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.

Haha just went on ebay for preseed and found lawn fertilizer....

Does this work the same way lol

kurama · 22/04/2014 14:57

wow thats amazing! why do i feel like a child in a sweet shop today?! lol. welcome to any newbies

mrshjb · 22/04/2014 14:47

Brummie 52 wks paid mat leave is amazing!!

mrshjb · 22/04/2014 14:46

Hahaha Bella love the story!!

Brummiegirl15 · 22/04/2014 14:45

Right that's it, AF has arrived so I'm definitely on this May bus!!

A bit disappointed but knows it's to be expected. Plus I am in a right quandary now as just seen an amazing job I want to apply for - which kind of throws the baby making into a bit of a tizz. I know it shouldn't matter but can't help feeling it does!!

I get 3 months pay maternity leave in my current role so staying put isn't an issue - but this other job is a corker - plus offers 52 weeks paid maternity leave after you've been there 26 weeks which is incredible!!!

Haven't even sent application off yet but full of what if what. Ifs. That said, I know I shouldn't put all eggs in one basket so to speak and I know fate will decide.

Anyway enough rambling... My stats are:

Brummiegirl, 37, TTC #1 cycle 2, BFP 18th May EDD 27th January

Have ordered the preseed!!!

bellaboo88 · 22/04/2014 14:40

Can I be a June passenger please?

Bellaboo88, age 26, TTC#1 Cycle 3, BFP 8th June (that's aaages!!)

Crazy to think I came off the pill at 25 & earliest I'll become a mum is just before I'm 27!

My dp also doesn't understand the process...whilst he's at work, I text him a story & write it in a filmish way. His men are the heroes & have to break into the mother ship on the special day the defences are lowered...that day is ectoplasm....I.e ewcm. Now if I say ectoplasm, he understands!

Is it may yet? I've not even ov'd yet. Waste of an egg :-(

Edd would be end of Feb which works out miles better tho xx

Sparrowlegs248 · 22/04/2014 14:37

Just popping in while at work.

hibou I know what you mean about dtd to order. I have been vague on purpose with DH but this resulted in us not dtd yesterday. I got a smiley sunday - dtd. Thought we could yesterday a.m. But didn't, was grumpy. Tried again last night but still didn't. When i say tried - I am not good at initiating, so can't really blame dh as he is in the dark somewhat. I obvs need to have a conversation with him (and try again tonight.....)

mrshjb · 22/04/2014 13:14

broodysnoopstie · 22/04/2014 12:27

oh yes of course english I remember you saying you were coming home on April Bus. Well fx for you.. If it gives you hope I booked a docs appt to get period kick started and now it's turned up I said to dp it was the threat of the docs! :)

hanflan · 22/04/2014 12:24

lindamagoo I am also curious about the cough syrup! When I first came off the pill a couple of years ago I had loads of ewcm around ovulation, but now I only have a tiny bit, if any! Thinking about chugging the grapefruit juice to help things along this month.

hanflan · 22/04/2014 12:22

I don't think I have given my official stats either!
hanflan, 29, ttc#1, cycle 2, bfp due May 14th!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 22/04/2014 12:19

Broody, yep mine have been all over the place since an early mc at the beginning of the year. Not seen a doctor yet, but we move back to the UK next month so will book as soon as I get back. Hoping obviously that i ovulate soon and won't need to!!

rambini · 22/04/2014 12:16

Morning (or almost afternoon!) all. Hello to all the new ladies moving over from the April bus too....sorry to hear no BFP's though. There seems to be a lot of you down in the dumps for one reason or another so this is for you....Cake Thanks. Hope you all feel better soon xxx. Hibou, sorry for the problems with DH...they can be so insensitive sometimes.

Busy Easter weekend for me....DH and I are at it like easter bunnies (sorry tmi!!).....we're on our 3rd flashing smiley in a row so going for it everyday....just waiting for that solid smiley now to confirm if I'm going to ov or not. Hoping it will be tomorrow as the opk line was almost same as control line today after being quite faint the last 2 days. On CD11 at the moment and the fertility friend app says I should OV tomorrow. Fingers crossed. I'm feeling really positive this month.

lindamagoo what is the cough medicine called you've been taking?
Must also get some grapefruit juice or presumably eating grapefruit has the same effect?! I love grapefruit....bonus Grin!

kurama · 22/04/2014 12:04

kurama ttc#1 cycle 20ish bfp 12th may Grin ovulating today. horray to clomid finally kicking in after 3 months. cd 10 and solid smiley Smile
