TTC April 2024…Christmas Babies! ❤️✨

[RW269]

Thought I’d make a new thread for those of us Ttc in April 2024. I know some of us will cross over from end of March to April ! Wishing everyone all the luck ✨❤️

@Bb542 yeah cd 5 here 😊 but irregular periods so anyone's guess when ovulation will be.

Oh so sorry to hear if your loss that must make the already stressful TTC that bit more stressful. Fingers crossed for some Christmas babies for us all 🥰

I haven't tried flo as using the premom I just used their app.
I have been dizzy randomly 3 times today and thenlast 2 days the texture of meat and the sight of it is making me actually throw up which is odd as I love meat usually. Having a bit of a craving for yogurt which is strange aswell because I'm not usually a fan. Have you had anything weird yet like that?

How many cycles have you been using OPKs? I have only used OPKs for two cycles but I usually have 27-28 day cycles. First cycle I tracked I had my peak on CD13 and period two weeks later. So I was like, ok great I assume that I will always ovulate CD13 or CD14 as I always have 27-28 days etc.

Last month I ovulated on CD17 and had a 31 day cycle! Never had a cycle that long before. Anyway this is a really long winded way to say that keep testing for a few days just to be sure!

I posted earlier in the month.
i don’t know what’s going on with my cycle this month the app confirmed ovulation 2 different dates then went back and is awaiting confirmation my bbts was lower than usual for me but have since been up and down. The natural cycles app predicted Af earlier than usual but still no Af and I’m now cd 38 usually no later than 35 days . I’ve been having bad cramps all through this month sometimes AF type pain sometimes ovulation type pain only on 1 side.
yesterday I thought AF was coming but it was just heavy CM quite watery .
honestly don’t know what to do with myself my bbts are not high enough for pregnancy i will attach my graph
has anyone had this with bbt before and still has a period?.
I just want AF to arrive now so we can start again I’m really moody aswell more than usual .

No I'm sorry I haven't ever had anything like that I actually had a home made burger tonight lol, no dizziness either but do have extreme fatigue, and no cravings yet either. The only odd thing was going off my orange squash and it tasted funny yesterday

Hello, I'd say you've got time for your peak yet and the reason I say this is like you, I thought I had my peak last month and that maybe my peak wasn't that high at around 0.5. It wasn't until CD38 (I have pcos) that it peaked and went way up to a 1.4. Every body is different though, I would just keep testing and look out for ewcm, I've found when that's present, I'm also seeing a spike in my LH tests.

@UnicornPrincessSarah that latest test looks positive? The fact all of them are showing lines looks definitely very hopeful!
@WhiteDigestives sorry to hear it’s hard for you guys with health issues. It’s stressful enough without further pressures so really feel for you!

Just thought I’d send this through. I know a few of us were worried about age affecting our chances. But looking at this it doesn’t make much difference! It just may take longer within the year, rather than first or second month. This made me feel better!

Thank you i just read one amazon review she said she got 8 positives then went to come with another brand and got negative so will keep testing and wait to see if AF comes next week if not will get a digital

This was good to see @Dogscanlookup ❤️- 35th birthday looming this year

I'll also be turning 35 this June and DH 40 in October

@LK2610 @Dogscanlookup I turned 35 in Jan, which is also when we started TTC for #1. I remember looking up the advice for when to consult your GP and the NHS website said if you have been trying for 6 months and you are over 35. Now they have changed this to "36 and ove"r, so clearly the NHS isn't worried about us!

Having said that DH and I discussed this morning if we have no luck after 6 months we'll get a private check-up, just in case...

Question for you all - if you get your peak day, do you count DPO from the day after?
I got my peak last night, so I would usually assume I ovulated today and so tomorrow would be 1dpo?

@CoolSummer89 that’s good to hear! But yeah, no harm in getting checked out after 6 months to put your mind at rest!

Yes, so if my peak was today, tomorrow would be ovulation day which makes Monday 1dpo 🤗

@Daniki thanks! My app for my Progesterone testing it counting my peak as ovulation day… bit weird!

Thanks so much :)
only thing is I have very regular 28 day cycles so not sure how much later it could happen!

Thank you, I find those stats really reassuring. I remember on a thread someone once posted the odds of getting pregnant each month for a year but I can’t seem to find it!

Well my 7 or 8 dpo birthday test was bfn but not letting it get me down. Will try again on tuesday or wednesday I think.

@Dogscanlookup thats really reassuring thank you for sharing!
hello all! Moved over from the march thread. AF arrived on Friday (one day early). It’s crazy the difference in how I feel in the run up to at - constantly thinking about ‘am I pregnant?’ And as soon as AF comes it’s a little weight lifted and I can just think okay well onto the next try.
we’ve just booked a holiday for June which has also relaxed my mind a bit as dp put it ‘it’s a win win for me’ if I can drink in Ibiza that will be brill (will in a way be gutted if I can’t😂) but if I’m pregnant then that will be my dream in progress. Takes the edge off the intensity - that’s what im hoping anyway!!
sorry long message- good luck all!

Happy birthday @emmies86 🎉 hope you get your BFP soon as a belated birthday present!

I’ve finally peaked today on CD16 so two days later than last time, I think that makes my period due on 6th April, but sometimes it comes early. Anyone else on a similar timeline?

I was hoping I’d be able to hold off testing until Easter Monday which would have been 9dpo but will now be only 7dpo 🙄.

So last month I got my peak 4-5 days late (cd 17), this cycle it seems to have come early (cd 11) - or at least caught itself back up 😂 has that happened to anyone else? Do you think this looks like a positive ovulation test?

Looks like I might now be on the same timeline as you @YaWeeFurryBastard 🙌

@LK2610 looks positive to me so seems we’re on the same timescale. @RW269 how are you getting on? You’re similar as well if I remember rightly?

Update to you all seems the amazon reviews on these tests are dodgy maybe try as tested again on a 3 hour hold and no drinking and have to squint to see a line now super faint this is now 48 hours from my first hint of a positive so really I would have thought line maybe darker unless start of a chemical I'm not to sure.

Going to wait now as feel like crying if these tests have all been false positives will next test when and if AF is late

Hubby did warn me not to get hopes up and I was trying but after 2 negatives before the faint positive and even testing 1 in water then to have 6 faint positives over 3 days to now 3rd day afternoon nothing when last 2 afternoons there was something really strange
