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 duchess and missmrs, hope the doc can Shes some light on that for you miss.

Linda....I thought about temping but it seems like quite an art! You do have to have had unbroken sleep for 4 hours I believe and you have to take temp at same time and before you even get out of bed. I'm sure someone who temps will tell you moreGrin

Hi MissMrs, hope the doctor can shed some light on why ov is causing that. In regards to temping, does it only work if your are able to take it as soon as you wake up after a certain length of time sleeping?

MissMrsMummy · 24/04/2014 07:21

Hi all

Hope you're doing ok. I gave been taking a 'back seat' as I haven't been feeling too well. I have had severe cramping/bloating around ovulation for a few months now and think something is wrong Sad seeing my GP tomorrow.

Quick stats review as I am temping so I know my actual ov day! How exciting.

MissMrsMummy ttc#1 cycle#6 BFP 6May

I am using an app called Kindara which I have just discovered and it's fab! You can add your temp daily and it makes a pretty graph for you Smile

Hi all, jumping on board.

My stats are theduchesse ttc#2 cycle 5 bfp due 21st may.

Well my app says my bfp is due on 21st May anyway, it could really be due anytime, I've had 2 almost 60 day cycles and the last one was 40 days but my app is still obsessed with me being a normal 28dayer! I'm really hoping this most recent shorter cycle means I might be getting back to normal. It's so frustrating only getting a shot once every 2 months.

toots123 · 24/04/2014 06:59

Morning all! Hope everyone is well and opking!
I have my second flashing smiley but we are dtd every second day to cover all bases. I should ovulate between Saturday and Monday so we shall keep going until im sure its happened.

toots123 ttc#1 cycle 5 bfp due 11th may

EnglishGirlAbroad · 23/04/2014 20:59

I think you've probably covered all bases there Linda, so fx what ever day you ov'd!
Thanks... Really hoping that this month is a bit more 'normal' despite the late ov.

lindamagoo · 23/04/2014 20:49

English we kept going until Monday so if it was late ov we are still in with a chance Smile Fingers crossed for you now with your +opk Smile

EnglishGirlAbroad · 23/04/2014 20:37

Welcome Misty, Hope you're not travelling on the buses for too long!

Thanks Spinning.... gonna pin dh down for the next 3 nights!!

Linda when did you last dtd?? Did you keep going?

lindamagoo · 23/04/2014 20:16

Welcome misty, good luck to you Smile

Well it looks as though cervical Lucas has finally left me Smile so I'm now left wondering if my opk was wrong and I ovulated late (if at all) or if af is coming early. Hmmmm this sucks Sad

kurama · 23/04/2014 20:14

ive never seen lines like that on an ic!!! so thats what it looks like lol. still getting the same cramps as last month but a week early, so ive decided to dtd as if it is actually a + result on cb digi but continue testing just in case Dragon ahhhh just on laptop so im using it Easter Grin Dragon
hope everyones doing well this week

mistywillow17 · 23/04/2014 20:06

Can I jump on please? I’ve been lurking on the buses for ages, but can finally get on board! TTC #1, Cycle 1, BFP due 16th May I think, although cycles haven’t been all that consistent since coming off pill in January.

Not really expecting much success this early on – I am pushing 33, DH is in his 40s, and there is a chance he may have fertility issues due to some health problems in recent years – and I am fully expecting to be hanging around here for months to come – but it feels so good to finally be able to officially start trying! (and hoping all the hints and tips I have been picking up here will come in handy along the way…)

spinningirl10 · 23/04/2014 19:42

Yay, so pleased you got your positive opk English, theres no disputing that line!!

And Tooth jump on dh quick :)

hotcrossbabblehag · 23/04/2014 19:28

I do get reoccurring water infections a lot anyway, and I'm putting the symptoms down to the water infection. I normally have those symptoms pre infection, also I thought it was a bit soon for symptoms I don't get AF until 3rd may.

toothachereturns · 23/04/2014 19:08

Hotcross - sounds promising! ! Although urine infections are rubbish. Sad But also a promising sign. Wink

toothachereturns · 23/04/2014 19:07

LOL Spotti!!

Spotti · 23/04/2014 18:48

Get DTD then toothache! Might be a dodgy OPK that's just being weird...but just in case its actually showing you're about to OV, I'd pounce on OH now and be done with it Wink.

LOLing at my iPad remembering my last 'paste' was the code for Dragon Grin

hotcrossbabblehag · 23/04/2014 18:44

I've been symptom spotting for the last few days, I've had a dull ache around my pubic area, the occasional twinge, feeling a bit queasy, hot flushes, a breakout of spots (but put that down to chocolate) and feeling a bit spacey!!!
This afternoon I have a water infection ffs!

toothachereturns · 23/04/2014 18:44

Test line has gone even darker after 3 mins...... Hmm

toothachereturns · 23/04/2014 18:39

Help! I'm cd7 and just peed on an opk.... the 2 lines are as dark as each other! That means it's positive right?? It's a bit early in my cycle and I'm having absolutely no ovulation cramps (quite bad last month).
I'm very confused!!!!!Confused

kurama · 23/04/2014 17:08

my preseed arrived today! pounced on dh when we got home today and now joining in with you ladies and udp..... also recieved a parcel which has gone in baby stuff cupboard and waiting on someone delivering another lol dh is gonna kill me when he sees the play mat and baby carrier but 15 instead of 65 and 30 instead of 70 I love 2nd hand stuff! Grin Grin Grin

Brummiegirl15 · 23/04/2014 15:58

Thanks viperama and everyone else saying apply for it. I have sent it off - because let's face it this opportunities don't come along very often.

However I and going to continue TTC and see what happens. I'm only trying now for the first time as all ex boyfriends before DP were utter knobs and I was then single for 8 years!!!!! So first time trying for me and DP as his ex was so much older than him and they never got round to it.

Anyway email from Amazon - my preseed is being delivered today. Hurrah!!!!

lindamagoo · 23/04/2014 15:39

Star I've got my ic tests just waiting to be peed on, will do one on Friday for the same reason Smile

Starbright24 · 23/04/2014 15:32

I have to admit I did poas this morning - yes I know , way too early as only 7 dpo - but just to see in case we didn't have to go through the tests. Of course it was all shiny and white. Not even a hint of an imaginary line.

good luck english Grin
