Hey Trixie!
Pink is my fav colour, and blue is how we all feel when we get a visit from AF, and I hadn't seen these colours used for ages, so I thought yeah, why not!
And yes, I am reallly hoping for some luck - I want to colour myself pink :laughing:.
Thanks for the tip also ;). Hope you are going well with your pregnancy.

Hi! Can you add me to April...I'm unsure of a date though...

Just had our 2nd M/C in 6 months, so hoping to be back on deck in March and testing in April. I figure by committing myself to testing in April I am thinking positive thoughts and that can only be a good thing!

Thanks:)

sparkle5301
01-03-2009, 16:32
big hugs for you nic255 :hugs: . I heard about your m/c, and hoping you are ok.... Positive thoughts are most welcome in this thread, and I would love to colour you pink for April. Good luck! :babydust2:

Could you please add me to the list too. I will be testing between Mrch 31 and 4th April. Af cycles have been ranging between 33 and 39 days for the last couple of years. so i guess it will depend on how i feel at the time as to when i actually test. These long cycles did affect conciving DS, i took just one month and he was cooking, and that was after a 39 day cycle before. And Af has just finished after a 39 day cycles. so fingers crossed.

And fingers crossed for all you girls too

Hi ladies,

Could you please add me to the 1st of April. I will "hopefully" be a week overdue for AF and will have used all the willpower that I have not to test any earlier as I have had two chemical pregnancies in the last three months and I don't think I could go through all that again. Please try and keep me from testing early girls. It is in my best interest not to. I have an appointment with my OB on the 22nd of April to see why it keeps happening. That is unless I get a BFP before then. Fingers crossed! Will have everything crossed for all you girls as well!! Good luck everyone!

Rydens mummy I will add you to the 4th - let me know if you want me to change it. That's my birthday so hopefully will bring you some luck

1st time mummy - Let's hope your body doesn't give you a BFN as an April Fool's joke!

I hope the April thread is good luck for you both :babydust2:

Hi

I have been ttc for a few months now but AF has not shown it's head since December.

I'm not pg so i'm booking in to see the Doctors about treatment to help me ovulate so I'm counting on April to be THE MONTH!!

Can I join??

sparkle5301
02-03-2009, 08:13
Hi Hailsntwang. Of course we'd love to have you join. Good luck at the doctors, and I hope April is your month too :fingerscrossed:.

02-03-2009, 14:45
Well girls unfortunately AF arrives for me 4 days late for the first time ever :hair:
Oh well….. I’m really optimistic that April will be my month so just have to wait to O now.

Please put me down for testing on the 6th.

sparkle5301
03-03-2009, 10:16
Hi Julz. :hugs: for AF arriving. Hopefully it's the last time for 9 or so months. I've put you down for the 6th. Good luck :babydust2:

03-03-2009, 18:07
hey sparkle - nice choice of colours - we hoping for a girl so here's hoping they are an omen for us :laughing:

after a very very unusually long 52 days AF arrived on sunday so have decided to skip testing in march and jump straight into here - according to FF i'm due again on the 22nd April so we'll make that my testing date (but hoping for something a little earlier if the stars can aline for me)

good luck to everyone and sending out much :babydust2:PINKNESS :babydust2:

BabyDreaming
04-03-2009, 08:03
I'm put down for March 30th, but could I please be put down for April 2nd aswell? :D

My cycles are irregular, and the 30th of March would probably be the earliest I could test, and April 1st would be the same cycle days as last time, but I don't trust POAS on april fools day :laughing:

AliMac
06-03-2009, 12:57
Hi there everybody!

Can I please join in? I am not sure about a testing date yet. I think I am due to O on 21/3 which would mean testing around 4/4?

I started acupunture yesterday and have some herbs to start drinking once AF stops on Sunday and started temping today to help me better understand my silly body.

Have to go away with work for the next two weeks with me only being home on weekends so heopfully my body decides to give me a hand and I do O on the 21/3 otherwise.... :no:

Here goes nothing....! :p

Good luck everyone - hope you get your :bfp:this month and chrissy bubbas for all!

BabyDreaming - don't stress Sparkle just pobably hasn't been on the last day or so to update it - she'll get there - :fingerscrossed: for a BFP for you xoxo

AliMac - completely understand about having restricted time to BD - my hubby works away one week on one week off and if (god forbid) i O at the wrong time the whole month is off - just hoping he got strong durable swimmers for when he is home to cover us lol


:babydust2: PINKNESS TO ALL :babydust2:

hi 1st time mum-

Sorry to hear about the chemy pregs. Are you taking Folate yet? I know it is not necessary to take it until you are UTD BUT it is a heatly practice in getting your body prepared to have a baby if you start taking it 3-6 months before you try. Also i have read that women who are already taking folate have an increase chance of fertility (not sure how true this is but its a nice to think it can)

sparkle5301
06-03-2009, 16:57
BabyDreaming - sorry i've been a bit slow :p. All updated now, and hope you can be coloured green & pink this month!

