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.

Hi sammy! Smile

spinningirl10 · 24/04/2014 15:58

Haha spotti I can't link the site but its called 'the fertile garden', its got Etsy in the web address but it's a US site. Lots of reviews of bracelets where ladies say they've got a bfp after receiving their bracelet!

kurama · 24/04/2014 15:51

mel it the solid did stay for 2 days but i have 3 packs so just took another applicater out and used that Blush i am treating it as false even tho i had ov pains but no ewcm so will keep dtd eod just in case Wink DragonDragonDragon roar!!!! lol
sorry too see so many over from the april bus. may WILL be our month!!

Spotti · 24/04/2014 15:23

Spinning don't show me more 'fertility' stuff! I love my dragon egg necklace but I really don't need really really WANT a fertility bracelet although if you show me the link then it might just find it's way into the post Wink

sammyj85 · 24/04/2014 14:37

Ooh can I join please?

Sammyj85 ttc#1 cycle 3 bfp due may 10th.

just waiting for the smiley face before the dtd marathonbbegins!

spinningirl10 · 24/04/2014 14:29

I've just ordered a fertility bracelet, it has stones that are said to aid fertility! I must have lost the plot as I don't usually go for this kind of stuff but it wasn't expensive so I thought its got to be worth a tryGrin and by the law of sod I'll probably get my bfp before it arrives!!

lindamagoo · 24/04/2014 13:38

Brummie I use concieve plus which I'm sure is pretty much the same as preseed and I just put it in 10 mins before dtd or even just put it on oh just before we do it

Brummiegirl15 · 24/04/2014 13:22

Thanks for the stats English

Preseed arrived yesterday from Amazon. Anyone used it before?

Problem is me and DP tend to be morning people - TMI I know! - because we are frankly so shattered. Which does concern me about how Id cope with dc but hey ho.

Therefore do I have to get up and use before DTD in the morning or use night before??

Questions!!!!!

BearsInMotion · 24/04/2014 13:00

Thanks hanflan - it's only cycle 3 so I'm trying not to be too down! Just seems a long time until 22 May!

lindamagoo · 24/04/2014 12:53

The last twice I've been to the bathroom today I've had the tiniest bit of blood on wiping! I'm so getting my hopes up just to be let down I think Hmm cd 19 though so IB maybe?

hotcrossbabblehag · 24/04/2014 12:05

that'll be the third jack the same as me.

JacktheLab · 24/04/2014 11:59

I'm here! Lurking on the two week wait, but my stats are;

Twojacks 36 ttc #2 bfp due week on sat whatever that date is?

lindamagoo · 24/04/2014 11:50

That's what I said to her, new chapter of a new story Smile

hanflan · 24/04/2014 11:46

Oh crap, sorry Bear. This bus is filling up rapidly, let's hope we get lots of bfps this month!

BearsInMotion · 24/04/2014 11:42

AF arrived so I'm definitely on this bus now :(

Bearsinmotion, TTC#2, Cycle 3, BFP due 22 May.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 24/04/2014 11:35

Linda actually after I mAde the initial decision, no it wasn't that hard. It was all doable after that. It's taken a while, but I have so much more now. I would say it was probably the making of me. While I was on maternity I started my website. The rest is now history. In my experience it's easy to love a baby. Despite her circumstances currently it's never the end of the story, just a new chapter. And a lovely one at that. Smile

MrsExtraOrdinary · 24/04/2014 11:15

codeine is my friend today! Wink

hotcrossbabblehag · 24/04/2014 11:10

my stats are babblehag 31 ttc#3 cycle #1 AF/bfp due may 3rd

I was gossipwitch, now babblehag going to drop the hot cross soon

broodysnoopstie · 24/04/2014 11:01

Thanks for stats English. sympathy my af is bloody torture this month!

Kurama you aren't supposed to keep testing when you have had solid smiley or the sticks will think it's a new cycle. Just dtd like a crazy person for 48 hours or so... as I think it stays fixed for two days indicating you will ov in those 2 days... People ov as early as CD 6 so maybe you are an early ovulater!

lindamagoo · 24/04/2014 10:59

MrsE it must have been a tough time for you, I know it has been for my friend and she only has 1 ds. I believe 100% she can do this without his help and her family will come round eventually and I will never let her down. And I think her life will be so much better now that she's chose the path she wants to go down Smile

MelMc73 · 24/04/2014 10:53

kurama - I would say the solid smiley was false and you should go with the new flasher. As soon as you get a solid smiley it should stay there for 48 hours and you shouldn't be able to test during that time. I found this info on the cb website which explains more about how it works...uk.clearblue.com/clearblue-ovulation-test-range/clearblue-digital-ovulation-test-with-dual-hormone-indicator

MrsExtraOrdinary · 24/04/2014 10:53

Linda I'm so pleased for you and your friend. I can honestly say I was in exactly the sand situation with dc4. Divorced with 3 dc under 8, skint, tiny house, nightmare ex who told me I'd make everyone's life a living hell if I had the baby, which was the final straw. It was the last time anyone tried to dictate my life. Life got so much better from that point. I had the birth I chose and the life I chose. With friends like you it will be so much easier for her Smile

lindamagoo · 24/04/2014 10:42

I'm in a very positive mood about this month Smile even if I don't get my bfp my best friend has decided to keep her baby, going against a lot of people's wishes but doing what is right for her, very proud of her Smile

toothachereturns · 24/04/2014 10:30

MrsExtraO - sounds nasty. Sad

English - wow I had no idea there were so many of us on this thread now. Well done for keeping track. Thank you!!! Smile

Im cd8 and classing my positive opk result yesterday as a bit of an error. DTD this morning anyway though. Grin

If it was an accurated positive then my bfp is due much sooner and I'm having a very strange cycle. Hmm

EnglishGirlAbroad · 24/04/2014 10:28

Oh shite....sorry Star!! Will adjust next time!! Smile
