Let's make some May babies

The end of July is drawing near; SWI with DP hasn't been as frequent as hoped; and I've decided to err on the side of caution.

So. Here's a thread for anyone else hoping to make a beautiful May 2012 baby.

I am 27 and TTC #1. Been on pill for an age so unsure of cycles. Only been trying for a couple of weeks - the more I type the more I note my wild optimism!!

Anyone else who knows more about this business than I do? Please come and give me some hope that a May baby might be at all possible :)

Sorry, just needed to pop meself on the list ladies :)

AF due tomorrow. Doesn't remotely feel like it's going to happen, but then it rarely does. But as I've been cramping since 8DPO and feeling nauseous, if she turns up I'm going to be disappointed! And if she doesn't, I'm going to be shitting myself! Shock

And did I mention SICK!!! :(

mildertduck · 21/08/2011 13:23

Hello hello, 7DPO over here...

Not awful lot to report. Lots of creamy CM yesterday, still crampy crampy, funny smelling pee. Nothing today other than the fact that I am earth-shatteringly tired.

Was stupid stupid yesterday and took a cheapy test - still a big no, but what on earth was I doing testing so early? Silly me. Might have to get husband to hide them.

I made a typo when I added my AF date so here it is as it should be:

Rusulka · 21/08/2011 13:13

Sounds good DO67!
And congrats Kveta

DH kindly pointed out to me yesterday that I missed a bit when 'grooming' that looks like Hitler's 'tache. I pointed out that his looks like Brian May, so people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, etc.

Grump, I feel like I'm being left behind... you're all either updiffed or think you might be and about to POAS.

Fingers crossed we get there this cycle. I know it's only our 2nd attempt, but dammit! I want to get there. Can't believe I've actually got my fingers crossed for sore boobs and whatnot when I finally get there. Waiting to ovulate's a pisser.

Update*
DH has sexificated himself for me! I feel special, must be our anniversary, lol.

Can't remember if I've said this before or not, but I read somewhere that morning sickness could be linked to the rise of hCG in your system, so the crappier you feel, the more of it there must be!

desperateoldie67 · 21/08/2011 12:52

OK...so I forgot to mention that my BBT went up this morning...shouldn't it be going down if I'm due AF? It's nearly as high as it was after I OVd.

desperateoldie67 · 21/08/2011 12:02

Hi ladies...been at a friend's since Friday night. Been feeling sooo feckin' nauseous I had to hit the Gaviscon, the smell of which nearly made me barf! She made me POAS on Saturday morning, but still nothing. I feel so weird though, that I'm not taking anything at all from that BFN and am going to wait until AF either makes her appearance or doesn't. Weirdly I had a dream in the early hours of this morning about starting my period...which I haven't. Due on Tuesday, so let's see what happens. I'm not good with waiting - I'm not the most patient type in the world.

Welcome to all the new ladies :)

notnowImreading · 21/08/2011 11:56

Congratulations Kveta!

orangehead · 21/08/2011 11:34

I don't think you are potentially upp duffed Kveta a line is a line you are pregnant Smile

Kveta · 21/08/2011 09:49

well, i tested again this morning (sainsbos cheapy again) and there was a very obvious line. eek! currently at the 'oh fuck, what have we done? stage :o

boobs not sore ( but still bfing, so that's maybe why?) aching all over like with flu, feeling nauseous, and dizzy. yup, that all adds up... grr. should someone start a 'May-be baby?' thread on the antenatal board for us potentially up-diffed ones?

and sorry for any typos, DS stole my shift key and I am very confused, so keep having to correct myself and type v. slowly. blardy toddlers.

orangehead · 21/08/2011 08:53

Happy anni mama, the high heels oud good Grin
Welcome tarty were we on a fitness thread together? How is it going?

TartyMcFarty · 20/08/2011 22:45

Thanks for adding me notnow

TartyMcFarty · 20/08/2011 22:44

Grin Rusulka that's the funniest thing I've read on MN, who knew the conception board was a barrel of laughs?!

