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

@Sammy900 I think I'm losing it now at 10 DPO. Had a bit of pinky/red before when I wiped. Now gone. Trying not to read too much into it as I wear a sports bra to bed for the fourth night in a row. If my boobs being this sore is a new thing my body is doing without being pregnant I'd like to cancel my membership to having hormones please Grin

@LP17 That sounds really promising! I’ve never been so jealous! When did you say your AF due date is? Are you going to take a FRER? X

LP17 · 12/04/2018 22:33

@babyBeany AF due on Wednesday. Have got 1x FRER and 2x CB left from the original stash, my husband had to take them and is keeping them in his boot to try and reduce the temptation to POAS! I'm going to try very, very hard to wait to miss AF (Or at least, Wednesday AM) before testing. Just feel like BFNs are very bad for the soul. You're due AF a similar date aren't you??? X

helbel42 · 12/04/2018 22:58

@hayleyfx and @italianwifey feel free to join me for an ever so slightly early poas on weds! Cheapies only for me until Saturday when I'll treat myself to an frer! X

hayleyfx · 12/04/2018 23:00

@helbel42 I will do! I’ve decided to give in and test on Wednesday, I literally can’t wait any longer than that haha! Fingers crossed for Wednesday!! X

helbel42 · 12/04/2018 23:05

@hayleyfx fingers crossed! x

Babybeany · 12/04/2018 23:09

@LP17 yes, due on Tuesday. I haven’t got any FRERs so I’m going to try and wait it out. Plus I can’t stand the bfn and then trying to convince myself that there is still hope. Let me know how you get on though! I seem to be living vicariously through the April bus! X

Sammy900 · 13/04/2018 06:59

@LP17 - your symptoms sound promising!

@hayleyfx - I'm due af on Monday so I tihnk if I can get hold of a couple of tests today - I'll do one tonight after my o/h has gone to bed (he doesn't know about all this) and then another tommo morning - and sit and wait - still feel like I'm expecting af any minute

Looking forward to some test pics this morning eek!

hayleyfx · 13/04/2018 07:12

@Sammy900 oh good luck!! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it’s a BFP ☺️🤞

Sammy900 · 13/04/2018 07:13

I'm going to buy pregnancy tests and a bottle of wine from the shop at the same time!!

Haha

Sammy900 · 13/04/2018 07:14

I don't finish work until 8pm - so will be back on here later this eve :)

italianwifey · 13/04/2018 07:46

@helbel42 maybe I will haha! Although fertility friend just changed my ovulation day to a day later....so frustrating haha. I'm not holding out much hope this month as we didn't get to DTD as much as i would have liked Cos I was away! Roll on next week though! Good luck to anyone testing today x

purpleRH · 13/04/2018 07:48

Sammy900 great plan on wine and tests!

clairehr · 13/04/2018 08:16

Sounding positive @LP17! I woke u9 today feeling positive because my boobs were sore... then realised that I'd done a whole load of press ups yesterday 😂 crazy ttc'er right here!

LP17 · 13/04/2018 08:18

@Sammy900 FX for you...great plan to buy wine and tests!!

@BabyBeany it's funny rooting for loads of strangers to have tons of sex and get pregnant isn't it!! I'm worried I'm going to cave in and end up testing too early...avoiding a BFN. It's amazing what all the reading and research can do to your brain I'm convincing myself this is all in my head. Should soften the blow if I don't get a BFP when eventually POAS. Fx for you anyway...keep us updated! Think there's quite a few people on here due to test early next week.

LP17 · 13/04/2018 08:23

@clairehr That's basically me haha. The obsessesion is real! I havent been very well this week - full of cold and massive ulcer in my throat, so only went back to the gym yesterday but just did a bit of cardio. I now want to avoid everything else so I don't have anything to confuse myself with 🤦 last month I had so many 'symptoms' I wrote them all down in my planner on this week & next week's pages to try and remind myself how I felt and ended with a BFN....just to avoid getting hopes up! I've also planned a very busy Monday and Tuesday of work next week to make myself hold out until Wednesday AM at least before POAS...

bubblybrit · 13/04/2018 08:26

@LookingAtTheStars89. That’s kinda what happened with me.....although af showed up this morning. At least I know one way or another as yesterday I was in limbo!! Xx

Babybeany · 13/04/2018 08:39

@bubblybrit sorry AF arrived. Fx for this cycle for you.

@PassTheAfterEights how are you feeling today? Are you going to test tomorrow?

@LP17 I am addicted to reading other people’s stories! I find it so much easier to share tmi with everyone on here too. 😉

Fx for anyone testing today xx

helbel42 · 13/04/2018 08:42

Good luck @Sammy900 x

helbel42 · 13/04/2018 08:45

@italianwifey natural cycles has just done exactly the same to my when I put my temp in the morning! How annoying. I think all our BD was too bloody early, got a couple of later ones in but most was around a predicted earlier ovulation x

helbel42 · 13/04/2018 08:50

Ah, sorry to hear af came @bubblybrit, likely see you on the may bus, I have high hopes for that one as I'll be relaxed on my hols during fertile week. My brain has written off April already, my ov bounced around everywhere and only symptom I have to spot is slightly sore boobs which isn't unusual! x

LP17 · 13/04/2018 08:54

@BabyBeany oh me too! Haven't really told anyone IRL we are TTC - MIL & SILs have been obsessed with us having a baby for a few years & often dropped hints or outright asked "when are you having a baby". FIL even mentioned it in his 'surprise' wedding speech Hmm I have two friends who are both pregnant that are aware we are having a go but I'd never talk to them about CM or what comes out when I wipe after going to the toilet Blush Grin

@bubblybrit sorry about AF! Fx for this cycle x

LookingAtTheStars89 · 13/04/2018 10:12

@bubblybrit. I'm sorry to hear that. The time it happened to me was the only time I had ever had spotting. I'm cd 15 now, so still at least another two weeks to go lol x

Boboelephant · 13/04/2018 10:37

@bubblybrit sorry af got you! Fingers crossed for next month.
Good luck to everyone testing this weekend and Wednesday. I'm really trying to hold out to Thursday as bfn's are so soul destroying and I then obsess that it's just too early and drive myself a bit crazy!! But we'll see if I manage to wait as I usually don't! 🤦‍♀️

Moxska · 13/04/2018 10:40

Thought I would join!
I suffer with PCOS so my dates could be way off. Am trying to go in thinking any month we dont conceive is another cycle for to track to really understand my cycles

Age: 26
Cycle: #1
CD: 12

Downloaded the app Glow and its saying day 14 and 15 are the days to DTD.

Really looking forward to this journey and the additional help it will give me in understanding my PCOS and the affect on my cycle :)
