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 :)

Can I join in too please?
Hi running thread friend Quenelle

Right. Well we're after a #3. Been trying for about 3 months. Nuffink. And so I have a question for you, oh wise ones. Smile

Clockwork period: from day 1 to the next period is 27 days although last month was 2 days late (25th july). I'm only just today getting EWCM. And if i'm expecting a period in 7 days time, isn't that a bit late? I'm just assuming it would be right in the middle of both periods? And again assuming that EWCM means ovulation and time to be shagging at every opportunity over the next few days?

Any help or advice would be gratefully received.

HeidiHole · 13/08/2011 15:51

3cb oh very exciting I'm sure thats definitely a +ve result!

mskatemc i'm so sorry :( this doesn't sound like a good day for you, I hope your doggy gets better soon? Im on CD5 so you're only 4 days behind me... we can both be waiting together now for trying again this cycle which WILL result in a positive test! And it'll still have a May due date so all is not lost!

Rusulka I just cannot work out whats happening with you! You must be SO frustrated. I bet you just want AF to bloody well come if she's coming.. and if not then where on earth is the BPF. I hope this resolves soon... with a positive! Keep updating us.

mamainthemaking eeeek how exciting! well done, what great news. Hopefully a few more will follow in your footsteps.

catsy how confusing... the urge to test and test is so great isn't it? I think you should put it down to the fact that those one's arent as sensitive as before. Definately test again as soon as AF is officially late. Good luck!

I've brought some pre-seed from amazon after reading that the 'moisture' can help the sperm in it's uphill swimming if you aren't particularly 'wet' naturally. Now I'm not dry, but i don't produce masses so thought maybe the sperm would like a hand! so we'll see how that goes!

Catsycat · 13/08/2011 15:03

I got TWO BFNs this morning - one cheapie from the pharmacy (but when I checked the leaflet it was a less sensitive test than the ones yesterday), and one CBD (out of date, 2 for £5 from eBay!). Serves me right for testing again. Did not have to go to the loo at all last night, and not weeing as much this morning, so wondering if that's it for me - there were definitely lines yesterday morning though. Bought a 2 pack of FR in Tesco, AF due tomorrow, so might test again then or Monday if the old witch doesn't show up!

Well done fellow POASers who got there lines confirmed!

MsKate my cat has broken his tooth, and has to have it taken out next week under a general. He is also having a lump taken off his foot at the same time. He is 14, so quite old - hoping he comes home again! So I feel for your dog! Sorry about AF - but is there time for you to get a May DD next cycle???

Mama5isalive · 13/08/2011 13:05

ohhhhhhhh i was so hoping to wake up to loads of BFP!!!!!!!!!!
but i will still say Congrats to you 3cb, Rusulka - i have had good results from my CBD so its strange but i guess all pee is different - and if the cheapies work for you then take that and say yeh your pregnant!!!!!!!!!!
so sorry for your AF arrival and your dog being in hospital - i pray all is well!
So the pains went from yesterday so i can only imagine my fertile window is now fading but feeling very positive so we just have to wait and see! trying not to think about it too much!
getting myself ready to go shopping with the DCx5 - oh the fun!!!!!!!NOT!!!!!!!

mskatemc · 13/08/2011 12:20

So, my dog is in hospital and my period's come on.

Great.

puzzletree · 13/08/2011 11:19

To all you testers, I've never used those digital tests, and in the past have always just used supermarket of superdrug own brand cheapies and got very clear BFPs first time, day after AF due. Have got a load of the internet test strips now but have only used them to wait for a negative after mc, they seemed pretty sensitive as it took a few weeks of fading positives to get to a negative test. I'd say a line is a line too, but gp should be able to help if you want confirmation.

orangehead · 13/08/2011 10:37

A line is a line 3cb, so I wouldnt worry
Rusulka from quite a few other buses its been evident the digital are as not sensitive and as the normal line ones. Again its these companies trying to make more money out of us. Infact it seemed on other other buses that superdrug ones were more sensitive, but I have never used one

threecurrantbuns · 13/08/2011 10:25

No its isn't the norm for me to have that many night time toilet trips although I've been like it for a week. It's the 10mIu tests I have used aswell used them with my last two dcs So if they are positives I would say you are pregnant.

MammaInTheMaking · 13/08/2011 10:22

Hi rusulka I got a BFN with a CB digital and thought they were the best etc. That was on 3-4 days late. Thought that was it for sure. Then been testing on Internet cheapies and a tescos one and they are all unmistakably BFP. This is on 8-9 days late. So basically I'm pregnant!!!!!!! Please don't lose hope. keep testing on the Internet ones/own brands.

3cb it sounds very much like a BFP to me!

