APRIL BUS ♡

[Nattx]

Thought I'd start the April bus off since this is my first cycle since OD and April is my birth month so I'm praying for the best birthday present ever, our little miracle! 🙏🎁👶

I'm 24
TTC #1
CD 4
Cycle 1 (since ovarian drilling)
AF/BFP due 16th April

@Eliza9919 I completely understand. I'm trying to do the same.

@Danimarie Our original plan was to just see how it goes rather than actually trying, but my control freak side does not allow that sort of action. We started pretty relaxed, now after only the 4th cycle, I'm obsessed haha. I know it'll happen when it does, but I think it's a natural thing to be impatient with something so big. It doesn't help hearing all the pregnancy announcements around you and my best friend had a little girl in September who makes me extra broody!

@ELJ1502 I am exactly the same! I said I would just "see what happens" but I like to plan and I am also a self confessed control freak. Ha! I doubt my job as a PA helps! We have only been casually trying since January so very early days but I got really stressed as a work colleague announced her pregnancy recently and it only took one cycle (also happened to two other friends!) so I was slightly panicking for a while. How lovely your best friend had a little girl - my best friend had a little girl in December too, so cute! You are so right - it is only natural to feel impatient with something so big! How are you feeling today?

@ELJ1502 @Danimarie

Here here! We just got married and as this will be No 2, I said I wouldn't be how I was conceiving her but here I am trawling the threads each day, testing on OPK - just got a high fertility smiley this morning so going to jump on hubby later

It's just frustrating as soon as you set your mind to wanting to get pregnant, you want it there and then but I know it won't happen overnight, we were extremely lucky DD 1 only took 5 months. I'm now nearly 32 and overweight I know our chances are lower and it's likely to take longer. Sadly I'm an emotional eater so as much as I want to kick myself up the bum to be healthier for a little one, the stress of it is making me eat rubbish!

I've been going by Flo but as OPK has now shown I appear to not even enter my fertile window until a day after they'd been telling me I'd ovulated

Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

That’s a good sign @ELJ1502
The day I got my bfp at 9dpo I noticed the tiniest bit of blood - unfortunately that pregnancy ended in an early miscarriage.
Fingers crossed for you!! 🤞

Hi ladies.
My names penny I am 40 years old. Ttc and we are on second month of trying. I had a sterilisation reversal in January as my partner has no children and we would love one together 💕my kids are now 24 22 21 18. I am due on today 😳 hoping it doesn't come but feel like it's gonna. I did a test this morning anyway as couldn't wait and it's neg 😩 x

@Danimarie Tell me about it, I'm a teacher so plan everything to the nth degree. I'm okay, trying to keep busy instead of analysing every twinge.

@Dlah My Flo app did the same. It said I had been in my fertile period and then I got a positive OPK a day later. I then ran out of tests, so I'm not actually 100% sure when I did. I'm just using the one day as an approximate.

@SqigglyOne thank you 🙂

Hi @Penny78 welcome to a feed of supportive symptom spotters 😂

Lol thank u 😂

Hi ladies, thinking about testing tomorrow at 7DPO. I'd have to drive tonight to buy tests...talk me down!

@AlwaysOptimistic2 Don't do it, it's too early.

@Eliza9919 Thanks!! You're right. Just feel sooo exhausted the last two days like I was last time I was pregnant. My boobs are swollen and I felt really spacey this afternoon. I'll wait...

Ooo fingers crossed for you ladies. Hold on a few more days!

What apps are you all using? Which 'flo' app? I use ovia but may explore others

@AlwaysOptimistic2 even if you are pregnant the test will probably be negative, what’s the point of giving yourself the heartache of a bfn unnecessarily xx

I'm 15dpo which puts me at a day late and still BFN. I've pretty much given up, I've been horribly ill all week and this feels like the last straw. Drowning my sorrows in a large glass of white.

@SquigglyOne thanks, you're definitely right

@Queenofmyownheart sounds the same as me on the last cycle. Enjoy the wine and have maybe find a good tv show to binge on and take your mind off it? Easier said than done...

Jinxed myself, no pounding on my hubby, he's not feeling well so no DTD, looks like we'll be missing the April bus

8dpo today and I had that little stabbing pain this morning before I got up. It didn't last long again though. Boobs still sore and 'firmer'. I've had a bit of a bad stomach but I have been eating some a lot of rubbish which could be why. Also not sleeping, I was awake past 1am and properly awake by 6.

@Eliza9919 I'm feeling similar to you this morning, glad i'm not the only one feeling abit rubbish & tired, i'm 7/8dpo today. Hope your day picks up and you feel better

@Rubberyduck I use Glow & Ovia, my cycles are all over and they both give me a few days difference for ovulation, don't know how but just make sure I cover all bases during ovulation haha

Saw this on another TWW thread so copied & pasted the link; it made me laugh & think this is definitely me, feel like this post is following my TWW...

@LemonyLimey That is spot on.

So ladies I posted yesterday was due on and it didn't come. Still no period today but still bfn. So confused 😳

😂😂 This is soooo me

@Penny78 Try again tomorrow. Some people don't get a bfp until a few days after af is due.

I'm now 2 days late, bfn on digi this morning 🤷🏼‍♀️ no idea what's happening at this point

Thanks Eliza it's driving me mad. Done another this morning still bfn. Queenofmyownheart we are in exactly the same position 😳. Sorry don't know how to tag people lol x

Update.... Af just arrived 😭
