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 ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

@Catred4 no I haven't tested. Not sure I can face the negative staring back at me. It's just very odd for me.

@Purple29 I hope you get an answer one day or the other soon xx

@Purple29 way*

@Cecelia90 don't blame you I am a POAS addict 😆

Have I dtd enough do you think? I feel like because we didn't do it yesterday we've missed it 😩 OH was working until late

Hi everyone, I was on the march group and had a break from testing as I kept getting BFN even after my period was late.

I have just tested again as my period should have been on 19th and I got a BFP!!! Feeling overwhelmed and trying to think of ways to tell DH this evening. Wishing you all the best and hopefully April is your month x

@Brideandprejudice congratulations! Let us know how you tell him 🥳

Congratulations @brideandprejudice Just goes to show you're really not out until AF shows. What a lovely surprise!

@Brideandprejudice fabulous news! Congratulations 🎉

Congratulations @Brideandprejudice 🥳

CD19 here, not sure how many dpo because I honestly don't know if I ov'd this month. No EWCM, no ov pains, nada. Only AI/DTD on CD10, 13 & 15 due to DP getting his covid booster and being wiped out. Ovia suggests 10 days til testing but I might just wait it out this month. If it's anything like last month AF will turn up early 🤦‍♀️

Congrats @Brideandprejudice!!!🎉🎉

Hey @Catred4, thanks 😊 Am really hoping this is the month for a BFP. When do you think you'll POAS? I'm trying not to be crazy like last month when I started POAS at 4dpo knowing it would be BFN!

@RSmamaa it looks like you have the most important days covered 😊. A mishmash of stuff read from here and elsewhere says to DTD just before FW and then leave 2-4 days before DTD again and try to catch the 48 hours before ovulation. 🤞and ✨ 😊

What do you all think about going to a spa during TWW? Going away this weekend and am wondering whether to skip the jacuzzi and sauna???

Has anyone ever had implantation bleeding? So weird. Had a teeny bit of spotting on Mon, it was a bit heavier tues, but not like period and it was dark red. Then nothing yesterday?! All of this and my period wasn't due till tomorrow?! Too scared to test. Feel like it's just wishful thinking but it's all a bit odd!!

@Purple29 that does sound a bit odd! I’ve never had implantation bleeding myself but that is really unusual…..fingers crossed if you do decide to test 🤞

@Purple29 I've not had it before but I just googled and most sites are saying it happens between 7 and 14 days after conception so certainly still fits in that time frame! Fingers crossed for you x

Thank you all! Told DH last night and he was over the moon. I'm still in shock and don't even know what to do next!

@LuckyWithMyLot you are so right! I had counted myself out and was just waiting for AF to arrive late.

@Loopz66 no we are not alone 💪🏻!!

Ooo how did that go? Was it painful? Ive had an ultrasound and my bloods done, I'm on cycle 6 so I was only able to have them done as I was getting some pelvic pain. All seems ok thankfully!!! I've pushed for more tests as I'm so anxious about it all so hubby is getting SA at the end of this month and I've just had swabs but that's all they can do until we get to the year marker but hopefully we won't need anything further 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Af is meant to be coming tomorrow but I've already had some spotting:( The nurse who did my swab yesterday said that can cause some spotting though so I'm hoping it's just that or ....implantation haha. Here's to hoping!

How are you feeling on this fresh cycle? 💕

@Brunette1989 I've been the exact same. It's so difficult isn't. I've just tried my best to be positive all month and tried to change my mind set but it's not easy. This whole journey is exhausting.

What tablets did they put you on if you don't mind me asking? My doctor wouldn't as she said it could affect my cycle and just referred me for counselling but there's a 4-6 month wait so... 🤷🏼‍♀️

All the best for this cycle x

@Loopz66 I think from reading comments we're in a similar position (sorry if I've got confused). I'm 32, 33 in April TTC our first so it's very scary with it taking so long and not knowing if there's more to it really, hard not to get stressed about it.

@Mariabombia when I spoke to the doctor she put me on sertraline (think that's how you spell it) as she said that was what she would be comfortable putting pregnant women on if they were struggling so therefore would be happy putting me TTC on them. It has helped me settle alot more, I'm still anxious about it all but I was at the stage I was crying all the time and not able to focus so it has definitely helped. I've done counselling years ago and it can help but as you say the long wait isn't the best scenario. I'm hoping I get the results from my scans the next couple of days so I can start to feel I'm getting somewhere.

I should be coming up to my FW soon and trying not to think about it but it's impossible, everyone tells me to relax and I'm just like how do people do it ha ha.

Xxxx

@Brideandprejudice huge congratulations 🎉 👏 Fantastic news ❤️

@Brunette1989 omg I’m also 33 in April 🤣🥳 sounds like our situations are very very similar! Yeh it is really hard not knowing when it’s your 1st your trying for, but let’s try and stay positive 🙌❤️ I think the obsessing hasn’t helped I’m really trying to relax a bit more because i really sucked the fun out of it for awhile last year

@Mariabombia I’ve not had the tubes test just yet due around May so I’ll let you know how it is ☺️ Hoping it’s not too painful 🙈 my other half is waiting on his results had the SA last week
I know hopefully you won’t need to get the rest of the tests 🥰 the swabbing can definitely cause spotting so I wouldn’t rule this month out just yet 🤞❤️ I was gutted yesterday when AF arrived but I was also really crampy and exhausted, now that I’m on CD2 I’m feeling ready take on this month 💪 keep us posted about this month 🙏

Congrats to all the BFPs! I feel sick, everything smells and tastes weird, I'm dizzy and tired. Exactly like my last 2 pregnancies. However I've had some brown spotting which tells me AF is on her way. And I've done a few cheapie tests which have been negative. So I reckon my symptoms are down to having recently had Covid or I'm getting ill again!

How is everyone getting on? CD15 for me today and officially entering the TWW 😬

@Loopz66 and @Mariabombia

32 here as well and 33 in may

TTC no 1 for the last year

Also lost my mind last year stressing so taking a relaxed approach

I've had all the tests had the HSG one last month I think everyones experience is quite different

Cd7 for me so a way out how about you guys?

@kizzy97 here for you this month as well

Xx

@BigAlice

How is everyone getting on? CD15 for me today and officially entering the TWW 😬

CD17, 4dpo - time is just dragging! Af due next Friday! Fingers crossed for BFPs in April! Would be the best Christmas present!

@Kitty901 we are almost on the same cycle then, this TWW is going to drag!!!

I took a test just in case and BFN. Must just be my cycles settling after ectopic. I've bought opks just to see if things are back on track. Started floradix and going for more acupuncture.
