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 :)

Morning missuswife, does sound like BFN, but definitely test again in a few days if AF hasn't turned up, fingers crossed she stays away. Where you travelling to? I'm up early because DS1 has decided to get up early for some reason, grrr...
Kveta exciting! Hope all these BFPs are contagious....
Mama5 I reckon my AF is due a few days after you, seems like ages off doesn't it! Stay patient :)

missuswife · 20/08/2011 06:52

Morning ladies! I'm up way too early on a Saturday as we're taking a coach up t'North today. POAS first thing and I am pretty sure it's a BFN. Blue line in the little oval box and nothing in the circle. Don't know what brand it is and don't have the box, was given to me by a friend. But, no sign of AF either and I've always been pretty regular even off the pill. Should I test again in a few days?

Kveta · 20/08/2011 06:49

hi mama5 -my cycles have been really irregular since they returned after having DS, so they vary from about 26-40 days. the last 2 were more like 40 days, but that's no guarantee that this one would be too. I felt very iffy the past 2 or 3 days, so thought I'd try a test, and shockingly it had a line! think by my calculations the due date is anywhere from 27th April to 5th of May, so god knows what's going on!! will be testing again tomorrow anyway, between retches :o and it was a sainsbos cheapy test :)

Catsycat · 19/08/2011 19:45

Quenelle, that's interesting! Clearly your DH is a wizard!!! Grin Hadn't really thought about the wee smelling different, but you're right...

Catsycat · 19/08/2011 19:44

can't obviously

Catsycat · 19/08/2011 19:43

Evil old witch! Tell her to do one.... You can' have done all that sexification for nothing!!!!

Rusulka · 19/08/2011 18:58

WTF?

I thought the witch was dead, but she snuck up on me earlier and bitch-slapped me with the ruby slippers. What's going on with my downstairs?
And what's the point of being sexificated if the road's blocked off?

ARGH!

ps. not ovulating.

Quenelle · 19/08/2011 17:15

Catsycat Do you know how your wee smells different in early pregnancy? Sort of like sugar puffs? I think I had that smell emanating from my whole body last time, perhaps it's the smell of HcG. Anyway, DH could smell it. He believes he has actual magical powers I think.

Oh and the runs and coldy symptoms are both good signs of pg, definitely

desperateoldie67 · 19/08/2011 15:09

As long as they stay well away from my nasal passages, that's fine with me LOL! :o

Catsycat · 19/08/2011 15:02

Hahahahaaaaa DO67!!! Have cleaned 3 toilets this morning, so all things lavatorial are particularly close to my heart atm!!!

desperateoldie67 · 19/08/2011 14:51

That'd be "gooooooood"!!! Shit, my brain!

desperateoldie67 · 19/08/2011 14:50

Positivity is goooooog Quenelle

STOP thinking about my BMs Catsy - you're right, it's quite wrong! But also quite funny! Awww crap, despite my BFN the other day, I can't help feeling that I really am pregnant - the nausea is the thing that's really tipping me over the edge on that one - in which case, I'm scheduling in my nervous breakdown as soon as I get a BFP! Then I have to tell the OH...oh this is going to be fun!

And yes, Catsy, I've seen plenty of things about sore throats and cold symptoms being a sign of pregnancy! Weird things, human bodies...

Catsycat · 19/08/2011 14:46

LMAO at Quenelle's DH following her around sniffing... Has he elaborated on what is different, or is that too personal a question Grin???

Catsycat · 19/08/2011 14:43

Sorry about AF chocolate, but as you say, September will be your month :)

Excellent work Kveta!!! Very pleased for you :)

Heidi, wishing you luck with SWI!!!

DO67 having the runs is definitely a sign of pg! I had it last time and looked it up, and loads of people have had it during early pg!!!!!!! See, now I'm getting excited about someone elses BMs, which is just wrong, wrong, wrong!!!!!!

Is a horrible sore throat a sign or symptom - have had it all morning, and it really hurts :( (sore throats always turn me into a bit of a patheetic baby!).

Quenelle · 19/08/2011 14:40

Bad luck ChocolateWindmill Sad

Kveta congrats on your BTBSFP! When were you due to test? How early did you crack?

I went to The Asda at lunchtime, and it was only as I was getting back in the car that it occurred to me I could have bought a pg test. I wouldn't have though, I am afraid of tempting fate if I get too ahead of myself.

We're going camping on my AF due date (29th) so if I'm still in the game that week I will plan to test on the Friday when I get back. Unless DH's nose suggests there is no doubt, then I may test earlier.

Doh! Look at me getting all ahead of myself again!

ChocolateWindmill · 19/08/2011 14:32

Thanks for the sympathy guys, I'm trying not to get too down about it! I didn't really feel very pregnant this month anyway. I don't know how to describe it, since I have no idea what being pregnant feels like!

So yeah, September is going to be the month. Everyone in my family (except my dad) was born in May, so I have high hopes!

HeidiHole · 19/08/2011 14:04

aw chocolate that sucks but you ARE STILL in the running for a May baby it sounds like :) Enjoy your drink tonight, the silver lining or whatever!

HeidiHole · 19/08/2011 14:03

oh my goodness kveta! cross posts there it took me so long to read all that i'd missed. Amazing news. Wow so many people are getting great news this is a lucky thread (i hope!!)

What day are you going to POABOS? I couldn't wait if I was you i'm so impatient, I can't even keep sticks in the house I just use them. My DH is like "you're peeing on money here" hahaha

desperateoldie67 · 19/08/2011 14:02

Gah, sorry to hear that Chocolate. That sucks. Although the G&T sounds very nice :)

Bwahahahaha....I like the idea of you pouncing on DH and simply DEMANDING fertilisation Heidi

ChocolateWindmill · 19/08/2011 13:58

UGH. Stupid AF turned up last night. In full force. stupid f**g b**h Angry

Very annoyed. But it least it means I can have a nice G & T after work today.

On the plus side, I could still just have a May baby what with AF being early, so I'm going to add myself to the bottom of the list again!

Rusulka I am going to take a leaf out of your book and make a plan for the rest of this month. Sexify myself, buy some pretty undies, light some candles and SW an much I as humanly possible! Grin
