Hoping For a BFP in April

[FreckledMouse]

Making a new thread from the March group ♥️

I'm on CD 1, Cycle 11 of TTC our first 👶🏼
Had a MC in February
Ectopic last July with right tube removal
I have endometriosis (and I suspect low progesterone)

Trying to stay positive and think fresh cycle, my body probably needed this after the MC and its a fresh start ✨

Baby dust ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

@Purple29 fingers crossed 🤞
@MangoLipstick no I’m on my own tonight! Typical 😞 really getting quite painful now whole stomach cramping and backache nothing on my underwear yet only when I check . Just put pjs on so atleast comfortable now. I googled ‘don’t do that’ and I’m a biker it says riding motorbikes can affect implantation Iv been riding a lot past few weeks well I don’t normally but I didn’t know this so now I’m thinking was it that 🤷‍♀️ The test from this am is really obvious now it’s dried 🥺

I do normally that was supposed to say ** regular rider

@MangoLipstick I had CBT and it was brilliant, however I think the new trauma of an ectopic and the fact I've not told my therapist about one of my triggers because of how it makes me feel has meant I have relapsed a bit.

I dont really tell anyone about this trigger. It makes me feel so awful!!!

@HopefulPrincess I'm so sorry your feeling like this. If the pain is really bad please do call someone to get seen ASAP!!! You have all of us to talk too x

Evening all, I dropped off the thread for a bit due to work stress and stuff - will have a read through to catch up.

CD15 (now 16 as it's post midnight) and only just got EWCM so it seems my regular 28 day cycle is now out the window for the third month in a row. Tempted to start OPKs next month to see what's going on.

My alternation plan went out the window pretty quickly as well. DP had his covid booster on Tuesday and it knocked him for 6. So far we have attempted 3 lots of AI and DTD on CD10, 13 and 15.

I don't have a very good feeling about this month 🙁 will probably try to get 1-2 more attempts in during this FW. Sending love to you all!

Welp CD4 and af finished up yesterday so lets see how this cycle goes

CD5 even 🤦‍♀️

CD19 today and 2nd day of EWCM!!! Wooop. OPK looked slightly darker this morning but still only scored 0.32 😒. I'm going to check it again next time I use the bathroom. Just want to ovulate so the next countdown can start 😬😬

@kizzy97 here with you CD4 onto another month for me too. Expecting to ovulate on cd17-19 ish xxx

So I woke with blood on pad I thought yep af helloooo still awful cramps! Iv been loo just now there’s 1 spot on the pad 🤨 I normally use tampons but wanted to check flow so now I’m not sure what’s going on normally in full flow by now surely can’t get implantation bleeding on 14/15dpo ? It’s there bright red when go loo. Can’t even ask anyone from work still on maternity doubt they’d be pleased 😂

How would you interpret this LH test? It's a different brand to what I'm using. Would you say it is negative or getting high?

I just took one with my normal brand. Showing up 0.44 now. I think I might miss the peak overnight!

Hi everyone, I’m just updating on here from the March group - I got my BFP! 🥰

It didn’t show up until 12dpo in the evening and I had been testing each day (because I’m mental haha) since 8dpo. Was faint on an Asda’s own brand but using the same sample, I got an unmistakable positive result on ClearBlue digi.

If it helps anyone for April’s TWW, my most obvious sign was strong unusual cramping at 5/6dpo (unusual for that time in my cycle but also unusual in that it was very consistent and persistent, low level cramping - not sharp like a period can be) followed by around 4 days of brown spotting with no sign of AF. I kept thinking I was out!

My temp was high but I felt so cold! Couldn’t sleep, needed lots of blankets, then when I finally got to slept I slept DEEP and hard for hours. Then exhausted again 7 hours later!

Breasts only really got tender and full and veiny just before taking the test at 12dpo. Prior to that - nothing out of the ordinary to note.

Cervix is not feeling unusually high or soft. HOWEVER (weird thing I’ve noticed) my vagina feels swollen and puffy inside.

I wish you all lots of love and luck! Baby dust ✨✨✨

@RSmamaa do you use an app to rate your OPKs? I'm looking at getting some next month if this cycle isn't successful and want to be as prepared as possible

Will be joining you hoping for BFP in April :) this will be our 6th cycle trying for our first baby 🤞🤞 last cycle I was testing obsessively, so I hope not to test too early this cycle (famous last words). I think I am on cd2, may be cd3 - I usually don't spot much prior to AF, but this time I was spotting a lot a day before my period started properly, so I am not sure what day to count as a first day.

Hey @Mrslight I've been lurking here. Cycle 5 ttc fior me. I'm on CD4 and bleeding is tailing off.

I said I wasn't going to try. But I can't switch it off.

Hope you all don't mind if I jump on this thread xx

Lots of luck to everyone ❤️

@Hopefulprincess how old is your LO? Mine turned 1 last week 😂

@TeddyBeans yes use premom x

@geologyrockss massive congratulations, exciting times ahead 🥰🥰🥰

@MrsGrealish are you trying for the first baby as well?

@Mrslight nooo number 4 🙈 am I on the wrong thread?

@RSmamaa do you use it on iPhone? I can't find it on Android store 😭

@MrsGrealish no you're on the right thread! I'm TTC baby 2

@TeddyBeans thanks 😊 ! I use the premom too but was considering clear blue ovulation this month. Seems a lot easier just using with fmu. But can't justify the expense.

@TeddyBeans yeah I use it ok ios! Maybe google it and see if it's on their website?

@RSmamaa apparently there was a data breach and Google play pulled it 😫 rubbish