Mama5isalive · 20/08/2011 22:35

Mrsshears join the club cramping feelings and then backache!

puzzletree · 20/08/2011 20:41

Ooh look at all these symptoms ladies. You've got me poking my boobs now just in case, but nah, they just seem normal... for now.

orangehead · 20/08/2011 20:00

Congrats Kveta.
No symptoms here to spot besides boobs feel ok, they are normally very painful when pmt, so unsual Confused

mrsshears · 20/08/2011 18:13

My cramping has been driving me mad all day.
Its too soon to be anything i'm sure,i can only be 4dpo maximum.
They are really strong though and feel like painful Af cramps,if its no better tomorrow i think i will see if i can get into the GP on monday.

pinkapples · 20/08/2011 16:50

Well ive had negative opk's since day 10 but have had ov symptoms so maybe did just ovulate and it didn't pick it up?

Well will keep going with the every other day SWI just in case... Dh must think it's his birthday

HeidiHole · 20/08/2011 15:29

haha stinky kinky may just stick anyway ;)

The sticks say i'm ovulating/ovulating soon/whatever a positive OPK means.

My husband is 150 miles away. Damn...he will be back home in 36 hours and I will pounce and hope thats OK!

KinkyDorito · 20/08/2011 15:17

Someone tell me if I'm pg please as it is doing my HEAD IN???!!!!

I hate the 2ww.

I have loads of 'symptoms' but I know from past experience my body does funny things when I want to fall pg. I feel sick; I've got sore boobs; I've got a full, pg feeling; I am in a bad mood; I have awful wind.

I better be pg after admitting that last one on here, otherwise I shall henceforth be known as 'stinky kinky'.

notnowImreading · 20/08/2011 14:00

Grin That really did cheer me up Rusulka. You are a comedy genius.

Rusulka · 20/08/2011 12:52

notnow this will cheer you up.

The witch seems to have gone I think, AGAIN, so pounced on DH this morning. There was no way I was wasting the sexification!

And afterwards, I um, tried to bicycle, but um... well, what it basically boils down to is... I'm too fat.
I tried getting my arms to prop up my back, like I used to when I was a lot younger, but I couldn't sustain it.
So DH had to wedge himself under my arse to try and prop it in the air while I did half-arsed bicycling. I assume I looked like an upside down tortoise trying to right itself. From my perspective, I looked like I was trying to waddle across the ceiling.
I gave in.
Then to add insult to injury (ow, me back!), when I went for a clear-out wee, it was like a watering can rose going off in all bloody directions- it's all well and good being bald and sexificated, but there's nothing to direct the urine in a sensible downward stream. Sigh.
Will have to squat over a bucket to collect my samples now, or put the POAS behind my ear.
Grump grump.

TartyMcFarty · 20/08/2011 12:30

Would somebody mind adding me please? My laptop's dead so I only have phone access which makes it tricky to c&p the whole list. My details are a few posts above, thanks! Smile

notnowImreading · 20/08/2011 12:18

I am all fed up - I don't have any symptoms at all to spot! It doesn't seem fair as feel I can't join in with the mania properly. I'm going to tell you some random things and fully expect to be encouraged to see these as a good sign, even though I know they're not really:
Residual tummy bug from swallowing thermal spa water on holiday
Weird, anxious dreams despite being pretty relaxed at home
Sniffles and itching in a hay-fever stylee
Lack of enthusiasm for any more effing sex (coupled with lack of any noticeable CM for examination and obsessing)

So, pregnant or just irritable? I know which one I'm guessing, which is not helping with the irritability. My husband said yesterday I was giving him 'looks of hatred'Blush

mrsshears · 20/08/2011 10:59

Thank you for all the lovely welcomes and thank you for adding me to the stats mama5

I think i ov'd tues/wed as i was very crampy and had lots of ewcm on those days,i would normally have tested with an ov stick however as we decide that last month was our last ttc i dont have any left!
I have been almost constantly crampy since tuesday,no other symptoms other than these cramps.I do normally get these on and around ovulation but then they disappear,anyone else had experience of this?