AliMac - Hope you have some luck with the acupuncture and herbs, and your body sorts itself out and you get your BFP this month. You'll be testing on my birthday so hope that brings you some extra luck

AliMac
06-03-2009, 18:12
Ah. Loving my "free weekend". That's what I call the couple of days when I have AF. I am allowed to have several drinks (and a several more) and enjoy without guilt.

Start taking my herbs on Sunday so back then - no alcohol and no bad foods, only fresh until... well hopefully 9mths! :D

Sparkle: Thanks for your kind words! Hoping your birthday is good luck with you being the "boss" of the thread and all. Wouldn't mind a nice little pink mark next to my name on that day!

Proudmama: I know it sucks. I am trying to get out of that position. I've already hinted to my boss that I may not be able to travel next survey period (we travel one month out of three). I can hope anyways....

AliMac
06-03-2009, 18:19
Ok. Now feeling the guilts... Am I doing myself more harm than good drinking when I have AF???? I figure that I'm not fertile because of AF but am I ruining everything for the month by doing it????

Sorry but feel like I'm losing my mind here! :laughing:

Hi Tegie,

I hadn't been taking any pregnancy vitamins and I know I should be as I am still breastfeeding my 14 month old DS as well. Have now started back on Blackmores Preg/Breastfeeding Gold and have been taking it religiously every day so far. Had also heard that taking vitamin B6 is good for the lining of your uterus, but am not sure how much is too much when breastfeeding. Fingers crossed for April!!

can i be added for 5th April please
:babydust2: to everyone

musicalmummy
09-03-2009, 12:58
can i be added too please??
AF is 28ish day cycle so due around 31st march.
this is our first time actually trying for a baby so we'll see how it goes. #1 was an oopsie (but no protection was used) and she she happened very quickly. #2 was a few pills forgotten but didn't think anything would happen. so here comes a planned baby and will probably take forever.
i have to say i am very nervous!!

musicalmummy I hope its another short journey for you this time with the planning and all. I got pregnant very quickly with my first three bubs, so not enjoying this long-winded trip of mine!

hopefully I'll be pinking lots of girls in April :babydust2::wizard:

Hi everyone, can you please put me down for testing on the 10th? Hubby and I have decided this month we are not charting, and trying to relax about the whole thing seeing as stressing over it hasn't worked for us so far. So we have said that we have to wait until Easter to test. That way I'll definitely know I'm late and avoid taking tests for no reason!

Baby dust to everyone, let's colour this mont pink!

:valentine: Hi everyone, I hope you don't mind me popping in. I am hoping to begin TTC in April so this is all very new to me. I am just coming off the pill now after being on it for 9 years and I am a bit worried as to what my cycles will be like after so long on the pill. Any advice/tips you have would be great.

I am currently temping and using OPK sticks just to get in the habit of finding out when I am ovulating. I have been taking folic acidfor the last 6 months as I was hoping to start TTC earlier but hubby and I have put it on hold due to my job - now I will be able to get 14 weeks paid maternity leave.

Any advice would be great - how long have you all be TTC?

Chloee

BabyJoy
14-03-2009, 14:47
Good luck Chloee! sounds like you are doing all the right things to get pregnant.

It took me three cycles to fall pregnant with DD, but we are now struggling to conceive #2. We've had plenty of tests as well and all have come back fine, so we are classed as "unexplained infertility". Just gotta keep trying! :thumbsup:

chloee42
14-03-2009, 15:04
Thanks babyjoy. I guess I have age on my side as I am 26. I guess I have read too much about people coming off the pill and not ovulating for 12 month or more. I just really want a baby so much that I am worried that because I really want it that it won't happen. I am trying to be really positive and just let things happen.

It seems everyone around me is getting pregnant and I don't know if I am noticing it more because I am nearly on the same page or whether it's just coincidence.

All the best with trying to conceive #2 - I hope your journey is a brief one.

Just wondering anyone who has conceived, did you do any extra things to help? I have read that reflexology can help as well as making sure you aren't stressed. Hubby and I appear to be doing all the right things to be prepared -we don't smoke, eat healthy, both are fit so fingers crossed. I would love to hear your stories.

sparkle5301
15-03-2009, 07:31
Hi Chloee :wave:. I agree with BabyJoy - it sure sounds like you are doing all the right things. I hope your TTC journey is short and sweet!

I fell with DD1 on the 2nd cycle, and DS1 on the 1st cycle, so it can happen. I am now being taught a lesson in patience!

jussi
15-03-2009, 21:46
Hi Chloee:wave:

I'm 25, so not much younger than you. DH and I have been ttc for 6 months now, roughly 6 cycles.

