April Showers Brings Christmas Babies 92 Testers (19 BFPs)(1 Angel )

[KrissyB]

Mummy3 - that must be terrible - the TWW is bad enough when it's just two weeks... I'd hate to have to wait even longer! FXed for you!

Anyone here been pregnant before and had stomach symptoms to go with it - especially early on? With my DD I was basically symptom free in that department. But today I am getting a TON of discomfort - bloating and gas/cramping pain in my stomach and feeling nauseated... Not in the feel like I'm going to be sick way, just feeling like I want to lay in a fetal position and not move lol. Not sure if I should chalk it up to a stomach bug or keep my hopes up for this month.

My names not on the list but been reading afar and loving all the updates. Congratulations on all the bfp's, there's so many. I waited well over the 2 weeks but finally tested yesterday and got a positive result. So good luck to everyone else for the rest of the month.

 

[Ckelly79]

Awe congrats Lynz huni be happy to add you to the BFPs lovely. X

Congrats Lynz!! 🎉

Good luck in May Borr 😊👍

Krissy - how many dpo are you? Looks like you're towards the end according to your chart? I'm also having quite a lot of discomfort 😬 to the point of needing to lie down but I'm only around 3dpo (I didn't chart this time). It's like a mix of back pain, gas and AF cramps. I remember similar symptoms with DS1 but not this bad! I had a c section with him so I'm starting to get a bit concerned that perhaps it's something to do with that?! And I've read not to take ibuprofen in the 2ww. Hope it's a good sign for us!

The witch got me this evening! I'm only 8dpo!!!! Im really worried now. This is second cyvle TTC number 2. First cycle I didn't ovulate until cd27 (positive opk cd26) and got my period on 10dpo, so my cycle was 37 days. This cyvle I got a positive opk on cd27 and ovulated cd28 and just got the witch tonight on cd36!!! I am so worried about my luteal phase now. I am going to get some vitamin b6 tomorrow. I don't know what else to do!

 

[Lucy3]

Oh no Emmy! Are you still b feeding?

 

[TeacherLynn]

I'm sorry borr Praying for you that May is your cycle!

Emmy, I'm sorry have you seen a doctor about that? (Sorry if you have said anything previously)

Congrats Lynz!

Afm - I believe I'm going crazy and have convinced myself that this is the month. Now I'm scared to test, which is a good because it saves money - 8 dpo with same symptoms, only now the "cramps" are in the middle of my lower abdomen and is more like shooting pains once in a while and a dull annoyance the rest of the time.

Thanks ladies!

Congrats Lynz! You are a little crazy for waiting that long to test H&H 9 months!

I'm 45...46 next month....really old to be ttc. It was difficult when I was young so not holding out much hope...but still hoping.

I have 4 girls and 3 boys....boys are easier! Lots of screaming with girls. my boys just break stuff. But their clothes are so much cuter. I truly hope you get her!!

Not really too old. more and more women are having kids in their 40's as well. FX you get your next baby very soon!

Thank you...you as well. Lots of them are using donor eggs. My budget can't stretch that far for a potential baby. But if you play the odds...I had about a 10 percent chance of getting pregnant ever...my youngest girl twin was not supposed to be viable, then when she proved she was going to make it they thought trisomy...she didn't have it. Turned out she has some issues but for the most part is a normal happy 9 year old. So yes I play the odds. I was never supposed to have any kids and I have been so blessed with my crazy family.

 

[kakae]

I caved and tested... bfn. I need to wait till I'm late (if I am)... must be stronger lol

 

[Ckelly79]

Fabulous cant wait to see x
Im currently 5/7dpo im really unsure as didn't use opks.
Little bloated maybe little nausea but I did have that last month.
Sharp pain on same side as ovulation on 3/5 dpo but that's it for me. Not feeling that hopeful.
Looking forward to seeing some BFPs as so many at that stage now x yayyyy

No I'm not breastfeeding anymore so it's not that. This is a new thing since having my son. My cycles have been all over the place, now they have finally settled into roughly 36 day cycles. It's only my second cycle actually using opk's and seeing how long my luteal phase is and that I'm ovulating really late. So now I know this I will definitely go to the doctors. But I don't know if anyone else agrees with me here, GP's in the UK generally know very little about fertility and conceiving. Whenever I discuss anything with the GP I am educating him on things!! I don't feel like I get any help. And we have to be referred to a fertility specialist for help with it and for any medication like clomid or progesterone etc and that can take months.
I'm going to get the vitamins today, I will visit the doctor and see what he says and I also really need to make an effort to loose weight because if we do need help to conceive they don't like it if your bmi is overweight. Thanks ladies, good luck to everyone still testing xxx

 

[Ckelly79]

Totally agree with you Emmy on the gps here it's like your educating them :/
