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

Morning ladies, I hope you don't mind if I hop aboard. We'll be TTC #2 from 10 April (according to the Ovia app!) so I still have another period to get out of the way before that! Question time - are people doing it every day or every other day when TTC? NHS says every other day...but other sources say every day? Any thoughts? Good luck to all in 2WW, sending sticky thoughts xx

Hi everyone can I join?

#TTC no 2
#Cycle 6
#Age 30

Joining the April bus, a very unusual march for me abnormal spotting and cramping. This has never happened before and has thrown my cycle off as it was 5 days early but I'm going to take that I have had AF as I'm not pregnant! Ovia predicting I will ovulate around 1st - 3rd April with Af due 15th.

Wishing everyone luck this month

I'm out for March as AF arrived today, so joining in.

BFP due 18/04

I had my implant removed at the end of Jan and my cycle seems to have settled down pretty quickly to a 24 day cycle.

Baby dust to all!

MrsY87 · 26/03/2018 11:34

Just checking in...on CD11 and got a flashing smiley on a CB digi opk this morning. Hoping not to get a peak til the weekend or at least Thursday as I know DH will be busy at work this week so we won't get much chance to DTD til the weekend! This is cycle 1 and I said I wasn't going to get obsessed but finding it so hard not to!!

Rach0110 · 26/03/2018 11:46

Hey everyone just jumping on hope it all get your BFP this month.
@lolacola13 apparently just in Tesco's, I'm also going to try that and SMEP next month!

lolacola13 · 26/03/2018 11:48

Excellent! I'll look this week when should I be drinking this sour concoction lol I'm cd 5

Rach0110 · 26/03/2018 11:51

@lolacola13 I'm no expert by all means! Haven't tried it yet myself but I think it improves CM so I guess prior to ovulation? Do correct me if I'm wrong though! I also heard pineapple after helps?!

xLeanne128 · 26/03/2018 12:18

Grapefruit juice is at Tescos and most supermarkets make sure it's not from concentrate I mix it with pure apple or other fruit juices (3/4 gf 1/4 other) just to help taste and then it's a nice drink. I drink a pint a day around fertile week and it defo helps with cm!! X

Cycle 4 (I think)

Came off the pill in December and started properly trying in January. It's my fertile week currently and I'm due to ovulate Thursday so we've had a busy weekend trying and will keep going until this weekend to cover all bases 😬 according to my app I should test 12th April so hopefully I'll have some good news then!

Good luck everyone

Pob13 · 26/03/2018 14:24

Just been told a close friend is pregnant. Unplanned as she is on the pill. It hit me hard. Feeling like life really isnt fair right now.

Rach0110 · 26/03/2018 14:44

@Pob13 sorry to hear that... doesn't mean it won't happen for you though, fingers crossed this is your cycle this month x

LP17 · 26/03/2018 15:01

@Rach @lolacola I got some from Sainsbury's (100% juice). I'm CD6 so going to start drinking it this afternoon to help with CM.

Just popping on to join the April bus.

28
TTC: #1
Cycle: #1
CD 2
AF due: 25/04

We were going to wait to TTC until we'd mortgaged up, but after a hope this month (40 day cycle but using protection) and a feeling massive disappointment after a BFN, we decided to start trying now rather than wait (i've been crazy broody since we got married in October but was trying to be 'sensible').

I'm not massively holding out hope that I'll get a BFP quickly, my BMI is on the high side and DH has a condition that might make things difficult but fingers crossed!

Taking the seven seas pre conception vits and have started swimming 3-4 times per week to help shift a bit of weight. Will wait for a couple of cycles before I crack out the OPKs

Can I join you too please?!

Weird one this month - positive opk on cd 16 and then a bit of spotting this morning which I’ve never seen before. Already feeling like af is imminent - I don’t think I’ve ever been so bloated and irritable in my life. Even my knees look fat!!! All stacking up to look like it’s on to cycle 9 I think... Sad

lolacola13 · 26/03/2018 16:40

Aloha everyone new that joined there. Ivjust jumped on the grapefruit juice train . Good lord it's tart . Every little helps suppose ! What do u guys recommended for fertility lube some are crazy expensive .

Pob13 · 26/03/2018 19:16

Can someone explain pre seed to me and should i be using it?

HidCat · 26/03/2018 19:54

Good luck @Peekaboo81. Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you that this is the one.

clairehr · 26/03/2018 20:06

waves Hi to all recent passengers.

@Pob Pre seed is basically a sperm friendly lubricant, it mimics fertile CM (correct pH and all that jazz) Haven't used it myself yet, but have only heard great things about it. Boots I believe stock it!

Currently watching Tom Hardy cuddle dogs - think my ovaries are about to explode. FW starts tomorrow - woop!

lolacola13 · 26/03/2018 20:12

@clairehr jealous! I'm cd 5 and fertile window still a week away...I ovulate day 18-20. I am dying with impatience xxxx

2018isanewyear · 26/03/2018 20:18

Can i join please.....

Age: 29
TTC:1
Cycle: 1 after MC at 10+2,

We were lucky enough to conceive quickly first time round. We have decided we want to try again right away, got my negative pregnancy test this weekend so unsure if I should wait for AF before we try just due to dates get and me testing every day 10 days from now if not 😂

I'm quite anxious to go through this again (I was bad enough before) so going to need some help staying saneish

clairehr · 26/03/2018 20:18

@lolacola13 Just keep practising ;) passes the time quite well I've found, haha! The waiting is torture though huh? AF was late last time and it tore me up waiting for her to visit! We're going away this weekend and I should ovulate Sunday. Would be romantic to conceive in the place we met, my energy is going into that 😊

clairehr · 26/03/2018 20:21

@2018isanewyear Welcome! Love the name by the way! I have had 2 MCs and the first made us realise just how much we wanted it, but jas also made us paranoid with symptom spotting and POAS, so I know how you're feeling. Everyone here super supportive so hopefully we can all keep you sane.... ish

2018isanewyear · 26/03/2018 20:27

Thankyou @clairehr! I was on a bus last time and helped so much : )

Good luck all!!!