To put your mind at ease, I started ovulating straight away after coming off the pill, so it doesn't always stop people from O'ing long term. Unfortunately no bubs as of yet, but it's bound to happen eventually.

I know what you mean about everyone around you having babies. I am noticing it too. It's just our age I think. Between now and probably the next 10 years or so it will be happening on and off amongst our friends and siblings.

:fingerscrossed: that there will be a whole lot of December babies amongst us

:babydust2::babydust2:to everyone

Hi, I think I might join you. AF just finished so we're hoping for an April BFP :fingerscrossed:

Sparkle, please just put me down for unsure at this stage. If I go by my regular cycle, I should be able to test on the 9th, but hubby might be away then and I'll want him to be around, in which case I'll have to wait :eek: lol.

Lots of :babydust2: to you all

Hi Sparkle and everyone on the April thread.

I got a positive OPK today so I think I'll be testing on Apr 1st - hoping for an April fools BFP! Providing AF doesnt sneak up on me early like this month ...

Lots of :babydust2: to everyone

chloee42
18-03-2009, 18:28
:banghead: Hi everyone, just a really silly question.
I don't if any of you were as crazy as me but did any of you attempt to get into routine of temping and using ovulation sticks whilst still on the pill just to get into the habit of it? I am coming off the pill in 10 days and thought it wouldn't do any harm (apart from wasting time and money) to get into the habit so that maybe I could work out more body before TTC.

The problem is that now I am confused as it is day 15 of my cycle and according to the ovulation sticks I haven't ovulated. I was told that being on the pill shouldn't affect it, that I should still see a faint line confirming when I am ovulating. I guess I am just doing a test run before I start TTC in April but wondering if anyone has any thoughts on it orhas been stupid enough to do what I am doing?!! :)

I am thinking that the pill is affecting the results. I was given about 40 OPK's so it hasn't cost me anything I just thought no harm trying to learn my cycle and learn what my chart is supposed to look like.

Please tell me if you think it is a waste of time, only 10 days until I am off the pill so I am thinking may as well keep going as I got them for free from a friend who no longer needs them now she is pregnant :shakehands:

:banghead: Hi everyone, just a really silly question.
I don't if any of you were as crazy as me but did any of you attempt to get into routine of temping and using ovulation sticks whilst still on the pill just to get into the habit of it? I am coming off the pill in 10 days and thought it wouldn't do any harm (apart from wasting time and money) to get into the habit so that maybe I could work out more body before TTC.

The problem is that now I am confused as it is day 15 of my cycle and according to the ovulation sticks I haven't ovulated. I was told that being on the pill shouldn't affect it, that I should still see a faint line confirming when I am ovulating. I guess I am just doing a test run before I start TTC in April but wondering if anyone has any thoughts on it orhas been stupid enough to do what I am doing?!! :)

I think you have been given some confused information. The pill actually stops you from ovulating, although not always 100% effective. But as a general rule, you will not ovulate whilst on the pill. If you did ovulate, the pill wouldn't affect the results of the OPK test, but I would say it's not showing up because you actually haven't ovulated. Many women don't actually ovulate for a few months after they have stopped taking the pill. A period is not necessarily evidence that you have ovulated, particularly when it is brought on by the changes in hormones used in the pill. I'd say you are probably wasting your time, as you will see neither a temperature shift of a positive OPK test until you are off the pill. Start temping on the first day of your next period.

Hope this helps

anemone - YAY for O! One giant step closer to that BFP.
jellyd - welcome to April testing!
thumbelina - I hope you get your Xmas baby too. I have a Xmas baby, and it was the best Xmas ever!
soph'smum - you're not mad TTC #3. Don't they say the more the merrier??
mrskb - You're on the list. 1.5 days is really short. I don't know that it's a problem, but someone else may be able to shed light on this.

A liberal sprinkling of babydust for April testers :babydust2: :babydust2:

Hey everybody!! Well AF has just finished after 1.5 days!! Anybody think that's too short??

Hi mrskb - I hope that you don't take this the wrong way because I certainly don't want to upset you, but I had a 1.5 day period last month, about 6 days earlier than I expected, and it turned out it was a very very very early pregnancy loss (ie chemical pregnancy). That's not necessarily what has happened to you, and the good news is that your AF is over and you can ttc again with a new cycle :smiliedance:

anemone - good luck for an April fools BFP

chloee42 - i think jussi is right, the pill actually stops you from ovulating so opk's won't be very useful while you're still taking it

mrskb
19-03-2009, 22:52
Thanks BB.... AF is usually short for me... about 3 days, but this one was extra short. Was definately on time though... 31 days! Maybe I will POAS tomorrow just to rule it out as implantation bleed or anything like that!

proudmama
20-03-2009, 00:25
chloee42 - even though doing OPK's and temping to find thermo shift may be redundant ATM it's still good to get in the habit now before you need to rely on the result in weeks to come - i started temping a few months back but it took me ages to get into the habit and my first chart was a mess - but now i've done a couple and tempin and using OPK's are almost second nature and my results are starting to come together and i can now see patterns etc - good luck :fingerscrossed: and hopefully you wont need to do it for long

20-03-2009, 16:11
:oThanks everyone - I had a feeling that we don't ovulate on the pill but I guess I took the wrong advice. Only 7 days until I am off the pill and officially TTC in April! I can't wait - at least I am now in the habit of temping before I get out of bed though I might add POAS in the afternoons can be a pain as I am trying not to drink water 2 hours prior - I am a big water drinker and with the warmer weather at the moment this can be difficult. I am also a teacher so POAS in the afternoon can sometimes clash with work meetings but I have managed it so far.

