April Bus

[Posharmchairs]

Never started a bus before.
I’m out for March as just got af and have long cycles.

Will be hoping for a bfp mid April.

Anyone want to hop aboard?

I’m ttc#2 cycle#4

Ds turning 2 this month so hoping to give him a sibling for Christmas 😁

@fertility1 they are wondfo brand, read a lot of good reviews on them and so far are looking like they are about more sensitive.
@Juno231 yeah I did a hcg at the same time which is negative, I already had a huge surge around on CD 17, so got no clue. Recently just started BBT, so think I might call it quits this month and try again next month.

Cd24 and not a peep, just have massive boobs, fingers crossed for a week or so...

@Glow1234 - I'd advise, if you have zero clue about your ovulation date, use the Tesco Ovulation tests! :-)

They're about £9-11 for a pack of 10 or 11 I think, so you can buy 3 and test every day.

Remember your LG Surge comes about 24-36 hours prior to ovulation.

I've been on contraception for 13 years - Implant, POP and Combined
Had a Cone biopsy May 2019 after CIN3 Cells at Smear and Stage 0-1 cancer cells by colposcopy. 2 home managed post-op infections and 1 hospital admission for a post-op infection (which caused an unknown miscarriage - found out after it happened - as the strong antibiotics voided POP pill)

Spoke to my GP in Feb and he said "it won't be easy or simple/you cannot plan" - he spoke about hormones to encourage ovulation if it wasn't regular due to op and change of contraception - Stopped POP on 15th Feb. Didn't ovulate in Feb. Ovulated 1st April. Now BFP at 4+6 weeks :-)

@Juno231 - How are you getting on? Anymore? Keep me posted. You helped me a lot :)

@Glow1234 I second the OPK strips - I get 50 of them for £9.99 on amazon and track them with an app to save me trying to interpret them myself. Otherwise it'll be a pure guessing game for you!

@SWAttempting that's really sweet of you - I'm glad not all the stuff I tell people is pure gibberish! AF showed her ugly face today and I've been really down about it tbh. I expected her to but that glimmer of hope still hurts to extinguish! I think it's made worse by this being my last shot at a 2020 baby - 2021 feels so far away somehow. With each passing cycle I also get more and more worried about it potentially taking so long that I'll enter perimenopause in the meantime! Silly but my brain likes to focus on the what ifs I'm afraid. How are you holding up? Where are you in your current cycle again?

@Juno231 Oh man :'( Remember to allow yourself to be sad and it's okay. It's okay to not be okay and that is okay in itself. Especially at these crazy times.

2021 is not that far away. Remember when you do get your BFP and you WILL - you will only have 8 months to go!

Have you tired the conception vitamins? You're the guru at this so I'm sure you have but some people swear by them and we used them!

We are now 4+6 (5 weeks tomorrow!) Was seen at EPU 4 days ago and had a scan and bloods. HCG is 113 and scan is as it should be. My left tummy pain is due to the corpus luteum, the “cyst of pregnancy. It produces the hormone Progesterone and all pregnancies are dependent upon progesterone for the first 10-12 weeks of gestation. My bloods said my Progesterone was 40.5 (which is a very decent amount (10 to 44 ng/mL during the first trimester of pregnancy)

Follow up scan on the 27th and then May 6th... 12 week scan booked for June 8th!

Still feeling sick ,nipples big and hurting but going to hold off testing incase my body is tricking me in lockdown xxx

Same here @hoping, just fingers crossed
Sorry to hear @juno, not a lot of difference late December 2020 and January 2021, I am dressing a Xmas week baby,... but I'll take anything at this point
Good news @swat👣

Dreading, I wish I was dressing a baby in Xmas🤦

@SWAttempting woop that all sounds super exciting and perfect! So glad it's all looking good for your wriggly bean. I'm taking the vits and all that, I'm sure I just need more time :) Today is def a sad day though.

@Franklydear thank you - I was dreading one too but was happy to take it over nothing! Jan 2021 is only far away from a mental point of view, as I was hoping it would happen this year. A May conception would mean a Jan due date of my birthday though - I might dread that a bit more 😂

@juno I had a past cycle where due date would be around maybe even DH birthday, I am sure he sabotaged it... 😱😁

@Franklydear are you feeling sick to i was sick other day brushing my teeth xxx

@hoping I am feeling sick, also cannot face the thought of food most of the time, sore giant boobs, and no cramps but a pulling sensation, not constantly
I am hoping but also thinking I am going to wake up tomorrow to af... Don't want to test yet, rather find af than a bfn

@Franklydear when are you due xxx

Between today and Tuesday, I think, I came off the pill in November and haven’t got regular periods yet, I will TRY to keep of testing until next Saturday, that would be cd31, so longer than any cycle

When are you @Hoping1?

I am due Wednesday been trying 3 years we were doing IVF first round everything was ready then covid 19 hit. So back trying naturally . Fingers crossed for you all xxx

Very odd, my temp has gone up by half a degree today, not feverish, but higher than usual

@Juno231 sorry to hear AF arrived fingers crossed for the next cycle and 2021 really isn’t too far away.

@SWAttempting congratulations on your BFP.

@Franklydear and @Hoping1 will keep my fingers crossed you both get your BFPs.

Cd35 now. No AF. BFN on a FRER. Don't know what is going on. Wish af would hurry up and show her ugly face now as clearly not pregnant.

@Fertility1 I’m CD45 and no AF either haven’t tested in over 10 days but got a BFN a few days after AF was late. Not sure what’s going on here either.

@florence13 wow. I really hope my af shows her face now as I'm getting even more stressed thinking what's wrong. Ah this baby making is so so stressful. Are you ttc #1? Are you going to test again soon as it has been 10 days? Any symptoms? xx

@Fertility1 yes it is super stressful!! Yes trying to for #1. I almost feel to scared to test now to be honest, I have sore boobs and have been suffering with bloating for the last week but don’t know if it’s all in my head.

@florence13 fingers crossed for you xx

@Fertility1 thank you. Fingers crossed for you to!! Are you trying for #1? How long have you been trying?
