Moving on to May...Lets get start acting like Spring rabbits for BFPs in May.

Yay congrats star

English thank you, I thought I maybe ov'd a little later, damn got longer to wait for BFP now, lol

Yeeeeeah Star! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations star!! :)

He might need a few hours for it to sink in or days, weeks and months as some men do.

Dp woke up unwraped presents. I showed him stick. He grunted then carried on reading his car magazine. Meh!!
Wow! Lol

If and when I get a bfp I will out myself with my real last name. Because I'm going to need all the help I can to find a fabulous boys name that overshadows the last name and one of the 11 I haven't previously used, lol

I was born with a perfectly lovely maiden name, I had for 22 years, I then married an unusual name and proceeded to own that name (which I quite liked) although not completely without comedy for 10 years, to the last 2 years with the most ridiculous name in the world. But it was a choice to take it and important for dh. I remind him how lovely I am most of the time

No star... your dtd stats! The most important ones!

I had a teacher called Mrs Winterbottom! Got the nickname Chilly Arse!!

Love Constance!

www.soulcysters.net/showthread.php/222136-pine-cones-and-fertility crazy americans I think

am very intrigued mrse

Stats - age 38, ttc#1, cycle 5. BFP was due 1 May.
(only counting cycles from this year - cycle length 25 days)

I only collected my pine cones a couple of weeks ago after reading some daft forum (haha, it wasn't ours which is of course very sensible) and it was a lovely day for a walk

mrsE if it makes u feel better I know someone whos surname is sidebottom! I think thats worse lol. ossie may be a contender. my middle name is constance as well as its nans first name. any girl will def have either nellie (dhs late nans name) or her nickname jean

I'd happily stick to mrs bottom on here if it made my real name slightly better. When I found out dh had the said name I roared with laughter. In fact he didn't tell me he just showed me his driving licence. Little did I know I would have it one day . It's important to him i was prepared to use it. His own older children have their mothers name. Not double barrelled she completely excluded him from anything to do with their names. So when our ds was born it was the first that took his silly name. Tbh the only ones that laugh are dhs other dc. Probably been drummed into them by their mum being cruel. So the first name has to be utterly brilliant!

Linda - I'd say looking at your chart you ov'd at cd17, before the rise. Wouldn't worry about your temp neing the same. Are you using a basal body tmp thermometer? With 2 decimal points??

Kurama - what about Ossie? Better than Oswald. I have my nans name as one of my middle names... it's awful. My mum regrets it now. But the whole congregation at my wedding (Myself included) giggle when I had to say my full name!!

Rambini - you might just be having an early ov month... Or you could have a few more days of 'highs'. Either way its highly unlikely you'll have a 4 week LP! Your Lp in general doesn't change, will be the same regardless of when you ov.

Congrats againa Star!! Full stats please!!

Congratulations star really happy for you!
kurama we are ok on grandads names, both are nice (George and Thomas) but grandmothers names are both a bit old fashioned.
Quick quesrion. I am SOOOO confused. I usually have approx 36 day cycles. So according to my phone app and common sense I should ov about 2 weeks before eg day 22. I have just started using cfafm this month and poas this morning (cycle day 8) and got a high?! Im now massively confused. We dtd anyway (any excuse!) But does this mean i ov MUCH earlier than I thought? Wouldnt that mean my LP was like 4 weeks?! Aaarrgh?!

Totally not tmi star. That's exactly what I like to hear about dtd. I work day shift, DH works night shift and we have a toddler so we spend half the week taking it in turns to be in the house - someone needs to invent long distance dtd.

Congrats star! We dtd only 3 times last month on those exact days with no bfp. I'm off to get some pine cones! Oh actually can you even get them in the spring? Are they an autumn winter thing? Noooooo

Awww thanks for thinking of me duchess, appreciate it :-)

Duchess - I have had no contraception for a year. I havebeen ttrying for that long but dp wasn't completely so dtd was a bit sporadic. Been properly ttc since the new year when I had a tantrum and got upset with him and told him we needed to make more effort (ages 38 and 41 - today! - so not a lot of dtd generally)

This cycle. Dtd 2 days before ov. Ov day and 2 days after. Only 3 times in total. Tmi?

I put it down to my big heap of pine cones I collected which as downstairs and 1 beside my bed - fertilitysymbols

kai malcome oswald woolass.... lol suppose it doesnt look too bad. same as skylar nellie constance... lol gotta love grandparents names I suppose. not bothered about outing self as dont think anyone I know is on here

Wow just saw your post star. So glad you got it confirmed this morning. So so happy for you! How long had you been ttc for?

That's just rude spinning! Dessert is half the reason for going out for dinner!

kurama we have given DS a middle name I don't like after his grandfather but we figured that you so rarely use your middle name that it doesn't really matter.

Sorry to see you over here Victoria. I've been lurking on a few buses and always particularly hope to see your bfp.

I moved in with DH after we'd only been dating for a couple of months! And went on holiday together after only 3 dates. It wasn't a 'we knew we were destined to be together' thing though, I was just pretty footloose and fancy free and didn't plan much or have many belongings so it would be pretty easy to go our separate ways if things weren't working out.

Sorry to see you over here too Mrs Bottom. You might be stuck with that as your name now. I'm on cd5 now and getting over the disappointment of another cycle and just waiting to get started on opk's for the first time.

I'm the same about Isabelle blueberry. Love the name but it's just too popular. I might still use it if I get a girl though. I really like a lot of the nicknames that go with it and that makes me like it even more.

I'm really hoping for you linda. Can't help you with your pic though sorry. I have absolutely no idea about temping. If I don't get a bfp this month I might go down that line but right now I'm clueless.

After going for blood tests this week and getting dp to deposit in a cup to go to hospital. I got a BFP
better head back to april bus

yer ralph! my gdad goes by jim tho for some reason lol dont think any of his names goes with kai/ kaiden...

Haven't read back but what sort of a restaurant sends their staff home early!!! No dessert for me tonight!!!

Did Oswald have a middle name you could use instead.? All my boys are named after family. We've now run out of male family to name after.

I want mine and dhs grandads names as middle names but dont wanna inflict the poor child with oswald....even as a middle name. oh wat to do

DH was such a soppy git back then. If only he was as attentive now. He does say he loves me every 5 mins but sometimes it loses meaning if said too much?

Most of my friends had already started having kids before we started TTC so we didn't get jealous. I'm always happy for others that conceive tho as you don't know what their story is either most of the time.