I hope all of you get a BFP next month! I doubt I will as it will be my first month trying but I have heard that people can conceive 1st month off the pill.

Just wondering what sorts of things you are all doing to assist with conceiving apart from the obvious.

Have a great weekend and I have my :fingerscrossed: for all of you.

After you posted this - it has happened to me! 3 day AF, this has never happened to me before. The 2nd day was sooo heavy and painful, and then bang, and it was gone. So hoping you get a BFP this month and I can copy that too :D

I don't want to be a total downer, but I still got positive hpt's up to a week AFTER the bleeding, as there was still HGC in my system after the chem preg, so just be cautious with the results. If it was on time, it sounds like just a really short AF (lucky you!). Good luck :fingerscrossed:

AFM uggh i'm so frustrated today :hair: I think I have a mild UTI - the symptoms are not very bad but they are definitely there. We have been BDing every couple of days and i don't want to stop trying as I am due to Ov next week.

I just made an appt with my doc to possibly get some (pregnancy-safe) antibiotics even though I prefer not to take them if I can avoid it. But in this case I want everything down there to be clear and healthy for conceiving.

ugg so annoying....:hissy:

I have been thinking and have come to an important decision. I have decided to stop TTC. I will remain off birth control but I am putting away my Maybe Baby and my other TTC related stuff and I am going to see what happens.

I would like to take this time to say thank you all for all your kind words and support over the last few months. I would also like to wish you all luck in your TTC journey. Hopefully you all get your BFP's very soon.

I will continue to check my private messages but will not be posting anymore.

Again, thank you so much.

I'm not sure if you still going to read posting from others. As you mentioned, you only going to read your private messages.

I'm actually off to see an ob-gyn next week (she let me keep my original appt from my chem preg as I have had 2 losses) so I will be interested to see what she has to say.

So I'm thinking of testing over Easter weekend, as I want to wait until AF is well and truly overdue to avoid testing too early like last time :(.

Hi Sparkle,

can you put me down for testing on the 16th please.

my story so far - myself and DH started TTC over a year ago. I was very naive to being with and assumed I'd get a BFP the first month :doh:I was a regular visitor to these pages for the first 8 or 9 months but then decided to take a step back for a while.

I went to my doc about two months ago and go some tests done - DH and myself went to FS - everything seems to be in working order so we were told to keep trying for another 6 months before they would take things further. :hair: I guess I kinda wanted them to offer us the quick fix solution!!

Heading on hols this week and will be away around O so fingers crossed we get a holiday baby!!

:babydust2: to all and looking forward to seeing lots of BFPs as April progresses

1st time mummy - hope you can resist the urge to POAS - (I know you are trying not to till early Apr) can you maybe give them to a friend so there's none in the house? Good luck!

AFM - about 6 dpo and a bit tired but that's prob just the weather. I think the second week of the 2ww goes much slower than the first - do other ppl get that?

Hi there ladies,
Just to let you all know that I did the OPK test very early this morning...and I'm happy that it was right on time! I got poor DH to 'work' straight away...hahahaha!!! But we did BD'ing soon after my last day AF just so that we're not going to miss anything, so to speak! So, I guess tomorrow will be my first day TWW. I've a free O calculation chart from one of the website and it shows that I will be able to make pg test as early as 4th April...but I guess it's too early. So I've to say...change my date to 11th April.
All that we can do now is to wait and wait and wait. Of course, :fingerscrossed: and lots of:wizard:...same goes to all of you.

