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 ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

Hey @chloelisa19 is that the control line?

hey! the control line is the one on the right and that thick pinky line is on the left x

Hey! I've had a few that have been like this before, unfortunately they have always ended up being negatives but I'm by no means saying it will be for you, sometimes it's just the way the ink sits when it's drying! Take another one and if still in doubt try another brand for peace of mind :) good luck! X

@chloelisa19 Gotcha! I see what you mean now. I'd be worried the ink dried in a weird way but, in your position, I would be running to buy a frer right now! Fingers crossed it means something good.

thank you! will buy a frer tomorrow after work as it’s Sunday 😀 Been trying for over a year now, had a MC last November from pregnancy of unknown location and dread the time is comes to test as it’s always negative ☹️ Baby dust to us all ✨

Sounds like were in a similar boat. I've been trying since summer and I had a mmc in November so I completely understand.

I've told myself I'm not testing this month as I spent almost £30 on tests last month. I was so sure I had felt implantation!

I'm only 7dpo now so let's see how long I can last...

@Peachygal27
And are your nipples usually sore before af? Because this is usually one of the first signs. I'm only like 5-6 dpo so want to hold back with testing until the end of the next week
@cloelisa19 Hi, I also had a few like this on one step cheapy unfortunately they were all negative. But ive seen so many women that it turned out to be positive for them so who knows. It's best to try the frer 😊

I completely get that! Tests are so expensive to keep on top of.. I get annoyed at myself if I test too early as it costs so much to keep doing the daily test to see if anything shows up. Definitely going to get a frer! But I didn’t get a positive on a test until I was 6 weeks, only showed on bloods, doctors were concerned so I had a internal exam and they couldn’t find anything, the pregnancy was developing else where. But days later I had a big bleed and knew it wasn’t my time 💔 But still going strong and waiting for my BFP🥰

@chloelisa19 Oh, I'm sorry. It's so shit.

Our time will come (and hopefully this cycle becomes I'm fed up of TTC!).

Me too! Its so hard when everyone around me is having babies without even trying but i’m so happy they are, just wish it was our turn! Wish you all the best lovely ❤️ x

Hi can I join?? Me and my partner are TTC our first together, my third! My last AF was 25th and lasted 2 days. I think I’ve ovulated couple days ago due to my CM etc and we’ve DTD almost every day for the last week or so. Now in the TWW which is so hard 😂

Hi Ladies, has anyone tried Angus Cactus? My cycles are quite short and so is my LP, i have read that it does help it and have ordered some however it just arrived and it is saying that it should not be used when trying to conceive so i am quite confused what to do now.

@MissBlue93 the TWW is so hard! baby dust to you and your partner ✨

@Kitty901 I’ve never used it but from what i’ve read and heard of it people use it to help conceive. I would go ahead and try as it can boost fertility if you struggle. Wishing you luck ✨

Hi, how is everyone doing with testing? Are you holding back to see if af arrives? Anyone bfp yet? 😊

Still nothing either way! Taken 2 early detection, 2 rapid results and one digital and all no! Ov stick picked up a faint line! Still feel crampy, mood swings everywhere but still different to my pms 🤷‍♀️ aunt flo due wendesday based on 28 days or Friday based on 30 which is what i was last month! Gonna try and hold out testing but out and about without DH tomorrow so likely some tests will fall into my possession 🙃 Just want to know either way now as sister in laws 30th meal tomorrow and a few drinks would go down a treat 😟 how are you doing?

@staceymarieox it still might be too early. Let me know how did it go with testing 😊 and if it's still negative at least you could have a drink.
I am 6-7 dpo today. We all at home have got a stomach bug so feeling awful. Cant really tell if I have any symptoms because of that. 🤷‍♀️

Is there an accurate way to know when you've ovulated if not using tests? I've had clear sticky CM for days now, since the 7th. So figured I'd ovulated a couple days later on the 9th, we DTD quite a few times over the last week, last night I struggled to sleep with stomach ache and cramping, I haven't checked my temp though so it's hard to track. My AF is due 23rd so it's saying I can test in 9 days, that's if I ovulated on the 9th! It reckons my fertile window is over but just surprised to go toilet this morning and still have some clear sticky CM. Not a lot though!

Hi all, checking in.

