So I couldn't find a May thread, so I thought I'd start one for all of us who have dropped off the April thread.

Aunty arrived this morning so I 've just started cycle 4. TTC #2. Just had a long cycle so if this is the same length my most fertile time will be over Easter weekend.

So I might go all pagan and invoke some Spring fertility goddess. Or something. Or piss on some sticks.

?? Good luck, Spring Goddesses.

He he fancy you make me chuckle. Sorry to see you here (although technically if AF hasn't arrived yet then you won't be judged for jumping off the bus when your BFP shows up :)).

Why can't I think of any words to join in this fun game? Hmph.

Gash. Nice one.

Suppose I'd better introduce myself to the May bus, big hello to the newbies in particular, happy to see you here and in the nicest possible way I hope I don't have to see you all here for long and that you graduate quickly!

I'm the lone ranger from the April bus - everyone has buggered off and left me like the drunk person who falls asleep, misses their stop and ends up at the depot. That's me.

Af was due yesterday. BFNs on ICs. AF symptoms and a stonking cold.

TTC#1. Coming to the end of cycle 3. Will add my dates when af finally arrives and I can work out the May arrival.

I also like to think of words that make you cringe and shudder for being disgusting. PROLAPSE.

Thanks again chandlers it is expensive but at least may give me a better idea of what the chuff my body is doing?! Just have to let this month do its thing and hopefully will be clearer next month though obviously i wont need it to as il have my bfp by then

Deffo a symptom kurama haha

hanflan · 27/04/2014 17:01

I am a happy bunny today! I have never had any luck getting a smiley with opk, then was advised that it is better to test later in the day rather than FMU. This afternoon I got a big fat SMILEY! My first one! Along with some ovulation pains just to confirm. Told DH it might be a good time, he was happy to oblige haha. Fingers crossed it works this month Grin

kurama · 27/04/2014 15:48

welcome to the house of fun newbies! lol. still feeling sick. couldnt face have a choc milkshake my favourite as thinking about it made me feel sick, but I managed a glass of milk..... symptom ???? DragonGrin

Welcome to the madness chandlers!

ChandlersFarang · 27/04/2014 14:41

I'm currently 2 DPO on my first ever 2WW!! Am excited about all the symptoms I will inevitably dream up over the next fortnight, having read lots of the posts on the previous threads!! Grin

spinningirl10 · 27/04/2014 14:26

Victoria, I would poas.

Ooh my late night post makes me sound really rude!! It was only that I really wanted dessert and when the waitress cleared our main course plates and we asked for dessert menu she said 'oh chefs gone home now'.....very odd, it wasn't even late!

Anyway 8dpo, no symptoms really, I feel a bit sick but that's more likely be from too many glasses of wine last night.

Welcome Newbies Grin

victoria401 · 27/04/2014 14:05

Isn't it too late for that?. Ovd on cd12 and yesterday was cd28. Believe me it crossed my hopeful mind! It was just odd that I had no spotting or cramps pre af, no cramps yesterday just a bit of blood that I plugged. When I took first tampon out it was full so I replaced it but when I took that out last night there was just a smudge of brown and I've not needed anything since! Have a liner on just incase it starts again.

ChandlersFarang · 27/04/2014 13:59

Victoria - weird... could be an implantation bleed!!

victoria401 · 27/04/2014 13:53

Yay, genni, you came!

I'm confused as af only lasted the morning yesterday. A single tampons worth with some brown and a streak of red (tmi!) Nothing else so far today. What could it mean?! Anyone had this?

kurama · 27/04/2014 13:45

had a few stabby pains again today and been feeling sick for a few evenings. and I felt sick during a car ride im normaly fine with dh says its coz it was foggy so I couldnt see were we were going properly as I do get travel sick on longer journeys. I say sympton! as if I ovd when I think I did im 6dpoSmile howz everyone today?

ChandlersFarang · 27/04/2014 13:29

And congrats star!!! And hi to all the new passengers Smile

ChandlersFarang · 27/04/2014 13:26

Rambini - I used the CBFM for the first time this cycle as I told you earlier and also got a high reading on day 8. This stayed high all the way until day 25 when it gave up and stopped asking for sticks. I read that this is quite common as it starts to get used to your cycle... I actually ovulated on day 29!! It's annoying as it was an expensive purchase, but everything I was suggested it will settle down after a couple of cycles and get to know what levels of hormones are usually in your pee etc. It's very annoying though as we basically shagged ourselves to death all month and were almost too done in to manage many when I actually was fertile (I used OPKs after day 25). I'm not saying the exact same thing will happen to you as the above, but I did read it's quite a common problem on the first cycle. Sounds like you know better than the machine on this one! Hope this helps!! X x x

wannabesedated · 27/04/2014 13:05

Can I join? Been waiting ages to feel ready to try for #2 (initially thought we'd start this time last year but got The Fear when it came round) and I finally do, so am going to start shagging tonight. Day 11 now, hopefully we are in time to have a proper go this cycle.

Congratulations star!

ChaircatMiaow · 27/04/2014 12:46

Congrats star!

Spotti that is so true, if only a bfp could be bought on eBay!

gennibugs · 27/04/2014 12:40

Hello again to some very familiar faces and not so familiar.

I am now on the May bus due to AF hitting this morning. I have cried my tears, dusted myself off and ready to start again.

Stats are ttc#1 cycle 5 (for our 2013 attempt anyway!) BFP due 26 may. Which seems like such a long way away.

Plan for this month is to lose weight, reduce my stress levels by trying reflexology and just DtD more. Which is easier said than done but will try.

LadyCottington · 27/04/2014 11:37

Can I join you ladies? Currently on my TWW and it's driving me nuts. BFP is due on the 2nd but I have a day off tomorrow so might pop into town to get a test. I've been having crazy symptoms but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much!

toothachereturns · 27/04/2014 10:26

I seem to get weird fluctuating positive opk results. I've given up with those. Hmm

I'm on cd11 of a 28 day cycle. DH is always up for dtd...Annoyingly so at times!!!!! He's quite a bit older than me at 50 but it doesnt impede his horniness which is handy when ttc. But he had a vasectomy reversal last year.... and although his sperm results came back good, we were still warned that it may take longer. Confused

Anyone got any experience of people conceiving after a vasectomy reversal?

Spotti · 27/04/2014 10:11

Woooo star Grin.

I'm on day 10 here. First month using IC OPKs and since I'm not entirely sure when I OV, I've been using them since AF buggered off and already I'm bored! I never thought I'd say I'm bored of POAS, but OPKs are no where near as much fun as HPTs! Maybe the expensive smiley bastardsticks ones are more fun? Either way I've still only got the one line so I'm holding off DTD just yet - OH keeps hinting at doing it 'just for funsies' but I know what he's like and he'll lose interest/get distracted by the time my double line appears...I have a 35 day cycle and technically (according to the MN calculator thingymabob) could OV any time between day 12-14 which is what my cervix and EW Lucas showed me last month and day 22-24 soooooo it's either a 10 day shagathon (which OH says he's up for, but in reality life will definitely get in the way at some point probably the crucial few days) OR we hold off until we know we're targeting the right few days and then get on it like Sonic!

Wouldn't it be nice if TTC was just like eBay with a 'buy it now' button that we could click and then be done with it. I mean all this waiting around is hard enough, but then even when we get our sticky BFP, we've got 8/9 more months to wait before we get to meet our little dragons! Hmph. Can anyone tell I'm having an 'why can't things just go to plan?' sort of day Wink