Hi Girls

I am new to the Bub Hub :wave:& came across this thread as i have a gorgeous 2 year old & we have decided that this month is the month to start ttc on baby #2. I just started my AF this morning so once its over we will be going 4 it!
Sorry girls i dont know the short terms for things yet..will look that up after i add my post!
The only thing is i usually have a 31 day cycle however this month AF arrived on day 37??? Is that normal? and how will i know what dates i am ovulating on 37 day cycle?
Congrats to the girls who have just found out that they are pregnant...That is fantastic news! :yelclap:
Its going to be hard to keep the news from everyone for 12 weeks isn't it! :barf:First time around we told our families straight away..and friends when we were about 7 weeks.
I was very fortuante enough not to have any morning sickness..but i know all pregnancies are different and it can give it away if your pregnant way before the 12 week mark!
This time i am thinking of keeping it secret for 12 weeks if i can but i am unsure whether or not to find out the sex this time around?
Listen to me jumping a million steps ahead of myself..we haven't even started yet and i am getting excited!
Well all i can recommend to u all is something that my doc suggested to me, i still am carrying excess weight from the first bub and the doc said even if i lost 3 kilos it increases my chances of falling pregnant & to have sex at least 3 times a week every week..once at the start of the week, then mid week then at the end of the week as sperm lasts for so long and that way ur not putting pressure on yourself to only try during ovulation times. She said that way its bound to happen!!! Or you can just try everyday...least it keeps ur partner happy! :laughing:
Anyway i am looking forward to getting to know you all and i am looking forward to hearing about all your positive test results!!!!! :yes:
Take care and speak soon

Good luck to all those waiting to test. :)

wow congratulations!:smiliedance:

AFM I am about 8dpo atm, but have felt nauseous for the past 2 days and have really sore boobs, also really tired and keep falling asleep in the evenings or afternoons. It's probably too early to tell, but it sounds promising to me. AF is due either Friday or Saturday, and DH has banned me from poas until the weekend, so I guess I'll just have to wait and find out. He'll know if I poas because there's only 1 hpt left and I'll have to go buy more if I do.

:fingerscrossed::babydust2:to everyone

29-03-2009, 21:32
Good luck Jussi

I woke up on cycle day 14 ( two days after ovulation ) dry wretching and then have every day since. The same thing happened with my two girls - so even though I was thinking it was too early to know - I was fairly confident. Looks like another 9 months of morning sickness!

29-03-2009, 21:50

Hi Ladies!
Excited to say that April we are going to start TTC! Can anyone help with my query about whether or not I should have a papsmear before trying? I am not due for one until the end of the year!??
Loads of luck to you all!!

Firstly congrats to all the BFPs.

Sparkle , could I chnage my testing date to 11 April? I didn't ovulate until day 17 this cycle so testing any sooner than the 11April would only result in BFN!

I was taking vitamin B6 this cycle in an attempt to lengthen my fairly short luteal cycle ( only 10 days and even then a bit of spotting beforehand). Soemone said to me that some people take vitamin B6 in an attempt to conceive a girl? I'd never heard of that one. has anyone else heard this.

Personally I just want to be pregnant with a baby...gender doesn't worry me...but it would be interesting if this was true!!

Babydust to all!:wizard:

30-03-2009, 10:50
Congrats Soph's mum - i was the same as you woke up one morning just feeling rotten and have everyday since so felt pretty confident - let's hope all our pinkness rubs off on the other ladies


lilbird - if you want a papsmear i say get one - the more often the better - every 2 yrs is only what is recommended



MUCH PINKNESS TO ALL!!!!!!!

Lilbird - Id get the pap smear now before TTC just to be safe.

Silverbaby - not sure about the B6 and girls.

AFM - 1DPO yayay Od CD15 which is earliest ever - so exciting.

Wow, that's incredible! 3 BFPs already and its still March??!!! :yelclap::yelclap::yelclap:
Huge congrats to Sophs mum, Proud Mama and 1st Time Mum. Hope you have a wonderful 9 months.

Feel like the pressure's on me now for the first April - wouldn't it be great to have 3 pinks on that testing day?? But I will try and hold myself back as long as I can as despite OPKs suggesting Im 10 or so dpo, I have had wierd temps (not rapidly rising) and only just starting to get my usual PMS. So I reckon maybe I O'd later than I thought?

Lots of babydust to all!:babydust2:

Hi there,
I still have more than a week to go (3dpo today), it drives me nuts:hair:. Bought a new nail polish and undies (the last time I bought undies was 2 years ago!!) and brief for DH:o(TMI??).
Last night, I woke up with odd cramps on my right...and I've CM when pee. Well, still early to tell...apart from cramps and CM, and stuffy nose(allergy), I feel just fine.
:fingerscrossed: and :wizard: for all of us.

Eco Goddess
30-03-2009, 13:40
Wow! This month is looking so good already!:D

Can I please have my testing date changed to the 4th... I think I was confusing my weeks:laughing: I should be approx 17dpo by then (only guessing cos I dont temp or OPK) and am feeling really good about it

soph'smum
30-03-2009, 13:51
Hi all

I'm stressing myself out today. As you all know, got my BFP yesterday at 11dpo - it was an afternoon test and there was a second line instantly, feint but definitely a second line.

I flew out of bed this morning to poas - hoping to see two darker lines and while the second line was there - it was a lot lighter than yesterday!

I've run every theory imaginable through my brain today (and got almost no work done) - from early miscarriage etc to I was dreaming it.

They were both First response HPTs.

Anyone have any ideas?