I had to skip my last cycle as I had an HSG so had to abstain due to the X ray.

I’m currently on CD5. We were going to use @Purple29’s method, but I had Covid a couple of weeks ago. After my three vaccinations my following month’s ovulation was earlier than normal so I am expecting ovulation to be early this month too. So we are simply going to start today and DTD every other day to make sure we catch it.

Fingers crossed!

I'm hoping it is a little early still, I'll always keep checking until AF arrives! Its really strange sometimes its exactly like AF is coming but it also feels different, sort of like a pressure or something, a little like trapped wind or a stich which I guess could be round ligament pain which I had a lot with DS but I'm not gonna get my hopes up! I am on a diet so the more veg could be causing the trapped wind 🤣 I will test today and if negative have one or two drinks and go from there! Still can't remember how many dpo I am I know it was after mothers day I ovulated as I tracked on my fitness watch I had as a gift! I'd maybe say the wednesday/Thursday after as a guess 🤷‍♀️ would put me at the 2 week point now!

So horrible about the sickness you all have! Absolutely hate a sick bug 🤢 a friend of ours his little girl has norovirus, I said to DH I would honestly rather us all have Covid than that, can't deal with the spew! Fingers crossed for you that you get better soon and be able to spot any symptoms!

@MissBlue93 you could maybe use an app if you know your cycle length or at least your last cycle etc, it won't be exact but may give you a window. I usually get some CM before AF arrives too, so I would just sit tight and see! But as you are still a fair way out I'm not sure! I read somewhere that your body can try and ovulate again if it fails in a cycle, don't know how true it is but I have had a month where I had my 'peak' then like a week or so before AF came I had another 🤷‍♀️ our bodies are so strange at times!

@staceymarieox
Yes exactly, it is so exhausting. My 18months old was vomiting all night 😔. Hopefully will get better soon.

Your symptoms sound promising 👍🏻. Let me know how did the test go. Fingers crossed for you 🤞😊

I feel like a crazy person I keep checking all of the calculators like when can I take pregnancy tests, when would implantation happen etc. 😀 with the first one I just took one test and that's it and now I'm testing like crazy each cycle 🤦‍♀️😀

Cant really wait to see the BFP 🙏🏻

@Decaffe Hi just had to go through the posts to see what the method is 😀 Anyway keep us updated 😊
Fingers crossed for you 🤞

@MissBlue93
Heya 😊 I've read that the best way to see when you ovulate is to track your temperature. Not working for me because I always forget 🤦‍♀️
My AF is around the 20th also.
Your CM could also be an early sign of the pregnancy. Maybe you have ovulated earlier then 9th. It's just so tricky isn't it 😀

How is eveyone getting on? Any more tests?

Hey @RSmamaa - my AF is due on Saturday, I’m going to try and wait until it’s late before testing!🤞

How are you getting on?

@BigAlice ahh good luck I'll keep everything crossed for you! I'm 4 weeks today and not feeling any symptoms yet. Sure it will kick in soon

@staceymarieox yeah it's so tricky I haven't tracked my temp at all, it's our first cycle trying so kinda just rolling with it as when I had my other 2 I never 'tried' we just kinda BD and it happened but this is a new partner and he's over thinking his fertility!

I've been so uncomfy the last few days and still today my stomach feels like it's in knots and just such a weight down there, so bloated! I'm hoping I already ovulated and that this could be early symptoms but it's hard not to over think! The wait to test is worse! With my AF due 23rd it's saying I can test 18th so 5 days early as I've got FRER tests that say they can detect 5 days before period. I've also got the cheapie strips! I think I'll get my partner to BD again today just incase it's a late ovulation, but hopefully we've done it enough.

I spoke to a fertility psychic who said she sees July for me, as either conception or for a scan appointment or baby's due date, which does kind of line up scan wise if I'm pregnant now, but I don't know what to believe 😂

I'm greedy to hope to get a BFP on first cycle I know 🤦🏻‍♀️

Just got back from shopping now and got a first response and clear blue early detection, both negative! I think unless AF hasn't arrived by Friday I'm gonna have to call it and say this isn't gonna be my month! But I'm gonna have a few drinks tonight and enjoy! Definitely feel different to normal but maybe my body is getting back to normal after my pill so I can just feel it do its thing more 🤷‍♀️

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! 🤞