I've only just moved to this area so not even got a GP yet. Hehe, still shaking!

Tibbycat · 13/08/2011 10:10

Rusulka, don't lose hope yet. Not sure if you saw my post earlier this week but for my mum with both my sister and I, pregnancy tests didn't work until very late in the pregnancy. It was only after three months of very light periods that she went to the GP with a suspected 'sick bug/bacterial gut infection' as was constantly feeling sickie that they told her she was pregnant with a blood test as our parents were not ' trying ' as such. I'm 30 so 30 years ago you could blame the technology of a test but sister is just 14 and things have not changed that much over the past 14 years. The doctor told her sometimes some women just don't respond to pregnancy tests, about 1% of women.

I'm with the DH, go to the quacks and explain, they're likely to test blood.

Best of luck and try to keep calm and not let it ruin your weekend. Xx

Rusulka · 13/08/2011 09:09

Well I managed to go all night without getting up, so my FMU was as concentrated as it could get... the internet cheapie came up with a vague possible again, but my CBD came out with a BFN.

I'm gutted. I can understand what other people have said about preferring to have AF arrive than see the words 'not pregnant'.

Frankly, it's ruined our morning!

I still don't believe it. I'm convinced I'm pregnant. I got all those cramps 10 days before AF was due on day 28, and now it's day 32 with still no show. This is unheard of. DH thinks I should go to the doctors- it'll be a week late on Tuesday, so maybe I should book an appt for then.

3CB glad yours is looking more positive. Do you always have that many nocturnal wees? I've been trying not to drink anything in the last couple of hours before bed, and then that way I know my FMU is as strong as poss. Would that work for you?

I can't believe my first experience with a CBD has resulted in a BFN.
It was my understanding that digital ones were better, but my internet ones are 10mIU ones, so maybe they're picking up what the other one can't yet. Only time will tell, I guess.

FRUSTRATION!!!

Fingers crossed for everyone else testing this morning.

threecurrantbuns · 13/08/2011 07:59

Well was hoping for an early morning test resulting in a more definite test unfortunately my first morning wee was only two hours after my one of 3 night times wees! So the hormone concentration prob wasn't the strongest like it is supposed to be did another test anyway and got a very faint line again.

AstroNess · 12/08/2011 22:31

Wow. Congrats on all these positive results. What a lucky yacht we have boarded here.

I have no idea what's going on with my cycle and a severe shortage of SWI this month means I am not expecting anything to happen. Still, nice to see everyone graduating. Very proud Grin

MammaInTheMaking · 12/08/2011 21:45

Thanks ladies, i'm in shock but definitely need some more confirmation on it so cracking open another test in the morning.

Congratulations to the other BFPs - it's wonderful news.

And good luck to the SWIers :o

Will keep you updated.

Thanks catsy, the first one I lost at 12 weeks I asked if I could see the remains (had a erpc) and they said no you dont want to see that.

festiemum · 12/08/2011 20:09

Just wanted to add my congrats to all the BFPs that have turned up today! It's really great! Hope those of you that are anxious about getting more confirmation get it, but as far as I'm aware- a line is a line - it's false negs that are the problem with HPTs not the other way around!

:o :o :o

Catsycat · 12/08/2011 19:52

Thanks again - hope it is just the lack of fmu at work here (not temporary insanity this morning!).

mamma & threecb that's great! Will be thinking of all of you fellow testers in the morning! Think we are definitely setting a synchronised POAS record Rusulka!

Thanks puzzletree - I know you know how messed up I am over this! I have one more test in the house to crack open in an obsessive frenzy tomorrow...

orangehead, the doctor asked me when he was discharging me, if I wanted to keep the remains (after the lab had taken samples), or if I wanted them to dispose of them. They are preserved in Formalin, and sealed in a plastic bag, then placed in a plastic tub. I don't know if it is new policy to ask, or just Warwick's policy, but IME Warwick have an exceptionally caring attitude to their patients which might explain the openness about this.

puzzletree · 12/08/2011 19:27

Wowsers this thread moves fast! And BFPs!!!!! Congrats ladies, hoping so much that these pregnancies work out for you, we want a baby boom next may!
Catsycat do you have a test to do in the morning, it must be still so very early that you'd need concentrated urine to get a good result. Hope you're ok, your emotions must be all over the place, but if this turns out to be a proper BFP I am over the moon for you!

MammaInTheMaking · 12/08/2011 18:46

Omg I'm shaking.... Just did my first Amazon cheapie. One of those with a blue top and the black max line and got 2 clear red lines in the bingo area. One line a little fainter than the other. Ran to tescos and got another test which will be much easier to read. Will do in the morning. Pretty sure this is a BFP!!!!!! Grin omg!!!