I've made an appointment at Dr for tomorrow arvo and am hoping he'll take bloods even though I'll still only be 13dpo.

Surely I can't imagine dry wretching every day??!!??

Electric Boogaloo
30-03-2009, 17:38
CONGRATS TO ALL THE BFPs!!! Haha all those naughty ladies who couldn't wait until April ;)

cairnswaterbaby
30-03-2009, 21:25
Soph's Mum I am sure u are fine!!! Just wait until u see the doctor and then you can breathe easy then!

Lilbird i would get a pap smear done. My family doctor really stuffed up and didnt tell me til my DS was 18mths old that my pap smear was a high grade cin 3 abnormality.

So ive been thru the wars over the past couple of months.

Ive had a loop excision (sorry i can't remember what its called) 3 months ago and the oncologist gyno never called me after so everything must of been fine after that procedure. I have a 3 month follow up on the 9th i am going in for a colposcopy, biopsy and pap smear to see if its healed ok and to see how the cells are looking.

Does anyone know if this will affect my chances of ttc this month?

I guess i can always ask the gyno when i see him! My main concern is trying, conceiving and then getting bad news!

I guess i will cross that path when i come to it! Any advice here???? I will ask the gyno if he thinks it will be a good idea that we start ttc this month.

I am hoping i am blessed with twins..greedy i know..but chances are that i may have to have a full hysterectomy after the next bubba!

I am sooo happy for you lovely ladies who have got BFP's that is fantastic news...and like the other girl's have said..start spreading your :wizard: to the rest of us

Hope you all had a great Monday..well as good as it can get anyway!

Hi everyone

Just wanted to give you an update. I took another HPT this morning with FMU and it was definitely :bfp:, which eased my mind a lot.

I went to the Dr for a BT this arvo and we missed the damn courier! So now I have to wait til tomorrow.

Good signs though - lots of cramping (same as with dd1 and 2), my boobs are sore, my BBT skyrocketed this morning and I :barf:again this morning.

Thanks so much to everyone for calming me down a bit! It must sound terrible me whingeing about a possible m/c first month trying when so many others spend months and even years TTC. :o

I would be testing twice a day for the next couple of days and seeing what the line does. If it goes lighter than the first one you have done then yes I would say your surge has been and gone, but if its progressively getting darker then your last one before they start getting lighter will be your surge. Goodluck!

anemone
01-04-2009, 07:20
Yay - congratulations Spludgie, that's fantastic!!





Also I did OPK for nearly 2 weeks around O and they were all positive.

That's pretty unusual with the OPKs - is there any chance you are further along than you think, cos I hear they can be positive when you are pg.

Sorry to hear about AF, Carlyandmark. :hugs:and hope your BFP is right around the corner.

BFN for me (but using OPK cos I have heaps - saving my proper peesticks till AF is late :)) today - 12 dpo (I think). Not feeling AF-y yet, and temp still up so we shall see what the next few days bring....

Lots of :babydust2: to all and watch out for those April Fools!

Hi ladies

Well it appears that April really is the month!

My son not only turns 1 on the 13th, but I finally got a referral to see a Gyno on the 23rd (about my vanishing period), but today I woke up and my AF has come home.

After 4 months of disappearing she is hear which means I can really start trying with intent and really will be able to test this month.

YAY!!!!!!!!!

Good luck to everyone on here and good luck to me
:babydust2: to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spludgie
01-04-2009, 10:02
Anemone, I don't think I am any further along, I have been regularly doing hpt as well so if i was further along i thought they would have indicated so, but i am having a blood test next week then hopefully an early ultrasound in a couple of weeks so we'll see. :)

mrsHNF
01-04-2009, 10:41
Hi there,
When Anemone mentioned about using OPK for pg test...I did the same thing lol! I don't want to use the pee stick just yet. Well, I'm not sure why I still got 2 lines...the one on the test window is darker than the control. No, I'm sure I'm not pg just yet...still early...5dpo.
Oh well...:fingerscrossed: and :wizard: for all of us.....

sparkle5301
01-04-2009, 11:12
Hailsntwang - that's great news :yelclap:. Lets hope April continues to be a fantastic month for you!

mrsHNF - with that OPK result, it sounds like maybe you're not 5DPO but due to O today if the lines darker??? If it were me, I would be BD'ing like crazy just to be sure :laughing:

mrsHNF
01-04-2009, 11:51
Hi Sparkle,
How strange...hmm...maybe I've miss calculated my CD...well, I did the OPK on the 24th (faint line), 25th (same) and 27th (I was pretty sure I ovulated because the test line were darker than the control line). Geez, I really thought I ovulated on the 27th:no:...oh, well...thanks anyway, Sparkle:thumbsup:. Have to wait for DH to come home later this evening.
Still, lots of :wizard: to all of us.

