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 ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

Oops it’s nice to have a place you can talk about it all

Frer still the same today so so sooo faint it’s almost undetectable 😞 think I’m joining april too no af but lines are not getting stronger so I’m calling chemical huff huff best go get sanitary products in the food shop . I say joining april but he did say he was probably done now he’s 41 nearly and wants to be young enough to enjoy life so maybe that’s the end for me 🤷‍♀️

@Willow1982 I'm due AF the same date. Feels like ages since my FW so I feel your pain!!

@MangoLipstick I'm still bf my 2 year old. I am really at a low point with it and wish he would stop.

I've had a really hard week this week. I have PTSD from having my son and a stay in nicu, seem to have had a bit of a relapse and not been coping all that well!! I had tried to go back to work and so many people asking about when baby no 2 was, or I thought you were pregnant questions!!!

@Purple29 why do people say this 😫 not cool!

@Purple29
I’m sorry to hear about your PTSD. I won’t pretend I know how you feel, but my younger sister had PTSD & my close friend has it after a traumatic labour & birth 2 years ago. It affects more women then I think people realise.

Do you feel you have been well supported?

Why do people think it’s ok to say things like? I’ve also had ‘when are you having another one?’ ‘Your dc can’t be an only child’ and ‘I thought you would have had another one by now’

Do you feel unable to stop bf? It’s a hard decision isn’t it, but I hope you don’t feel bad or guilty if you decide to. To get this far is incredible & it’s ok to want your boobs back to yourself again or just want to stop because you don’t want to do it anymore.

@MangoLipstick thanks, it is hard to describe how it feels. But your right it is so much more common than we think. My health visitor was amazing and my gp has also been good. But there's not enough support available for women post partum.

I have no idea why people think its ok to ask such personal questions when they have no idea of people's circumstances.

I am reluctant to make him stop, hes a fussy eater and I know how good it is for him. Breastmilk is amazing stuff!! I am very proud of how far I've managed. It's been an incredibly hard but rewarding journey. But I do want my body back now. So conflicting.

How is everyone? Happy weekend to you all ☺️

I honestly don't know what to think this cycle, we've hardly dtd. So I'm not hopeful 😩 but in comparison to last cycle I've completely taken the pressure off/not thought about it half as much as I did in Feb.

According to the app I'm in my fertile window too but I'm not using opks or bbt testing so I suppose it's a wait to see if my period arrives in April and in the meantime try and keep dtd.

Hi all been a bit distant. Hope I haven't missed any BFPs! I'm on CD 18 now and absolutely no sign of ovulation yet. Really hope I get a peak over the next few days whilst I'm off work! My OPKs seem to get darker and then go low again 🥱

This is torture 🥺 it’s darker than yesterday but still a bit faint what’s going on

Good luck @allthingssparkly 🥰

@RSmamaa are they normally like this every month? It looks like your trying to ovulate but you havnt yet unless you are ovulating twice 🤷‍♀️ Which happens . Cd 14 was close I wonder if missed the peak as the window for it is so small . Then a resurge hmm 🤔

Thank you @Hopefulprincess 🥰

Hi guys... hope everyone's doing ok.
Jumping on from the march thread. AF finally showed
Cd1 here we go. Irregular cycles so over on CD60 last cycle Let's see how long ovulation takes this time round.

@Hopefulprincess my cycles are quite long. Last two were 36 and 37 days so I would have ovulated day 25-27 those cycles 😭😭 another week to go here if that's the case!

@2019Mama are they irregular for a reason or is it normal for you? X

@RSmamaa I've always had irregular periods never really got a proper answer from anyone although I was told it looks like I could have pcos but it was never confirmed or anything 🤷🏻‍♀️
It makes it so hard to track anything as some times I can go 4-6 months without a period

@2019Mama how annoying when TTC!

I'm CD5 now and feeling calm; although I know I'll start to obsess again during the TWW.

I do feel lucky I currently have a regular cycle and that it's usually 26 or 27 days so I don't have a huge wait.

When I was waiting for my cycles to start again after DS, they were long and irregular and it was so frustrating, so I feel PPs' pain on this one.

It adds a whole new dimension when you have to wait longer for AF to show

Hi ladies,
just joining the thread after MC. I’m still getting very very faint positives ie the HCG isn’t quite out of my system but hoping it’ll be soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻. Haven’t read the thread yet and always find it very hard to keep up as they always move so quickly but just wanted to say hello xx

@DancinOnTheCeiling so sorry for your loss. Hope this is your cycle x

@DancinOnTheCeling so sorry for your loss.

I'm CD22, so I'm guessing 9dpo, I don't use opks so just go with my cycle. I just found I had quite watery CM and a slight pink tinge when I wiped?! 🤞 this is good signs.

Iv got awful cramps and blood in cm 🥺😢 actually crying now Iv just seen it went and brought more tests today aswell

@Purple29

I’m glad you had good support. It’s so important. My friend had to have CBT before she started to feel more herself.

You are right, Bf is wonderful and the benefits are marvellous but if it is making you start to feel fed up, you need to think of yourself too.
I understand it won’t be as easy in practice if dc will only eat certain things.

I would like to try & drop the night time feed soon - I think she could sleep without it as she kind of uses my boobs like a dummy, then she will roll over and go to sleep on her own after about 5 minutes. She will wake up a couple of times in the night and sometimes needs my boobs to help help get back to sleep (we co sleep most of the night)
It’s not a problem as we generally all sleep well but I’m thinking if I was to fall pregnant again, then it will be more difficult, we will all be waking one another up!

@DancinOnTheCeiling
I’m sorry about your loss❤️

I know what you mean, I often lose track on these threads as they can move quickly!

@Hopefulprincess
I’m really sorry, is there anyone with you?
X

@Willow1982 I think we are pretty much at similar points in our cycle!

Please don't feel deflated lord of people get positives after not having a single symptom.

❤️

@DancinOnTheCeiling sorry to hear , good luck for the future ttc journey 💗
