LookingAtTheStars89 so glad you've already got a Gynae appt!!! That was quick! I'm waiting for my appt, they have referred me to Gynae though.

Sorry AF came but like you say at least it wasn't a mega long cycle!!!

xLauraa · 02/04/2018 08:37

@Owlpatrol glad you've got an appt with your GP ☺️ keep us updated!

Owlpatrol · 02/04/2018 08:44

@HoneyCake86 @xLauraa @LookingAtTheStars89 thank you ladies ...coming in for big hugs. I must admit I'm glad to see some friendly faces. I've been really anxious this af it's nothing to do with hormones but it's stress and anxiety and I have been feeling down so have resulted in comfort eating all weekend! Getting back on it tomorrow and yep I'll keep you posted. Fx for all us this month xx

xLauraa · 02/04/2018 09:02

@Owlpatrol we're all only human hun, it's normal to have a little blow out every now and again! Lots of love 💜

FrowningFlamingo · 02/04/2018 09:47

Last two days I've had annoying cramps like premenstrual ones. I'm only CD 16 so don't think it can be AF (hope not anyway!!) but I think too early to be implantation pains.
Maybe it's just tapped wind Grin

Babybeany · 02/04/2018 10:04

Morning to you all! How is everyone feeling today? I have become slightly obsessed by the idea of a Christmas baby! I’m not even in the 2WW yet and can’t control myself! Congratulations to all the BFP’s so far! X

Roobles79 · 02/04/2018 10:22

AF arrived for me too this morning on day 32 which is not normal for me. Bring on the wine and chocolate! X

ronniemipperton · 02/04/2018 10:37

I’m 12 dpo, trying to hold off on testing as I spent a fortune POAS last month :D I don’t have any symptoms at all though, and we didn’t dtd much this cycle so not holding out much hope. I had a mega long cycle last month so hoping AF at least turns up vaguely on time if she has to turn up at all.

ronniemipperton · 02/04/2018 11:24

Urgh and instead of symptoms I have mega pre-AF grouch. Bah humbug or whatever the Easter equivalent is. Bah humbegg?

Alex2790 · 02/04/2018 11:35

Using clearblue ovulation sticks had five high days so far. On nights tomorrow so will prob miss my peak days. Had sex on three of my high days i know too much info lol. Hopefully its enough cant take any more disappointment x

bubblybrit · 02/04/2018 11:55

Hi 👋 @HoneyCake86. I’m in the dreaded tww so everything is moving in slow motion at the moment! Would be lovely to get a BFP before I turn 34 later this month. How’s you? Are you feeling any better?

applesauce1 · 02/04/2018 12:29

Congratulations to the BFPs on the April bus! Do you guys have any symptoms yet?

I'm CD31 and 9dpo. AF due on Sunday. I I tested today and got a BFN. No symptoms yet. Don't feel like I'm pregnant anyway. Simultaneously trying not to get my hopes up or get sad all week.

Rach0110 · 02/04/2018 13:11

Thanks @Mimilicious013 and good luck for your appt @Owlpatrol - I'm going to GP this week and going to ask for a hormone test because I keep spotting. @applesauce1 you're not out until the witch arrives!! Fingers crossed for you!! Would be lovely to see more BFPs :-) x

applesauce1 · 02/04/2018 14:40

@Rach0110 good luck with the doctors! I hate this end of the TWW because I feel like I'm in limbo. I just want to know either way. Deep breaths and keep busy!

HoneyCake86 · 02/04/2018 15:25

Glad youre ok Flowers oh the annoying 2ww, just drags on n feels like forever!
Im ok thanks im 14 weeks today but high risk for late mc cos of cervical treatment i had so having to take it easy n might need a stitch put in at a later date. Babys ok so far though (pic). Just taking it week by week.

@owlpatrol i really hope your appointment goes well FlowersFlowersFlowers seriously rooting for ya!

flyingplum · 02/04/2018 16:06

@Pob13 I do - I can't use OPKs reliably due to PCOS. But irregular cycles mean I've been tracking biological signs for years before TTC to work out when AF would turn up. I'm not sure exactly how it relates to ovulation (in the sense of how many days before), but I just take it as a sign that there is much shagging to be done that week...!