Bexsi
01-04-2009, 12:01
I had read somewhere on internet (may not be to credible? ) that you wont get a pos opk if pregnant until you would get a pos hpt anyway. Spludgie thats interesting you kept getting pos opks after O for so long, has anyone else got pos opks before a pos hpt and obvioulsy not because of O?

Mrs HNF have you been temping, that would tell you if you have already Od or not?

Anemone - hope you get that BFP soon

AFM - only 3DPO what can I say, just waiting !!!

ringneck
01-04-2009, 12:44
One of the ladies in the clomid thread constantly had positive opks something to do with a naturally high amount of LH.

Hi Bexsi...no, I guess I've made mistake...I went straight to OPK by counting from the first day of my last period and refering to the ovulation calculation on the website.
So as soon as I got the POS OPK, I thought...better start BD'ing straight away.
But as I mentioned before, I got the strange feeling since yesterday...nausea, cramping, temp high...and then this morning I got up feeling cramps around my abdomen, so I decided to have another test.
I'll have to wait until 11th April...if AF doesn't show itself then I'll do HPT but if otherwise...then I'll start all over again.
Ringneck-I'll have to read the thread. Thanks Bexsi and ringneck

well I couldn't wait and just did a HPT with an internet cheapie and got a super faint :bfp: :smiliedance:

Then did one with first response and got a :bfp: straight away... not very dark yet but definately there!!!!

I'm only 10DPO so will test again in a few days to see if it's darker.

Have had no syptoms what so ever so wasn't really expecting a :bfp:

Hi ladies :wave:

Would love to join the TWW group with you all :)

I am currently 8DPO and have been feeling very very tired and dry retching in the mornings and my (.Y.) have been sooooo sore on the sides so im :fingerscrossed: it will be a BFP for us this month

I was gonna test on the weekend but might just sneak in a POAS in the morning only coz of the strong symptoms ive had

I wish you all lots of luck and i hope you get your BFP very soon :D

Hi girls, i have been MIA for a while, but am still due to test on the 4th, may wait until 5th. Just a question, I had no real pregnancy symptoms except tender boobies with my son, so sort of expecting the same when i get pregnant again.

But tonight i noticed i have slightly tender bobbies, nothin unusual for before AF or Pregnancy for me, tonight i noticed when i squeeze (TMI) i was able to get out a few drops of yellowy white milk??? which is no big suprise with my baby only being 8mths today, but i havnt been able to get anything out of my breast like that for the last 4 mths. I had dried up good and proper after a month of stopping feeding Ryden. I stopped feeding him at the start of November last year and by december i had completley dried up. Now all of a sudden i can get it out of both breasts. And when i touch it its really think. Any ideas.


Could this be a sign that i could be pregnant.

Stacey

:smiliedance:YAY JULZISIMPATIENT! Congratulations and I hope you have a happy healthy pregnancy

Welcome Flossy79. What date would you like me to put you down for testing. Good luck - I think you've joined a lucky thread!!

I really can't help you at all Rydensmummy - just wanted to let you know :fingerscrossed: for you.

Well, getting closer to test date. AF is due in 2 days. I caved this arvo and took a test, and I could have sworn there was a very faint shadow where the line should be. I don't want to get my hopes up though, it could be me imagining it, i thought what i saw was very very very faint. Anyway, I've had sore boobs a couple days, and have been a bit nauseous and very tired. Hopefully this is a good sign and not just AF coming? I sometimes get sore boobs before AF, but not nausea usually.

:fingerscrossed:this is all heading where i'd hoped!

:babydust2::babydust2:for everyone this month, and congrats to all the BFPs so far!

Hi all, did my test a lil earlier than i said but it was a BFN, still no sign of period, am now 9 days past due and wondering what is going on, am usually right on time give or take a day or two. So who knows what is going on, a friend suggested I may have ovulated later than expected, even though I have no idea really when i do ovulate in my cycle. Have purchased a maybe baby ovulation kit and planned to start using it if i wasn't pregnant this time around in my next cycle, so either waiting for that to start or waiting for a miracle ?? will test again april 8th or 9th if nothing is happening still..... congrats to everyone who has already has BFP for the month.. :smiliedance:

~Kimba~
02-04-2009, 11:19
:yelclap:for all the BFP's in this thread! So many lil December babes on the way, awww.

Blood test has finally confirmed a definite :bfn: for me (1st April). HPTs were neg but my doc wanted to be sure as my AF was unusually short and light (almost non-existent) and I've got an unusual pain low on the left side - so we wanted to rule out ectopic preg. I've been really anxious about that for the past week, so it's a relief to know for sure and have the 'all clear', even though it's a BFN.

I'm on CD10 now with EWCM today :smiliedance:so I should be O'ing shortly. Hopefully I'll have some good news at the end of this month :fingerscrossed:

:babydust2: to all and hope the BFP's keep rolling in...

