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 :)

CATSY - C'mon And Try Sh*ing Y'all????? Or is that just crude rather than an acronym?????

Kveta · 28/07/2011 11:01

hmm, LouLou is difficult. Loulou's Ovulation Urgency (twice?!) ?!

Kveta also difficult.

Kveta's Vertical Energetic Take Away?! OK, that's just words, not really an acronym of any use :o

anyone else? I'm supposed to be working... :o

KUMQUAT, I like it! I'm so not sitting at work trying to think of my own loulou-based acronym right now...

well done on the stats loulou!!

Quenelle · 28/07/2011 09:35

Hello everyone. Well done on some first class administration with the stats loulou.

DH came home last night from 3 nights working away, he's raring to go with the old KQTUAAT routine. I told him that with AF due on Tuesday he should cool his boots (and other things) for a week or so. I'm saving my energy for the SWI marathon that starts sometime after next weekend.

festiemum congrats on your wedding Smile

Hi Festie and thanks for updating the stats - wow good luck with the wedding and BFP - busy times!

lindsell - I'm with you on lack of AF knowledge - came of pill nearly theee weeks ago with no 'proper' periods for 10 yrs... who knows when they will return?! Just hoping I'm not one of those people who has to wait a year for their cycle to get back to normal :(

festiemum · 28/07/2011 08:44

Thanks mamma!

We are going to The Green Man. First year with all of us. Me, DP, my 3 and his 2! (we must be nuts!) Though, I took my 3 on my own last year, so it can't be harder than that, surely?!!

MammaInTheMaking · 28/07/2011 08:19

festimum which festival are you going to? Congratulations on your wedding, I hope you get the bestest present ever with a BFP!!!!!!

MammaInTheMaking · 28/07/2011 08:17

Haha! Dumb phone! I'm on my first DC. Grin

festiemum · 28/07/2011 08:09

Hello all, this is a good group! Have updated the stats, but some phone posters have ended up TTC %232 etc, so not sure where you are actually Lindsell and Mammainthemaking!!! (presuming you don't actually have over 200 dcs: thought me and threecurrantbuns were nuts enough ttc #4!! Grin)

AstroNess 28 TTC #1 AF due 19th Aug ish
Catsycat 38 (Joining Quenelle in an eek!) ttc #3 AF due 13th August (ish??)
Festiemum 37 TTC #4 AF due 18th August
Kveta 29 TTC #2 (DC1 Sep 09) AF due around end of aug, depending on what cycle is up to Grin
Lindsell29 ttc%232 no idea on AF as never have it when on pill! Grin
Louloubella 27 TTC #1 AF due ?? (soon pleeease)
MammaInTheMaking(26) TTC %231 AF due (but very much not welcome) 4th August
Quenelle 42 (eek!) TTC #2 (DS Jun 09) AF due 2 Aug (currently PMT'd to the eyeballs)
Threecurranntbuns TTC#4 AF due 14th August ish

Few of us due mid August, so that's going to be a tense time! I'm actually getting married on August the 17th, and then I'm off to a festival, so I've got a double reason to hope for a BFP (Ooh, and just realised I probably won't be able to drink after the wedding just in case. Might have to invest in some ultra early POASs - any recommendations?!)

lindsell · 27/07/2011 23:48

Can I join too? I'd love a may baby but only going to start ttc next week so may be wishful thinking! Still conceived Ds within 2wks of stopping the pill so here's hoping for the good old hormone rush again!

I can't copy either on my phone but my stats are

MammaInTheMaking · 27/07/2011 21:47

here are my stats :) Kveta 29 TTC DC2 (DC1 Sep 09) AF due around end of august, depending on what my cycle is up to :o

I'm feeling so lazy tonight. DH and I have been putting off S(W or without I) the past few nights because DS has been sleeping so badly (amongst other things). So I've just ordered pizza so we can slum it on the sofa for an hour or two and regroup, then think about bed early tonight :o

Hi Astro Grin welcome!

Come to think of it, we don't have any stats going yet.. I'm similar to you though; 27, ttc #1 but AF due god knows when... Do people want stats or not (can you sense my laziness?!) Happy to do if desired.

AstroNess · 27/07/2011 18:33

OK. I'm in for a May baby. Here's my bits:

I didn't even think of the benefits of having a baby in May; now it's seeming more and more appealing :)

Still not sure on the AF situation; thought it was but now nothing. Could it be spotting...? Very very unlikely, yes. Quenelle I second you with needing to get a grip!
