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.

Lindamagoo - just had to google soft cups when ttc and wow, ive never heard of those! Might give that a go. Smile

lindamagoo · 19/04/2014 15:18

We've used the softcups this cycle to see if they help, we dtd on cd7, cd9 and cd13 and we used the softcups on cd11, cd12 and cd14 so it's just a waiting game now Smile

lindamagoo · 19/04/2014 15:15

English will you try to get a gp appointment as soon as you move back?

EnglishGirlAbroad · 19/04/2014 10:36

I had my mc late dec/early jan and my body is STILL being an arse. I hope yours becomes more regular soon than mine seems to be Kitty! So bloody pissed off. Angry

lindamagoo · 19/04/2014 10:07

Thanks Kitty, wrote Tuesday instead of Wednesday for +opk, but that doesn't matter, lol.

Our bodies play funny buggers when ttc don't they? The ov thing is very confusing when it changes so much each cycle. I think this might actually be the first of me ovulating since stopping the pill. I'm getting my day 21 bloods done just to make sure it is happening Smile

KittyVonCatsington · 19/04/2014 09:56

I could be wrong but temp going up means you have just ovulated which makes sense for you-women normally ovulate 12 to 36 hours after a positive OPK. All sounds as if things are working as they should linda. Easter Grin

Sounds like more than can be said for me and English. CD19 for me and still a flashing smiley, with feint lines. Before mc, I got a positive result two months running on CD18 and ovulation pains CD19 and although was using cheapies in December with no positive result, got ovulation pains on CD19. My body seems to have forgotten what to do!

lindamagoo · 19/04/2014 09:34

Oh yeah and my temp has gone up today

lindamagoo · 19/04/2014 09:33

My body is confusing me girls! Positive opk on Tue, cd11, but my cervix is still very high and still lots of ewcm, so have I still not actually ov'd yet? Today is cd14.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 19/04/2014 06:35

Temping is more accurate MrsGinger, but it only tells you when you've ovulated. OPKs at least give you a heads up that's it's imminent, but they aren't always reliable. Hope that helps

MrsGingerbread · 19/04/2014 04:14

I tried opks last month and never got a positive either. Temping did show a peak though... Can temping prove I am ovulating? Or are opks more accurate?

kurama · 18/04/2014 22:58

im annoyed at mo dtd wed and now cant dtd till at least sun eve as dh is on all early starts this week and by time I finish work hes to tired to do anything.... not his fault but still.

Brummiegirl15 · 18/04/2014 22:36

Hey ladies, can I jump off the April bus and join this one? POAS today as AF due Tuesday and got a BFN.

Only on TTC#1 cycle 1 so I know I shouldn't expect much. But couldn't help feel a bit sad.

Anyhooo positive plan for the May bus and cycle 2 - gonna buy me some preseed and keep trying the cough medicine.

A mate today who has been together as long as DP and I have, announced her pregnancy on fb - happy for her, but made me think "I want that too"!!!

My Mum went through menopause at 36 and I desperately worry the same will happen to me and I'm 37. But I also need to stay positive, early days yet.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 18/04/2014 22:25

A +tive OPK will be as dark as the control, if it's not as dark it's not +tive. I started testing at cd7 and have had a few VERY feint lines and pretty much nothing the past couple of days. Using my cbfm in the morning and ic in the afternoon. Still low on cbfm. Trip to the doctors for me soon. Sad

MissMrsMummy · 18/04/2014 21:31

Until *today

MissMrsMummy · 18/04/2014 21:28

Hi,

I've been using ics and had a feint line for a couple of days now. Until I day when I had just had a line that's barely there at all.

I was expecting the lines to get gradually darker from the end of AF to ov. Does this happen to anyone else?

Viperama · 18/04/2014 20:41

Hi ladies. Cd7 here. Started opk yesterday. Doing mornings on the cb flashing smiley sticks and evening on the cb plain style. Yesterday both negative, this morning negative, this evening smiley. How is that possible to ovulate only 7 days after my period?? We haven't even started DTD yet! Tonight was the night but for goodness sake ovaries, what are you doing!?

EnglishGirlAbroad · 18/04/2014 17:09

Cd 15 and still not even a hint of a line on an OPK! Fuck my life! Hmm

spinningirl10 · 18/04/2014 15:07

Ah tooth, hope the cramps and af bugger off soonThanks

Just got my smiley face in opk and also have tons of cm( tmi) will dtd again later Grin

toothachereturns · 18/04/2014 14:10

I'm in bed with horrible cramps. AF means business this month. CD2..... gonna be a loooooong month!Hmm Hmm

spinningirl10 · 18/04/2014 13:37

Ah working today is rubbish!! I just ha to do a couple of hours first thing but I work mainly from home so not too bad. Enjoying the sunshine now whilst catching up on MN Grin

spinningirl10 · 18/04/2014 13:36

Got another negative opk but lots of cm so maybe I missed my peak, oh well, will keep poas and dtd Grin

EnglishGirlAbroad · 18/04/2014 13:15

I'm working too Jack. Sucks! And not even many fannys to wax! Crap, boring day. I'd rather be at home with DH!

JacktheLab · 18/04/2014 12:47

Howdy all, I'm at work on Good Friday grrr! I just had a little thought that it would be lovely to be on maternity leave this time next year enjoying the sunshine Grin

Hello to new people, let's hope we get a bfp soon although given dh and I's lack of dtd it's not likely to be me. Not to worried he's been told we will be really trying from next month once a Xmas baby isn't a possibility and hopefully get a baby born before the end of feb so we avoid an extra year of childcare Shock

Lunawolf · 18/04/2014 11:57

Hi all!

AF on its way, I'm totally gutted.

TTC #2 cycle 14. Can't believe it's cycle 14!!!

First appointment at clinic on 25th, everything crossed.

Good luck everyone! Positive vibes for May Smile xxx