BabyO
02-04-2009, 11:39

I should be Oing next week so :fingerscrossed:

CONGRATULATIONS JULZISIMPATIENT. I hope you have a wonderful 9 months and beyond !!!

Jussi - All sounds very promising looking forward to hearing another BFP :)

Kimba - Sorry it was a BFN but at least its not ectopic. Good luck with Og and catching that egg

Zoemacaroni - Sorry its BFN hopefully you will get a little suprise

Rydens mummy - I know this can still happen for years after you have stopped breast feeding so try not to think to much about that but you still have some promising signs. :fingerscrossed: you get that BFP.

proudmama
02-04-2009, 14:16

Well i cavedorning and poas, and got a BFN :(, But not rulinganything quite yet, as AF isnt due to come until saturday. And since late last night i have been suffering waves of nausea. It can last from between 5 and 20mins, then goes awy for a couple of hours then comes back. It come weather i have eat or even when i have eaten. SO i still have fingers crossed. will try and be good and not test untill sunday. But thats not a promise

Just got a Positive OPK!!! YAY!! Lots of BDing for the next few days! Made me realize I O alot later than I thought I did!! Maybe that's why I am not PG yet!

On another note... FIL brought over his cat for a visit tonight and there was a massive cat fight between his and my cats. Now my 2 babies won't go near each other like they are scared of each other and it makes me sad! Not to mention I have scratches everywhere from trying to break it up!

Hi lovely ladies,
I just want to share with all of you about my embarassing moment. DH and me went to the shop late this afternoon as we ran out of food and cat litter for our spoilt rotten, Goldenberry. As we walked into the shop, I stepped on the slippery floor and you know what happened next. I banged my knee on the hard tiles but luckly I managed to grabbed onto DH shirt! As DH helped me to get up, I feel pain from my hip right down to my knee (well, I got a very nice graze on my knee). A cleaner who was standing near by saw me slipped and fall, but she just stood there and did nothing!!!
DH went up to her and asked 'why didn't she put 'wet floor' sign or wipe the floor, she replied 'I don't have a mop or the sign' then she walked away.
I swear if I wasn't in pain at that time, I would give her a good smack on the face!
Well, I'm now resting on the bed with sore knee and hip. DH cooked dinner for us and said I don't have to do anything tonight.
Sorry for posting my 'embarassing moment' at the shop on this April thread...ooh...I've to stop here...feeling nausea for the third time today.

As for me - I am in the 2ww, and am hoping it's my month because I am sick of being in a no alcohol zone for no reason!!! Birthday on the 4th though, and think I'll cave and have a glass of wine with dinner (:shame: I know, but the waiting sux!!!)

Hi Flossy79,
We all know that testing to early can give a false reading but I guess we just cant help it, Why DO we do that to ourselves?
So have a good cry and see what the weekend brings there could still be a BFP waiting for you.
I had my own moment last night a friend had a little girl yesterday morning and last night I was thinking of her holding the baby in her arms and it made mine ace.
Lots of baby dust coming your way.

03-04-2009, 14:15
Wow Congratulations to all the BFPs already this month :smiliedance:

bbluedust you must be so thrilled after 11 long months tcc! I have read a few threads now where bubhubbers have gotten a BFP right before a doctor or FS appointment. I have a doctors appointment later this month :fingerscrossed: this works for me too :D

MrsHNF I hope you're feeling better today.

Rydensmummy that sounds very promising :fingerscrossed:

I'm just riding out the TWW at the moment. I O'd earlier than usual this month & had heaps more EWCM than usual so the herbs from the naturopath must be doing their thing which is great.

Good luck to everyone testing over the weekend :babydust2:

Well don't mark me blue yet but i tested this morning as AF is due but it was a BFN. The witch isn't here yet but i think 14DPO and a BFN means she'll be here soon.

Congrates to all those with BFP what a lucky month!! so many people coloured pink. I wish you all a very sticky and enjoyable pregnancy.

04-04-2009, 07:54
Thank you for adding me to this group! I am 9 days DPO (I think) and BFN this morning - couldn't resist testing but it certainly seems like a positive month for many so hopefully ............... I don't have any mild AF symptoms which I would normally have by now but also my cycles can sometimes run longer Thanks again.

Thanks for the birthday wishes bexsi, kat & preggy - I have been totally spoilt today. All my students came bearing gifts and it took me three trips to the car to get them all home!

I agree with Bexsi - someone bring the birthday girl some BFP's! Can't wait to find out who's next......

I am now off the pill and currently on the last day of my period so hopefully I will be ovulating at the end of next week if all goes to plan, not sure when that would make me testing to see, I am thinking the end of the month? I hope everyones stay is a short one. :babydust2:

Hey everyone. I could be lucky - or counting my chickens, but hoping that I will need to do a test this month. Believe I will be due for my period early next week. Fingers crossed that it doesn't come though. If not., I'll move over to the May testing board. Sam.
