April bus

[stegosauruslady]

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?

Happy birthday @bubblybrit !

@Boboelephant No sign of AF yet and decided not to test today in the end. I'm on CD41 which may be 1-2 days late according to apps, but in the last year my cycles have ranged from 32 days to 47 days. May test tomorrow morning if it doesn't show today, 42 is a good number.

@Babybeany I'm telling myself the same thing and also not able to sleep. Googling has led me to believe it may be a symptom. As are various other strange things happening to my body. My google search history is ridiculous.

@LP17 that sounds like a good idea, i might get mine to do the same. Would certainly save me some money!

@Pob13 AF due Sunday so wpuld have thought that there would have been something by now. Keep going super dizzy too so think body is just playing with me again! If AF is late again I think I'll cry 😂 So hard not testing isn't it?! Craziness!

Thanks ladies.
Sorry to hear that some of you have gotten bfn! Fingers crossed for next time.
Still no sign of af for me. Have the feeling that af is gonna start but nothing each time I go to the toilet. No idea what is going on as 2 days late now 😢 think maybe the stress of my job lately has delayed af. Gives false hope even although I know I’m being silly as got bfn yesterday!
Good luck to those yet to test! X

I have managed to convince dh that we need to redo the bedroom; new bed, furniture, etc. Obviously it is our ugly furniture that is stopping us getting pregnant (really clutching at straws).

@Pob I didn't consent to him taking the tests away but admit it has stopped me from POAS every day and spending a fortune on tests. I actually don't want to see a BFN ever again (after a mere 3 cycles!) So determined not to POAS until AF is late....determined!

@bubblybrit that's so sweet of DH. Hope you have a lovely lunch. Anbd a big glass of wine! I still don't think you're out yet!
@clairehr sorry about the bfn but you're still early. Dizziness is a very positive sign! Was one of my earliest with DS.
Haha @Pob13 at least your bedroom will look lovely!

@bubblybrit happy birthday, I hope you’re having a lovely day!! 😊 also, you’re not out til af shows!
@clairehr sorry for the bfn, they’re rubbish 🙁 but you’re definitely not out yet. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Good luck to anyone planning on testing soon! I’m 3dpo so definitely not testing anytime soon,?although I want to already 😂

@LookingAtTheStars89 ah sorry love I didn't get a notification!

TRT is testosterone replacement therapy. I aren't 100% clued up as there is a lot to know about it especially regarding TTC, but apparently it can reduce sperm count for one. He's come off it and they've put him as part of my referral so that they can do sperm analysis etc as part of my referral. So it's kind of OURS now rather than just for me!

Prague!? Have you looked this up! I think it's well funded in my area so fingers crossed if I have to go down that line I should be good as the infertility clinics here have great reviews and success rates!
Can't believe I'm looking at IVF at 24 😣

Happy birthday @bubblybrit

@hayleyfx I'm 3 dpo too, planning my first test next weds, can't wait any longer than that! Stocked up on sensitive cheapies ready for it! good luck! x

Me too @helbel42 and @hayleyfx !! I'm going to try and wait until AF but might live vicariously through you guys testing...

@helbel42 ooh that makes me really tempted to test next Wednesday with you... I need a POAS buddy lol

@italianwifey I was planning on that too but I have no self control lol!! Good luck, I hope we can all update with some BFP’s soon!

Thanks @helbel42.

I’m so confused today. Af still not arrived but have very light stomach cramps. Not constant though. They seem to come and go throughout the day. Having to go to the toilet quite frequently even although I’ve only had a glass of coke and cup of tea all day. Each time I go I’m expecting af but absolutely nothing! Sorry for tmi but when I wiped this morning there was a pinkish tinge but nothing since! Anyone had anything like this?

@boboelephant can you have an attack of the vapours on the table and sneak a blood test out of them!? dreaming for you x crampy this evening and back ache has ramped right up - remember the latter from last bfp, not so much the cramping (until mc was imminent) :/ will FRER in the am.

Happy birthday @bubblybrit, well done Mr Brit, birthday saviour!

@babybeany hope the week is treating you kindly, nearly saturday x

@xLauraa am I being stupid or does it depend on your area for ivf funding then? As per previous thread we don't qualify but just wondered. How comes you might have to go to Prague?

@PassTheAfterEights I seem to be fairly calm at the moment. I’m going to try and hold off testing until Tuesday. How are you holding up? Counting down the days like me?

I seem to have hardly any day time symptoms, but I am struggling with sleep and seem to wake up with heartburn and nausea, mild cramps in the early hours of the morning, around 4:30-5.

@LP17 - I have two other bambinas but I feel like I'm pregnant every cycle that I'm waiting to be! It just sends you a little loop de loop - it's perfectly normal (twitch)

@Hayley - I'm going to see if I can buy a test tommorrow and then bring it home and sit and think about it after work

Good luck ladies looking for stronger lines - keep the pics coming.

Good luck new testers! Anyone up tonight or tommo?

I bought 30 ovulation sticks and 15 pregnancy sticks from Amazon for like £8 so I am preg testing every morning! I know it's wrong..... due on next Saturday so it is far too early to test but it seems to release my anxiety in a weird way!

Haha @PassTheAfterEights- attack of the vapours...I am going in to get bloods on Sat but I don't think hcg would show up at 7dpo. Would it??? desperately wishing someone says yes ooh fingers crossed for you for tomorrow!!!
@Babybeany ooh sounds promising!!

I’m on the bus! Only about 4 days dpo. Been away on holiday this week so hopeful!

@Sammy900 ooh when are you going to use it? I’ve just ordered frer off eBay today so they won’t even arrive until I’m 8dpo so I’m not tempted beforehand lol! Got plenty IC’s too though but not even letting myself think about them haha!
@Lemonsnlime good luck! Lots of us in the TWW atm so you’re not alone lol! Hopefully we stay sane

@Owlpatrol it was @LookingAtTheStars89 that was on about Prague 😊
But yeah different areas offer different funding. That's the case round here anyway. All to do with different CCGs

How did you get on with the GP? Sorry if you e already said

Happy birthday@bubblybrit! I'm hoping your pinky loo roll turns into something good. I had pink tinge one month and got all excited and then flo showed up at bed time I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you x

@xLauraa. I already have a child so I wouldn't get funding. I've looked into having it done in Prague, we'd need IVF with ICSI because of DH's sperm. It's basically where they inject the sperm into the egg.

I'm hoping that it isn't going to be long and drawn out for you, I've heard that count is one thing that can be improved, maybe they will suggest something for him?

I'm sorry you are going through this when you are so young. I'm 29 and it feels like a kick in the teeth lol.
